As much as I hate to say it, that Buckeye defense is a thing of beauty.

Next week Alabama plays a nobody.
Then it plays a 3 loss (albeit primary Rival) Auburn.
Absent chaos from the rest of the contenders the Tide probably falls from five based on SOS alone.

But that has nothing to do with the facts this year.

Here's a few facts for you:

Three loss Auburn beat #6 Oregon. And their three losses were to the #1, #4, and #10 teams in the nation, by an average of only 7 points per game. So their metrics actually look very good.

Making them out to sound like they're the same as the 7-3 Indiana Who?siers is patently fatuous.
Indiana is not ranked. No one is comparing them to Auburn.

You did.
No.

But the point being made is that there are 3 loss teams that are eh, and then there are 3 loss teams that aren't eh.
Which will be a factor should Indiana beat Michigan and end 9-3 with two of its losses to tOSU and PSU. Auburn would have to beat Alabama to finish 9-3.  A loss to the ‘ Tide would leave them at 8-4 It’s quality win over Oregon might be the deciding factor to finish higher than Indiana.
The deciding factor ought to be the other team IU lost to.

By my scenario you are right. Jim tends to roam all over the place in his 'thoughts'.

Kedon Slovis's mom positively screams Scottsdale.

Entertaining game. I imagine Trojan throwing things at the screen every time Brian Griese says USC should keep Helton.

Four straight years of classic games between Penn State and Ohio State.

Michigan needs to step up next week to compete after 7 years of futility.

Harvard and Yale played football today for the 136th time.
The only notification bulletin I got from ESPN about the game was to announce there was a delay in play when students from BOTH universities stormed the field to protest
Climate Change.
LOL.
BTW. Yale won 53-40 in overtime and leads the series 69-60-9.
Just so you know.

Really? There was not a moment of the game I wasn't thinking something like, THE may give this game away, but PSU cannot take it for themselves.

I'm sure they think they made a difference.

Well the Fightin Hermites put the Ducks hope of a playoff berth to the bottom of the pond.

There's still hope for Bama yet. Okie keeps alive too. Colorado will be fighting for their bowl lives when they meet Utah this Saturday. But I don't hold out too much hope they'll pull of the upset in Uteville.

That leaves Oregon to knock off the Utes and Baylor to avenge their loss to the Sooners.




But what if Minnesota knocks off OSU in the Big Ten CG?(Pffffttt, bahahahaha!) Knew I couldn't type that with a straight keyboard. And hey, Missagain might beat OSU.

Given how they have played this month it would not surprise me if Okie lost Bedlam.

So... Okie loses to Okie State and the beats Baylor. Oregon beats Utah. Minnesota beats THE. Georgia beats LSU. Chaos!

Sad!

I couldn’t figure why Jimbo Baggins didn’t go for it on 4th and 11 unless he just wanted to beat the spread, I know success is unlikely but as Herm has said (and demonstrated yesterday):  “You play to win the game).

Noticed C.H.U.D.cycodone not very insightful in booth, but it beats being fired for cause.

And Young definitely put a 5 star SUPERLOCK on the Heisman, I mean nobody else is even in the discussion really, when I try to make something spring to mind the mind recoils in horror, ikr??
