Michigan St has a loss (Nebraska) and a half loss (Michigan). I am guessing the committee is not looking at the Michigan victory as a full victory.

Iowa being in top 4 is terrible. Who is their best two wins? They should have been 6th at best, knowing that if they won the Big Ten, they would sneak in.

@#16 Northwestern 40-10 and @Wisconsin. Their worst loss is pretty good too.

That would be really stupid if they didn't. It was a play that happened on the field during the game. Michigan State dominated the game outside of special teams coincidentally. Twice as many first downs. Way more yards. If anything, they should give them a full win against Michigan and a half loss against Nebraska since it was largely decided by a misapplied or terrible ruling on a review procedure that picked up the flag that was thrown.

Who has Alabama beat? Iowa has a better win than anyone in the SEC not named Ole Miss.

LSU being ranked at any point this year was terrible; achieving a number two ranking on the strength of their wildly overrated schedule was indictment upon the entire system.

Iowa beat the same types of shitty teams that exist in the SEC West. Scroll back to page three for the breakdown.

Iowa played more Power Fives OOC than anyone in that fraud of a conference, which boasts a garbage Florida team that needed OT to take down a 2 win FAU team in week 12, as a division champ.

ND is beat to shite (2nd string QB, 2nd string RB, and 2nd string WR)
and barely got by Boston College.

last week counted. ND is not playing the same people who lost to Clem on a 2 point conversion.
After Stanford beats ND by 10 points, you can post a retraction.

In fact you are wrong. Kizer has played since since the UVA game. Prosise played most of the BC game, and would be back for the playoffs. He is actually the back up but has been starting since week 1 when Folston went down. Josh Adams is solid and already has a couple 100 yard games. No receiver is hurt, so goes to show how little you know. Russel is the only big player loss since Clemson and that happened in the late 4th quarter against BC. Don't comment about stuff you don't know.

Yup. In MSU's wins over OSU and UM they outgained Urban/Harbaugh in total yardage 680-362, had more first downs with 37-15, and bested both teams safely in yards/play.

Congrats on kicking the shite out of a demoralized team that lost four of its last five games and blew a 17 point fourth quarter lead in five minutes the last week of the season. You should be proud.

Where is Tennessee ranked this year? I am surprised they did not vault into the top fifteen after hanging 24 on North Texas a few weeks ago.

When are you going to take us through rationale behind these SOS formulas that get you so hard?

I can believe that you were demoralized. How do you explain the lack of speed and talent?

Tennessee isn't good this year like Tennessee wasn't good last year. But you don't have to be good to beat Iowa. You just have to have some speed and talent, which is something none of your opponents so far have had in any meaningful quantities.

Has Tennessee ever been good after firing PF? Lane Kiffin had all sorts of speed, he did a ton with it.

Iowa is 3-3 against the SEC in bowl games during this HC's era. All played in SEC country. They have also put a frickton of players in the NFL. Ten of the eleven starters on the 2009 defense played in the NFL. That team won the Orange Bowl, a more significant accomplishment than anything UT has done in over fifteen years.

Lack of speed is killing Iowa.

And yet, that team had, at most, one impressive win. Congrats, on almost beating OSU for the Rose Bowl.

Lol. You mean the game where Iowa's backup redshirt freshman QB made his first start and Iowa took the game to overtime on the road in a defacto big ten title game?

Again, a more significant accomplishment than anything UT has done in the past fifteen years.

You homers are comical.

I'm not a homer. I don't think of much of Tennessee this season or Butch Jones. I'm just not interested when someone beats a bunch of bad teams and asks for respect.

By that definition, you must not think Alabama is very deserving of respect this year.

They almost lost to your shitty team. Probably should have.

There's a difference between almost losing, losing, and getting your shite pushed in by a .500 team. Don't get me wrong, teams come out flat in bowls all the time. But there's a difference between coming out flat and not having good enough players.
