So was Oregon-FSU!
One of the greatest football gifs I've ever seen:
So was Oregon-FSU!
Yep. And last year's final wasn't very competitive either.Ohio State-Bama and UGA-Oklahoma are pretty much it
OSU-Oregon was a final. He was listing the only two CFP semifinal games that were very competitive.Dunno what you're talking about, OSU-Oregon was the shit.
I know, I was joking. I know you're old, but you're not that old to pick up on sarcasm. Then again, I could've used green font. You know what, my bad.OSU-Oregon was a final. He was listing the only two CFP semifinal games that were very competitive.
Please I have been everywhere from New York, Florida, Minnesota, St Louis, Vegas, Nebraska, up and down the west coast and over to Hawaii. Homeless are everywhereMove to San Francisco or Portland.
They love their homeless.
I would agree this year, but a pretty credible case can be made that the 4th seed has been better than the 3rd most years. Two champions (14 tOSU and 17 Bama) were 4-seeds, while 3-seeds have a total of 1 CFP game win (17 UGA over OU). I would argue that 15 OU was a tougher semi than MSU, 16 tOSU and Washington were about the same, and 18 OU was certainly more dangerous than ND (though ND had a much better defense).
Not gonna lie, Clemson scares me more than any other team in the nation. If we can beat Penn State, michigan, and win the CCG all impressively like we've been winning, I think we end up #1. Let LSU deal with Clemson.
You might not be wrong, hard to say with any confidence that Minnesota is going to run a gauntlet of Penn State, Iowa, and Wisconsin unbeaten, but they could also be the real deal. My hope is we take care of business and get to Indy and Minnesota is there sitting at 11-1. If that's the case, I see things finishing up as:I think you will handle all 3, but I think your main concern really should be how these other 3 finish after ya beat them for the seeding. Obviously UM and PSU should only have the loss to you left. It would more more than beneficial for them to finish 9-3 and 11-1 (which I think they will) But also Minnesota, if they can somehow get to 12-0 when they face you that’ll be huge. Personally I see them going 10-2 and you facing Wisconsin in the B1G champ game. Which won’t help you as much as an undefeated Minnesota. Just my opinion though.

Minnesota 11-2 - losing to Wisconsin and then OSU
Penn State 10-2 - Minnesota and OSU
michigan 9-3 - Wisconsin, Penn State, and OSU
Wisconsin 10-2 - Illinois and OSU
Those 4 along are impressive to have on the resume. Indiana is also very likely going to go 8-4. The kicker is the fact that, while we had three G5 teams on our OOC, all three of them are likely going to play for their respective conference titles, meaning they all could end up with 9 or more wins. All in all, OSU could be looking at a 13 game schedule with 8 teams going 8-4 or better.
I don't see LSU knocking them off big. LSU, for as good as their resume is, hasn't been dominant against anyone of note to this point. Texas, Auburn, and Bama were all close wins, and Florida was completely back-and-forth all game until the 4th. Bama is obviously a good team, and I think Auburn can be when they're playing with their heads not up their ass, but IMO Florida and Texas really aren't that great and both of them played right with LSU. Georgia has the horses to keep it close with LSU's defensive issues.I meant PSU at 10-2, my bad. Yeah that actually would be better Minny losing to wisky which if they beat Iowa and 1 win NW it won’t matter. Good catch. You know how the rankings go though, it’s what you’ve done for me lately. An if LSU knocks off Georgia big, I’m not sure the committee will look at the whole schedule. Not a dig just my belief. Fair or not.
I'm not so sure. Maybe not Ohio State or Clem, but LSU ain't THAT far in front of two of 'em...at least using common opponents.I’m just looking at the potential 4th seed this year though. As long as they don’t screw themselves you are looking at Oregon/Utah or Oklahoma. Those teams really won’t put the fear of God in any of the top 3 teams currently. Now if they do screw the pooch you are looking at an Alabama team that could be healthy. Yeah, then I’d agree with you this year.
You should probably research the Continental Divide.Fairly certain when I flush my toilet it goes to the Mississippi river and floods out into the Gulf.
I've gotta be honest, I'm starting to think OSU and Clemson are better than LSU this year. Just looking at the games played and how they've turned out. OSU has demolished everyone, and while the UNC game looks bad, Clemson looks like they're maybe starting to round into typical late season Clemson. The biggest problem for LSU is their defense is not set up at all to stop an elite offensive team. Oklahoma-LSU would be interesting in that you're looking at two highly explosive offenses and two suspect defenses. OSU and Clemson, when playing at their best, are the two most complete teams in the nation.I'm not so sure. Maybe not Ohio State or Clem, but LSU ain't THAT far in front of two of 'em...at least using common opponents.
While better than transitive, common opponents can still be flawed. But, LSU provides some indication. Auburn is common to LSU (23-20) and Oregon (21-27). Texas is common to LSU (45-38) and Oklahoma (34-27). While there are factors, those are weren't routs at all.
Got nuttin' for Utah.
Damn my grammaratization/preafrooding skills suck sometimes. "are weren't"? WTH?I'm not so sure. Maybe not Ohio State or Clem, but LSU ain't THAT far in front of two of 'em...at least using common opponents.

I don't see how being in the SEC is a benefit. The B1G has more top 25 teams in the CFP right now. Plus it's all about timing. LSU finishes the year with two unranked teams that they should beat easily and then a top 5 UGA team (assuming they win out). OSU finishes the season with three straight top 15 teams. Recency bias definitely can make an impact, especially if OSU wins their games impressively while LSU keeps winning close.I understand what you are saying but still that resume is great. I still think OSU is better but their resume compared LSUs won’t be. Add in they are an SEC team and I think it will be LSU at #1.
