Big 12 ouch! Two one-loss teams ahead of their top team.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Big 12 go kaboom

 

[NavinRJohnson]

Big 12 schedules are back loaded so it makes sense.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Like that two AAC teams are ahead of Toledo including a one-loss Temple. Almost a guarantee that a one-loss AAC gets in over Toledo.
And, almost impossible for a one-loss Toledo to get in.

Not trying to be snarky here but I sure hope you listened to me back on Oct 4th. I grabbed Clemson big at 22-1 to win the NC. Did you board the Nostical train?

As it turns out I mentioned it a lot.

Clemson will win the National Championship.

DeShaun Watson will lead Clemson to the National Champioship (write that down)---Fournette will win the Heisman ---and Newsome will lead UConn to a Bowl...

Clemson will be the National Champion. Some say they are overrrated. No way. And if Fournette stumbles, DeShaun Watson wins the Heisman.

Hope you heeded my word in preseason --or even a few weeks in--and grabbed Clemson at 22-1 to win NC. It was a gift.

This Clemson team is incredible. It's a sure bet for the final four and my early pick for the NC.

Clemson at No. 1 is a joke.

They have a single signature win and are playing in the weakest P5 conference.

Obviously only week 1, but this is a joke right out of the gate.

To be fair you did also say that UConn was going to win every game...

So can I mark you down as not aboard my train?

 

[specialisthusky]

Memphis at 13 is higher than I expected. It will be interesting if ole miss wins out and bama beats LSU this weekend. I would think Memphis could have a shot in this scenario assuming the committee wouldn't jump them over an unbeaten memphis. Might need help from pac 12 as well but it will be interesting to watch.

 

[NYUConn]

Ha. I think they are a very good team, but not the No. 1 seed.

My rankings would be:

1) Ohio State
2) LSU
3) Michigan State
4) Clemson

 

[noeynox]

I,hope Memphis runs the table and things break right for them to be in the conversation. Only,because we don't play them.

 

[whaler11]

Do you get paid on Clemson bets for the first poll? If so congrats. If not they haven't done anything but blow out mediocre teams.

 

[gioff23]

That, and we'd get a slice of the CFP pie. We could use the revenue boost - and it should more than help offset the incredulous feeling that frigging Memphis crashed the party. But, alas, it won't happen.

 

[huskypantz]

So what is the dream scenario to shake up independent ND? 2 SEC, 1 ACC and ND to the playoffs? B1G, P12 and B12 flip out?

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Putting money on Dabo not finding a way to choke at the finish line is brave..not very wise, but brave.

This ranking tells me a Big 12 team needs total chaos in order to make it in the top 4. Even if the schedules weren't so back-loaded, the lack of a championship game will haunt them.

 

[UConnFranklin]

Will be interesting to see what happens if Ole Miss goes unbeaten the rest of the way and wins the SEC. Does it make the top 4 and get invited to the national tournament? But what of its lose to and Undefeated Memphis? In that scenario does Memphis get invited to the National Tournament over a Power Five school???

Love to see that scenario play out....

 

[B1GEast]

The Big 12 must be seething, they better start looking for 2 teams to expand, Baylor and TCU that low is just crazy

 

[RedStickHusky]

The lack of a championship is one less resume bullet where all the other conferences get a power win down the stretch. It's such an obvious disadvantage that I can't believe their attitude is 'we'll see if it hurts us again"....

 

[jfuchs91]

For what it's worth, there are more American teams ranked than ACC ones.

 

[husky210]

Just looked at Baylors and Tcus schedules. Anyone care to guess what signature wins are? They had one p5 non conference game between the two of them.

 

[whaler11]

Baylor or TCU will be fine if they win out. Heck so will Oklahoma State.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

They are making it up as they go along. Alabama has absolutely no business being in the Top 4. Why is 1 loss Alabama ranked higher than 1 loss Florida? It's not like Alabama has dominated mediocre teams like Tennessee and Arkansas. Clemson has 1 really good win, and then has beaten a bunch of teams that will finish with 6 or 7 wins.

I know there is a long time for a Big 12 team to play its way into the Top 4, but the committee is clearly saying that the name on the front of the jersey carries a lot of weight.

Why bother playing the games?

 

[TerryD]

So what is the dream scenario to shake up independent ND? 2 SEC, 1 ACC and ND to the playoffs? B1G, P12 and B12 flip out?

How/why would this shake up an independent ND?

 

[Nostical]

No doubt. For all the conversation about fairness, there's no way in these first few years of the playoff there will be anything but a super-marquee matchup. TCU types ain't gonna cut it.
