My prediction for the CFP top 25

[WizardHawk]

Is LSU's resume as good as it once was considering how Miami and Auburn have crapped the bed since those wins.

Every year there are controversies over how the committee will pick team A over team B and most of the time there are good arguments for several teams belonging in that top 4. This year? Feels like it will be the other way and really almost no one belongs in the top 4 and yet they will have to find excuses to put 3 of them up there.

If bama finds a way to lose before the end of the season can we just blow it all up and start over?

Not as good as the perception, but still two top 25 wins, three more wins over P5 teams +.500 and another G5 team +.500. I wouldn't be shocked if they were #2 at all.

Good points. Hell, if Aubie and Miami were still "up to par" I could see LSU being #1.

 

[WizardHawk]

The better question is if LSU gets blown up this week, along with some of those questions about resume, does that push them far enough to drop out of the top 4.

Of course they are going to be top 4 here when this selection is done.

"Other relevant factors"

So do what the hell you want. Blanket excuse to make any pick.

Clemson with the better win over Bama with Cuse over A&M

 

[WizardHawk]

cougs in at 8. Wow. And OSU down to 10.

 

[WizardHawk]

6 Dawgs
5 Mich
4 ND
3 LSU
2 Clemson
1 Bama

Top of the first poll.

 

[WizardHawk]

Couple of teams in the top 10 that the order was a bit of a surprise, but not much in the top 6 that stands out as unexpected.

 

[WizardHawk]

10 Buckeyes
9 Kentucky
8 Cougs
7 Oky

Those rounded out the top 10

LMFAO @ Kentucky #9

Theyve kicked it off by lining it up as perfect as possible to jam 2 SEC teams in the playoff again.

Joke

 

[podsox]

Meh whatever

UK has Double digit wins @#11 and #18 and their loss was in OT @#20. Better resume than Ohio State. uK has earned it

I would have us lower after that joke against Purdue.

Ohio State is not that good this year. Neither is Kentucky though, their #9 ranking is a bigger joke than our #10 ranking

Have you actually watched them play the last 2 weeks? They looked terrible in surviving against bad Vanderbilt and Missouri teams.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

1 Alabama
2 Clemson
3 Notre Dame - I think they will give the team with a conference more credit but ND should be higher.
4 LSU
5 Georgia
6 Michigan
7 Oklahoma
8 Ohio State
9 Washington State
10 UCF
11 Kentucky
12 Florida
13 West Virginia
14 Penn State
15 Texas
16 Iowa
17 Utah
18 Mississippi State
19 Texas A&M
20 Houston
21 Northwestern
22 Syracuse
23 Utah State
24 Boston College
25 Washington

Damn, we get ranked in the polls and still aren’t ranked in the playoff.

 

[podsox]

This is a waste of time. Remember 2014 when both Mississippi’s were in the first poll released by the committee. So much ftball left

They play great defense and have a good resume. I wouldnt be shocked if they beat UGA Saturday.

I mean their defense and special teams are legit. Their offense sucks though

I'd say eye test should matter a good amount in these cases as well. I'd be really shocked if they beat UGA.
