Taking L's: #1 Tennessee, #4 Clemson, #6 Alabama Go Down

And USC is down one (very early) to Cal. OSU struggled with Northwestern. 

 

...college football, man. College football. It's hard to win games this time of year, Michigan is 9-0. Go Blue!

Exactly, I'm bummed. Bama was never an issue for me.

 

I can't STAND Brian Kelly and I don't want ANY good things to ever happen to that guy. 

 

I've said it before. Brian Kelly, Ryan Day, James Franklin...and now Mel Tucker. Can't stand em.

But Kelly stands slightly above Day for me...those two and Dantonio. Fuck, put em on a boat and sink it to the bottom of the ocean.

Urban Meyer, Mel Tucker...you round out my top 5.

UM moves to #3 in the CFP.  Book it.  UM certainly passed Clemson to #4, and the committee isnt going to move a 1-loss TN to #3 after losing by two TDs to GA (GA was favored by 8.)  UM earned the #3 ranking tonight in the CFP.

“The wins at Wake (Forest), at Florida State, over N.C. State, over Syracuse, really did push (Clemson) over the top,” Corrigan said.

I didn't have too much of an issue with Clemson over Michigan simply because they put UGA at #3.

Michigan and UGA had similar SOS, so they were at least consistent even though I didn't think UGA was #3 and Michigan was clearly better than Clemson.

But if they wanted to send some kind of message...at least they were consistent.

The problem is, the job is to rank the best teams, period. Michigan is just flat out better than Clemson.

I literally posted 4-5 weeks ago that Clemson is a team that you'd typically rank around #15.

 

Oh, I got it...Clemson is Penn State.  They're a 9-3 team.

I've always thought Carolina was going to embarrass them.

Yeah, that's hilarious.

Wake Forest now has three losses, including a 48-21 loss to a lackluster Louisville team. Clemson only beat them by five.

Florida State also has three losses. Clemson only beat them by six.

NC State has two losses, including a 24-9 loss to Syracuse. Clemson only beat them by ten.

Syracuse also has three losses, including a 41-24 loss to Notre Dame and a ten point loss to four-loss Pittsburgh. Clemson only beat them by 6.

So, Clemson has four close wins against above average teams.

I expect Michigan to move up to #3 when the new rankings are released. 

Georgia will jump OSU, and while I think Michigan will be at #3, I think there should be a long discussion about Michigan at #2.

Clemson was always a fraud, I watched every game this year...they're a 3 loss team in a terrible conference.

TCU won, they should go to #4.

  1. Georgia
  2. OSU (close, though I would rank Michigan #2)
  3. Michigan
  4. TCU
  5. Oregon (May swap them with Tennessee)
  6. Tennessee (I don't have number in front of me, but maybe they're #5 because they looked a lot better versus UGA and they beat Bama).
  7. LSU
  8. USC (assuming they win)
  9. Ole Miss
  10. Bama (maybe UCLA, then Bama at #11...both of Bama's losses were close, on the road, to teams in the top 7)

GA was favored by 8.  GA won by 2 scores.

 

UM almost doubled it's spread.  UM certainly passes Clemson to #4.  CFP moves a 1-loss team from only #1 to #3?  CFP does not keep a 1 loss TN ahead of 9-0 #2 OSU and 9-0 #4 UM (due to the Clemson loss.)  TN will be highest ranked of the 1-loss teams.  3 undefeated teams, perhaps even TCU, will shoot ahead of TN.
