Minnesota ... wow

 

[cowboyec]

PJ Fleck has done a helluva job at Minnesota.
If Im FSU or USC....that $10mil buy-out is worth it.

 

[Miller]

TCU got screwed by refs

 

[Hardline]

Texas down 14-7 at halftime to Kansas St
Ends up winning 27- 24

I remember a thread about how Dallas needed Alex Grinch to "fix" the defense earlier this season. I won't call the member out, but he knows who he is.

Bama doesn’t have any wins against a ranked team at the moment. They better pray some teams at the top start losing or they won’t be in the CFP.

 

[viman96]

Bama still in the top 4. Penn drops to 11. Minnesota moves to #7.

4 game ban for a loan is bs.

Sometimes I SO hate the NCAA and their bs

Bama is going to need help to make the final 4. SEC champ, Clemson, and Big 10 champs likely will be in the final 4 unless there’s a lot of upsets. A one loss PAC 12 champ or a one loss Big 12 could easily jump Bama.

If both LSU and Bama run the table from here on out--.so Bama beats Auburn and LSU beats UGa in the SEC title game---Bama could still very well be the 4th team.

But as you said, a 12-1 Oregon team could leap them.
Can't see a 1 loss Big 12 leaping a 1 loss Alabama or 1 loss LSU .....but if Baylor ran the table and also won Big 12 title game, they could.

Should be interesting.

From daily Tweets thread. LOL perfect for here as well

The irony is that Alabama is on their hands and knees rooting for Auburn to beat Georgia this coming Saturday. If Auburn loses that game then Alabama is facing the very real possibility of having 1 single win against a ranked team*, and that team would probably be outside the top-20.

I don't see Alabama getting in over a 1-loss conference champion given their sad sack schedule.

* "Ranked teams" meaning looking at the team's end of season ranking, not the ranking they held when they played

Based on playoff committee history, that would happen.

What would happen? Bama getting jumped? Their schedule is going to hurt them this year.

 

[DFWJC]

Could be wrong, but I think with normal bowl-level prep and being fully healthy, the current top 5 teams could all beat Baylor by three touchdowns.

If they beat OU I might drop that that to 2 TDs though. OU's defense is, uh, not so great.


But again, I've been wrong before like the rest of us.

Totally agree because those champ teams would have an extra data point by winning a conf championship.
And Bama has had a terrrible schedule this season.

LSU looks like the best team in football to my eye so a good loss but simply very few wins that reach more than decent.

IF Oregon and OU both win out then it could get really ugly.

Baylor is extremely well-coached.
So much so that NFL teams are after Rhule.
I think they'd lose to the top 5 but not by large margins.
They just compete hard and play smart football.

... also if Tua's ankle isn't healthier the rest of the way Bama may lose again.
He really struggled with movement and teams are going to pick up on that and get after that ankle.

 

[jterrell]

Very interested to see which way FSU goes for a coach.
Zero reason that team isn't year in and year out at the top of the ACC with Clemson.
