“Hey guys! You know that team that just whooped my team’s ass? Yeah, they’re not very good.”

Seems like an odd subject for OP.

Yea really. I like S&P+ rankings, but this thread just reeks of butthurt.

The new hot thing on CFB reddit is Michigan fans “showing respekt” to MSU because the team thrives on being “disrespekted” and they are doing reverse voodoo by pretending to be respectful which is even more disrespectful.

:scratch:...I feel like you just hammered a 10 penny nail thru my skull.

Yeah. Phony respect is pretty disrespectful.

What is weird is BTN is loving Iowa's TEs, Stanley, and their defense. I think they are saying with Iowa's defense and Iowa dominating their opponents, they think 12-1 Iowa could make CFP. Personally, I don't agree. They don't have a name, like Alabama.

I'm thinking they lost to West Virginia and maybe Texas Tech. Tech has won 2 of the last 3 and this will be in Red Raider country. However, the last time Tech beat the Longhorns in Lubbock was 2008 so my opinion might just be a pile of shit lol
Not a pile of shit. TT fool's gold. Tech is better, but some of that has to do with Okie Lite and TCU being much worse.

Tech is one of the teams that can't win a conference title but can certainly screw up a good team's chances of doing so.

Who else do you think you'll lose to? You get Iowa State and the couch burners at DKR.

WV is going to tough, and I just think Ok st,, Tech, are going to give them all they want.

I think it is pretty simple. I don’t see Texas going undefeated through the rest of the season, because they 4 games that are not locks. I can’t pick the loss, but someone is likely to get them

I will say, the S&P rankings don't really apply to this Texas team. This team is not great by any stretch, however against USC, TCU and OU (95% of the game, lull, then the last FG winning drive) they exerted their will, especially in second halves of USC and TCU games. The last drive of the Tulsa game is where they found out who they are: long drives, taking up the entire play clock by snapping at 5 seconds or less and sapping the energy from the opponent. Lot of it has to do with how Elingher plays, and he is definitely not a "metrics" kind of guy.

I'm just as unsure of the rusty cows as you guys. I'm not saying you guys are that good. I'm just not seeing your Big 12 brethren looking too hot this year. Okie Lite, TCU and K-State are underperforming as related to expectations. West Virginia may well end up that way too.

We'll see.

what are S&P+ rankings?
Do they matter in terms of actual rankings?
do they get used for Playoff or bowls or anything that matters?
is it just some guy in his moms basement bloviating about something he came up with on his Mac Book Pro that he feels has some sort of clout to anyone?
im guessing here
Yeah, I feel about them kinda the same way David Pollock feels about the "espn FPI". Hogwash

Y’all may beat us by 3 touchdowns ala 2014 style. That game November 3rd we’ll be the first Saturday we have played since early October. An I have no confidence in our offensive line.

Not crying at all. Tell us again how amazing your rat looking coach and beta quarterback are and how they’re TOTALLY a CFP team. Go lick your wounds and apply some ointment to your ass. It’s gotta be sore after both auburn and Oregon had their way with you.

God damn, son!

Last time someone verbally assaulted another person like this was when Ronda Rousey cut that promo on the Bella Twins.

If they go through their schedule and end up beating Ohio State in the CCG, they're in.
