Can we update the title that way we can keep dropping any ranking news here.

So if this go like this ranking? Ohio St and Indiana will play for the B1G, and Texas A&M and Bama will play for the SEC?
tOSt Mich may be the only thing in it way?
Ind. I really don't see anything to stop them?
TA&M Texas?
Bama LSU, Okla, little bro?

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

It seems that strength of schedule doesn't matter. I know they say it's part of the equation, but results (at least at the top) say otherwise.

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

We need to schedule more like indiana in the future. Drop the ohio states of the world.
Schedule portland state, ECU, and charlotte. SEC slate is tough enough.

Unless tOS has a rash of injuries or something, Michigan is no threat to them. But, anything can happen.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Not to tamper the discussion here, but there's really no point in putting any stock into the poll until the last week of the season and then gong into the conference title games. Until then, it's about as meaningless as it could be, other than ESPN trying to manufacture some drama for their Tuesday night ratings every week.

True @Brandon Van de Graaff! There is still a lot of ball to play.

Very true. but it sheds light on what the committee considers important. And this will impact the final rankings.

 

[Rolltide24]

The only thing that matters in this ranking is Notre Dame being top 10. They don’t have to worry with a conference championship and have a light schedule remaining. Almost a shew in for the playoffs after losing to the only 2 real teams they’ve played.

 

[mando]

Way to much football to play for Bama starting this weekend. One bad game can change everything.

 

[64Tide]

Isn’t it time to eliminate conference championship games?
