Well, damn. You scared me. Yeah, #9 is a bit high. They're just setting Campbell up to take over at Michigan.

Sorry. Was posting in the moment. ISU squeaks one out against a mediocre Texas and they jump into the top 10.

They commented on SMU loss to ECU hurts our strength of record. I completely agree with that. Damn SMU.

Any other team with osu's resume wouldn't be in the top 10. 4 freaking wins. Only 1 against a remotely competent team.

Clemson, Alabama, Notes Dame, Oklahoma, and any other SEC school would be in the Top 10 with 4-0 record.

All this did was ensure two SEC teams get in if Ohio State dumps or ND somehow beats Clemson...we're not getting in boys. Let's hope we don't end up with a 3-loss team or BYU in a NY6 bowl.

With TAMU making up ground with a terrible performance, we will need ND to beat Clemson, OSU to be dropped, AND TAMU to lose in order to make it, not one or two of those things like we originally thought.

Having TAMU's AD on the committee is laughable.

Do people forget they lost to a SBC school earlier this year?

Notre Dame clinched a spot today in the ACC Championship game today without even playing. That is due to the ACC fixing the schedule to pretty much assure ND vs Clemson round 2. Corrupt good ole boys at it again!

Some of the guys (herbie and palmer) have been looking for ammo against us for weeks. Looks like they got their wish. Could be key at the final ranking, which is pretty much all that matters.

That loss is technically a t25 loss now which isn't nearly as ugly. Still should be outside the top 10, but imo the gap between 7 and 8 is pretty big. I think we finish the year at 5 or 6 if we win out. Going to need a lot of help for 4

Quality losses man, come on now.

TAMU barely beat 0-8 Vandy at home and got steam rolled by Alabama but they're going to get another shot to play them if anyone slips up . Theyve beaten one team by 2 or more TDs, 2-7 South Carolina immediately after their coach was fired. Such an impressive resume.

Honestly it was encouraging to me. I'd rather oklahoma be further back.

I'm confident OSU gets in if they are undefeated, regardless of record. We need A&M loss (I don't think we jump them if not), ND to beat Clemson again, and Bama to beat Florida. Not impossible, but improbable.

Yea, Iowa State and Georgia both seem high to me. I guess there isn’t a lot of traditional options behind UC, but no reason to have 2 loss teams who haven’t been particularly impressive even in all the wins ahead of 1 loss teams IMO.

TAMU loses to Auburn and Fla gets beat by Bama. Both end up dropping. UC finishes at 5 right behind an OSU team with only one win against a team with a winning record that doesn’t even play in the B10 championship game. The teams in the playoffs was all figured out before the season began. Seeing OSU up there really does say this is all about getting the “right” teams in the games that drive sponsorships and TV. What they don’t understand is that they are losing the rest of the country that knows their teams don’t have a shot and will tune out the playoffs! I haven’t watched a minute of them the last two years.

Seems to me we previously beat both SMU and ECU, so it doesn't affect the strength of our opponents.

Still waiting for the comment that Indiana's loss to Michigan State hurts OSU's strength of record.

Did I miss something?

Bama as #1. Clemson #2. OSU#3. ND #4

If by a miracle ND wins against Clemson then ND as 2 TAMU 3 and OSU 4. They’ll rig the rankings to make sure there aren’t rematches. Honestly regardless of outcome ND and Clemson shouldn’t both get in. Why do we need to see the possibility of a 3rd matchup between the 2.

He’s confusing NW for IU

The top 7 spots remain unchanged so I'm not surprised there. What does surprise me is how does North Carolina move up 2 spots after losing to Notre Dame? They are the only three loss ranked team and couldn't beat 4-4 Virginia or 2-6 Florida St. If someone can explain the logic to me I'll send a check in the mail.
