Miss St - 1 , Oregon - 2, FSU - 3, TCU - 4

[jamesovercome]

So you mean to tell me a one loss Oregon is over the undefeated defending national champs with the heisman trophy winner at QB.

Fukking lol

Being defending national champs doesnt matter idiot. Its about what you do THIS year, with your QB that is not a heisman candidate this year.

Florida St plays in a pathetic, poverty weak ass conference and hasnt looked good doing it. Theres your answer to why Oregon jumped you.

In all honesty, Bama should too..

[FlashWad3]

Lets be honest though if they don't make it an 8 team playoff the next chance they can they are stupid.

A playoff for the national championship is more exciting than a regular bowl game anyway

[PervedOut]

Are we just gonna pretend there arent 2 teams in the top 8 that gave up 60+ points this season?

[jimbong]

I haven't read the whole thread but just wanted to drop in and say LOL @ Nebraska and the Big 10.

Baylor is going to win the Big 12 and have won the head to head match-up against TCU, but TCU is going to get in over them. This playoff system is really eliminating the problems they had before.....

If they both win out I would bet Baylor will get the nod over TCU due to Baylor being the team that the Big 12 submits to the committee as its champion. The playoff committee polls are a weekly ranking of where teams are NOW, not where they think they will be at the end of the year. If Baylor beats K-State at the end of the year then that will mostly even up their resumes. Then it will just come down to non con SOS vs Conf. champion. I betting the committee sides with Conf Champion.

FSU has one-score wins over Okie St, Clemson, and ND.

Oregon lost to Arizona by one score but has otherwise destroyed everyone else in their path, including Michigan State. The loss hurts but Arizona is a top-15 team.

Oregon barely beat Washington st and needed the refs to not call a clear pi on the last drive

Don't worry, TCU is going to slide out of #4 as they play the softest part of their schedule in the coming weeks. Unlike the polls the committee actually moves teams up and down as their SOS changes. Its based on now and not projections.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that. I appreciate everything Brax has done but I can't tell you with a straight face that I think he can be an NFL QB. It's unfortunate that he's had this rash of injuries now, but he really should just fall back and let JT take the reigns. Brax has always been a freak athlete playing the QB position, but Barrett is more of a true QB who can do a few things with his legs when called upon. He fits the offense better. All we need is someone who can consistently get the ball to the "playmakers" in space. I loved how Braxton could turn a broken play into something crazy, but it's really just masking a symptom of a bigger problem. He doesn't go through all of his reads or see the field that well.

There's sort of a youth movement going on right now; Braxton's class and all of the guys he's known for so long won't be back next year. This is slowly becoming JT's team with every new win. As long as JT doesn't regress during the remaining games, then I'd imagine it's going to be a hard talk, but I think Urban advises Brax to declare for the draft.

Braxton will leave. No way do they start him over JT. He will leave and play 1 more year at a school with a more NFL friendly offense to try and boost his stock (I imagine right now he gets drafted in round 3+).

[wildishchildish]

Braxton will leave. .

lmao, you seriously believe he's transferring?
He's going to be an NFL RB

[P51]

lmao, you seriously believe he's transferring?

Why wouldn't he leave? No way Urban plays him.... He has the chance like russel wilson did to transfer anywhere. It would be in his best interest to do so. If he goes into the draft now lolololol. I'm not saying he will be a good NFL QB ever, but one more year in college can't hurt (fully believe he will never play any meaningful games in the NFL anyways). Smith and Pryor were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better QBs than Miller can even dream of being and look how far they got.

there's nothing to be gained by forcing the Big10 Player of the Year to transfer for one last year of football. There will be enough snaps for both Barrett and Miller next year. Michigan handled the transition from Denard to Gardner.

And smith/ pryor tried playing QB in the NFL, which was a mistake. Miller will probably convert to RB/ WR right away, so he should have a pretty good career, barring injury.

Kenny G was a better QB than Miller

Actually agree

So you're saying even though the ACC has 4 teams in the top 25 and the fact that FSU has ZERO loses, they shouldn't be in the playoff picture? If Bama should jump FSU then why not TCU and all the other 1 loss teams?

If all these conferences are weak and poverty like many of you insist then why don't we have more undefeated teams each year? PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, SRS.

[PervedOut]

I personally think Braxton is all OSU, and would stay even if it meant playing in mop-up duty and on trick plays. No clue how he transitions to another college team that he doesnt know the offense and cant throw the ball to anyone, until near the beginning of the 2015 season. And lettuce not forget that JT runs the ball a lot too, hes one hit from being in the same situation as Brax next year.

[solidus2k3]

in before FSU beats everyone by 40+ again

[IbnKutub]

Lol but he pales in comparison to ORs QB, the best college football player in the country.

OR is going to murder FSU this year, can't wait.

lol,


Oregon fans

[IbnKutub]

Better pay attention to this month's games, Oregon is about due for another collapse right round this time of year I reckon.

Which will be right on schedule.

Inb4 bama beats miss st and the new poll looks like this..

If Bama beats Miss St, it will be:

3. Oregon
4. Miss St


FSU has to beat @ MIA this weekend. That's a good win, considering MIA has only lost to ranked opponents, with the exception of Louisville - (ranked top 30). Miami also has a W vs a ranked opponent. FSU will regain #2 this weekend if they get the W.

What i want:

FSU W until the playoffs.
AL to lose vs Miss St so Clemson can clap them cheeks with DW vs Bama' in the Orange Bowl.

[macksimus]

so, i just want to get this straight:

MSU vs Oregon:
- got outscored 28-0 over the last 3 quarters
- held scoreless the final 1.75 quarters
- outgained by Oregon, -2 TO differential
- 19 point loss
- people saying that the game was closer than the box score shows
- consensus: not blown out


ND vs ASU:
- ND was behind by 3 points with 5 minutes left in 4Q
- ND outgained ASU by 60 yards but was -4 in TO differential
- ASU scores TD with 0:52 remaining on a 4th down run to pad score rather than kicking FG/kneeling down
- 24 point loss
- consensus: "ASU blows out ND"


okay.


MSU got outclassed. Let's quit saying that the Oregon loss was a close one.

[NateTheGood]

Fukking lol

"He's a good kid! He's a smart kid! Just look at his GPA! Look at it!"

Marshall baking at 9-0 and at least they didn't get bailed out by the refs against the bum schools they faced.

[wildishchildish]

MSU got outclassed. Let's quit saying that the Oregon loss was a close one.

ain't nobody that said or believed that. msu got their asses handed to them

you root for littler brother, your argument is invalid.

lol, feeling yourself after ND finally got a decent victory in against michigan, hmm?
It's a good thing your AD decided to cancel the series before Harbaugh showed up in Ann Arbor.
Good luck with your beating Navy goals.

[Bulldognation99]

four teams is so retarded, i can't even imagine all the bullchit arguments that it's going to cause in the coming weeks.
not going to pay attention until they go to 8 teams

The only way Oregon is losing another game is if Mariota gets hurt and both of their RBs are dismissed. Not sure how TCU would lose to anyone left on their schedule either.

Doesnt Oregon still have to play AZ State

Doesnt Oregon still have to play AZ State

tentatively, but I could see that end of season game ASU has with Arizona going either way
