Omg wazzu hahahahahaghahagaa

Am I reading the box score right? Dude from Washington State threw for 734 yards???

[Guest]

Cal-WSU was 24-13 at halftime and 28-28 in the third quarter alone. 1261 total passing yards in the game. Cal's QB threw for 527 and was still 200 less than WSUs.

Robert Nkemdiche is a monster. Brute strength at DT

That recruiting class will produce 3 top 10 picks next year.

[OleMissCub]

Absolutely. The best of them all is Laremy Tunsil. As a true freshman starting at LT last year, he gave up one sack and it was to Carl Lawson on his 50 something-ish snap of the game. Hasn't given up any this year. He's a true specimen.

I'm just happy that we have almost eliminated the potential of 2 SEC teams making the playoffs.

How do you figure? If anything I thought this weekend helped the chances of there being 2 SEC teams. In any case it's way too early to say.

 

I assume he meant 3 teams will make it now

[shnsajax]

Here is my logic:

 

The SEC East sucks and no teams will make it out and play in a playoff.

 

Now in the West before the SEC Championship we end with Auburn v Bama and Ole Miss v Miss St. Now if Ole Miss and Miss St play each other and are still undefeated that means both Bama and Auburn have 2 losses so they are both out. If Auburn and Bama play each other with 1 and 0 losses that means St. has at least 2 losses and Bama has at least 1. No need to mention Texas A&M in this conversation.

 

Florida St is basically a lock for 1 of the 4 spots. They could lose a game and still make it at this point. We also have the SEC West Champion as well going. That least 2 spots for Pac 12 Champion, Big 12 Champion and or Michigan St if they run they run the table. The scenario's of taking a 1 loss 2nd place in the SEC West over a 1 loss Conference Champion is going to be very small when that 1 loss comes in the last week of the regular season. If it was a computer model picking the teams that would be a different story, but humans are not going to pick a rematch in all likelihood. Its possible, just not likely (Mighigan v Ohio St in '06) .

[SouthSideRyan]

I think it's a mistake to DQ 2 loss SEC teams. We aren't that far removed from LSU being selected as a top 2 team while having 2 losses.

The nightmare scenario is something like 2 loss SEC East champ Mizzou giving SEC West Champ Miss St/Ole Miss their 2nd loss in the SECCG while Bama and/or Auburn don't win the West at 10-2. No idea how you untangle that. Georgia only has 1 loss on the road and has the chance to build a resume @Mizzou, v. Auburn, and v. Georgia Tech at least. Mizzou hosts Georgia this week and then the toughest game after that is I guess @aTm, the 5th or 6th best team in the west?

We are more than far enough removed. Now if other conferences implode I would agree, but if you have two loses in your conference in normal circumstances you should not be a part of a 4 team playoff.

Should?

 

Do, or do not, there is no should.

You could have a 1 loss FSU whose best win is against a 3 loss GA Tech team, a 2 loss PAC-12 Champ, and whoever emerges from a crappy Big Ten as their competition. And that doesn't even really require upsets.

I am good with Do Not.

That was my original thought, although I suspect Clemson will end up looking like a better win than Ga Tech.

 

A 2-loss P12 champion looks pretty darn likely at this point. Stanford already has 2, and Oregon or UCLA will have 2 after this week.
