College football week 14 thread: ATLiens

Alabama losing to Utah as well, but an Oregon loss to Liberty with the worst SOS in the NCAA? Whew.

 

That was half the point of going to 12.

 

What is the over/under on how long Prime is at Colorado? Another season and a half? He leaves with his kid?

 

Way behind on pages right now, so I hope this is a d_b x 10.

 

I will say - except for a few WWTT? choices - the preseason polls held up pretty well.
2023 AP Poll College Football Rankings, Preseason - ESPN

And Jimbo Fisher wins the annual "Pre-season ranking to Fired" Award.

 

You can prohibit polls and rankings until
Week 4 or 6 or whatever you want, but whenever you set the date to begin issuing rankings, the tied teams will be largely sorted out by reputation.

 

Is there evidence of a team getting left out because "they started too low in the polls"?

The two memorable screw jobs (TCU, FSU) involved teams that had elevated into playoff position --- only to be dropped back at the last minute.

 

I still say TCU is the worst screwing.
They beat Iowa State 55-3.
Not 16-6 or anything like that.
55-3. And dropped them…..not one spot, but two spots. From 3-5,

 

If I'm a pollster, I'm putting Bama and Georgia in the top five next year because - they've delivered for the past five years. And you can say the same for Michigan and Ohio State. Consistently. With different players. Those programs aren't "paper tigers." I still say though - that the quality of their opponents is a little uninspiring. Bont in non-conference and conference play.

 

Maybe they should have beaten them . . . 65-7.

 

As soon as Mike Mcarthy loses in the playoffs and gets fired by Jerry.
