Yes, I flat view FSU as a 6-6 ACC also-ran

I didn't watch all of their games or even all 6 losses, butif you did watch those games, how else could you see them?

as a top 10 team with a few bad breaks?
Fearless: FWIW, FSU is 5-6 with a game Saturday against UL-Monroe.

a 5-6 team without a coach. Might just finish 5-7. What a disaster of a season for FSU. Feel bad for their fans.

I'm rooting for 5-6

probably mostly because the Huskers are 4-8

shoot fire, that was tough to type!

I have a great idea. Lets go ahead and schedule our conference's championship game at no one's home field during rush hour in one of the most congested places in the country.

The Pac was stupid to move their CCG away from the home stadium of the higher seeded or ranked team, especially since they insist on playing their CCG on a Friday.

Hopefully when they most likely move it to Vegas in a few years attendance will improve.

Both  5*s Cam Akers(RB) & Marvin Wilson(DL) came down to The Seminoles & Buckeyes.Wonder if they'd flip now if they could.One good look at Jimbo Fisher should have told them something ain't just right

Back on "topic" (I know).  Check out my math here on possibilities as I think there are few barring something unexpected:

1.  SEC champ is in (not at 1, not meant to be ranked)
2.  ACC champ is in.
3.  OU is in if they win.
4.  Wisconsin is in if they win.

Those two "ifs" loom large, especially as Ohio State is favored.  So, if OU loses, a slot opens up.  If Wisconsin loses a slot opens up.  The only two teams that look viable appear to me to be Bama and Ohio State.

TCU won't jump from 11th to 4th and USC won't jump from 10th to 4th, right?

The CG losers would seem to be out.  Penn State is out.  So, the most probable thing is an OU win and OSU win according to the betting, and that means OSU OR Alabama, which is entertaining.

CGs for the Pac and ACC are not going to be well attended MOST of the time for obvious reasons.  There is no fix except for rigging the teams to be Clemson and FSU each year.  Maybe NCSU fans would show up in numbers.

Meanwhile, tickets for the SEC CG are $500 for the cheapest seats.

yes, entertaining
I would guess Bammer is the pick.  If not, it shows the clout of Big Jim Delany, and the Big Ten.
