New Top 10...interesting

5 & 6 stanford/miami
7 & 8 mizz/baylor

I respectfully disagree, I think Mizzou has the best resume of the bunch, but actually think baylor would be the best team. That's why it's difficult to rank teams.

really. i only troll bama for the most part.......

dont really see how we couldnt see eye to eye a lot

Well while trolling Bama you like to bad mouth all southerners. Its kinda like if you were black and I was using all kinds of racist remarks to describe the guy sitting next to you and he was black.

Using hate speech to talk about southerners in general is no different than using hate speech to describe a gay person or a black person, and you do it all the time. That is why I say we dont always see eye to eye.

Bama at least has LSU and Auburn left, Ohio st has what Michigan? I mean really they don't have any tough games left. FSU has Miami and Florida both of which have virtually no offense. The only team that might have a better schedule left than Bama is Oregon with Stanford, Ore St, and UCLA.

Tough games

Bama- LSU, Auburn
Oregon- stanford, ucla, utah, oregon st
OSU- Penn St, Michigan, Indiana (offensively)

Yah I know. But it doesn't matter Oregon will lose to Wazzu LOL

T'would be awesome, but...

Ohio State should roll through the rest of their sched. Indiana might be the toughest challenge.

Go ahead and try to give me an argument about Stanford being rated above Auburn based on any measure. It's sort of impossible.

Hmm...other than preconceived notions of strength before the season...can't think of much

Rival and conference games are usually close, anything can happen

Based on the quality of those opponents those aren't tough games though. I agree anything can happen in a rivalry game, but I would be stunned if tOSU lost to any of those 3. They've beaten nobody but each other.

I hate how many SEC teams play a scrub near the end of the schedule. Just play them in the beginning and get those turd games over with. I imagine most of the fans from SEC schools would agree.

They do that for a reason.

Play your conf games early in September so you get media hype and "top 10" matchups.

Its 100% poll positioning and its genius. Which the BIG XII would adopt it.

That's why it's hard to go undefeated in conference play. Teams get worked up to play and beat you. It can make or break their season. PSU and Michigan both have some talent on those teams ... Ohio State needs to show up. And Indiana does have an offense capable of competing in a shoot out.

Can't take ANY team for granted. Or else you get what we've see the past two weeks.

 

[NickVT10]

the 9 and 10 spots will be the interesting. Stanford, Missouri, Miami and Baylor will be 5 6 7 8 in some order

No argument.

I'm sure the networks who carry the games had some say-so about it, too. There's only so many cupcake games you can broadcast during those first two weeks of the year.

Remaining schedule:

Bama (shit schedule): tenn, lsu, ms state, chatanooga, auburn, SEC ship

Oregon: UCLA, Stanford, utah, zona, oregon st, Pac 12 ship

FSU: NC st, miami, wake, syracuse, idaho, florida, ACC ship

tOSU: Penn St, Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, B1G ship

Please explain to me how minimum 3 top25 teams out of 6 games is a shit schedule.

Oregon is the only team that has a tough schedule

Well, Tennessee is an SEC East team, so apparently that speaks for itself.

2 out of 5, 3 out of 6 counting the SEC championship game, which you did.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Especially since LSU isn't the team they have been the past.

Auburn could fall out by then and LSU like i said looks not right. Then you add in Chatanooga.

Still 3 of those teams have easy schedules minus the CCG

but wait...you're saying PSU and Michigan are tough games for Ohio St, b/c of the rivalry factor, but CAN'T do that for Bama against LSU, who is CLEARLY better than both PSU and Michigan??

Good point until the highlighted comment. Has LSU played PSU and Michigan?

Then it 'aint very clear ...
