2014 Preseason and Regular Season Polls

[MaxBuck]

My guess: Buckeyes will be rated 10th in the next playoff poll:

1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Oregon
4. Alabama
5. TCU
6. Arizona State
7. Baylor
8. Ole Miss
9. Auburn
10. Ohio State

I don't see Auburn above us; Ole Miss maybe. I also don't see Bama ahead of TCU.

I think you swap Bama and TCU, us and Auburn.

BAMA and LSU looked like shit tonight. I don't want to hear any of that "two tough SEC defenses in a battle of wills" bullshit either. Dropped passes, stupid penalties, suspect coaching and awful QB play. That is what I watched (on commercial breaks). On the other hand, TCU dominated a solid K State team and did so without their leading rusher. If TCU doesn't jump BAMA, the playoff committee needs to be disbanded because either 1) they don't know jack shit about CFB or 2) the SEC bias has tainted the process.

Ohio State deserves to be in the top 10 after tonight. Here is to hoping that Nebraska wins out and Ohio State crushes them in the BIG 10 championship game.

Agreed. We should be 7 IMO, but will probably be 8. Behind Baylor. But really it's just that top 6 that we need to penetrate, and obviously 2 of those will eliminate themselves. Just need an FSU or TCU loss, or mayhem in the PAC 12 or SEC.

In any event, Ohio State isn't going to get the big bump that most Buckeye fans are expecting.

Is anyone really expecting them higher than 9? 8 at the highest?

Nope...they'll be number 10 at best in my IMO.

Yeah, Ole Miss had a solid win against Presbyterian today. They better get dinged for scheduling that horseshit game this late in the season. No way should they be above tOSU.

Well I'm expecting them to be 8, maybe as high as 7. But yes, I don't think anyone is expecting to be named top 4 or anything.

I'd be very surprised. If they're behind any 2 loss team that would make the committee look like fools.

I would agree unless a 2 loss SEC champ

Believe it. I mean I might be one spot off or so, but if they are above 9/10 I'd be shocked.

I was thinking no way they'd be below 7 until I just looked at results. Unless Oregon loses, I think you are correct.

Well we're talking November 7, not December in the final rankings.
