The Rest of College Football

[WM Wolverine]

I guess I'll be a North Alabama fan for the next few hours, and Oregon State. Chaos!

[Cody_Russell]

I’m usually in favor of sports chaos, but this might not be the kind that we want… Georgia and Alabama potentially making the playoff.

Prayers to Jordan Travis too. That’s awful.

[WM Wolverine]

Iowa is winning the B1G regardless.

[Mike]

It’s Georgia, Oregon, Bama, then everyone else.

[lineygoblue]

I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop Michigan out of the top 4 this week.

Today they appeared to be the weakest of the group.

But if they win next week, and then destroy Iowa in the conference championship, they'll be back in.

So, M still holds its fate in its own hands. And so does OSU.

[Cody_Russell]

I’m curious how close #5 Washington is to #3 M. If Washington comfortably wins, they probably have an argument to move up with a quality win vs Oregon State. Plenty of ball game left though.

The CFP committee takes injuries into account and I can see Florida State easily falling. Unfortunate, but a Jordan Travis injury is legitimately a huge deal.

It’s Georgia, Oregon, Bama, then everyone else.

When it comes to eye test and how they’re playing right now… maybe! M’s performance vs Maryland certainly dings them with the eye test and dominance argument.

[WM Wolverine]

Doesn't matter, the winner of M-Buckeyes stays (or jumps) ahead of Washington, loser drops below. Washington has just Washington State and the Pac-12 CG left...

Florida State has a tough schedule left (Florida and Louisville), two losses are even possible for them...

Texas only has 1-loss, they benefit the most from any of Florida State/Washington losing. Texas needs to hold on to beat Iowa State, then they play Texas Tech, then they'll likely play Oklahoma in the Big XII CG.

[WM Wolverine]

SEC likely gets 2 teams in IF Bama beats Georgia... Oregon loses the tiebreaker (I assume) with Washington, they'd need some help to get to the CFP. Having watched the Washington/Oregon game, I felt Oregon was the better team that lost that day.

I think that's probably right. I'd like to think the defense in the B10 is really good, but in truth, the offenses are unspeakably bad.

That said, Alabama needed a Jayden Davis injury against LSU. That was a great back-and-forth game and UAT showed no signs of stopping LSU. Until Davis went out.

[lineygoblue]

I’m curious how close #5 Washington is to #3 M.

Actually, I think Oregon is still better than Washington. I think M could handle Washington on a neutral field, but would be in danger of getting blown out by Oregon anywhere they play. I don't know what happened to Oregon when they played Washington, but I still think the Ducks are better. Just a IMO.

If FSU's QB is done, as it appears he is, they'll be checking out soon. If not to Florida, surely to Louisville. That FSU v Florida game is usually unpredictable. IMO, Louisville is this year's surprise team. I don't think anyone expected them to be this good.

[Mike]

The Ducks are gonna wreck Washington in the rematch. It will be 20+ points.

If FSU wins out, they’re in as an undefeated P5 champ. Maybe the football gods will help us out again and give a UM/FSU semifinal. Doubtful but one can dream.

My prediction right now is the field will be:

1. Georgia
2. OSU
3. Oregon
4. Texas

This is based on FSU dropping one of their last two. If they win out, Texas is bumped. If Alabama beats Georgia… CHAOS.

[lineygoblue]

My prediction right now is the field will be:

1. Georgia
2. OSU
3. Oregon
4. Texas

I think I'd be tempted to take that to Sportsbook in Mt. Pleasant and lay some money on it. Its a solid prediction. Only chink in the armor I see is if Texas lays an egg against Oklahoma in the B12 CCG. They couldn't stop Okie before, and I'm wondering if they've improved enough to get past them now.

If JJ is dinged up, as many suspect, that's going to hurt M against OSU. The weather on Wednesday is supposed to be like arctic conditions, but by Saturday its supposed to be more like a normal late November day. So weather shouldn't be a factor.

Bama could upset Jawja. The Tide has quietly been winning, and you know that Nick is still miffed that he was left out of last year's playoffs. There's a lot of motivation there.

And for my most ridiculous statement of the day, I think Oregon could win the whole doggone thing.

[iam416]

You people are crazy if you think OSU is beating M.

[lineygoblue]

I'm crazy then.

At best, this game is a coin flip.

[iam416]

M is -3’

And that’s light
