not that surprising- USC has been atrocious on defense all year.

USC losses, Tennessee losses, and Clemson drops a game somehow- the OSU-MICH loser probably makes the playoff....
And et their asses kicked.

Also, I'm back to PJ where I was the week before the 2018 Axe: all hat and no cattle. He's 0-7 vs Iowa and 2-2 vs Wisconsin. Jerry Kill 2.0.
Jerry never beat Big Red. At least give PJ Barnum credit for winning twice. And.. he's 2-3 against UW.

Herbig got ejected for targeting yesterday. He pulled up as best he could, and he turned his body mid-flight to try to avoid.

This was one week earlier. No call. As in zero.

Told ya OSU would have a tough one.

You know what I know? I know this:

The B1G is horrible, and the two teams at the top are paper tigers.

A lot of the top struggled yesterday including some who flat lost to cupcakes.

South Carolina is a weird team at home.  Maybe everybody is a tiger of paper.  El Tigre Papier, TigerKing ...

Have to disagree with you.  Outside of one team (Georgia) I would gladly bet on Michigan or Ohio State against anyone else.  And even with Georgia- I don’t see a huge gap. 

Also- I don’t think the BIG is horrible.   They may be put together differently- they play defense and can handle November.  My guess is they will hold their own in Bowl season.

If you get two teams into the CFP, it obviously bumps everyone else up a notch and that can make it more difficult.  But bowl outcomes I think often are unexpected.

It’s unbelievable how inconsistent they are with targeting calls/no calls.

agreed, cause the rule is fairly simple

and there is someone in the booth that can easily stop play to check out any close calls

Illinois is a flawed team, and Michigan needed the zebras to secure a win.

Teams ranked in the AP that lost:

5
10
13
14
16
20
22
24

I probably missed one.


Teams that were in danger of losing, 1, 2, 3, 4....

Some crazy things may (will?) yet happen ...

UNC beats Clemson (probably possible)
LSU beats UGA (ugh)
Ohio State beats UM and then loses to Iowa
USC loses to whoever out west
TCU gets blown out finally

The CFP is UGA, LSU, Bama, and OSU.
