I think every great once in a while (like once a decade) a 12 might knock off a 5 and a Cinderella emerges, but this ain't basketball where one dude can make such a HUGE difference on the court. And football keeps getting tilted more and more to the heavyweights.  

I don't know man. I think it might happen more often than you think. 

Boise St. almost beat Oregon on the road earlier this season and that's basically what the 5/12 is going to look like most seasons.

One thing I will be interested in is how fanbases deal with CFP travel.  Nevermind the first round which would have the higher seeded teams playing at home (which is still travel for some of their fans....but at least probably travel they are used to) I saw a projection today that could have us in the Fiesta Bowl out in Glendale, then the next week in the Orange Bowl in Miami and then if those are both won, the NC Game in Atlanta.    LOL at the idea of following that around.  Now Texas and some others are big enough schools with deep enough fanbases to probably make each game work, but a lot of schools are not going to be. 

There are plenty of people, myself included in the past that travel more than that regularly. I'm not saying it is a cake walk but its not particularly taxing. For 10 years I lived in Chicago and missed 1 home game the entire time, AND traveled for work weekly.

For once, I’ll agree that aggy has legitimate beef with the polls. They should be in the AP Poll’s top 25. 2 SEC wins, competitive loss to Notre Dame, and ranked 21st in the Coaches.

 

Nah they’re ranked right where they should be. They’ll get plenty of chances to move up in the coming weeks.

So, in your example of it happening more often than he thinks... it didnt?

Oh wow, 2 SEC wins how amazing!!!

Jesus fuck the speed with which some of you started spouting this SEC homerism bullshit is nauseating.

[markstanco 12,652]

Didn't see that coming from the coaches poll.

I’m sure the coaches watched both games before voting.

I don’t like or trust KB’s opinion, he goes way too far out of his way to try not to look like a Texas homer doing stupid ass shit like voting Reggie Bush #1 on his Heisman ballot after watching Vince mother fucking Young in person absolutely dominate all year.

But credit where credit is due, he voted Texas #1 in the last two weeks and now has us at #2. With the 12 team playoff, and the SEC not using dumbass polls to determine its championship participants (fuck you forever Big12) isn’t all that important and is a position that can be easily defended.

[ztejas 43,741]

Ryen Russillo does a top 12 every week and kept us 1. Bama 2. Dropped UGA to 8. 

Also Matt Leinart last week said he could probably get Russillo a Heisman vote. Need to get him an AP vote, too. He's had an NBA end-of-season vote for a few years now.

Future SEC games featuring current SEC teams with no conf losses:

• Oct 5: Missou at Texas A&M
• Oct 19: Alabama at Tenn
• Oct 26: Missou at Alabama
• Oct 26: LSU at Texas A&M
• Nov 9: Alabama at LSU
• Nov 30: Texas at Texas A&M

If Texas and Alabama win out, they're the only two with no conf losses.

Alabama and Texas A&M control their own destiny.

It's possible for Texas, LSU, Tenn, and Missou to have no conf losses going into the SEC championship.

It's the opposite.  There are 20 undefeated teams right now. 

And a lot of 1-loss teams have better or equitable arguments: UGA, UM, OU, Notre Dame, USCe, LSU, USCw, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Wazzou, Boise St, Nebraska, Colorado, Clemson, Boston College.

They are co-25th right now because they are getting a lot of benefit of the doubt.

Oregon/georgia/penn st/bama? 

[Huckleberry 33,517]

Ohio State @ Oregon real quickly became an even bigger game next week. That should be #2 @ #3.

Then if we take care of business versus Oklahoma the game against Georgia will be #3 @ #1.

[Drew 2,658]

OU/Jawja/Vandy in Nashville.  Take care of those now and get well be petty tested too.

Gameday stays in the pacific time zone next week.

Coming to our citaaaayyy on the 19th.

 3 times in the regular season for the #1 teams feels about right

Nah, Oregon still undefeated, should be 3. Georgia will take that spot when one of them loses next weekend.

Oregon was ranked behind Georgia this week. Not sure either of their wins would mean enough to jump Oregon over Georgia.

9. LSU
10. Notre Dame
 

I want to hear the mental gymnastics when they explain why Bama gets dropped below Georgia who they beat just last week. If you say Bama isn't as good as everyone thought, then Georgia isn't that good either. Both with 1 loss with a H2H match up that already took place. I'd drop Bama, but I'd also drop Georgia despite their win this week.

1. Texas
2. Ohio St
3. Oregon
4. Penn St
5. Alabama
6. Georgia
7-25. Who cares?

If I were going to make the argument, I’d say that Alabama won at home and based on that game and the Vanderbilt one, UGA is a better team at a neutral site.

Georgia has moved into that Bama spot where their "talent" outweighs any onfield shortcomings your lying eyes think you see.  They would have won the playoff last year, obviously!

[Pato del Muerto 52,853]

Been an interesting 2 weeks for Miami. I’m sure they’ll be rewarded for still being undefeated.
