Final Ranking?

Submitted by RDDGoblue on
So with all but one relevant game having been played (Oregon-TCU remains), where do you all feel that we will wind up being ranked? We are 14th now, and showed well enough alone that I can't see anyone jumping us. #13 Northwestern got smoked by UT, so they fall behind us. #11 TCU plays tonight #10 UNC lost to Baylor by 11 #9 FSU lost to Houston by 14 # 8 Notre Dame lost to OSU by 16 #5 Iowa lost to Stanford by 29 #4 Oklahoma lost to Clemson by 20 #3 Michigan St lost to Alabama by 38 Obviously we jump NW. If TCU loses tonight we surely jump them. I think it is almost certain we jump UNC. Same with FSU. 50/50 whether we hop ND. I think we should pass Iowa. They were totally exposed vs the only real bits of their schedule the last 2 wks. Not jumping any of the CFP teams that lose. So #12 is worst case, I think that #10 is the baseline, and with a TCU loss, I could fathom us getting as high as #8. Both ND and Iowa are iffy jumps, so I say we end up at 9 with a TCU loss and 10 if TCU wins. My top 10 as of now (with TCU win) 1 Clemson 1 Alabama 3 Oklahoma 4 Stanford 5 MSU 6 Ohio St 7 Ole Miss 8 TCU 9 Michigan 10 Iowa

I see us ending somewhere between 8-10. Most likely we'll finish right at 10. I don't see how they can keep us out with all the teams that lost tbh.

somewhere in there.

Sparty started off the year overrated, so given that, and sheer luck, will finish overrated.

Thanks for nothing, Urban....

Michigan is 14 in the college football playoffs poll but lower in the other polls. If the committee doesn't put out a final poll it is hard to see Michigan jumping into the top 10. Staee should be out of the top 10 after the beat down they received but I doubt they fall that far.

Almost surely, we jump OkieSt, NW, UNC, & TCU/Oregon loser, moving us up to 13th at worst.  I think we also jump #9/8 AP/Coaches FSU but not #8/9 ND (who lost to OSU by 16 while we lost to OSU by 29).  I really doubt we jump two-loss #6/7 Iowa.

So I'm going to guess we finish #12 in both the AP & Coaches polls.

My guess: If TCU loses, we finish Top 10 (as in precisely #10). As they are without Boykin, that'd be my hunch. I doubt we get to #10 otherwise. It'll frustrate some (I'm not one) but I also anticipate both Iowa and ND to not only remain in the top 10 but stay ahead of us.

 

My guesses:

1. Alabama

2. Clemson

3. OSU

4. Stanford

5. Ole Miss

6. Oklahoma

7. MSU

8. Iowa

9. ND

10. Michigan
