College Football Playoff (2016-2017 Season)

[scarletmike]

PedSU at 12, eh?

EDIT: Buckeyes ranked at #6. I feel like that's kind of a "Show us you deserve it" ranking for this weekend.

Texas A&M at 4 is a fucking joke.

6 is fine for Ohio State.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Aggy, wow. I guess never underestimate the power of a good nut squeeze.

 

[Systems_id]

Texas A&M at 4 is a fucking joke.

6 is fine for Ohio State.

Had they not gotten completely stomped by Bama, I could see it. As it stands now? Eh.

 

[Buckeyebred97]

Texas A&M at 4 is a fucking joke.

6 is fine for Ohio State.

Their best win is what against an unranked Tennessee team that took OT?

How is Washington behind Aggy?

What a fucking joke. Utah is a much better win than Tennessee. And Aggy got skull-fucked by Bama.

So really the CFP pollsters are no different than the mediodts when it comes to the ZOMG!! SEC!!!ELEVENTY!!!!

All SEC teams are top 25 to start the season and unless they lose to a non conference team (hard to do given all the 1AA schools they schedule) they are not dropped for a loss because it came against.....wait for it....a ranked team.

It's fucking tired already.

They have a Top 10 win in an Auburn team that's rolling right now. That's it though. I don't know what logic they're using to keep A&M ahead of Washington but not Ohio State.

It will all work itself out at the end, it always does. How Meatchicken is No. 2 over Clemson is as much a surprise as A&M. Mostly media fodder....

 

[Jaxbuck]

I do think they are sending a pretty clear message to the rest of CFB that they value the B1G and SEC conference strength a hell of a lot more than anyone else.

Seems they are putting PAC12 into near B12 status meaning run the table or GTFO because we think your conference is garbage (mostly because Stanford can't remember to play Stanford football.....at all).

[DaddyBigBucks]

Pedsters at #12 huh?

There's nothing wrong with this committee that couldn't be fixed with a hammer, some nails and a Molotov cocktail

 

[buckeyebri]

I'm fine with scUM being #2. They've smelled like it forever, and it will only help the Buckeyes in the end.

Don't disagree with this line of thought at all. I just really don't see them being any different than UW or A&M when you have the discussion of who has played who so far. Like I said once the dust settles it will work itself out.

Yeah - these rankings are meaningless....no one is freaking out about where Ohio State is....I'm actually a little surprised they're ahead of Louisville....

Still have no idea how the Peach Bowl is on the list of semi-final bowl games. The stadium's a dump, and I've never met a single person that considers Atlanta to be an attractive destination city.

These are the playoffs, not Vacation Cruise Club. The concern should be that NO ONE in the Big Ten is doing a damn thing for Big Ten fans or Midwest football. Make the west coasties and the rebels play a game east of the Rockies and North of the Ohio. If the NFL can do it, so can Div 1 football.
