Wonder how much Tuesday’s ranking will mirror this?

 

[BigAppleBadger]

I'm fine with this. There's a gap between 5 and 6 and either Clemson or Miami will lose. There's no way they put Wisconsin higher than #4 regardless.

 

[craigk217]

Ohhh myyyyy at the Cougs bein ranked right ahead of Doggies from same state. lolz

How in dahell is LSU still in the Top 25 with three losses (Troy), much less ahead of MSU, WVU, NCSU & one loss USF?

Other than that ... I'm pretty good with this. Not that this really matters, anyway.

 

[iowajerms]

The semifinals are Sugar Bowl and Rose Bowl. The Top seed gets whatever is closest to them. It is looking like Sugar Bowl is going to be the semifinals with #1 vs #4. Look at the Top 10.

1 Alabama - Sugar Bowl is closer
2 Miami - Sugar Bowl is closer
3 Oklahoma - Sugar Bowl is closer
4 Clemson - Sugar Bowl is closer
5 Wisconsin - Sugar Bowl is closer
6 Auburn - Sugar Bowl is closer
7 Georgia - Sugar Bowl is closer
8 Ohio State - Sugar Bowl is closer
9 Notre Dame - Sugar Bowl is closer
10 Oklahoma State - Sugar Bowl is closer

USC is #10 in Coaches Poll. They would be Rose Bowl.

I'm guessing
1)Alabama
2)Miami
3)Clemson
4)Oklahoma

Is the safest bet.Anything outside the top 7 may be shifted around a bit.But this is the committee so who knows

 

[BigAppleBadger]

The Sugar Bowl is always closer if a Pac-12 team isn't involved.

It's going to be funny when we beat them 45-13 @ MONTLAKE

 

[ralphiewvu]

For my own selfish reasons it’s bullshit an unranked LSU jumped at least 5 spots after beating a 4 win team. No way they should of jumped a load of teams including my own.

I'd really like to hear more 'input' from yourn fellow Doggie brethren, bruh.

Perhaps "The List" is called for in this issue @outofyourmind ?

This squad is weird. Can play the best football out there @ home, but then on the road they fold when the sledding gets tough. Frustavating.

 

[tnapucco]

Please take the crazy pills out of my hands. Since when is OU ranked higher in the AP than in the Coaches Poll?

 

[dennis580]

I will be shocked if this is not the committee's top 4.

1. Bama
2. Miami
3. OU
4. Clemson

 

[Jumpman98]

I wish there was only one poll. The powers that be should eliminate the other polls and just have one.

1. Bama
2. Miami
3. OU
4. Clemson

I could see them swapping Bama/Miami and Oklahoma/Clemson but that is definitely going to be the top four
