WOW OU at 5 I am totally shocked really thought the committee would hammer us for our crap defense.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Like I said in my thread 3 P5 conferences could be left out.

lulz at okie st at 11. GMFB

Could theoretically, but I don't think they'd put ND +2 schools from the same conference in. Regardless, way too many games left for that to even be considered now.

 

[ckhokie]

ESPN already trying to give Ohio State a free pass on the OK loss

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Seems reasonable

 

[Eco]

I can't complain.

I hate OKLAHOMA, but this moron suggesting Ohio State beats Oklahoma by two touchdowns is a tool.

There is literally zero evidence to suggest that is even remotely true.

They already played (in ohio) with fully healthy teams and it was not even competitive.

I would laugh my ass off if Oklahoma gets left off, but this assertion is just some wild theory totally ungrounded.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Most significant thing in the rankings is Oklahoma being ahead of Ohio State.

But I don't agree with UGA being number 1. Should be Bama.

Guess we'll see if we truly belong there as the season goes on though.

UGA has played a much better schedule, so im okay with them on top.

Oklahoma has to be ahead of OSU after their game.

They could, but they won't.

It's worth talking about, but really and truly, assuming both UGA and Bama are undefeated in the SECCG, the loser of that game is out unless multiple conference champs have 2 losses IMO.

If Notre Dame wins out, there will likely be 2 left out, but not 3.

Why them over you? What great win do they have above whatever games your team has played? FSU is garbage so what THIS YEAR gives them the nod for #1 clearly above Georgia?

I wouldn't say much better. We've played one team that is really good in ND and one team that looks to be decent in Miss State.

I agree that Oklahoma should be, but I wasn't sure if the would be. Nice to see the committee not falling in line with the AP in that regard.

 

[cwerph]

Frankly was hoping to be lower so if the Buckeyes win out and are in the top 4 at the end it makes the weeping and wailing here that much more entertaining.

I just think they're a better team. Starting units are comparable, but the only position we can match Bama's depth with is running back. They're undefeated, and undeniably the more talented team IMO.

If Bama and UGA were to play this week, Bama would be at least a 10 point favorite.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the UGA team I've seen so far, but I think we're overachieving a bit. The win against Notre Dame was good, but by and large I think the quality of our other opponents make us look better than we actually are. I know Miss State ain't horrible, but Auburn dominated them just as much as we did the very next week.

 

[WizardHawk]

And I really don't see anything outrageous. They have quite a few one loss teams ahead of Wisconsin and Miami so clearly the committee right now is sending at least a soft message about SoS or lack there of.

List won't remain this way anyway.

If Oklahoma drops another game, yall are shoe ins IMO. If Notre Dame drops another, I could see both yall and Oklahoma getting in.

Agreed. Glad Rece called him out on that.

With another round of layoffs looming, Jesse needs to up his analysis game instead of just spewing nonsense like a jagoff.
