How can you put them in the 20's? Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma(teams in front of them) all lost as well as Ole Miss, ND, and Oregon... 7 ranked teams lost yesterday, so it's really hard to drop any team that actually won.LMAO, they'll be in the 20s for sure.
Gameday is at UF/UT next week.
Looks like some guys got a little too excited on the game winning TD for UGA. If you look at the timeline, the trip ended with stitches at the ER.

Because they almost gave up 21 points to Ohio and it was a close game until late in the 4th..How can you put them in the 20's?

Same point for those wondering why Wisconsin stayed put.
I can't believe you're downplaying a win over an Ohio State University. Give Tennessee some credit.Because they almost gave up 21 points to Ohio and it was a close game until late in the 4th..
I can only assume all the people putting Bama at 1 have not watched Bama play outside the USC game. Offense was terrible against an overwhelmed WKU team and both sides of the ball looked bad against an Ole Miss team that will do well to win 8 games. Going to require some serious soul searching if they want to win the division, let alone get in the playoff.
1. OSU
2. Louisville
3. Michigan

Or something, I dunno.

My point is when you so many teams around you lose(6) it's impossible for you not to rise, there's just no one to put ahead of TenneseeBecause they almost gave up 21 points to Ohio and it was a close game until late in the 4th..
Just because they won doesn't mean they get to rise in the rankings either.
I don't agree with that thought process , it doesn't makes sense at all to me.I think they should drop to 3 or 4 but I doubt they actually will
Also people need to stop riding Houstob's dick.... they have one notable win, and that win is against a (now) unranked OU team

Who is going to beat Bama in the West or hell the East. Ole Miss is out two games they're done, LSU doesn't have a QB, A&M is A&M, Florida just lost their QB, Georgia I dunno haven't watched them. SEC isn't that hard to win for them honestly.
BTN was already going to Wisconsin-MSU so ESPN didn't get their first choiceLOL I thought they were suppose to go see good teams play?
Haven't you heard? Tennessee is on the come up.LOL I thought they were suppose to go see good teams play?
LOL I thought they were suppose to go see good teams play?
Oh I don't disagree with that, I just don't see anyone in the SEC capable of beating them after the Ole Miss game, TAMU has a chance, but the rest of their schedule has looked bad as wellBama is only marginally a top ten team, and then only because all of the other candidates choked.
Honestly, look at who they've played. 3 wins over teams who are a combined 4-5? And they looked bad against a team that lost to FSU? Please.
I mean considering where we were like 4 years ago that is true.Haven't you heard? Tennessee is on the come up.
Based on the three games so far, I'd definitely pencil in LSU as a loss and maybe TAMU. Arkansas isn't outside the realm of possibility either with the way this team has looked, and how Arkansas has actually looked decent.
LSU having to throw the ball to win means an automatic loss.
If that's the case, a lot of teams have been on the come up.I mean considering where we were like 4 years ago that is true.
I'm going to assume he was pretty drunk. Stupid decision, obviously. That's why it's funny.I could *maybe* understand if it was the national championship or the sec championship, but a game against a nonranked mizzou?
I think they should drop to 3 or 4 but I doubt they actually will
Also people need to stop riding Houston's dick.... they have one notable win, and that win is against a (now) unranked OU team
And before people bring up my team, well Michigan has to prove that they belong with 3 games against top 10 teams coming up, plus a difficult Iowa team. Houston has one tough game on the schedule. Plus they almost lost to freaking Cincinatti

So the Big 12 is pretty much eliminated from the playoffs now right? I mean WVU and Baylor are the only two undefeated teams left there, and TCU is now unranked with a loss. I'm a huge WVU fan but...yeah lol.
They're on the wait list. Houston/Louisville could play a knockout game (though Louisville might be able to absorb the loss), PAC-12 winner could have two losses, same with B1G. They're out for now, but not forever.So the Big 12 is pretty much eliminated from the playoffs now right?

I'd say even a 2-loss Big Ten champ is almost guaranteed a spotThey're on the wait list. Houston/Louisville could play a knockout game (though Louisville might be able to absorb the loss), PAC-12 winner could have two losses, same with B1G. They're out for now, but not forever.
Depends on the team and who the losses are to. 2 loss champ from the west isn't getting in, no matter who they are.I'd say even a 2-loss Big Ten champ is almost guaranteed a spot
Wisconsin gets in as a 2-loss Big Ten champ, but they are probably a 4 loss teamDepends on the team and who the losses are to. 2 loss champ from the west isn't getting in, no matter who they are.
If Houston is healthy, that's gonna be a hell of a game.It's either Houston or Louisville. They play each other and whoever wins will be in based on what we've seen thus far.
Given their schedule the starters should be getting plenty of rest before that game.If Houston is healthy, that's gonna be a hell of a game.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, it's not CFB-GAF's opinion that matters, but the committee's (and as a proxy pollsters). They are still the ones that catapult an unproven Texas up to #11 because of a pre-season ranking on Notre Dame, neither of which had much basis in fact. Houston and the other G5 teams well not get that same favorability should there be any trip ups.These are not shitty teams, as much as some of you would like to think. The difference between the better AAC teams and most of the P5 stock (save for the blue bloods) is not as big as you think it is.

Your schedule hss been only marginally better than Michigan's, so I wouldn't really be throwing stones.Houston has played a tougher schedule than Michigan so far
Yeah, of course Gameday is in Knoxville. Whole thing blows, now that we've lost Del Rio.
Appleby's Heisman campaign will have begun once 12 straight is in the books, don't you worry.Yeah, of course Gameday is in Knoxville. Whole thing blows, now that we've lost Del Rio.
Compare 1 ranked team, with 3 top ten teams on Michigan's schedule, plus Colorado is most definitely better than Cincinatti, plus @Iowa and if we make it, the B1G CCG. That's 4-5 ranked teams on the scheduleCincinnati is a hell of a better team than whoever Michigan has played thus far, that's for sure.
If people actually analyzed Houston's schedule you would see that besides Louisville we still have to play Memphis and Navy away, two teams that were ranked last year and could potentially climb up the rankings this year as well. Plus Houston would have to face in a potential conference championship USF or ECU, more than capable teams that have already beaten P5 teams this year.
These are not shitty teams, as much as some of you would like to think. The difference between the better AAC teams and most of the P5 stock (save for the blue bloods) is not as big as you think it is.
Arkansas could give them a tough game. Maybe.LMAO. Please tell GAF who these teams in the almighty SECW are that will give Bama L's.
Bert can't beat Bama. Period. The only team in that division that could possibly beat them is A&MArkansas could give them a tough game. Maybe.
Arkansas hasn't beaten them since Saban has been there. It would take a miracle.Arkansas could give them a tough game. Maybe.
The good news is that Tenn has been just about the least impressive ranked team and our defense has started to look a lot more confident.
QB woes for days, weeks, years.
Probably worse than Del Rio is the fact that we lost Ivey for half the next game as well, for throwing a punch after the whole Del Rio hit. The O-Line wasn't great to begin with, but now we're down multiple starters. To be fair, Tennessee also lost some key starters yesterday.
I'd say we could win through our defense, but they get a surprisingly low amount of turnovers.

I didn't say it was likely, just looking at the schedule I don't see many threats.Arkansas hasn't beaten them since Saban has been there. It would take a miracle.
