It saddens me that PSU @ MINN is probably a coin flip

I dont even think it is a coin flip...sorry

I'm trying to be optimistic, but PSU's defense SUUUUUUUCKS

[Tracer Bullet]

I think ND has 8 healthy defensive players. Lost about 4 to cut blocks the last 2 weeks alone

[UK1679666180]

With their dominating performance vs Alabama St., Kentucky jumped past Purdue, Iowa St, and Cal in the RPI rankings. They're still one behind Kansas.

 

Mizzou should destroy UK.

[Old Style]

Two top 10 matchups and both are on Thursday. WTF?

[Formerly Snayke]

4-star OL Andy Bauer commits to Mizzou, drops it for Ole Miss, then re-commits to Missouri. Take that, Hugh Freeze.

I think things are gonna get blown up pretty soon. Bama, Oregon and Baylor despite being double digit favorites have tough games this week. FSU has looked great but I could absolutely see the Gators giving them problems on rivalry week.

 

So with Bama having the tough game this week, a tough road game @ Auburn and then the SECGC, I think its really difficult for them to get through unbeaten. Oregon has to win in palo alto and then the PAC12 title game, Baylor will probably lose 2+ games, and OSU has to win in ann arbor and then beat MSU.

 

There is 10-12 teams who still have a solid shot at getting the the bcs title and a few two loss teams (LSU/USC) have outside shots with 2 losses.

I don't think the Tigers have a snow ball's chance in hell of beating Bama, but man would I love for it to happen.

Beat them two years ago in tuscaloosa and absolutely should have beat them last year.

Congrats on your first 4 star of the class.

 

Not surprising he would go with Mizzou considering he is from there and all.

I feel like Bams is going to lose this year. Not this week though. Auburn is going to take them out. Of course I really want to see FSU/Oregon.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Hope Mizzou gives Franklin another week off (two with the bye) so he can be fully healthy (ideally) for Ole Miss/A&M.

[Derwood]

I can't be the only one rooting for OSU to go 13-0 and be left out of the title game, right?

 

It would be delicious for the Urban era to start 25-0 without a title shot

[Guest]

I'd prefer they simply lose out(or even better, have Mizzou win out and jump them as a 1-loss SEC champ), but I'd also be okay with them missing the title game to 2 of Bama/Oregon/FSU

[Ryne Ween]

While I hate OSU and only want bad things to happen to their program its crazy that the spread between Oregon & FSU and OSU in both the coaches and AP is as large as it is. It seems fairly understood, by all the national guys that OSU is behind Oregon and FSU. I think those three teams should be a dead heat behind Bama.

 

Id be shocked is OSU went 13-0 and lost on the cards, i doubt 2 of the other 3 go unbeaten.

Maybe Ohio State can look into playing a good team before they get lumped in with Oregon and Florida State (certain 1-loss teams have better resumes than OSU too).

[Ryne Ween]

FSU's and OSU's schedules will look very comparable at the end of the year. FSU has played one good team and one ok team. Arguably OSU's is stronger. Oregon's schedule is pretty even with OSU's (up to this point) as well.

The SEC really has you if you find yourself rooting for Bama over OSU

I grew up in greater Cleveland, OSU has always been higher on my crap list.

What OSU opponent is comparable to either Clemson or Miami?

Miami will look fairly pedestrian by the end of the season. I dont think Miami is on a different level than Wisconsin. Clemson obviously is the best team on either schedule but beating Mich at the big house and then MSU id say the schedules are comparable (assuming of course they win those games).

It's kind of surprising seeing as how he de-commited. Also, what the Missouri coaching staff lacks in recruiting St. Louis, they make up for in developing 3-star guys. Remember that the next time you're putting together SEC power rankings.
