Gotta get my head screwed on straight... I thought 'The Game' was in the 'Shoe', its not, its in the 'House'.
i don't get how teams are losing and not moving down in the standings? penn st lost 2 games in 3 weeks and are still in the top 10? i think Bama is still in the top 10. you lost, you should drop out of the top 10. sorry Nick.

RANK TEAM RECORD PREVIOUS. Wow Clemson goes to #2. LSU drops 1 spot. Utah passes Georgia and now in the top 4! Who the hell do they play? 1 Ohio State 12-0 (1) 2 Clemson 12-0 3 3 LSU 12-0 2 4 Utah 11-1 6 5 Georgia 11-1 5 6 Oklahoma 11-1 7 7 Baylor 11-1 10 8 Florida 10-2 8 9 Alabama 10-2 4 10 Wisconsin 10-2 12 11 Penn State 10-2 11 12 Auburn 9-3 16 13 Oregon 10-2 13 14 Minnesota 10-2 9 15 Notre Dame 10-2 15 16 Michigan 9-3 14 17 Memphis 11-1 17 18 Iowa 9-3 20 19 Boise State 11-1 19 20 Appalachian State 11-1 21 21 Cincinnati 10-2 18 22 Navy 9-2 23 23 Oklahoma State 8-4 22 24 Kansas State 8-4 33 25 USC 8-4 25
So you would rank Memphis, Boise State and Appalacian State ahead of Alabama? Those are all 1 loss teams.
Jesus Christ Lyman of course not. I'm talking Minnesota and Penn St. And who does Utah play to be ranked 4th? Auburn has 3 losses and is ranked 12th? That's what I'm talking about.
There are only 8 teams left with a record of 11-1 or better. So, at least 2 teams with 2 losses will end up in the top 10. You pointed out that Alabama lost twice and even said, "sorry, Nick". Therefore it was reasonable for me to conclude you don't think Alabama belongs in the top 10. And, OBTW, Utah plays in a tougher conference than Clemson. So, your point is? Spoiler: Guess What ? They do.
The NCAA coaching carousel has just handed us our first real surprise of the season. The Washington Huskies announced that head coach Chris Petersen will step down following the team’s bowl game. Defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake will take over as head coach, and Petersen will assume an advisory role with the program. “I’ll be a Husky for life, but now is the right time for me to step away from my head coaching duties, and recharge,” Petersen said in the statement announcing the move. Petersen made his name going 92-12 at Boise State before jumping to Washington, where he went 54-26 and made them nationally relevant. He posted three 10-win seasons, reaching the College Football Playoff in 2016. Petersen’s move comes on the heels of a rather underwhelming campaign that saw the team go 7-5 after being ranked No. 13 in the preseason AP poll. Petersen is still only 55, which is young in coaching terms. That, and the fact that he mentioned a desire to “recharge” in announcing the move, suggests he could be coaching again sooner rather than later.
Utah can certainly make the playoffs if Wisconsin beats Ohio State -or- Virginia beats Clemson. But . . . They would first have to beat Oregon in the PAC 12 Championship Game this Friday.
Honestly, Alabama has done jack shit. I personally do have Memphis above them. They have beaten a bunch of solid teams that are ranked, albeit near the bottom. Alabama's best wins are 7-5 Texas A&M and 7-5 Southern Miss. Oregon is in the same boat but with worse losses. EVERY single 2-loss team I have in front has done more as well. So much better that "they are still good, they are Bama" can't be put into consideration if you actually care about results. Auburn has 3 losses but (even ignoring it is H2H) the wins vs Alabama and Oregon are infinitely better than what those 2 teams have done. Boise only beat Air Force and lost to BYU. With the rest of the schedule I can't see them jumping above Alabama (or Oregon) yet. I personally only went to top 20 but for the next 5 they'd probably be, in no particular order, Virginia, Cincinnati, USC, Kansas State and Appalachian State. My Top 20 1. Ohio State 2. LSU 3. Clemson 4. Georgia 5. Oklahoma 6. Utah 7. Wisconsin 8. Penn State 9. Notre Dame 10. Memphis 11. Baylor 12. Florida 13. Minnesota 14. Auburn 15. Alabama 16. Oregon 17. Boise State 18. Michigan 19. Iowa 20. Navy
