I'm fine where they are at right now. I do think Alabama is playing better probably anyone else, but Clemson has been outstanding as well. I'd agree with Clemson being #1 and Alabama #2.

I respect your opinions on everything around here. You are level headed and seem like a good person.

In all seriousness how does Alabama deserve their ranking? What have they done to warrant a top 2 ranking right now? Come Tuesday they may not have a win against a ranked CFP team. Arguably the best team they played they lost to at home.

The way Oklahoma has been playing I'd put them at number 3.

If everyone keeps winning I imagine the final four will be Clemson, Bama, Oklahoma and big ten winner.
 
MSU will make it as long as they win out, IMO.

I know it won't happen cause everyone thinks Bama is awesome, but honestly after this week none of Bama's wins will have come against a top 20 ranked team. Bama's schedule is looking weaker by the week. Yes the SEC is tough and there are several quality teams, but there's really only 1 dominant team this year. If Florida loses to FSU, that hurts Bama's schedule as well. It won't happen, but based on their wins and their loss, Bama should get left out if it comes down to a 1 loss MSU, BAMA, OU, ND, or Baylor.

I don't see how the committee can leave a 1 loss Big 12 team out again this year.

But honestly, Notre Dame likely gets knocked out or contention next week @ Stanford anyways, making this a moot point.

I think right now, Bama along with Clemson are playing the best out of anybody in the country. The defense has been outstanding and Derrick Henry is looking like a Heisman winner. They had one bad game. Turned the ball over five time against Ole Miss and lost by six. Bama cannot help the fact that LSU is doing badly right now. They still have one of the toughest schedules played against of anyone this season. Right now, I'd have Clemson at #1, Bama at 2, Iowa 3, and Notre Dame 4.

But really, as long as Bama is in the top four, I don't care where they are. Just take care of business. Starting next Saturday at Auburn.
 
I just can't in good faith put Iowa anywhere near the top 4. After that beating UT gave them in last year's bowl game. There is no way that slow ass team is that much better than they were when we beat them.

I also struggle to put Michigan St in, because really they should be a 2 loss team if not for a crazy play. I guess my current top 4 would be:

1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. Oklahoma
4. Notre Dame

MSU does have a very good chance to get in, because they get to play a very overrated Iowa team who they will likely beat easily.

Extremely doubtful FSU let's him leave. They'll throw more money at him.

Not necessarily. He could need a break and there are other good coaches out there. But it's hard to win with no offensive line.

They were just in the title game just 4 years ago. And LSU has lost more than 3 games only 3 times his entire tenure. And they've never lost more than 5 games.

They're still a fairly young team, with most of their key players not draft eligible. If Hawkins stays (which it appears he might) that should go a long ways to securing the the OL for next year.

I it would be a super attractive job with a team still loaded with the talent. But you aren't likely to find a better coach than Miles. Not to mention the payouts it would take to fire him and his coaches would be enormous.

You know, I have all the respect in the world for Georgia Southern because I know they came to try to win a ballgame tonight, unlike Georgia. And I really don't give a **** that we won or how good the disney dawgs or anyone else say Georgia Southern is, but this was embarrassing.

Let y'all off the hook with a predictable play in Ot, terrible call by the OC. Knew it was going to be close. The fumbled punt sealed it
