Game Thread: First CFP Rankings

[uafan4life]

They're releasing them now.

 

[uafan4life]

I can't believe Notre Dumb is still in the Top 15.

 

[uafan4life]

SEC Teams plus Top 6:

11. Barn
10. Florida
6. Georgia
5. Clemson
4. Penn State
3. Alabama
2. LSU
1. Ohio State

Interesting.

Set up for big10 clemson and secx2

Minnesota being ranked so low doesn't really matter because if they beat Penn St they are going straight to the top 10

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Minnesota getting no respect at all.

Biggest takeaway for me is the statement that a loss to LSU essentially takes us out of the playoff discussion.

We would need a miracle.

 

[Keldeo]

Also no respect for Memphis for beat a Top 15 unbeaten team

If we can’t beat LSU at home then barring a huge upset we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs and the critics using our schedule against will have been validated. This LSU team is good but they are no where near as good as their 2011 team.

There's a game tonight?

Just kidding UAFan.

Looks about how I'd expect it to look.

Next week it will be interesting.

Same goes for LSU with Texas being unranked.

Not necessary. Just heard their explanation and from what I gathered.... Alabama could still get in with a close loss... depending on how the game went. If Alabama lose, they probably drop to #5, #6...

and then win out... Won't hurt.

If we lose to LSU we'd need LSU to win the SECCG and then hope the committee would feel that a 1-loss Bama is better than a 1-loss Oregon. That could happen if we beat Auburn because Oregon lost to Auburn.

Lots of football to be played and the top 4 will be shaken up.

Ohio State plays Penn State
LSU plays Bama
Clemson...well, Clemson doesn't play anyone
In all probability, Georgia will play the winner of the Bama-LSU game

Buckle up! It's going to be an interesting finish to this season.

 

[Keldeo]

I do think Pac 12's hopes are going to be riding on the score of Bama vs LSU. Oregon/Utah doesn't want to see a close game. If it is a close game then they will hope Bama is the loser since we still have Auburn left while LSU has nobody.

The committee leaving Clemson out sends a loud and clear message—who you play in the regular season MATTERS.

Yah, that's some FIRE.

Also why Bama is (currently) 3rd. TCOB and all is well.

I wonder how far LSU will drop after we beat them this weekend?
