Happy to see FSU still in the top 20.
It's true. The only way Alabama beats Iowa State is BULL SHIT OFFICIATING. MY ASS IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE UPRIGHT
As I see it there are now 5 buckets for four playoff spots
If at least one team from each bucket wins out, who gets in the Playoff?
e.g. Undefeated Ohio State or Undefeated Iowa + Undefeated Clemson + Undefeated Baylor or Oklahoma State + One Loss Alabama + One Loss Stanford or Notre Dame.
Another way to look at it, is who needs the most help?
Edit: Or, who gets left out: 1-loss Alabama or 1-loss Stanford/Notre Dame? Should I add Utah to this list?
- OHST/Iowa
- Clemson
- Baylor/OKST
- Alabama
- Stanford/Notre Dame

Depending how the conference CCGs go, I'll say Baylor/Okie St. need the most help (again).
Clemson the new AP #1. Michigan State didn't fall as far as I thought they would.

So the Pac 12 has 6 bowl eligible teams after this past week, with 2 more 1 win away and 1 eliminated and another almost eliminated.
Right now the bowl picture for the Pac-12 looks something like this:
1. Stanford Rose Bowl (or CFP)
2. Utah Alamo Bowl
3. UCLA Holiday Bowl
4. WSU/USC (not sure on the tie break) Foster Farms Bowl
5. WSU/USC Sun Bowl
6. Oregon Las Vegas Bowl (Actually Oregon and USC are tied as well so yeah)
7. N/A Cactus Bowl
Cal and Arizona can both get bowl eligible with 1 more win. Oregon State can not make a bowl.
UW needs to win 2 of its final 3, they have ASU, Oregon State and Washington State.
ASU needs to win 2 of its final 3, they have UW, Arizona and Cal (why do they play Cal after Arizona?).

Yeah...what happens if Notre Dame and Utah both finish with 1 loss...

Woot!
Because The Game (Cal-Stanford) is usually the week before thanksgiving, allowing Thanksgiving Week an open slot for Cal (Stanford plays Notre Dame Thanksgiving weekend every other year).

So according to an alert I just got from Yahoo Sports, the BYU vs Mizzou game is now in question.
Probably rooting for okie state to win out at the moment.
If only the ghost of Mack brown past hadn't slain us this year I'd say ou would be in good position to get a playoff spot, but sadly I think that would be mutually assured destruction this year because if the b12 misses the playoffs again it's going to seriously dampen the conference, and I don't think a 1 loss big 12 team makes it over anyone but someone out of the pac12. Man, come now longhorn fans...was the longhorn network really worth all this shit? Really?
I would have liked us to join the b1g back when all that shit was going down, but alas. We've made our bed and have to lie in it for now. Sigh...although ou getting okie state back for 2001 would be lovely >

Fork 'em, Sparky!
Mizzou players just don't want to get embarrassed by BYU and their freshman QB.
Some Pac-12 rivalry games get shuffled a little to account for the fact that either USC or Stanford plays Notre Dame at the end of November every year.
Stanford is playing ND in rivalry week this year so they play Cal the week before. Consequently, Cal has to play someone on the 28th, et cetera et cetera.

Crazy. Is Clemson finally going to pull it off and win a NC? If you had told me that goofy fuck Dabo would win a title, especially in a playoff system, I'd have told you you're nuts, but that's a very good team.

Right now... I don't think they'd lose to anyone right now and that includes my buckeyes
. They could have rolled over after that fucked up beginning like they have historically. But they didn't and looked calm and collected and came back and won.I'll believe it when I see it.

He has to out coach non ACC first.
Did you have your pinky in the air while typing this?
He has done so a multitude of times in the past few seasons.

Nonsense. Ohio State, LSU, and Oklahoma didn't want to be there and let us win those games.

The AP poll this would could be a nice little exposé on groupthink. (And this time not with the SEC! Bonus!)
Last week, Clemson was 3rd with 6 first place votes. This week? 1st, with 31 first place votes. The teams in front of them didn't lose, and didn't necessarily look bad. Clemson won, but wasn't particularly dominant in doing so. It seems like the largest contributor to the new reality is the CFP ranking released last week that had Clemson #1.
Groupthink? Maybe, maybe not. Clemson has probably looked just as good as anybody so far. But that's a lot of votes to gain in a week of what were really status quo finishes.

The AP Poll voters clearly visited r/cfb this week /s
I was thinking the same thing. As much as we make fun of SECSECSEC, there were quite a few "Good job for beating us Clemson, now go win the shit!" comments after the game.
The SECSECSEC thing is a disease that once they started it pretty much every other conference caught some degree of it
I have nothing against rooting for some teams to win it all after they beat us but I will die before I root for Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, or Michigan to win it all in most cases. There is a caveat to this though. if they are playing against an SEC team or Notre Dame than I at least won't root against them, still wont root for them either but I have a preference on which team I would want to win. If perceived conference strength didn't matter as much as it does nowadays I would be loath to root for those other B1G teams but it's not helpful if they lose OOC.There's also the fact that I want Michigan to be unbeaten on a yearly basis until our game where we can then crush their dreams like they did so many times to us in the 90's

I've never disliked Clemson, so yeah, I'm hoping they win it all. I'd pull for any ACC team not named North Carolina or Miami to do the same thing.

Agreed, I hate them all.
TCU is kind of okay tho, I have a lot of respect for Patterson.
