Turning point easily in the game was the holding call which forced msu into a fg they missed. If that td count would have been up 28-14 and game would have been over. Next play after missed fg was the 70yd td To tie it 21 all

OSU QB made some great passes last night. He looked completely different against Penn State.

If only our offense could function we could be pretty good. PSU defense ranking is top 10 and offense is close to the bottom.

He was hurt in the PSU game, but PSU's defense is better than Sparty this year.

I don't understand how Auburn stayed in the Top 10. They actively lost their game to TA&M.

Nah, give them a major bowl game to let them get slaughtered at.

I am still bitter we had to play Northern Illinois two years ago.

He posted that there were reports Urbz knew something about the game during the week and as a result appeared way calmer than he normally would.

We made fun of him for this.

He has been posting stuff like this ever since, to the delight of all.

Nothing really, was just posting earlier int he week that media types had said urban was acting very relaxed as he knew something no one else did. Clear now he saw how to easily exploit sparty.

Just having fun, big win for this team and still super happy about the win

I hear you (didn't even get my picks in this week as I was busy with work and an upcoming move), and I'm not happy about it truth be told. Your team is still super young, so its actually scary what you guys are going to be like in 2016.

Here is my list, then. This should make complete sense, taking into account previous rankings and results for week 11:

1 Mississippi State 9-0
2 Florida State 9-0
3 Oregon 9-1 (should they win tonight, game is currently close)
4 Alabama 8-1 (road win, although they did not look like a top 4 team to me)
5 TCU (looking like a top 4 team last few weeks, but hard to leap frog other teams that win against in-conference opponents)
6 Arizona State (blowout of #10 ND, however overrated they were)
7 Baylor (blowout road win)
8 Ohio State (Road win of top 10 team)
9 Ole Miss (transitive logic says they shouldn't be ranked in the top 10, but obviously, real world doesn't work that way)
10 Nebraska (undeserved, but we already didn't deserve to be #13, in my opinion, and 4 teams lost in front of us.

11 Auburn (Once again, you lost to Texas A&M, you do not deserve to be ranked in the top 10.)

All that arguing, labeling of "troll" and "joke character," and your list is not substantively different that the one you took issue with, except for moving Auburn down 3 insignificant spots (and putting Nebraska in)?

That's some poor form. You could have just said "you know, I think the committee will punish Auburn a bit more than you do" and left it at that.

Coaches Poll and AP polls are a joke. Reserve your remarks for Tuesday and if you are right, then you can refer to "that poster" all you want. As it is, this only means the polls remain as stupid as they always have been. :)

This week's playoff ranking will be interesting because, as of yet, who beats you and how many losses you have have mattered to the committee a ton, it would seem. If Auburn comes in at 8 from the playoff committee, I will eat my hat.

Btw, I will preemptively apologize to ksharp whether I am right or wrong. my qualms with his posts were less about Auburn and more about how ridiculous his opinions on other teams were. For example saying that Auburn and Ole Miss had a better quality win resume than a TCU for example. Also saying that tOSU had been irrelevant for a long time, despite being consistently top 10 for the past 3 years, going undefeated in regular season in back to back years, etc.

The SEC homerism got to me, and affected my replies, and for that, I apologize.

OSU scored 49 points vs MSU last night with a freshman QB 4 new Oline. Michigan has only scored 43 points COMBINED against MSU during the Hoke era.

Can someone explain to me why TCU is ranked above Baylor? Baylor has the head-to-head victory, if Baylor win out they will win the Big 12, and both TCU/Baylor have the same record.

Baylor's loss is worse.

If that doesn't make any sense to you, that's only a sign that you are still thinking like a sane and rational person.

I guess it's because TCU's loss to Baylor came one week earlier than Baylor's loss to WVU.

Baylor also had possibly the weakest out-of-conference schedule in the nation. TCU at least played Minnesota. Not exactly a titan, but they are 7-2 and did destroy Iowa last week. Baylor's best OOC win is against a 5-5 FCS team.
