Up to #11 in AP, up to #10 in the Coaches poll

ND and Miami bumped by the mighty SEC??
I can't see ND over us if we win @UL with our only loss to a top-15 (top-10) Clemson.

I posted this earlier...
5 SEC
3 BIG
1 GO5
1 BIG 12
2 ACC

Only if **** Face or LSU win vs one of the big boys will they get 6 in.
Bama/UGA/Texas hold serve we good.

The 1 loss would have to be in the ACCCG.
If we have a rematch with Louisville, you're right.
If we smoke UL and lose a tight one to Clemson, we're in. Especially if Clemson climbs into the top-10.
1 more win, no CG for ND, and a better loss is the way i see it.

In other options...
Scale of 1-10, what are the odds uF pulls one out of their *** and beats on of the 5 teams ranked in the top-13.
I figured you'd be the guy to give us a solid, unbiased answer 🤣

Ha!

I think everything depends on when/if all the Gator players decide to quit on the season. We've already seen it with F$U, they were TERRIBLE against SMU.

If the Gators fire Slingblade soon, and the players are "told" (even if it's a lie) that they will be getting Kiffin, then they might play harder and surprise a team or two.

But if Slingblade lingers, and every week it's more "we have to work on that more" responses, I think that the Gator players will mail in the rest of the season.

This is all very silly.

Last year, there were 4 two-loss teams in the top-12 of the final pre-playoff FBS rankings.

There won't be FOUR such two-loss teams going in over a one-loss Miami. If Miami gets a 2nd loss in the ACC champ game to a one-loss (to GA) Clemson, they won't pass on a two-loss Miami for a two-loss Big 10/12 team that didn't even make their championship game.

maybe not but are you really implying we should be higher than bama?

do you think UGA beating clemson (who looks really good right now) 38-3, and beating Kentucky (just beat ole miss) is comparable to virginia tech or USF?

it'll sort itself out in a few weeks, but I think our ranking is fair

No I never said that. Please show me where I did.

I was simply saying Bama has no business being #1

And it's not just the Top 12 teams. It's entirely possible that anywhere from 1 to 4 conference champions could come from outside the Top 12 (though 4 would be incredibly unlikely).

And the CFP Committee does not have to follow the rankings. As they did NOT when they vaulted Alabama and Texas over F$U last year.

And neither of those two points even take into account the wild card known as "Notre Dame".

I think people are forgetting they are making THEIR OWN ranking.

I'm talking about the committee rankings. They were:

Michigan (13-0)
Washington (13-0)
Texas (12-1)
Bama (12-1)
FSU (13-0)
Georgia (12-1)
OSU (11-1)
Oregon (11-2)
Missouri (10-2)
Penn St (10-2)
Mississippi (10-2)
Oklahoma (10-2)

LSU had 3 losses at 13.. My point is that EVERY major conference team with no more than 2 losses finished in the committee's top 12. (SMU had 2 losses). Yes, there are foibles about the conference champions. But a two-loss Miami team has a very real chance of making it.

Yes. And two of those teams are now in the SEC and another two are in the Big 10. The ONLY CURRENT non-SEC/non-Big-10 school in there was F$U.

This year, you will have a Big 12 team and a G5 team. Plus, possibly, Notre Dame.

Definitely moving up 1 next week above loser of Ohio state Oregon

But penn state and Texas could also lose, making next week be likely 5th but potential high as 3
