Washington yes.. FSU no. Their starting QB is injured. I think the CFP will take that into account

If FSU goes 13-0 they are a lock.

I don't think they are, and I don't think they will

They beat UF. Louisville isn’t that good.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

They beat UF.

Who cares, they've had losing seasons the past 3 years.

Louisville isn’t that good.

Exactly. The CFP will know FSU will lose to #1 in the first round... and will use the fact that their starting QB is injured to put a 1 loss Texas or OSU over them.

An undefeated power 5 champ makes the POs.

And if they do it will just solidify that a committee deciding who makes the POs is fucking stupid.

Depends on who they've beaten

They started hot beating #13 LSU by a lot, stuggled with Boston College, beat Clemson in OT. Avg Ranking of opponent 62,

By Comparison:

OSU barely beat #16 Notre Dame, Beat #10 PSU, and barely lost to #2 Michigan. Avg Rank of opponent 55

Texas lost to #8 Alabama, but beat #12 Oklahoma, and just below ranked Kansas and Kansas St. Avg rank of opponent 45

FSU had an easier schedule with multiple scares to lesser teams.

You’ve got Texas‘ win/loss backwards.


Sorry but it’s stupid. The numbers youre using are also based on opinion. So you’re justifying one opinion by using another. Ever heard of a self licking ice cream cone?

Oops if I mixed up Bama and OK, but I'm using AP polling.

Which is just opinion Is it not?

I get that FSU without their star QB probably loses to Texas and OSU (They probably lose to them with him) I think you could say the same thing about Washington. So why not put UGA, UM, OSU and UT in the are probably the 4 best teams technically.

Hey, why not? You said it, not me.

It's not about who IS the best, it's who has the best resume.. supposedly.

The AP poll is legitimate data. It's not just my subjective opinion.

I want saying it was your opinion it is an opinion. In the APs case it’s just an amalgam of opinions. The committee using the APs opinion to justify their opinion is a se

OSU had the chance to prove that they were the best and couldn't do it.

 

[Votto]

OSU had the chance to prove that they were the best and couldn't do it.

It would be a hoot to see them play again in the playoffs

I have not seen it, but I'm sure "The game" was the most watched of any sporting event since the Super Bowl.

Makes sense to match them up again $$$$$$$$$$$$$

But alas, it will probably be Georgia winning by 50 points or more every game instead as people try to stay awake to watch the games.

If you are undefeated and number 5 and Ohio State is ranked 1, 2, 3 or 5 and they lose, FSU takes their place.

OSU just played for the National Championship and lost. NEXT.

Next year OSU and BAMA will be in the tournament but not this year. The last year they do 4 only.

CFP rankings are out.

UGA
UM
WASH
FSU

win and they are in.

Apparently...Oregon is also a lock if they win tonight.

Welp both teams are undefeated and about to collide.

1. I think OSU looks like they have momentum at the right time.
2. I think since Michigan hasn’t had Harbaugh on the sidelines the play calling has been safe, predictable, and not very effective. McCarthy has like 21 pass attempts over the past 2 games, and they have a stud WR and stud TE that can both make big plays.

3 weeks ago I would have been far more confident than I am now. However, I’m glad Michigan has had a few closer games the past few weeks, as before that they were just pounding below average teams by 25-30 pts. Their schedule was back loaded with the tougher opponents, while Ohio State has had some easier tune-ups.

The game is in Ann Arbor, I think this year that’s huge. I think its nearly a toss-up as things stand now. If they played 5 weeks ago I’d have expected Michigan to win by 10 points at least

I heard this morning Ohio State got this QB to transfer from Kansas State?

Ohio State has added a transfer quarterback. Former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard has committed to the Buckeyes
