Nike U fan wants to sweep illicit payments under the rug - shocking.
That Zona coach is pretty good, maybe Michigan should consider hiring him.

Long: TCU has 5 wins over teams that is .500 or above. Baylor has only 3. "We believe TCU is better"
Meanwhile OSU with 9

In true Dabo fashion, Dabo Dabo'd his OC search and just decided to promote two position coaches who have no OC experience to co-coordinator positions without even bothering to do a national search. Time to temper my expectations for the Deshaun Watson era.
And Baylor and TCU have one loss to teams with winning records, whereas OSU has zero.
Would you rather play Bama in NOLA or Oregon in LA? I'd be happy if I was a FSU fan.
Har har har. Enjoy the Cactus Bowl.

FSU fans must be getting at least a little uncomfortable now. Just imagine if we had a 2 team playoff this year. Undefeated FSU would definitely be left out.

Wont argue that on one, just finding the committees choices amusing and then their rationale for doing things.

Keep telling yourself that.
Be honest. How drunk will you get if Zona beats you for a third time in a row?
If they win they're in.
If they lose they deserve to be out.
They clearly haven't been one of the best teams this season, they've simply won a bunch of close games.
I don't even know what that is.
There are only two bowl games I care about - Rose and Vegas.
I'll have a bottle of 151 in my freezer ready to go by tomorrow fo sho.
I think the rankings are spot on.
Just to go the defending TCU route. They have two more quality wins then Baylor, and the best loss of all six with their loss at Baylor by 3 in a game where TCU got screwed.
I think in the end the top 4 should be clear, because there is a good chance 2 teams will lose next week. I still do not feel TCU is safe. 3 through 6 is super close, and if TCU has any trouble with Iowa State then I think two winning teams would jump them.

So this image on ESPN leaked BEFORE the rankings were released, even though before every rankings show the hosts tell the viewers "We're seeing these rankings the same time as you"
Maybe Jimbo should just accept that it is figure skating...or whatever analogy he used. bottom line, yeah squeaking by shit teams can hurt you

But losing doesn't apparently.
I get people don't like FSU and everything, but I can't even justify this. The committee has basically repeatedly said a quality loss is better than a close win. Just illogical.

So how good is GA Tech?

Good enough to give FSU a game.
Not good enough to merit their #11 CFP ranking, though.

Haha nice. To be fair I honestly do think this is Oregon's year. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong
Great at chop blocking.

I think they have a good shot . I know as a TCU fan, if we were to make the playoffs, the team I would like to play in the first round goes in this order
1. Florida State
2. Ohio State (because of the injury)
3. Baylor
4. It is a wash.

If Oregon beats Arizona, does that reduce the quality of their loss?

Cant wait for our 3 way QB competition next year between Heisman Favorites Miller/Barrett and playoff MVP Cardale Jones
Because they're a better team?
Slightly but that's countered by Oregon being able to say they "beat every team they played this year."
They still lost, FSU hasn't lost. FSU didn't schedule chumps OOC as well.
Eh...
Not their fault though.
We've been formidable for a few years now, they had good luck to catch us on a down season.
FSU hasn't played any team as good as the one TCU lost to, let alone beat one.

If Marshall was still undefeated, would they still be ranked below 4 loss teams this week?
If Fresno beats Boise, who gets their new years spot?

Yeah they are in if they win, no matter how bad it looks. And if they win I am certain they get the third seed.
Hey now, TCU should get credit for beating ISU this late in the season. Hard to do.

Probably their SOS is beyond pathetic.
I guess Marshall or Northern Illinois if they win their CChamp games.

Why do you do that to yourself?
Anyway, FSU is def in if they win, and tOSU needs style points over Wiscy to get in.
No but their conference is full of chumps and time after time they are having to pull a rabbit out of their hat to win. That Florida game was the worst game of football I can recall. It looked like both quarterbacks were trying to throw the game.

We played like 6 straight top 25 teams in a row. We cannot help it if we already played all our big games earlier in the season.

B1G Coach of the Year is the biggest fucking joke of an award ever.
An Ohio State coach hasn't won it in more than three decades. Brady Fucking Hoke has more B1G CoY awards than Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer combined.
Just rename it the "Most Improved Coach Award" because that's what it is.

Are you guys Urban's agents or something?
Ahhh man 151 is that shit, 3-4 shots to start the night and its all cruising after that.

Nah. It's just really goddamned irritating that an Ohio State coach hasn't won the award since 1979.
But seriously, congrats to Jerry Kill. I'm sure he totally won't end up being fired within four years like most B1G CoY winners are.
Ha I am actually a little woried about Iowa State. They seem to only exist in order to destroy peoples seasons.
Except what is it 4 time winner Kirk Faerentz?
