Did the new rankings (especially TCU) square with your assessment?
Go Ducks!!!
Until there is a REAL playoff that includes ALL 10 conference champs and 6 at large teams this , just like the BCS is a giant fraud and an insult to college football fans everywhere.
Thanks nortex for checking in with me about this...TCU is a good football team...they have had about as up and down year as any collegiate team has had.
Whipping up on Texas Tech 82-27 and then slipping by a woeful Kansas team 34-30. They just escaped Morgantown with a win and then lost the high scoring affair with Baylor. I gotta imagine that Baylor must be feeling like the red headed step kid today.
I have felt this for a while, there are elements in society that want to keep FSU from this year’s playoffs to show displeasure with Winston, who BTW, had his conduct hearing today. So politics have come full square to College football. It would not surprise me if FSU defeats Georgia Tech this weekend and is then dumped out of the top 4 altogether. The panel has figured out that they can monkey with the ratings anyway that they want to and apparently they will.
First and foremost, should be a team’s won/loss record, followed by strength of schedule. Won/loss record because that is why they keep score. With the exceptions of The Citadel and Syracuse, FSU’s schedule was fairly tough combined with the fact that for every team that FSU played this year, that week’s game was THE game of the year for that team and none of the head coaches of those teams had to waste any time giving motivational speeches to get his team up for that game.
While Winston struggled at times this season, he always delivered when he had to. If he had played in the NFL this season, the bronze statute of him for outside of the stadium would already be on order.
I do believe that FSU will win this weekend. Their defense has grown and is beginning to play like a top 5 unit. The pressure of his conduct hearing behind him, Jameis may return to the form he has displayed throughout his college career.
Other than that, I am clueless...
