POLL CFB Playoff Resumes (Washington, Wisconsin, Penn State & Michigan)

[mall3013]

Thats the game I have as the biggest chance for an upset to mall. Clemson has had some close calls all year. And V Tech may have what it takes to cause playoff havoc

I think VT defense matches up well versus that Clemson offense. And Clemson has not shown me strong defense? Maybe I'm missing something?

They seem hot and cold. I think they are top 5 in sacks though.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I don't think it would be havoc really.

I think theres a lot of potential for it. Im hoping for play off expansion after the way this season has gone

It probably will only occur of Clemson and Washington lose.

I don't see Colorado holding up against Washington. They are a great story. But I don't think they have the weapons to run with Washington. Theirs a good chance that game gets blown open imo

From the few games I have watched from UW, they look like they have a legit defense as well?

Yeah I agree. The Huskies have so many weapons on offense and their defense is solid.

Udubs may debatably have the best CB tandem in the nation. Colorado struggled with a Utes team the ducks broke the weekend before. If the play punt coverage like they did against Utah Pettis will have a field day. Washington isn't going to drop the passes Utah did. And I wouldnt count on Gaskins putting the ball on the ground as many times as Williams did. If williams protects the ball. And Utah could convert on one of their many trips to the red zone. They would have pulled the upset. I think Washington takes this game in a blowout imo

I think Colorado gets smoked

Well -- in Colorado it happens everyday.

I cant believe UW has only played 5 teams over .500 and lost one of those games. While they dominated the PAC, probably the weakest P5 conference, I just dont think their resume is good. A top 10 win against Colorado could help but all those teams have better resumes.

I am not surprised at all. I look at Colley Matrix and Anderson and Hester's top 25 ratings every week since week 9. Washington's SOS has been under .500 all year long. After they beat Washington State, their SOS finally passed the .500 mark. Their SOS will improve even more, if they beat Colorado.

It's hard to tell before any of the CC games. Your question assumes that Clemson and TOSU are locks. I disagree. The only real lock is Alabama.

I think Michigan deserves to be #4, best resume of anyone and should have beaten OSU in Ohio. Our only true loss comes against a (now ranked) Iowa team on a last second field goal. But, I don't think Michigan deserves to be in the playoff, if that makes sense?

It's a pretty wacky year where the two best teams in the B10 are not playing for a conference title game. Michigan beat both teams who have the chance to win it, one in blowout form. This is the aftermath of a terrible league set up with 14 teams and all the power in 1 division.

I should have finished, Washington would jump us if they win the CCG.

There are wins and losses. Not true wins and true losses, whatever the hell that means. 5 in a row. Harbaugh joins RRod as only the second coach in Michigan's history to start out 0-2 vs. Ohio State, and unless you are over 90, you have seen Michigan lose to Ohio State more than win. Have a great week

Except he won the game and that "win" by OSU will forever go down in sports controversy. Might as well throw an asterisk on it.

I can see where you might say that, since the bad call swung in your favor.

Dude, I'm a Raiders fan...don't whine to me about calls going against your team
