Poll - Does Ohio State drop below Tennessee on Tuesday Night?

[Illinoisvolfan2]

They should. That was a very ugly loss. But I won’t be surprised if they don’t. People love OSU

Thoughts?

I personally believe that the committee will penalize them for losing to a 6-5 team at home as 20 point favorites.

They also beat 2 top ten teams

SMU takes Miami seed as ACC leader. No change

Clemson vs SMU ACC championship

 

[deezvols]

Knowing the committee, they’ll keep OSU above us based on the brand alone and use the “rivalry game” excuse.

 

[tricky13]

If they don’t, committee will have some explaining to do. Georgia dropped from 3 to 12 when they lost to Ole Miss.
Ole Miss > Michigan

 

[Oldblood]

Hate to say it but based on the rankings, OSU has a better resume than us. We have one ranked win and our best other win is probably Florida at home or a road win at Vandy or OK (6-6 teams). I believe we’ve beaten two teams total that had winning records.

Not these people.

I think its funny how everyone thinks that the guy in charge of the CFP poll, who is the AD of Michigan will discount his school no matter thier record, and drop Ohio State that far. He's going to protect the B1G ....my guess they drop to like 6 maybe even 5. Only team that drops below us will be Miami.

 

[Hunter10139]

My bet is no.

Should they? Yes
Will they? No

Why? Bc the same damn reason big 10 has so many teams so high. Rigged rankings.

 

[allvols4life]

Should... imho, no acc/ b1g, or big 12 team with 1 loss shouldn't be ranked ahead of a 2 loss SEC team. PERIOD!

 

[UTwild82]

No because they are Ohio State. Ohio State and Bama will get every benefit of the doubt always.

Our loss to Arkansas is a painful thing.

 

[BanditVol]

I guess it depends if you think Arkansas is a worse loss than Michigan. I think they are at least comparable, but Michigan is a better "brand" than Arkansas.

I guess we will see.

 

[CNCVol88]

No. We still have a worst loss and they are the Bama of the B10. Plus it’s a pro B10 committee. They get the northern bias.

Arky at arky is not a worse loss than Michigan at home when you're a 20 points favorite.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

We'll get the 9 slot. No chance OSU falls that far,

Michigan is a terrible loss. They absolutely will drop that far. You're insane.

 

[SasquatchVFL]

Arky at arky is not a worse loss than Michigan at home when you're a 20 points favorite.

You maybe right. But do you think the CFP see’s it that way? I don’t think they do.

 

[zeppelin128]

They should drop below us, but I'll believe it when I see it.

"Michigan is a quality loss and Vandy is a bad win, Ohio remains ahead of Tennessee" or some such nonsense.

 

[nomads-11]

Possible? Yes. Doubtful? Yes.

 

[njvols]

They really should drop big time. OSU scored 10 against a very average Michigan team at home. Rivalry or not, it was a horrible performance.

I agree, but just don't know how they'll calibrate the wins over Oregon, IU, PSU, vs our wins over Bama, Florida, vs our loss of ARK vs Michigan, where I think Oregon and UGA kinda cancel each other. Our only chance is the recency of the L for OSU, but they have been riding top 3 all season...my guess is bias towards OSU (like Bama) wins out over Vols and we're going to Columbus...though I don't think it's right.
