Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame and probably clemson but possibly Oklahoma or Ohio state

I suppose it can be "fun" if the arguments are good ones. I guess I need to be more open minded...things can change

LSU and Auburn as well, with Auburn and Miss St. on the road.
And it's not like other teams are stacked with quality wins...OSU has a one point miracle comeback against PSU and a beatdown from OU (both at home)
whoknew
Footballguy
In this scenario, Auburn would have at least 4 losses - 5 if they lose to A&M. And LSU would likely have 3.
I guess the point is - outside of ALA and UGA - the SEC just isn't very good this year. So it seems kind of weird to think they would get two teams in.
Having said that, it is Alabama. As @Capella said, it'd be really hard to deny them.
Prince Myshkin
Footballguy
Fair point, although in Auburn's defense, their losses would be a close one @ Clemson, @ LSU (never easy unless you are Troy
), #2 Georgia, and #1 AlabamaMiss St.'s losses would be @ #2 Georgia, @Auburn and #1 Alabama (Bama better be very, very careful going into Starkville).

Dude, I've been there. It's not a great place to raise a goat.The Mullens did not fit in with the Florida boosters. They know how it works in Gainesville and they won't be going back.
Plus I've never heard of Starville, but Starkville is a great town to raise a family in.

Broheim, I was born and raised in Texas, did a 4 year tour of duty at a college in Mississippi....we adapt. They make sunscreen for people like us!

Meyer isn't an insufferable assssss from the Northeast. He can at least pretend to be affable and nice. Chip is a gigantic **** of man. He makes Muschamp and Macelwain (sp?) look like the Smothers Brothers by comparison.

If Alabama treats Georgia like they do every other SEC school and wins with relative ease, the committee won't like that. If Georgia wins or loses in a close one, then I can see it.
The Bama/LSU rematch abortion should not be forgotten by anybody, let alone the committee. That game sucked out loud.

Who's No. 1 Tuesday night? Probably should be Georgia, but will it be?

Anyone know if there's a way to filter out quote/retweets from your Twitter timeline? I like Andy Staples a lot but instead of directly replying to people who ask him dumb stuff/fight with him (which wouldn't appear on everyone's TL), he quote/RTs it so everyone sees it. Bothers the hell out of me and he does it all the time.
Don't want to stop following him for his own writing/gratuitous food porn but something's gotta give.

Georgia Tech is probably going to finish 6-5 and K State is probably going to finish 6-6. And while a 9-3 NC State finish would look good on paper, that's really just a reflection that Florida State and Louisville suck this year.gump said:

Optimistic we can win in Charlottesville and Durham?
NC State is really good. It's not a reflection of anyone else.

This is great. I love how serious these boobs take themselves.

I won't even officiate a high school football game for the school my brother-in-law is an assistant coach at because I don't want any appearance of bias. To say someone who has a direct financial stake in something can "check their hat at the door" is so asinine it's ridiculous. This sounds like something that someone in Wall Street or Congress would say.

This and the lack of OOC games are why I think the playoff should expand to 8. That way all the conference champs get automatic bids. And you can guarantee a spot for the best Group of 5 team.

With the first rankings unveiled tonight, I guess it's a good time to unveil the "popular" "Dickie Dunn Rankings" for the first time in 2017.
What's posted below is a modification of the KRACH rankings that are popular in college hockey. Rather than just ranking based on a Win or a Loss, this system awards a "share" of a win-loss based on the score of the game. But for the most part, it rewards good defense, so a 10-7 win is not the same as a 45-42 win.
Each team's KRACH ranking also is listed in the right column, where you see the outliers for teams that still are unbeaten at this point in the season (UCF 2, Miami 3, etc.). But factoring in scores tends to even these out.
Georgia at No. 1 -- and just a tick above ND -- reinforces my belief that UGA will be No. 1 when the committee unveils its rankings tonight. Alabama's schedule just doesn't quite hold up at this point. Penn State still being ahead of Ohio State also is interesting, but again that could be SOS-driven, as well as accounting for a one-point loss to a strong team on the road.
As always, thoughts appreciated.

To be fair they do "recuse" themselves when teams they are directly tied to are being discussed. I just think the blank hats with their last name on them are friggin hilarious. You morons aren't curing cancer in there, you're just BSing about college football. We could pick five random fans from this thread and they'd be able to do just as good if not better of a job.

Agree on 8 but nobody is leaving out Georgia, Penn State, and Notre Dame as at-large participants to get Central Florida in there.

Let me go back through the thread and update all the times you've been wrong. This could take a while so please be patient.
Uruk-Hai

That won't make you any less wrong on that ridiculous statement. I've got no dog in this fight, but is there a more anonymous program in college football history than Mississippi State? Hell, the school I root for - sorry ### Maryland - has more tradition than Miss St. And you're comparing them to Florida?
Joe T
Footballguy
In 2017, yes.
I said, Mississippi State > Florida this year.
Which is not ridiculous. It's actually true.
Capella

ok. Let me know when you find one comment anybody made that is as bad as the Florida job is several levels below Mississippi State.

Ok.
Florida is a better job, but they might be the worst team in the SEC this year. They are really bad.
Uruk-Hai
Footballguy
You know this already, but college programs aren't viewed in a vacuum. You're not trying to sell the job to an alien, but a real, live human coach who has inhabited our universe. Maybe folks won't argue that MSU is better this year, but that's not how this works.
Capella
Footballguy
I didn't say they were the only 4. I listed the 4 teams with the best Vegas odds. Fsu was #3.
I was joking about the literacy thing but it may actually be true.
Joe T
Footballguy
Which thread? I can't find it now because you post too damn much.
But you actually did say, the national title is likely to come from one of these four teams. FSU is one of the ones you listed and they are now 2-5 for the record.
SHIZNITTTT

I can't think of a better place to coach than Florida. Great weather, beaches, hot women if you are into that sort of thing. You can't throw a rock in any direction without hitting a 5-star recruit. I would think guys would line up for that job. The downside is hot women if you are married.
Joe T
Footballguy
Skimming through this thread without taking any of it too seriously is another possibility. I didn't know there would be a pop quiz at the end.
Capella
Footballguy
You should post a lot less.
Speaking of being wrong, remember when you said LSU was as good of a job as FSU, then Jimbo turned down a bunch of money to go there, because it was clearly inferior? I guess that's one time I wish you were actually right.

I didn't say I went to the game. They were out in force in Portland after getting stomped. Sold my tickets to that game for $300
