[ORD_Buckeye]

bUCkeye State - 322,757

But they're using an acronym to refer to their band now!

The perfect metaphor for that school.

They apparently like utah too. Each only fell 3 spots. Maybe the committee fell asleep before the games ended

Utah only falling 3 spots is more mind boggling .....Arizona was 5-5 going into that game (2-5 in the PAC 12 only wins over the 2 worst PAC 12 teams Colorado and Oregon State)

If we win our last three games, nada matters. If we don't, we are out. Just win baby.

Well yeah but the pac 12 still having a chance at the playoffs after last week is kind of a joke even if it irrelevant to us.

Utah shouldn't have been dropped that far. They're now ranked below a team they beat.

As much as I hate Michigan I'm not sure I agree with that logic as Michigan the first game under a new coach is different then michigan 10th game under a new coach.

Also if we want to go by that logic once again Mother Fucking Stanford

Agreed, stanford should be ranked 20th.

 

[TooTall]

Agreed, stanford should be ranked 20th.

Ironically, I have them at 19 in the BP poll. (I do a top 25, then slim it down to 15 for the poll, easier to track teams that way.)

And in their 10th game they needed double OT to beat IU...

Edit: and needed Minnesota to give them the game in their 8th game... Coming off a bye...

The better TSUN is ranked the better a win there will be for Buckeyes CFP rankings.

To me, record trumps head-to-head. Once the records are the same though, head-to-head seems like a pretty important and useful way to separate two teams. Improvement over the course of the season is pretty important too, but more so when the two teams haven't played each other. Head-to-head should trump trajectory, otherwise why bother playing the games? Besides, if Utah truly is trending downward and M*ch*g*n upward then the results over the remainder of the season should bear that out. There's no need for the polls to project that on the two teams. When the CFP committee does things like that they begin to fall back into some of the old traps of the old polls and BCS.
