caseyctsv Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 In that scenario it would be... SEC Winner Notre Dame Clemson Oklahoma I don’t disagree, but can you imagine leaving out a 1 loss Big 10 champion? I just think there is too much money involved. OSU needs to not only win the remaining games but do it convincingly - I think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don’t disagree, but can you imagine leaving out a 1 loss Big 10 champion? I just think there is too much money involved. OSU needs to not only win the remaining games but do it convincingly - I think they will. I think Ohio State is better than all of those teams except MAYBE Alabama. Clemson gets in because they're the defending national champs. Oklahoma gets innover OSU because of Head to Head. Notre Dame gets in because their a huge ratings pull and a media darling. ND is likely a 1 year rental, they could easily win 7-8 games next year while OSU will be national title contenders again year after year so they're gonna give ND the spotlight while they have the chance. Don't worry though, that's not how it'll play out. Teams will lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 They will not leave out a 1 loss B1G champ. I know Lauren is salivating at that thought, but it will not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 We’re in uncharted territory with the Crimson Tide. We’ve had teams in Power 5 conferences play very well but not get much love in the opponent-adjusted ratings due to a relatively weak schedule, but I don’t recall a year in which my system has valued a Power 5 schedule so poorly this deep in the year. Alabama has played the 120th-toughest schedule to date. An elite team would have been expected to lose only 0.18 times on average against their schedule to date. The only teams with a worse schedule strength rating to date are Louisiana Lafayette, Idaho, Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, Southern Mississippi, Texas State, Massachusetts, Western Kentucky, UAB, and UTSA. Woof. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/fei-ratings/2017/fei-week-9-ratings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) The problem I have with Notre Dame is the same problem people had with Baylor or TCU a couple years back. When it comes down to it the lack of a conference or conference championship should hurt them. Why should an 11-1 team or even 12-0 go ahead of an 12-1 OSU or Bama/Georgia that was 1 more win and a conference championship under their belt.

oh8sti Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Penn State 4. Clemson This will be the final ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 So a B1G rematch and a 2016 championship rematch? It’s more likely that scenario than having 2 SEC schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Bama Ohio st Georgia Notre dame Those will be the final for. The only division to get two schools will be sec. Acc PAC and big 12 will all have two loss champions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 We can make two bets. We both agree bama and OSU make it. I'll bet the three and four spot and a second bet that b1g doesn't get two teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although his bias is a bit over the top and his trolling is weak most of the time, at least he still posts in here. I remember like 2-3 years ago this thread used to be awesome.

Acc PAC and big 12 will all have two loss champions I can see them weaseling Clemson in there somehow and dropping the Bulldogs. From a purely profits standpoint, an OSU - ND championship would be madness. Actually, how could they have Georgia AND Bama? They play in the regular season, they'll play in the SEC championship. I don't think people will want to see them play 3x. everyone likes Dabo, let's scoot Clemson up there, yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
