Toss in #8 and #9. When's the last time so many in the Top 9 have fallen so late in the season? And most to teams they should have beaten fairly easily.

Just saw an answer to part of my question. 1985 was the last time that #2, #3 and #4 lost on the same weekend.

Bama

OSU

Louisville

Clemson

Washington

Wisconsin

Oklahoma

Penn St

Wow. When's the last time only 1 SEC team was top 10?

 

[LA Vol]

Bama
Clemson
OSU
Michigan
Louisville
Washington
Interchangeable after that

 

[85SugarVol]

Nope. They wouldn't finish top 6 in the East.

Can Harbaugh even coach in the East?

 

[Aesius]

Two more NCs and Saban can retire. Surely that will be enough.

His window for trying the NFL one more time is closing. Not sure he even cares at this point. But it's something Pete Carroll and even Harbaugh (who definitely goes back at some point) will always have over him.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Michigan with no significant injuries. Smh 😂😂

We watched Cam Sutton's impact today in his first game back. Foreman as well(better than any CB on the roster not named Sutton).

That was as bad as Butch versus SCAR. Fighting Harbaughs 😂😂😂😂

I hate our 9-3 season! Rabble rabble rabble

No way would he step into that coaching gauntlet.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Not football related but NBC has lost the dump button on Dave Chapelle.

Seriously he's saying a bunch of stuff with no dump.

Hilarious

He's been eating some of that peanut butter too. He used to be a bean pole.

 

[Appalachiamuck]

Would be nice to finish 11-1 and healthy. But we would still run into the buzzsaw that is Bama. No going is getting through Bama and to the playoffs from the SEC this year. Even a fully healthy Vols team.

I completely disagree. Fully healthy we are one of the best in the country easily.

Top 10 for sure. But not as good as bama

 

[Appalachiamuck]

Championship teams do NOT lose games like...oh

Ohio State beat them 42-13 last year. It will be worse

IMO, all he wants is to beat Bear Bryant's record. He'll tie Bear this year, then want one more to go out in front and cement his legacy. Bama will pay him whatever he wants, so money is a nonfactor. I think he'll want to go out on top with a NC. But who knows?

1 Bama
2 Ohio State

4 Michigan
5 Clemson
6 Wisconsin
7 Penn State
8 Washington
9 Oklahoma
10 Colorado

Buffs fixing to shock the world.

Actually they've already shocked me. They're solid for the first time in forever.

 

[Appalachiamuck]

Top 10 for sure. But not as good as bama

I'm not gonna go full BB, but we took them to the wire at their place last year, our O is even better & I'd expect a fully healthy Shoop defense to be very good.

 

[Appalachiamuck]

And Hurts can't throw...

 

[chavisut]

Our offense has been worse.

 

[snowvols]

We might Crack top 25 now. Barely beating scrubs, UGA and UF turning out to be terrible teams, and getting blown out by Bama, and losing to USC is not a recipe for a top 25 ranking. We'll probably finish the year having beaten 0 ranked teams.

There are 3 loss teams ranked that have zero wins over teams in the top 25 like FSU. LSU will be ranked in the top 25 and there will be no teams in the current top 25 that they have beaten.

Lots of 2 loss teams in the top 25 that will have zero wins vs current top 25 like WSU, Colorado, OU, and WVa.

Arkansas, UNC, and Va Tech should all fall out.

 

[AV_12]

They're going to blow us out again in ATL.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I'm curious how others feel about Alabama. I was having a discussion with my brother and he thinks Alabama is on the up and up. I think they're huge cheaters. I think it's a culture at Bama. Don't think Saban personally gets involved but players are payed, I think PEDS are rampant. I think.they get away with pretty much anything. I realize no team is squeaky clean but I think they take it to a different level. Am I just a conspiracy theorist?

Clemson still has that victory over Louisville to fall back on and will be the champions of the division they both play in.

That is what I think it will look like Tuesday. As of now, I think both make the CFP.
