As much as I'd like to penalize Notre Dame for their shit, I don't see how you could put a 2 loss team over them. [Reply]
Going to be interesting to see what the committee decides because they have to look at what they'd perceive a matchup between Oklahoma and Alabama to be versus Ohio State vs Alabama. I don't think Oklahoma has a defense that can stop Alabama once in that game. Ohio State, 50% of the time, does. I don't know that Oklahoma could hang within 30 points of 'Bama, seriously. I think from a physical standpoint they'd get their shit pushed in. If the committee takes Oklahoma, it's because they think that offense can compete and keep a close game. If they take Ohio State it's because they are going with the team that has a better chance at actually beating Alabama if they play the type of game they played against Michigan. [Reply]
I had not realized that Iowa State played a makeup game with Drake to round out their schedule today... and Drake almost won. ISU won 27-24 and were trailing in the 3rd quarter.
That might have been the biggest upset in history, Drake is a non-scholarship program playing a power 5 ranked team. Funny thing would be if it knocks Iowa State out of the top 25 and takes a top 25 win away from Oklahoma's resume. [Reply]

Ya but they lost to fucking Purdue. Fucking Purdue. [Reply]
My money is on Ohio State. Georgia is out and should be. Sooners defense despite a decent showing against Texas is massively bad. They would play Bama and would routed big. Bama could name their score and hit it. [Reply]
I think its between 2 loss Georgia, which played well vs. Alabama but ultimately blew it (fake punt, really?), and Oklahoma that avenged their 3 point loss to a ranked Texas. [Reply]
Honestly, Georgia should be excluded from the conversation because of that fake punt. Alabama was fucking lined up to stop that and they just go ahead and run it anyway. [Reply]
