I'm excited to see the rankings later today. FSU deserves to jump ahead of Ohio State, IMO and they should get a first place vote or two.

Post #303 » by **craig01** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 2:21 pm

I agree, FSU earned the three spot.

Clemson however, ought to drop big time (14th-15th), as their performance basically was steamrolled.

That had to be one of the all time worst losses by a team ranked #3

LOL that may be true but don't taunt the Iowa St. fans

they have only played one road game, against K state schedule has been very week so far.

I expect at least two more losses for Baylor and would not be surprised to see 3 or 4.

I didn't catch the context of what you were responding to. My bad.

22 Wisconsin 5-2 258
23 Northern Illinois 7-0 220
24 Michigan 6-1 169
25 Nebraska 5-1 117

Dropped from rankings: Georgia 15, Washington 20, Florida 22

Others receiving votes: Arizona State 108, Notre Dame 82, Oregon State 79, Michigan State 73, Georgia 30, Ole Miss 27, Florida 17, Utah 4, Washington 4, Texas 2, Ball State 1, Brigham Young 1

Bama, Oregon and FSU as the Top 3, all getting first place votes, all deserving. Clemson doesn't even fall out of the Top 10, which is a bit baffling to me. Mizzou with a massive jump to #5, which I'm not sure is completely deserved, but on paper they are the SEC's second best team. Auburn jumps 13 spots to #11, that's a rise I don't think I've ever seen before. Baylor and Texas Tech give the Big 12 two ranked teams, which is probably the biggest surprise this season (other than Mizzou). LSU and A&M both drop seven spots after being upset. Louisville drops 10 spots and UCF makes an appearance in the Top 25 for what I believe is the first time ever. Michigan and Nebraska both join the rankings giving the Big Ten four schools in the Top 25.

Georgia, Florida and Washington all drop out of the rankings after very disappointing weeks.

Big games for Week 9:

Tennessee vs. #1 Alabama
NC State vs. #3 Florida State
#9 Clemson vs. Maryland
#10 Texas Tech vs. #17 Oklahoma
Duke vs. #16 VaTech
#12 UCLA vs. #2 Oregon
#20 South Carolina vs. #5 Mizzou
Penn State vs. #4 Ohio State
#8 Stanford vs. Oregon State

Not as many huge matchups this week, but still some very entertaining games on the docket.

- I highly doubt Bama will lose at home, but Tennessee has the ability to keep it close.
- FSU got tripped up by NC St. last season, but I don't think that will be the case this year.
- Let's see how Clemson bounces back.
- OU could regain momentum with a win versus the Red Raiders in Norman.
- Massive Pac 12 matchup between UCLA and Oregon in Eugene. Let's see if UCLA has it in em.
- Mizzou with a test at home versus the Gamecocks.

Oh yeah, and the first round of the last ever BCS standings come out tonight. I would expect a little bit of difference between the AP/Coaches polls and the BCS. A team like Mizzou could be ahead of Ohio State based on the "quality wins" they have. I expect that Bama will be a very clear #1 with a huge gap over Oregon, but Oregon will also have a huge margin over either FSU/OSU/Mizzou.

CBS Projection of BCS has Oregon just barely ahead of FSU. If they both run the table for the season it could be pertty interesting and controversial.
both have some big games. I think Oregon has the more difficult remaining schedule though

Texas Tech and Missouri look like the next to fall.

FSU still has to play Miami though. And are we convinced Bama will run the table? You never know in the SEC.

FSU also has to ply at the swamp.

Never discount an away rivalry game.

Oregon dropping out of #2 is some bull. Besides Clemson, who has FSU even played? Maryland? What a joke. Just for the record I thought both of those teams were overrated.

Oregon just needs to take care of business and just win out the rest of the way. Florida St. is going to end up dropping a game before the end of the season.

I'm pulling for a Bama/Oregon championship all the way.

Who exactly has Oregon played besides Washington?

They've dismantled all their opponents and haven't lost yet, that alone should secure the #2 spot for the time being. BCS overvalues week to week games, it's not fair for Florida St to jump a team of Oregons caliber.

I'm not worried though, Oregon can make a more convincing argument once they take down Stanford and UCLA. They have a much harder strength of schedule the rest of the way.

El Turco · Post #318 » by **El Turco** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 4:28 am

harder sos as my ass, unless miami completely implodes fsu is going end up having 4 wins that were in top 10 at some point, assuming they run the table. it would be crime to put fsu anything below #2, especially considering they've been just as dominant as oregon despite playing harder schedule.

brackdan70 · Post #319 » by **brackdan70** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 1:25 pm

FSU has played a harder schedule so far.they deserve #2 right now..but Oregon schedule is tougher for remaining games. All Oregon's remaining games are against top 40 teams. including Stanford and UCLA as likely top 10 when they play. FSU has one top 10 in Miami and a disappointing Florida team as their tough games. The rest of their games are cupcakes.
the two teams are very tight in the BCS so if they both run the table Oregon should move past them easily.

El Turco · Post #320 » by **El Turco** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 8:14 pm

ucla is not sniffing top 10 again unless they beat oregon, they are not playing another good team again. miami is better than ucla anyway. also doubt beating a top 40 team that lost to a fbs team holds more water than beating florida.

oregon probably loses to stanford, they might end up worrying about getting into any bcs game let alone the title game.
