Who cares what it is tonight.

Tonight will start giving you some insight to how they're thinking about some teams' wins, schedule, etc., so it is not without value

I don't know why you kids keep making a big deal out of it.

Go back to bed old man...

1. Ohio State
2. Clemson
3. LSU
4. TCU

I get the feeling they won't drop OSU until they lose.

Clemson

This guy seems to be way smarter than everyone else. I mean look how what everyone else says is so stupid compared to what he says.

quote:

1. OSU
2. Clemson
3. LSU
4. Baylor

This is what I am thinking as well

quote:

---

Doesn't matter. LSU will be #1 if we win Saturday and stay at #1 unless a L occurs.

This!

Tonight:

(1) OSU
(2) Clemson
(3) TCU
(4) LSU

If that's their reasoning for ranking Ohio State number one then I lose all faith in the committee.

Not to be a Debbie Downer...but who in their right mind ever thought a committee was a good idea for this system?

Seriously...we talk about having to "win it on the field" and then have literally no mathematical way to determine which teams win their way into the playoff.

We're stuck with an "eyeball test" that once again forces humans to judge programs which have almost certainly not played each other or in most cases even played the same opposition as to which ones are the best four.

Choosing teams by committee can work when the field is large enough...like baseball or basketball...even a fricking committee will end up choosing the team which will eventually win it all. But when you limit it to just four, eyeball teats have absolutely no place. Multiple teams left out because they don't pass the eyeball test COULD win it in a playoff... You just can;t have a playoff of four teams AND a committee. Makes no sense.

In short, this entire thing needs to be dropped for an NFL style system where conferences (until we drop those too) place teams into the playoff based on wins/losses and NOT on which ones SEEM to be the best.

Sorry to hi-jack...this whole thing chaps my arse! haha

Oh...

1- tOSU
2- Clemson
3- LSU
4- Baylor

1. OSU 2. Clemson 3. LSU 4. Baylor
LSU won't be #1

OSU wont be #1 either. Are you kidding me?

You know the committee looks at only the resume of the schedule to-date, right?

Their best win is against PSU... They wont be #1.

#1 LSU (the debate right now between Clemson and us is who is better, Notre Dame or Florida, I think Florida)
#2 Clemson
#3 Baylor (they have blown everyone out, they could almost be #1)
#4 Michigan State (I know they had to win it on a muffed punt, but their biggest win is better than Ohio State's, who has struggled vs. many teams
#5 Ohio State (no real impressive win yet)
#6 TCU (No impressive win yet, but no loss)
#7 Florida (Only loss #1 LSU, they have beat everyone else on their schedule, and pretty handily the only two wins that weren't impressive were Kentucky and Tennesse, but they are an entirely different team since then. )
#8 Bama (the loss to Ole Miss is looking worse and worse as each week goes by, that's not an exactly good loss, also two close wins against teams they should have handled well, if they beat LSU they will be in contention for a top 4 seed, There will not be more than 4 unbeaten at the end of the season, if Bama wins there will be no more than 3, so they are the top 1 loss team if they win out)
#9 Notre Dame (only loss #2 Clemson Bellow Florida and Bama well because they are SEC)
#10 Iowa (sleeper playoff team but they haven't beaten anyone yet)
#11 Utah (They need a lot of help to get in, the pac 12 may be left out)
#12 Oklahoma (if they beat TCU and Baylor in back to back weeks they will be the best 1 loss team behind a 1 loss SEC team.)
#13 Florida State (if they beat Clemson they have a chance, just not optimistic of that chance right now.)
#14 Memphis (if they win out they may get in the conversation, but they would need ALOT to happen for them to make it, basically either all 1 loss teams in the top 4, or maybe only 2 1 loss teams, and Memphis unbeaten.)

Bellow 14 the only three teams who have an outside chance is Houston (same situation as Memphis) Toledo (they may have no losses but their conference isn't that good) and North Carolina (if they upset Clemson in the ACC title, they may sneak in, especially if Clemson is #1 going in.)

One other thing, an interesting thing to watch is Memphis and
My predictions for the end of the season

I'm not going to call the LSU Bama game, the winner of that assuming they don't get upset is in. (Florida will also have a chance to get in over both if they beat either LSU or Bama in the SEC championship.)

IF LSU wins
#1 LSU
#2 Clemson
#3 Baylor/ TCU (I'll go with TCU)
#4 Michigian STate/Ohio STate (I'll go with Michigian State.)

IF Bama wins
#1 Clemson
#2 Baylor/TCU
#3 Micigian State/Ohio State
#4 Bama.

Unbeatens will get an advantage in ranking.

do it like basketball don't release anything till the tourney is announced, let ESPN people debate what is going to happen.
