BStowers023 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 For the B1G as a whole, we need Nebraska to go undefeated (and then at least win the first round of the playoff). They're our only hope. So you believe Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State all have no shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Not to toot my own horn but in an earlier post I stated Oregon would pull an Oregon and lose to an unranked team at some point. They do this every year and yet every year the media and fans seem to think this year is the one haha. I honestly feel there will only be 1 undefeated team at the end of the year at best. At some point I even think FSU will slip up and drop a game, they should have lost 2 already this year. Doesn't FSU play ND last this year ? No way they get through ND.

airwg2189 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 So you believe Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State all have no shot? You're kidding me right? A one-loss B1G team will not get into the tournament this year, unless EVERYONE ELSE has 2, and even then, it'd be iffy. That said, I believe MSU will win, but I'm hoping for the conference's sake that they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hahaha, if only picking the lottery numbers were as easy as predicting an Oregon loss. My picks this week are: #6 TAMU vs #12 Miss St #20 OSU vs Maryland #3 Alabama vs #11 Ole Miss (upset special) #4 Oklahoma vs #25 TCU #14 Stanford vs #9 Notre Dame #15 LSU vs #5 Auburn #19 Nebraska vs #10 Michigan St My upset picks: Texas over #7 Baylor Wake Forest over #1 FSU (One can dream right haha) Should be a lot of shake up in not only the meaningless polls but the playoff picture.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Doesn't FSU play ND last this year ? No way they get through ND. Yeah they play them, I said a while ago that I expect there to be a whole lot of 1 loss teams fighting over 4 playoff spots. People will be crying about how the BCS was a better system haha. The homer in me is going to show with this next statement but oh well. If there is a bunch of 1 loss teams and OSU is one of them, I really believe they will get in. The amount of money that OSU would bring to the playoffs would make it worth the committees time to choose them. Not to mention if they beat a top 10 team (Michigan St) that will look good on the resume. The old way of thinking was, it's better to lose early than to lose late in the year, right?

MSU has to defeat a 1 loss (at the time) OSU Nebraska can only suffer 2 losses, MSU This weekend, then MSU again in the title game. If all those things happen, MSU gets a playoff spot unless there are 4 unbeaten P5 champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 This just in: Oregon drops to #5 and Arizona catapults from unranked to #9. I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Arizona should jump into the 15-20 range. They play USC next week, then 3 weeks from now play UCLA. if they win all those games, they should be top 5.

bicranium Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Arizona should jump into the 15-20 range. Are you saying they should as in that's what's going to happen or they should as in that's what they deserve? Based on the precedent already set this season (unranked Mississippi State jumping to #14 after beating #8 LSU) they deserve to be at least 14th. I wouldn't be surprised if they barely make it into the top 20 though since they're not SEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 And, LSU was ranked lower than Oregon and hadn't play anyone. Based on Oregon's ranking, Arizona should vault into the top 10. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They havent been ranked thus far, so there is obviously a reason for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SEC bias is real. The only way they can redeem themselves is by giving Arizona the same respect they gave Mississippi State, and I'll eat my hat if that ends up being the case. I'd argue an Oregon win more impressive than an LSU win ANY day, almost ANY year in the past decade too. ...And it's only week 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicranium Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Maybe TAMU wasn't as good as their ranking showed. They nearly lost to Arkansas last week.. That's what I'm thinking. What have they done this year? They dismantled an overrated South Carolina that lost their starting RB during the game, played 3 absolutely atrocious teams (basically 3 bye weeks) then needed to come back down 2 TD's and win in OT to prevent Bielema from winning his first ever SEC game. Mississippi State may be a real good team but I'm still not completely sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
