I hope when they set the playoff field, they put tOSU, Indiana, and Oregon in different parts of the bracket. It would be great if 3 of the final 4 are Big Ten teams and no SEC teams.

Let's say Ohio State wins out, including winning the conference championship. They'll be #1.
Indiana wins out, except they lose to Ohio State in the conference championship. They could fall to #4 or #5. (No difference.)
Oregon wins out. They'll be #2 or #3.
USC wins out, unless they play Oregon or Indiana. They could be #7 or #10, if Oregon is #3, or #6 or #11, if Oregon is #2.
The Big Ten is then in all 4 quadrants.
I doubt the committee allows for this. They'll figure out a way to put all 4 in the same half of the bracket.
Given the above scenario, Ohio State will drop to #2, with Oregon #3. Indiana will drop to #6 or #7. USC will be #10 or #11 - whichever doesn't play Indiana in the first round.

sons team lost a tough one to their rival this past week, hard fought game but just didn't go their way. They made playoffs and I think they have a chance to win this week, but you never know. Haven't made playoffs in 6 years, so its going to be nice to get to see week 11

The Steelers need more games like this. They need to stop lucking out against good teams and barely squeaking by bad teams. They've been getting away with being below average for far too long.

I don't really agree with that. There is a ton of talent nationally, and with NIL and the transfer portal you don't really get to stockpile talent to the same degree you used to be able to.

Even Saban left for greener pastures. In the NIL era LSU is a 2nd tier program.

More like a bigger, stronger, older brother who puts you in your place whenever your head gets too big.

Was I incorrect in telling my son that this is a career-ender for Skattebo? I'm sure he'll come back, but the way he plays, he's never going to be the same after an injury like that. He probably only had a few years before the CTE takes over anyway, so this might be best for his long-term health. Even a RB as great as Nick Chubb was never the same after his injury.

Hah and ESPiN only showed his play that got intercepted/fumbled!

Aggy and Ole Miss with their schedule I think at this point are almost locks to finish with 1 or zero losses (in aggys case)

Bama has shown they can play down to mediocre teams, i wouldn't put it past them to lose to LSU or Oklahoma and UGA still has to play @ Ga Tech.

Really need Texas to take out Vandy this weekend and for OU to beat Tennessee. Those 2 get scrubs until they play each other after that. Those results would decrease the SECs shot at 5 by quite a bit

Love that the conference of mediocre defense that can no longer out-talent everyone is still dominating the conversation.

You forgot, THTGDB!!


We're about to stomp a mud hole in these pedster assholes!

Teach your kids to become contract lawyers.

He should get in, maybe 2nd ballot
