So who is the new #2? Baylor or FSU?

[Runeman]

FSU and it isn't even close. Baylor doesn't play anyone, and when they only really play well at home. When they have to face anyone that is actually decent on the road, they will lose.

I agree; FSU beating Clemson away and beating them bad sealed the deal. IMO, a Baylor win, at home, over an over rated Oklahoma team does not move them into the top 3. Looking forward to FSU and Alabama play. That said, Alabama still has some difficult games remaining.

Their only tough road game will be Okie Lite it looks like. KSU gave Baylor all they could handle on the road, so maybe that is the Baylor loss.

Oklahoma State could very well be a top 8 team by the time they play.

Whether you believe that to be a true ranking....is another story

But, there is no way OHIO STATE keeps Baylor at distance if the Bears beat up another top 10 team while they are stuck playing INDIANA at home the same week.

If Chalk holds up, the final poll will be:

1. ALABAMA
2. fsu
3. Baylor
4. ohio state


it might not be fair, but that is what the Buckeyes are going to have to accept.

Root for Auburn, Okie Lite, Texas, Miami (FL)...... and keep winning.

Yep. What he said.

Auburn at least has an outside chance.

Yes, eventually Baylor will pass tOSU if they continue to win, but I don't think they will pass tOSU this week.

 

[Team Mookie]

Ohio States saving grace (if they beat them) will be Michigan State in the conference championship game. If Sparty keeps winning they should move up to about 10 or 12 by the time TOSU plays them. The Bucks are not out of it yet, but we are now really seeing why this system is and was complete shit.

Sometime the FLORIDA STATE position is the best one.
Sometimes its better to have a bunch of easy games left.

Oregon spent nearly a month bragging about having the tougher schedule than FSU down the stretch.

That is great, but the downside is that you can lose to these good teams you brag about..

Having a much tougher schedule left is not always a good thing at this point of the year.

............

The same thing holds true for Ohio State versus Baylor.

Baylor has all the tough games, but they are not as likely to win them as the Buckeyes.

Yes, eventually Baylor will pass tOSU if they continue to win, but I don't think they will pass tOSU this week.

If tOSU can stomp the crap out of UM and then beat up on MSU things could change in their favor, though. Another Big 12 team might get butthurt because of the lack of a CCG.

 

[757Hokie83]

1. FSU
2. Stanford
3. Bama
4. Baylor
5. VT
6. OSU



but seriously 1-4 is my list of best teams right now

should come out
1. Bama
2. FSU
3. Baylor
4. Stanford
5. OSU

I see you're impressed by Stanford. That was a very impressive show they put on last night. Tobad they lost a game already.

there are many instances where a 1 loss team has been ranked above undefeated AQ teams (including right now), Stanfords body of work, even with the 1 loss, is far and away more impressive than OSU's

and actually, thinking about it, I would revise my top 5 to

Bama
FSU
Stanford
Baylor
OSU

Not if that CCG does not showcase tOSU vs a top 10 team. To date, they've played ZERO teams in the top 10. Baylor already has one win against a top 10 team, and may have 2 by the end of the season. Their body of work is simply better.

why? because the 2 best and most deserving teams are going to get to play while a 3rd team that played a decisively weaker schedule gets elbowed out?

yeah, ok.

You're right but that last game of the year is what most of the moronic pollsters remember and vote accordingly. Just look at that fiasco from two years ago when Okie State got screwed.

 

[bigred472]

bullshit........ they should be #3.

no way in hell should stanford be above them......... they should move up 1 to #4.........

-------
I would normally support most premises about the B1G but this one ain't one of them. And I'm not a hater on OSU. But in order of conference strength, the B1G may not even be better than the ACC this year. And that has to factor in on OSUs position. Beating nobodies in and out of your conference proves/shows nothing. You beat a now two loss Wiky team and NW was almost too much for you to handle and they are now no longer ranked. I'll admit Stanford lost to a "nobody" but the Pac as a whole, is one of the stronger conferences in the country. While OSU may be in the Top 4, it won't surprise me if they slip to the #5 position.

Sorry but that's the truth. You can't expect to hold on to a high ranking when you've beaten no one ranked and another team is undefeated in an AQ having beaten multiple ranked teams.

no one ranked?

 

[sakau2007]

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think ohio state's only win over a currently ranked team is over #24 wisconsin. at home.

So no one ranked then?
