Oregon is No.1, they don't have a loss, the Committee gets this right. I'm not a college football expert either, but for starters, I'd see that Georgia beat Texas, 30-15, in Texas. I would see that Texas does have 1 more L than Texas does. But I would notice that possibly the much more difficult schedule Georgia went through, compared to the Texas navigated, could have something to do with it, and have Georgia above Texas. Miami is taking care of themselves.

Agreed. This could just be an Altman team doing what his teams always do. Get better at the end of the season, but no reason it can't be great at the start.

After Oregon beats Penn State to win the conference championship and get a banner! It will have beaten Penn State, osu2, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois and Wisconsin, the bigs of the B1G, in the same season.

Probably not No.1, yet. On the surface when looking at Oregon’s resume compared to the rest of the country, they should be ranked in the top ten. The only teams that are also undefeated with the quality of wins that Oregon has are teams like No. 4 Auburn, No. 1 Kansas, No. 8 Kentucky, No. 7 Tennessee, and No. 10 Marquette. However, with rankings, there are perceptions of teams given before the season starts and Oregon was not thought to be a top-25 team. Even after their 5-0 start, they were still unranked. They showed the country that they are without a doubt a top-25 team after beating Alabama and winning the Players Era Festival. Oregon will likely be ranked in the No. 12 to No. 17 range when Monday’s rankings come out.

Call it the," Ow Bowl"

You know, we should have seen this coming. The Committee struggled with the 4 team format. It can't be a surprise that 12 teams is a unwieldy mess. Between making sure to keep the "favored" teams in the conversation and ignoring SOR, this is what we have. The Committee definitely didn't expect Oregon to be No.1, so the No.1 vs No.5 issue isn't a conspiracy, just something Oregon will have to get through before it's corrected next year.

Gotta love the ESPM analytics. I am completely lost on what data has Penn State as the favorite?

It looks like the Buck- were expecting to play the Ducks on Saturday too. But enough about them. James Jordan will definitely be getting attention from the NFL when Draft times comes around. He's getting it from every coaching staff the Ducks have faced this season and hit hasn't mattered. Bryce Boetttcher? Can't say or write enough about him. Not only does he put the fight in the "Fighting Ducks defense, he leads the team in tackles!. I'm sure that he'll meet Tyler Warren often on Saturday.

Kirby suggested it, and we all have a good idea that while "the committee is watching every game, cheering the explosive plays." their scrutiny goes as deep as the final score.

Their SOS is embarrassing. When they played @ Michigan in the 2nd week of the season, the 1-0 defending champions were ranked. Following Michigan, Texas played, UTSA, ULM, Mississippi St. and Oklahoma, before being rolled by Georgia.

I don't know, I'm leaning towards bad coach. He had a great record at Oregon, Show of hands, Duck fans, how many think he was a good coach? At Miami he's 4-9 in games at the end of the season, 2-2 this year. He's the inverse of the COY criteria, constantly doing less with more.

He's from Portland? What were you thinking young man? Fortunately, he got out before any damage was done.

There's no doubt about this. The only team the respected of the 4 Pac teams was USC. Look how that turned out. The media went along with it of course, "on a neutral field, osu2 beats Oregon" Klatt has said this since Oregon beat tosu, for the 2nd time in a row. It's such a script. Now Finebaum is sure that Notre Dame is winning the championship.

Absolutely. If Alabama, or Georgia, or osu2 was No.1, this wouldn't be happening.

If, as I expect them to, Georgia beats Texas, the Longhorns should be longshots to make the Playoffs. If 3 L Alabama gets in, then Finebaum really is the Chairman of the Committee. Without the Replay Center Miami doesn't have a chance, and they'll be the team everybody wants to play if they get in.

Of course there's this: ESPN Computer Model's National Title Favorite Lost on Saturday That would be osu2

The biggest noise about Oregon was the not a story about Lanning leaving and going to the NFL next year. According to the ramblings from Huskyville Charles brought over they're clinging desperately to that happening.

If there is a Playoff and the half the teams in it aren't SEC, does that Playoff still count?

The Nittany Lion is the eastern mountain lion mascot of the athletic teams of the Pennsylvania State University, known as the Penn State Nittany Lions. Created in 1907, the "Nittany" forename refers to the local Mount Nittany, which overlooks the university.

Shows exactly how ridiculous ESPN and the rest of the media are. Oregon's No.1, moving on. "But what about Texas?" "How can Alabama still make the Playoffs?" "The U" "? "Prime?" Oregon, the most innovative team in college sports can't get a mention?

Saturday, Dec.7, 5:00 PST on CBS What's a Nittany Lion compared to Duck?

According to ESPN's Football Power Index, the Longhorns are now the heavy national title favorite. Before Saturday's slate of game, Ohio State had a 22% chance to win the national title - the best chance of any team. However, with the Buckeyes loss and Texas' win, the Longhorns now have a 23.4% chance to win the title. The next closest team is Notre Dame at 15.1%.

You're probably right. We'll see how the Voters think. They completely ignored the Ducks before, now that they're 8-0, 3 Quad 1 wins, how do they course correct? Still put Oregon in the "Let's see" category or recognize what they've accomplished?

Who blew their chance at back to back Super Bowl wins with the worst play call in NFL history, and the Mariners had a chance at legitimately being called the best team in baseball history; 116-46 regular season record, and they CHOKE! Don't even make it to the World Series.
