Any guesses for the poll tonight?

 

I'm thinking ND stays at 10 and is jumped by ASU.

 

I will also not be shocked if Ole Miss stays ahead of ND at 10 and ND moves to 11 or lower.

that would not surprise me at all...i've already accepted it.

i would love for ASU to jump us. Top ten win on the road. Check.

I think ND stays at 10 or moves up one (for the ole miss loss).

 

I think the committee is just going to have ND treading water until after the Arizona State game. If ND wins the games convincingly then the Irish will move up. If it is a squeaker, then ND is just going to stay sitting on the outside...

That would tick off some LSU fans for sure.

Yuuup.

 

Here's another doozey. The B1G is being gifted a spot. Look at the last poll 11-16.

 

11.Georgia- Lost

12.Arizona- Lost

13.Baylor- Won

14.ASU- Won

15.Nebraska- Won

16.tOSU- Won

 

So just moving slots up and assume the committee isn't ****ing retarded and keeps a 2 loss team with only one win of note above one loss teams.

 

10.Baylor

11.ASU

12.Nebraska

13.tOSU

 

So MSU has a win over #12. Gonna pick up a win over number 13 maybe? If you look at Nebraska's remaining schedule, do you see a loss? Look at tOSU, if they lose to Sparty, do you see a loss? B1G by virtue of the conference being awful is going to have 3 teams finish top 20 for sure. MSU will have beaten them and get in the playoff.

1. Miss. State

2. Auburn

3. FSU

4. Alabama

5. Oregon

6. TCU

7. Mich. St.

8. Kstate

9. notte dame

10. ASU/baylor

1. Miss. State

2. Auburn

3. FSU

4. Alabama

5. Oregon

6. TCU

7. Mich. St.

8. Kstate

9. notte dame

10. ASU/baylor

 

I'd flip Bama and Oregon, would also keep FSU at #2.

but bama lost on road to ole miss

oregon lost at home to arizona

but bama lost on road to ole miss

oregon lost at home to arizona

 

Quality win, Oregon bested Sparty

 

Oregon is getting lots of sympathy for injuries in the UA loss

I have a feeling ND is going to drop at least a spot or 2.

 

My opinion is based on what we saw in the AP/Coaches/ESPN PI polls, and not my hate of the committee.

The uproar would be at the end of the year when a 2 loss SEC team gets in the playoff ahead of us.

I think the uproar would be what happens "if" ND climbs into the top 4 after their last game, and then has to watch what happens to the ranking when they are watching the conference championship games.

Look, I get that in the end, we're prolly going to be screwed and looking in from the outside...And many people on here are going to be bitching up a storm and demanding eight teams...

 

But this four team playoff has added so much intrigue, so much discussion, to the season. The more and more I think about it, the more I believe that four teams is perfect. We've got like 50 threads dedicated to breaking down how things have to fall for us to get in. I imagine the same thing happening on Sparty forums and Big12 team forums. If it was eight teams, we wouldn't have any of this intrigue. The discussion would become less of a micro thing and more of a macro thing. It'd be "Well just how many SEC teams make it? 2? 3? 4??"

 

This is shaping up to be one of the most interesting and compelling regular seasons in my lifetime. So many moving parts, only four spots. This has been a fantastic ride.

cowherd said if ND wins out there is no way they get left out.

lol, that is great.

That is perfect. Nice...Of course he will be a big voice advocating for that 2 loss SEC team as well.

I don't think the committee is going to cave to public pressure to be honest.

he was actually arguing that the SEC ends up getting left out of the playoff.
