I was wrong about half the stuff I said but unsurprising haha.

Scary thought: with Alabama and Miami both losing, what if Clemson loses too? #1 Oklahoma

Oklahoma is my least favorite team CURRENTLY. Plus, where do they put Ohio State if they beat Wisconsin?

I said Ohio St. would somehow get in.

Here is another Ohio St. story

It will be very interesting to see the next rankings, I think the top 4 will be the current 3-6 just moved up to 1-4.
The interesting part is where they put Alabama and Miami. ND lost to Stanford

The current rankings ?? Next week

1   Alabama     11-0     1   Clemson     11-1

Yup... Ohio state will most likely beat Wisconsin unfortunately. Maybe not, we'll see. Currently Clemson and auburn LOOK like the two best teams. Some teams aren't playing as well currently and/or are being affected by losing late in the season vs early.

Alabama could find a way in still if Clemson or Oklahoma loses.

haunted · « **Reply #154 on:** November 26, 2017, 06:13:14 AM »

I think Alabama and Miami will be shifted down too and the others slide up, yeah. But they could be silly and put Oklahoma at 1. They'll probably have Ohio state below Alabama but above Miami. And USC could be above penn state even though I'd disagree with that.

The playoff is straightforward now.

SEC and ACC champions are locked in. Seeds can vary but if Clemson wins they'll be the 1 seed.

If Oklahoma wins they're in. If they don't then Alabama's in.

If Ohio state wins then I think they could give the big 10's spot to Alabama. Despite how much they always sneak Ohio state into the playoffs they won't do it in front of 1 loss Alabama the one team the committee may love more.
If Wisconsin wins, they're in.

If Wisconsin and Oklahoma both lose, then Alabama and Ohio state are both in. Which could suck because the 2 sec teams could be seeded 2 and 3 and have to play each other first.

Well the saints lost today, and Carolina's offense played like shit but add a punt return TD and a Luke Kuechly fumble recovery TD and there ya have it. I really dislike Cam Newton. In post-game interviews you can tell he's legitimately trying to be professional and not arrogant... but he still comes across like a dick head. He can't be a normal person. It's not possible. Following that they showed the Matt Ryan interview and wow, what a contrast. And it's not Ryan, it's just cam to literally every other quarterback. The guy is a douche, and Carolina's offense is playing like shit. My favorite player in the league is Kuechly and he's the main reason I even keep of with Carolina at this point. I half-way hope they lose to new orleans next week.

Mississippi State's Dan Mullen becomes new coach at Florida
http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21572374/florida-gators-make-mississippi-state-dan-mullen-new-head-coach

I think he is a good choice, he has a track record developing QB's and was the offensive coordinator when he was at UF previously.
He went 69-46 at Miss St., he should be able to do better at UF since he has a better talent pool to pull from in FL.
I think he ran a pretty clean program at Miss St. also, I don't remember any big problems there.

So many coaching changes. I just wish UNC would make one.

Now there's rumors of Jimbo Fisher going to Texas a&m.

haunted · « **Reply #158 on:** November 30, 2017, 07:54:33 AM »

Wow. Apparently the AD and booster president hate jimbo fisher but the chancellor still likes him. FSU started to pursue Oregon's coach but Oregon offered him a 20 million dollar contract to stay. Jimbo certainly appears to be leaving FSU for Texas a&m, and FSU will probably REALLY regret pissing him off later on. 3 top recruits decommited from FSU last night.

haunted · « **Reply #159 on:** November 30, 2017, 08:30:39 AM »

Now Les Miles is interested in Tennessee. They're probably gonna jump on it.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #160 on:** November 30, 2017, 02:12:58 PM »

I mean I can kinda (more like "just barely") see why the suits at FSU wouldn't want Jimbo Fisher around anymore. There's been LOTS of discipline problems with football players under him. But still... the dude brought them a National Title 3 or 4 years ago, and his overall record is higher than .750. What the fuck more could you want, and what the fuck could've gone so wrong in the last 3 or 4 years to warrant firing him?

I don't get it. Wrong move at the wrong time. Noles fuckin' up.

Sgt. Dick · « **Reply #161 on:** November 30, 2017, 06:59:25 PM »

Maybe some of those top FSU recruits will go to UF

Tennessee is fucked

Sgt. Dick · « **Reply #163 on:** December 01, 2017, 07:10:10 PM »

Jimbo is off to Texas A&M with the richest contract in CFB history - 10 years, 75 mil guaranteed.

|iR|Focalor · « **Reply #164 on:** December 02, 2017, 06:50:46 PM »

How bout them Dawgs? SEC Champs!

Finally. I don't see how the fuck we went those 4 years with a QB like Aaron Murray and didn't get one single SEC Championship, then we get a no-name freshman QB as a backup and go 11-1 and win the conference title.

Are you shitting me? Kirby Smart has successfully made me a believer. Dude knows his shit. He's a craftier wittier coach than Richt ever was, definitely. Richt never threw in quick plays just to force the other team into spending a T.O. like Smart does, which is a tactic he learned at Alabama. It's the little things like that which can sometimes make all the difference in a game.

That game had me throwing me shit all over the bar, almost got the cops called on me, lol. Auburn was holding on just about every other play and NEVER NEVER NEVER got fucking called for it, but Georgia got called for every little tiny everything they did. I was foaming at the mouth. But the managed to stomp them anyway. Sweet revenge. And I love how the post-game analyst mentioned that "Auburn got the tiger crap stomped out of them."
