Whether those rankings were accurate or not, you could at least make somewhat educated guesses on how impressive one win would have to be if both teams win, given the differences in opponent rank.
So, that is a consideration to my previous post... we have to assume OSU is a much stronger #5 than they were a week ago. I noticed Houston is 22 in the CFP poll even though they're 16 in AP, so I'm sure that helps OSU's case.
Yeah, it would be far easier if Cincinnati would just lose, heh... Notre Dame getting in would be awful, but could definitely happen if OK St and Cincy lose.
I agree. One of the biggest advantages to the old computer system was you had hard metrics by which to get a more clear picture. With it being left to voters, who knows where these teams will end up. Look at Cincinnati, they are undefeated and still in danger of not making the playoffs. They are one of two undefeated teams, yet Michigan and Alabama are ranked higher. Clearly voters don't respect what they have accomplished, but have them that high because they can't really justify having them lower. [Reply]

I mean, what is he supposed to say? I'm sure he would preferred to be able to take the LSU job after Notre Dame's bowl game but sometimes that is not in the cards. I really don't get what the big deal is. They threw a bag of money at him, is he not supposed to take it? [Reply]
