I think that TSUN game is not even going to be close. I don't know what happened to the offense that started the year for Ohio State, but maybe if someone could get it on the milk cartons, there is still hope.

Here is my idea (from the pure capitalist voice in my head):

If you want to vote, fine. Pollsters put money down.

Real money.

Wins and losses will add and subtract accordingly.

Carrots for closest to the pin, sticks for missing.

Over inflated suck job, daughetr's pink fluffy stuffed animal soft NC State loses at home to undermanned Wake weak dick fucking Forest? You had a vote that put them in top 25?

Costs the mortgage payment.

I bet your ass will think next time you stupid sonofabitch.

You will either think or go broke and quit. Either way we will get intelligent voting and if the whole fucking system is based on voting then it shouldn't be too much to ask.

sorry for rant 3+ cocktail lunch

I advocate a tax-dollar-paid weighted voting system myself. I am comfortable with your proposal.

Actually, if the defense plays like it did yesterday, and we implement more Martell packages, I now like our chances...

Iowa State is this weeks "wtf are they stroking them so much" team.

3 losses - 1 to TCU and 1 to Iowa

Rocket up 6 spots to #16 for beating a awful Baylor team.

Utah jumped from unranked to #19 for beating a 6-4 Oregon team.

Do they just throw darts or draw names out of a hat to decide how to rank anyone outside of the top 4?

Oklahoma comes down to the wire two weeks in a row against unranked opponents while giving up 50,000 yards of offense.

Number 6 with a bullet!

Washington State and LSU with one less win and one more loss than Ohio State, look ugly in wins against unranked (read: horrible) opponents while the Bucks drop #18 on the road:

No bump.

No bias to see here. TCU and Penn State were billed as powerhouses when Ohio State beat them. Lofty goals lead to not giving a damn about the rest of their season, but let’s not take that into account. If you want to scold Ohio State for their opponents’ losses, you have to consider it’s because they knocked the fight out of them.

This is horse shit. Wtf is LSU still doing at #7 with a loss to Florida and a blowout loss to Bama at home?

Yeah, yeah, Purdue, Ohio State is garbage, it won’t matter in the end... whatever. I don’t buy that teams ranked ahead of them should be there. People claiming this team is trash will have to consent to telling me the 2002 NC team was sewage water with the amount of “overrated” chants against them before I believe that.

OHIO STATE'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF CHANCES UNCHANGED AFTER UPSET-FREE WEEK IN TOP 10

While Ohio State’s 20-point win over Michigan State might have helped its chances of ultimately making the College Football Playoff, the Buckeyes didn’t receive any help from any other teams on Saturday.

No teams in the top 10 of last week’s College Football Playoff rankings lost this past weekend, and as a result, there were no changes in one week’s playoff standings to the next for the first time ever since the playoff began in 2014.

Ohio State remains 10th in the playoff standings this week, and as a result, the Buckeyes now have just three weeks to climb six spots in order to make the field of four.

2 thoughts on CFP rankings this week:

1) Seems like a lazy job by committee with the rankings process. No teams lost in top 10 so regardless of total body of work or objective analysis of how teams would fare head-to-head = no teams should move. Keeping LSU at 7 is not a good look considering their resume continues to get worse, they weren’t competitive against Bama in their house and they had a tight game with Arkansas last week. Stock sliding...

2) I’m starting to buy in to the SEC bias clamoring with their rankings. Highest ranked 4 loss, 3 loss, 2 loss and 2nd highest ranked 1 loss team. Good conference with 2 great teams, 1 solid team, 2-3 fringe top 25 and some bad teams. Sounds like the B1G but you don’t see that in the rankings and they’ll naturally get another artificial boost after creampuff weekend where other leagues are all picking up tough conference games and picking up 6-7 more L’s for their conference.

At the end of the day, win out and we’ll be thrilled with the season (playoffs or not) but it’s still frustrating that we have to compete against an unbalanced system.

Their next game is against TEXASisBACK ... so not hard to figure that out... also, Longhorn Network. Another ESPN holding.

Edit: And the game is even on LHN. A "top-25 matchup"... manufactured though it is.
