So, we should jump USC and Auburn in the rankings. Any other possibilities?
- Thread starter Class of 67
- Start date
Maybe if Georgia gets crushed we might jump them, but probably no other chances. And UCF may jump us. Probably come in around 8.
Don't think so, but Big Ten should have nos. 5, 6, and 7 in final rankings.
With the usual SEC worship, beating Auburn is like beating the Patriots.
Finishing in the top 7 would be great. But more importantly is where we start next year.
I can't see UCF jumping us. They would have been ahead of us before if their undefeated record outweighed our season performance.
But now they will have a win over Auburn and you know how everyone loves Auburn.
They are the best 4 loss team in the country.Heck,.not sure we jump 4-loss Auburn.
Let's be real. Penn State would be on a 23-game winning streak if it could have closed out 3 wins that they had in hand, but lost all 3 by 7 total points. Despite that, the polls will drool all over UCF and frikkin' Notre Dame. I expect maybe a #8 finish.
Notre Dame won. They may jump into the top five. Three losses for them is like one for everyone else.

They suck!
The top four will remain ahead of Penn State, as will Ohio State and Wisconsin. I'm not sure what will happen to UCF. So, at best, with the help of a semifinal blowout, maybe Penn State's No. 5. At worst, no lower than No. 8.
I like Seven. Oh, it's got cachet, baby. Cachet up the yin-yang.
They will...
But, Penn State has been a better team this year.
Actually, since the UM drubbing, they have been better than every other big ten team
Absolutely. Look at the point differentials in our games vs theirs. And we didn't get blown out by anyone since that game and certainly not a team as pedestrian as Iowa.
We'll be 7 or 8 now..
I love UCF winning--only strengthens the arugment of a large playoff

Back-to-back #7 finishes in the rankings.
22-5 over the last 2 seasons.
5 losses:
1 blowout
3 by 3 points
- 2 of the 3 on the last play of the game, as time runs out
- 1 of the 3 we were throwing into the end zone very late with a chance to win.
1 by 1 point via an incredible 4th Qtr comeback.
Solid, exciting wins over Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, and a win for the ages at Iowa. Dominating wins over other teams as expected.
All in all, a great 2 seasons, with every reason to expect these results to merely be the bar for the next 4 to 5 seasons.
My god, I love it so.

PSU would jump the Tide, I think. The Tide barely got in as the fourth seed, and would have three losses if Clemson beats them. I think they would end up at No. 7, or No. 8 if Clemson crushes them.
Bama could fall but all the way to 7/8...not sure on that. Maybe if Georgia and Bama lost so the SEC is less highly thought of
Bama is currently 11-1. How do they end up with 3 losses?
Bad loss counts as two. Except if you're Ohio State then it's .75.
