The coaches poll is always a joke. There is no way ohio state should be 4th. They are a one or a two.Comment

Well, I agree that OSU is the best team in the nation, but I honestly don't think it matters that much anymore. The CFP has gone against the AP and the Coaches, Seemingly, on purpose. And #1 or #4 in the CFP doesn't mean anything."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

I think I'd rather be #1 only because you are, perhaps, better suited to be at the front of the line of "1-loss" teams if and when that tragedy should befall Ohio State.
As for rankings, if it's the dreaded "look test" then Ohio State should probably be #1. If it's quality of your bests wins, then LSU is probably #1 and Ohio State is #2. I think Alabama is #3 for both. The reality is that it's some combination of the two.
I'm also still fully expecting BOTH Alabama and LSU to make the CFP (assuming the loser finishes at 11-1 and the winner wins the SEC CG). I also think the winner will be finish #1 in the CFP. The question, then, is does the loser finish #3 or #4. That will depend on what happens in this weird ass B10 season.
I gotta say, it'd be pretty funny to see LSU go undefeated again and then have to play UAT again in the CFP. Heh.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Oh, with the cfp, being #1 early matters if you end up losing a game later, no doubt. Coaches poll, much less so."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

Alabama
Ohio State
Clemson
LSU
Will be your first four next week.
Then Bama will drop out, make it back to a top 4, and lose @Auburn.
This defense...,woof."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

That's probably the way its going to look.
Bama v LSU takes care of one of those, and that winner likely gets the SEC championship. Although, I think you're correct that Auburn could still play a role here.
I also think its highly possible that Oklahoma sneaks back in if they beat Baylor and win the Big 12 championship game.
But OSU is going in as the top seed, and I don't see them losing a game at all. This is their year. As good as Justin Fields may be, the real story on that team is their defense."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

I still think it'll be LSU, Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson. I think they'll probably look at those 3 teams and more or less conclude they're about the same in terms of kicking ass, and then look at their wins and rate them in order of quality wins. Now, Cincinnati ain't that good, but they're going to be in the top 25 along with Wisconsin.
I still think Florida/Georgia winner will be ahead of Penn State. And rightfully so.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I think their defense is pretty good, but they haven't played an offense that even approximates what they'll see if they make the CFP. It's going to be culture shock for any B10 team to from playing B10 offenses to Clemson/LSU/Alabama.But OSU is going in as the top seed, and I don't see them losing a game at all. This is their year.

Agree Florida v Georgia winner should be ahead of Penn State. PSU is absolutely a paper tiger. They needed a dropped pass at home to spare them against Michigan, and they looked less than stellar the week before against Iowa. They drilled MSU, but the wheels are coming off in EL, and it looks like the Dantonio love affair is approaching its end.
OSU is going to destroy PSU, and that's what is supposed to happen.
Auburn could still play a role if Bama beats LSU, but then falls on their arse against the Tigers. I think that opens the door for someone like Oklahoma, or maybe even a long shot PAC 12 champion.
A lot could still happen including some upsets, but I think OSU is way ahead of all the contenders at this point."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Good ol' JPW!
Alabama needs Tua to beat LSU, but if they have Tua I then I think they will beat LSU. AlabamAlum oversells how bad the UAT defense is. It's not necessarily up to The Nick's standards, but it's still damn good. LSU ain't hanging 38 on UAT.
Hopefully Ohio State-Maryland is a noon game. That's a pretty epic rematch battle, so I'd probably have to watch that over LSU-Alabama.
