We're definitely better, but we play old school Big Ten football. Purdue gave us lots of trouble swinging the ball to the sidelines. We're going to run into trouble with anybody we can't bully, or with a legit passing game.

Still feels good to have 6 wins already at this time of year though.

For sure. I am thinking Minnesota will give us the hardest game of our last 5 games of the season. They took it to us last year

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Do you actually watch him play?

Yes.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Glad to see ND still in the top 10, will have to be some major upsets to get to the playoffs though.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

With Kent and Idaho winning their first games this season, SMU remains the final winless team in the fbs.

 

[KingGondo]

We should not be receiving votes.

Yeah. As if we needed more evidence that polls are stupid.

Funny - earlier I was going to post that MSU should be at 8 and Auburn/Oregon/ND should all bump up by one spot each. Looks like the AP poll got it right.

 

[AntoneM]

wow, 5/6 of the Pac 12 South is ranked in the AP.

 

[theprodigy]

wow, 5/6 of the Pac 12 South is ranked in the AP.

Pac 12 has as many ranked teams as SEC

Spoiler

lol

 

[squicken]

wrong thrad

 

[Piggus]

Yes.

So what makes you think he's just all hype?

 

[Xplatformer]

Gophers are legit. They should be higher

San Jose State Spartan fan agrees with this.

Not really. 4 teams above the Irish are SECW. At least 2 will be knocked out, and then it basically turns into a beauty contest to pick from Oregon, Sparty, and Notre Dame.

All of CFB history says Notre Dame wins that contest.

Oregon still has Stanford to play and they can't beat them ever.

Also we have no idea what the selection committee is going to do.

 

[BertramCooper]

Browns are dead.

Buckeyes are not.

I'M BACK, CFB-GAF!

Jaguars are the best team in football now. Don't be embarrassed.

 

[Tamanon]

ECU is the best football team in North Carolina!

 

[KingGondo]

Browns are dead.

I'M BACK, CFB-GAF!

My god. It's like the Browns are an elaborate practical joke on the entire fanbase.

What the fuck happened today?

 

[Yaboosh]

I assume you are counting the Panthers.

 

[BertramCooper]

Losing Alex Mack more than anything, I think.

It's always something like that that ends up derailing the season. Without fail.

 

[bucknuticus]

Lol these polls


Also Msu is favored by more this week vs Michigan than they were vs Indiana loooool

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I assume you are counting the Panthers.

Going to casually sweep that game today under the rug and never talk about it.

 

[Tamanon]

I assume you are counting the Panthers.

Absolutely.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

It's always a good day when the Panthers get demolished.

 

[jakncoke]

Very much so.

Yeah but Oregon vs. SEC would get them ratings. Plus ND can't be a conference champ. And won't have as impressive a win as Mich St. but also not as bad a loss so hm.

Oregon still has Stanford to play and they can't beat them ever.

Stanford's awful this year though.

Compared to Notre Dame, nobody cares about Highlighter U. If it's about interest, then pencil the Irish into the playoffs right now.

Purdue's offense is much improved and getting better. They're no scrubs

I think you're better than Wisconsin and you get Ohio State at home...who knows.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Depends on how many AP voters are on the committee.

Lol these polls

Just one more cupcake before the main course.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Something about Yahoo and a new thread.

I assume someone is still thinking about how many times to mention Driskel in the thread title.

I have to say i'mreally impressed with Meyer, I wish we could wipe that vtech game off, because your meyer/Herman could outacheme anybody.

Haha. You really think if Mariota wins the Heisman (likely as long as we win out and he stays healthy) that they'd take ND instead? Everyone knows it will be another boring shitshow just like when they played Alabama. You had Herbstreit saying, "sorry, we can't get Oregon here in time for the the second half" during that pathetic BS. A lot of people want Oregon in, and it shows in the projections by the press.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That's absolutely what I'm saying. If there's one slot open and the choice is between Notre Dame and Oregon, Notre Dame is in, every single time.

 

[Lonestar]

For whoever does the next topic. AP Top 5 in Google Maps format.

PS, I can wave at the people going by in Birmingham.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I want to try my hand at a thread title, but not an actual thread.

Week 9 | Driskel Driskel Driskel, With Driskel Gatas Play

 

[chicko1983]

That's absolutely what I'm saying. If there's one slot open and the choice is between Notre Dame and Oregon, Notre Dame is in, every single time.

I agree, ND making the first playoff is what the broadcasters want.

Bama - Best team of the current era
FSU - Defending Champion
Miss State / Ole Miss - The Underdog fairytale - whoever wins the Egg Bowl is in
ND - Most successful team currently in div 1.

 

[theprodigy]

Oregon still has Stanford to play and they can't beat them ever.

That was back when Stanford was actually good though.

 

[Yaboosh]

That was back when Stanford was actually good though.

That just means they have the element of surprise now.

 

[truly101]

Some bowl projections have Duke either playing Balyor or Bama if they win the rest of the games they are favored in.


I say

And the UNC fans had their chests puffed out today, 3-4 and they are going ALL THE WAY! Please UVA, help put an end to this

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

I guess I could give the thread a shot if no one else has anything sweet planned.
