Gators drop to 11.  Which given the Gophers win and record I understand.   Just can't remember a season were we won and dropped in the polls 3 different times.  Maybe I just wasn't paying attention.  Ithoughtwetheyweresecsec.gif

Most projections have changed to us heading to the Camping World Bowl in Orlan_o, Flori_a

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

without looking, I'd guess Ohio State is the only team with two 40-point wins over opponents ranked in the Top 25 this season / the only one with three 30-point wins over same

[Pato del Muerto 53331]

Really punished Alabama for its home loss

[Funk Doctor Spock 13121]

Gophers at 7 is magical. When tOSU beats them by 50 I hope they only drop to #10.

Looking at teams ranked around us, I would like to see bowl game against SMU.  No d, all day, except Dicker could set a bowl record for most onside kicks in a game.  1400 yards plus offense.

[TXSooner518 2455]

I’ll bet anyone who wants it that Bama doesn’t go over a 0 or 1 loss champion from any P5 league other than a 1 loss ACC champ.

Also Indiana over KSU and OSU is dreck. Indiana has 0 top 50 wins. ZERO. They have a 40+ point loss and also lost while giving up 40 to a bad 4-5 Sparty team.

They’ll be the best 5-loss team after LSU and Gawja. It just means and costs more.

[El Diablo 4232]

No way is Baylor the 10th or 12th best team in the country but I guess that's the treatment you get when you're undefeated this far into the season. They've had 4 squeaker wins over other middle of the pack teams in this conference. I'd put them around #17 maybe, I think the teams ranked 16 and above currently would all most likely beat them. After that it gets into coin tosses imho.

Baylor is the worst undefeated team in America.  Fuck em.

unless they lose to Auburn, it's a certainty - with the other exception of GA beating LSU. But GA just lost 3 starting OL in their last win  so i can't see it.

Weird but Alabama has only beaten one bowl eligible team...A&M

Auburn would make two if they beat them 

[orangecat92 306]

If bama has a chance I look for them to run up the score against Auburn.   Must feel strange for them, looking like they might be rated 5th come Tuesday.

They only use the conference champion rule when it’s a team not named Alabama. When it’s Bama they typically use the eye test. It’s the only way ESPN.... I mean the committee can be fair.

I offered a wager. They’ve never done it before and I don’t think they will do it now.

1 loss OU gets in over 1 loss LSU or Alabama. Conference championships are not going to stop mattering to the committee at the expense of a program like Oklahoma.

Lulz, so wrong. The big12 isn't a good conference so the title is meaningless.

Pretty funny you got immediately problem wrong in the rankings too.

LOL No fucking way Baylor should be over #20 if even that.  They have beaten nobody.  SMU should be higher than baylor, they would beat them handily.

I don’t think we’re going to find out about ou, because they will lose a game, maybe to the mullet man.

Take a look around the conference. Who has ANYONE beaten? I don't follow SMU, who did they beat?

LSU exposed them for what they are, and that's why they won't get into the playoffs.

Plus, if you're Saban, no way you lobby for it, because if you get your shit pushed in again during the first round, well, that's not a very good look heading into the off-season and recruiting.     Better just to let everybody crow about how you're the best 1-loss team in the nation, and the pre-season polls will reward you with #1 or #2.

If Baylor goes 13 and 0, they’re not playing bama, cuz that record would put Baylor at the number 4 slot and they would play either LSU  or OSU.

yes, i meant they knock Bama out of the playoffs.  OU is really weak right now and anything can happen with UT. This scenario is not impossible.

Baylor's gonna lose to OU and Texas so it don't make a shit

Baylor has wins over two ranked opponents in KSU and OSU, the latter on the road, in games that were less competitive than when Texas played them. Baylor beat a decent to good ISU team. Baylor beat TCU on the road, the same TCU team that recently beat Texas decisively.

Baylor's not playing well offensively right now but they've got more wins over teams with winning records and wins over ranked teams than Alabama does. Their defense is probably the best in the B12. I agree - fuck Baylor - but they've earned the right to be ranked. They find ways to win. We'll know for sure about them after this week.

They’re gonna have to roofie Bama for that to happen. That being said....

[orangecat92 306]

Ok.cool.  Here is a fun scenario.  Minnesota goes 13 and 0, beating OSU in big 10 title game by less than a td, putting both big 10 teams in the four, along with the two unbeaten, Clemson and LSU.  Let’s see the sec apologists go crazy then.

If they go 13-0, they get in, which means they ain't playing Bama.  But they ain't going to the playoffs, because Texas and OU will beat their asses.

But if a 2-loss Baylor gets a bowl game against Bama, I would laugh at the aggy tears should Bama lose.  I would also laugh at the Baylor tears should they lose.  It's a win-win either way for us.

Back to SMU, what gives? Who did they beat that Baylor would not? Maybe we need to invite those teams to the Big XII.
