If I lined those up in August and asked which one of those games would PSU win, what would you guess?

If they played their asses off, how are they going to put their asses into it when the staff demands that of them in drills?

(I thought coming out of the ND game that the numbers had UW in better position than it looked. Translating that position was going to be tough, but they looked to be modest favorites much of the rest of the way. Don't want to jinx it, but some very fertile ground for a rally there)

I was talking about BB and Illinois. I thought the team would give up on him.

I got that (I think?). They first part refers to BB with a bad joke, the second to to your UW comment.

they played their azzes off in the first half

Remember when we thought Indiana was going to be a sleeper in the East? Yeah, about that...

I tried to warn y'all...

On Indiana, it's been my experience that a nonhelmet team will have some success in a year and then not at all the next despite expectations.  Maybe they happen to win 5 close games against mediocre opponents one year and lost 4 of 5 the next, or something, and they upset someone one year and get blown out the next.

I thought Mizzou for example would be half decent this year, they are not.  (They play Vandy this week for a dubious prize.)

Colorado will go 9-3 one year, perhaps, and the 3-9 the next.  I know some of that can be injuries, these teams tend to lack depth.

Kentucky might be an exception, they have had pretty decent teams for a few years now, I'd try and hire their coach were I LSU et al.

Should UC drop in the polls?  The question would be, for me, who should replace them, I'm not impressed with OU.

I'd put Bama there is we were doing a power ranking, but they are showing issues on defense.  Michigan?  Ohio State?  The latter looks impressive on offense now.

I watched a bit of the Clemson game, they are really floundering, basic errors on offfense, not a good team.

I would jump Alabama, OSU, and Michigan into the 2, 3, 4 spots.  The fact is that Alabama will still need to go through Georgia to make the playoff.  Similar situation for OSU and Michigan.  One of those teams has at least one loss coming prior to the BTCG which will drop them.  So it's really inconsequential as far as the playoffs go to move them at this point. 

IMO.....these scenarios still dictate that Cincinnati and Oklahoma control their own destinies if they win out.  And in the unlikely case that Alabama beats Georgia in the SECCG....the pollsters won't have to make a post championship week shuffle pushing Alabama in and Cincy out....most likely leading to an uproar.  Again.....similar for OSU.  Difference is that I think they win out.  Make the move to push them above Cincy and Oklahoma right now when the opportunity exists.  OSU is slaughtering teams and both Cincy and Oklahoma had poor showings.  Oklahoma specifically looking like an overrated team despite an undefeated record.
