12/1 AP POLL - UT #6

HERE IS THE SEEDING IF THE CFP USED THESE RANKINGS


View attachment 702365

ND will be the 5th seed. PSU will drop when they lose to Oregon. The only question left is will the 2 losers next Saturday drop below UT?

I'm just glad the 12 team playoff proved the regular season was inconsequential, just like the experts said it would.

So were rooting for the other UT in the SEC championship?

You mean TU I hope. This is our conference.

Most people would agree Penn St and Indiana are both complete frauds. Indiana plummeted in the rankings when they lost to OSU even though Indiana only has 1 loss.

If PSU loses to Oregon, especially by double digits, it's hard for me to understand why they wouldn't fall further simply becuse they played Oregon in the title game and not the regular season. If they had played them in the regular season and lost we wouldn't even have this argument. Penn St best win of the year is over #22 Illinois. How can you compare a 2 loss PSU to a 2 loss Tennessee and say PSU deserves a higher ranking? PSU would have played exactly 2 good teams and lost to them both.

Just because it's a title game should not matter a loss is a loss and always has been. That goes for PSU and Georgia too IMO

If PSU and or Georgia lose their games and Tennessee is not hosting a playoff game then this whole system is a sham. Because if you throw that on top of teams like Boise St and SMU get to just leap ahead to a bye week then this means pretty much the only way to get a host game is to play in a title game or be Notre Dame. That's BS

Ask any Indiana fan what their best win is this year and they will change the subject. They are total frauds.

If we end up the 8 seed playing the 9, I would like to see Penn St beating Oregon and becoming the 1 seed. That would put us going against Penn St in the quarter final game instead of playing Oregon. None of this will matter if we lose, but something to ponder.

Last week had OSU going to Arizona State. We are not that much further east than Columbus.

Same distance

Why is Alabama with three losses even mentioned in the top 12?
DAMN I wish Auburn could have beaten them Saturday.
They probably wouldn't fall below 15 with a 4th loss.

Solid move upward in the polls.

Ohio State and Ryan Day may go nuclear on each other if they are one and done this year.

It would truly be a beautiful thing to watch unfold.

ASU is not getting a home game no matter what happens. Where do people come up with this stuff?

I am kind of thinking if the rankings come out and we are sitting at 8, it might be better to root for Penn State and Georgia Wins.... I think in that scenario all 4 of those teams stay in front of us, we stay as the 8 seed, but Penn state would then be our 1 seed second round game. That at a neutral site wouldn't scare me.

Hate to see it of course but in a weird way it helps us. We can say we have a win over a playoff team.
