Please put FSU at 4 and whoever gets in between Texas and Bama 3. Thank you

IMO the less teams in consideration the better. Texas wants Bama and Oregon eliminated from discussion. Reality though is it likely comes down to winning and then Louisville winning for Texas to get in. The doomsday scenario for Texas is a playoff of Michigan Washington FSU and …… Bama. This place would implode, but even with the head to head I don’t see the SEC getting left out, especially since they will have just knocked out the number 1 team and Texas is playing Okstate

Iowa has played one team with an offense ranked higher than 94th. That was pedo and they demolished Iowa. Maryland would be able to win the west easily. Poor wiscy. What a fall from grace for them

I get what Iowa is and how they do it and have "success" but there is ZERO chance these guys can drive the field on Michigan. Michigan has played two top 10 defenses and came away averaged 27 points in those games, and both of those teams (O$U/Pedo) had semi functional offenses. Iowa could seriously end up with less than 100 yards off offense and like 30 total offensive plays. I know as Texas fans you are rooting for an upset but there is literally zero path for Iowa to win this game. Michigan turns the ball over 4 times in their own half of the field they still probably win 28-16. In little Ferentz's swan song could they empty the playbook and hit a trick or two? Maybe? But they don't have the talent to do that. The score won't be close. They game will be even less close than the score.

31-3 Michigan Iowa kicks a "you didn't shut us out" early 4th quarter FG.

What possible reasoning could they give to have Michigan jump UGA for number 1 when UGA plays Bama and Michigan plays Iowa? Same for putting a team with 1 loss over an undefeated team. I am not saying the committee won't do it, but last year they could have given UGA the "easy" game with TCU and didn't

Bama. I explained that 5 posts ago. My assumption is that Bama is NOT going to beat UGA. Which is why I said a win over 12-1 Washington is better than a win over 11-2 Bama.

I agree with this. I just don't see Bama beating UGA. If Bama wins it makes things a lot more messy. As a Michigan Fan I want Oregon, UGA and Florida State to win (sorry Texas) because I think Michigan would crush FSU, especially with no Travis, and I think the only way Michigan gets that Matchup is if UGA/UM/FSU and Oregon all win. I think Louisville has a good shot of beating FSU, probably a toss up. If they do, Texas wins and they are in. Without FSU losing I really don't see a way Texas jumps in. *unless Michigan loses.

I am not saying that Oregon CURRENTLY should be ranked higher than Texas, they probably shouldn't. I AM saying Oregon beating Washington this weekend is not going to make them drop behind Texas. Beating a top 20 team isn't going to jump a team over another team that would be beating a top 3 team. Washington being number 3 right now is more impressive than a team being number 3 in week 2 of the season.

So could Texas. KSU went for it in OT instead of kicking the FG. So Texas could have 2 losses as easily as Washington could. The difference is that Washington currently has no losses.

You can't seriously want to take ranking when played into consideration. Colorado, USC and A&M were all ranked based on preseason expectations. The current rankings have the most data, why would you make a decision off incomplete data?

You don't think in the 6 weeks since this went down Iowa would have changed their signs?

In my post I said if Bama Wins it is a different discussion. But currently Washington is ranked higher than Bama which is why it would be a better win.

Because Washington is currently number 3 and Bama WAS #3. Washington would also be 12-1 where as Bama would be 11-2.

This weekends game is going to be pretty funny. Both teams want to eat up clock and give the other team 5-6 total possessions. There are going to be a TON of Commercial/Kick or Punt/Commercial breaks in this one just for the sheer volume of clock winding that is going to happen. Michigan (aside from 1 game) has done a great job not turning it over. I don't see Iowa being able to move the football against Michigan's defense at all. I think it will depend on if Iowa tries to get on the board with a garbage time FG, or actually tries for the touchdown if they will end up losing something like 24-0 or 24-3.

The reason Oregon would make it over Texas is that, IF they beat Washington their best win (Washington) will be better than Texas best win (Bama), and they will have avenged their only loss. Texas could get some help here if Bama ends up beating UGA. A 1 loss Washington team probably drops to 5-6, a 2 loss Bama is probably around 10. If Oklahoma would have won out and Texas would have had the same chance and Oklahoma was ranked in the top 5 it would be a closer discussion, but unless Bama wins Saturday Oregon would have the better resume. Oklahoma state being ranked in the high teens hurts Texas's chances unfortunately.

I had the same injury compound tib/fib break in high school football. It took them about 40 mintues to get me off the field trying to get me into a position where it didnt look like i had two knees. Granted it was 20 years ago and I had to go to 2 different hospitals before I ended up a UofM where they were able to do anything about it. The first two said they just didn't have the capabilities to treat that severe of an injury. I was in traction for around 20 days and then a wheel chair for 3 more weeks. Before a solid 6 months on crutches, the rod and screws made it all stable but it was a solid year before I could do any sort of impact running. I got the screws out about 4 years after as they were giving me some trouble. So it fucking sucks, and suck for Zinter. Assuming he got WAY better and quicker care than I did, and the advances of medicine since it happened to me, I would say he is probably going to redshirt his first year in the NFL. With the hardware leg should be able to hold up after that. He is a much better athlete than I and is going to have unlimited resources for rehab so maybe he is back on his feet in time for the season next year. But he is going through some shit for sure. Someone is going to get a hell of a player late in the draft due to his slide. Also Go fucking Blue. I thought Michigan was going to beat the breaks off Ohio State again. I did not feel good about giving them the ball back when a touchdown would lose it. Hell of a game.

Gus never bothered me until today. His insistence on forcing nicknames is pretty brutal to listen to

I’m sure a lot of people hate rivals coaches. But day is terrible. Just a horrible cunt.

The pressure is so high on Michigan to win this weekend. Not having Harbaugh obviously hurts because Sherrone has been ultra conservative running the show, but the pressure to prove that they can win without whatever was going on with Stalions is enormous. They lose this weekend and it doesn't only knock them out of the playoffs this year, but hurts the previous two championship years as well.

Dude this made one of the $9.95 Guru's quit

Nothing to see here clearly. Go out and beat Ohio State.

no one cares David.

franklin doesn't like the deep ball. This is one of my favorite coach replies of all time.

After watching Michigan play this year I would never have guessed they would beat a team the way they did yesterday. Last year they did it to everyone run run run Run, one or two shots deep. This year they just didn’t look like that. Pedo had one of the top run Ds and instead of letting JJ go nuts like they had been they decided to just run into pedos strength and it worked.
