Herbstreit's Top Four

[VolnJC]

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

If Sooners win out they would make it..didn't even mention FSU or Bama

Bammers pissed! Love it.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

The only saving grace of the playoff is simply being Alabama isn't enough to warrant being in the Top 4 at this point.

Alabama shouldn't even be ranked ahead of Florida. But the eye test was invented specifically for them and doesn't apply to the rest of college football.

As of right now, they shouldn't.

That's subject to change following this weekend.

Yeah but Alabama wins out they will definitely be in.

 

[TennFan]

I think Bama or LSU can beat Florida in the SECC.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I think it's pointless speculation right now. Most of the teams on the outside play the teams ahead of them. It will work itself out.

 

[bamawriter]

No real reason to mention Bama right now. There really isn't any discussion to be had. If Bama wins out, they're in; if they don't, they're out. Pretty simple.

Exactly. Same is true for FSU and TCU.

I imagine either would be favored versus UF.

 

[spankadelphia]

I think Florida would beat Bama. Bama can't shove the football up your ass and drive 90 yards down the field like they always have, they need big plays and short fields to score points. Florida won't give them any of that.

And Bama's defense would probably have a great time playing against Treon Harris.

Harris would escape the pass rush and hit Callaway for a TD pass or two. That's where they did most of their damage against LSU. Grier would have gotten killed but Harris' mobility gave them a chance. Same applies for Bama.

Herby was close but obviously Bammers aren't pissed anymore.

Harris would escape the pass rush and hit Callaway for a TD pass or two. That's where they did most of their damage against LSU. Grier would have gotten killed but Harris' mobility gave them a chance. Same applies for Bama.

And then he came right back with a pretty bland game against UGA, of all defenses. (8/19, 155 yds, 1 TD)

You might be giving him too much credit/props.

Agreed.

 

[SleepingGiantVols]

Herbstreit doesn't like the SEC, guarantee as he put LSU at number 3, he started feeling nauseous. He has his hand up THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY'S ass. I hate him for that reason.

Treon's currently lighting it up against Vanderbilt in the first half, though
