SEC dominance was the result of them having the 2 best coaches in football. Urban brought Florida back to life and won 2 of them. Saban won 1 with LSU, and left them so loaded that even Miles could win one with that roster (kind of like Miami with Coker) Then Saban went to Bama and built a Juggernaut. The title that Auburn bought is the lone exception and even that was won on the back of an Urban Meyer QB. Urban is gone, LSU has realized Miles cant do it without Saban's players, and Auburn cant win unless they pay for one. So its back to Bama carrying the conference.

I've always given Saban credit for everything good that has come out of LSU since he left. Insane what he was able to build there and how long that program thrived off of that even with a moron like Les behind the wheel. There's no doubt in my mind who the best cfb coach is. Luckily we have #2.

AP Top 25 voter names himself replay official, ranks Michigan over Ohio State

One writer, tasked with ranking college football teams every week, has decided to ignore the recorded result of Ohio State's double-overtime win against Michigan.

Tom Murphy of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ranked Michigan ahead of Ohio State on his AP Top 25 ballot. Choosing to ignore head-to-head results on a ballot happens, though usually not at the top of the rankings and usually not one week after the most pivotal result of the season.

Murphy has reviewed the Ohio State-Michigan game and determined that it was Michigan that won, not Ohio State. That determination drove his decision to put the Wolverines at No. 3, below Alabama and Clemson and two spots ahead of Ohio State (No. 5). You can find Murphy's full ballot and his explanation over at Arkansas Online.

"Yes, I voted Michigan higher than Ohio State," Murphy wrote. "The Wolverines essentially outplayed their opponent on the road and I don't think the football reached the necessary 15-yard line on J.T. Barrett's fourth down run in double overtime. As that was the game-decided [sic] play, I appointed myself the replay official and deemed Michigan the winner.

I deputized myself as a replay official and determined that this is all about click bait.

Trying to figure out how Oklahoma at 9-2 is ahead of the Pedsters at 10-2, in both polls. We played both at their places, and we know the results. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see them any where near a playoff bid, but still I think the polls should get the rankings right. And also how the coaches have Wisconsin over scum, when Wisconsin lost to scum and lost to us in 1 OT at home while scum took us to 2 OT at our place. My top ten would be:

1Alabama (12-0)
2Ohio State (11-1)
3Clemson (11-1)
4Washington (11-1)
5Michigan (10-2)
6Wisconsin (10-2)
7Penn State (10-2)
8Oklahoma State (*9-2)
9Oklahoma (9-2)
10Colorado (10-2)
