The big 12 and big 10 already play a 9 game schedule, however, the big 10 seems to protect the upper tier teams in the conference by having them play the mediocre to bad teams and one or two teams that are equal.
Potential final ranking prognostication
- Thread starter Cruloc
- Start date
Most seem to think we'll draw A&M which I dread. I don't like playing them right after they're coming off their only loss of the season and I think Marcel Reed's legs are going to cause us a lot of problems on defense. I'd much rather play OU again.
I don't usually take Vegas seriously but the odds have started to move against us. The last few years about an hour beforehand the odds have moved in the correct direction. Leaks?
I think we might be out and Miami in
I think we might be out and Miami in
We have been a steady-350 ever since we lost. Which is essentially still considered a lock. I think everyone is still mad that Bret Mcmurphy caught wind of the major leak about SMU vs Alabama last year and spoiled it 3 hours before the reveal. Essentially costing Vegas and ESPN a lot of money
Moved to -290 a few minutes ago. Maybe it's off
They also have us vs A&M listed though which would imply we're in idk
I said it last night that this would be the case. I don't want to be right.
AP Poll is out. We are 11th and Miami is 10 and byu is 12th. If this is the committee ranking, we are out. Tulane and James Madison get in by default.
I was looking at resumes earlier and they have a case.
Two close losses by less than 10 points combined to two 8-4 teams.
Top 40 SOS and beat FSU who beat us by 2 TD’s
Beat ND and ND is considered as a lock.
The committee could do it and not have to explain a single thing.
JMU being in is so funny. They're going to get destroyed
Yeah. The thing is our sos is 6th I think. We've clearly played a significantly harder schedule.
But honestly we got blown out twice
The spread vs Oregon is 21.5 lol!
We've got too many injuries with too little time to get healthy and truly be competitive. Add that to our OL issues and I just dont see us as deserving to be in tbe playoffs. We've gotten worse in the second half of the season and ended with getting beat down by UGA and looking noncompetitive. We did ourselves no favors the second half of the season. We plummeted.
I can hear the idiots now. "You never know." While the rest of us with a fully functional brain actually do know
AP is a trash poll as they've proved consistently this year....lots of Bama haters voting
I did not think we would get in last year, and after yesterday's performance don't see us being included this year. We are simply not a very good team at this point.
This is actually the real issue, IMHO. Why do Tulane and JMU "have" to be included?
Keep them out and you have all 3 of ND, Bama, and Miami in.
Also, IMHO, I would put Duke in instead of James Madison.
No G5 team should have a guaranteed spot.
They should be either undefeated or maybe 12-1 at worst with that only loss being close to a highly ranked P4 team that demonstrates they can compete.
2 G5 teams being in the mix is just obsurd.
Maybe the 12th Seed should be a play-in spot between the two best bubble teams… I don’t know.
JMU and Tulane or Duke would all get just hammered by a Top 8 P4 team.
