I remember when the Pac 12 had all these ranked teams, now they have four.

Well yeah, that's kind of the definition of being overrated.  At the beginning of the season, Oregon's win over super-hyped Colorado looked great.  Now Colorado is just another 4-8 suckbutt.

Current SOR rankings


  • Michigan
  • Washington
  • Florida State
  • Georgia
  • Ohio State
  • Texas
  • Alabama
  • Ole Miss
  • Oregon

Oregon has to rely on the advanced metrics, where they rank #3, behind OSU (#1) and Michigan (#2).

As far as resume vs. predictive, Oregon is the team screwed the most, but my take has always been to lean resume.  And no team has outperformed their predictive metrics among teams in contention by more than Washington.

Because we overrated TCU, we overrated Colorado beating them, and thus Oregon beating Colorado.

So what you are saying is that if we had just known that Michigan didn't have TCU's signals, we would now appropriately rank Oregon

I've semi concluded nobody is all that good this year.  Maybe this is typical.

UGA could be in with a loss, because  last 2 seasons and SEC SEC SEC

I think Oregon is in with a win because....... the committee has them #6 and a win over #3 undefeated Washington would be impressive

Georgia is good.

After that, I think most of the next 5-7 teams are all pretty evenly matched. 

Well, maybe not FSU without their starting QB-- that's not their fault but it is what it is.
