Great take, but I'd trade a 4-game playoff run to Atlanta on 1/20/25 for a 3-game run with fewer fans in the Rose Bowl and more time for dinged-up players to heal. OBD has been a road warrior this season, and who knew that a 3-point home win against a G5 opponent would be a win over PO, ranked No. 12? I think this team is mature enough on both sides of the ball not to be intimidated by the opposition's fans.

Nevada Dawg, best of luck in Oxford on Saturday. May your QB throw to guys in the correctly colored jerseys and may the D that played in Austin show up!

Thanks, 30. As I have posted before, I think Miami is Missouri in waiting. Texas was blown out by Georgia and its two 'signature wins came against a team that likely won't go bowling, Oklahoma, and a team not yet bowl-eligible, Michigan. The Horns had a close call at Vandy, and have not ranked opponents in Florida, a road game at Arkansas, Kentucky, and versus an A+M team in College Station that was blown out by South Carolina, remaining. Texas has one of the easier SEC conference schedules that but for venues will be repeated next season. I have no idea why the Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Mississippi State ADs bought into this rinse-and-repeat instead of going to nine conference games. LSU? Looked lost in the second half versus A+M. Tennessee is another SEC team with an easy conference schedule that especially with a bad loss at Arkansas, should not be ahead of a BYU team with wins over No. 13 SMU on the road and a blowout of No. 19 K State in Logan. Tennessee did beat a No. 11 Bama team that self-destructed in Knoxville. Left on the Vols schedule, Mississippi State, at Georgia, UTEP 😒, and Vandy in Nashville. Good luck in Athens and Vandy on the road will not be a pushover. A number of the 2 loss-ranked SEC teams will have 3 losses before 12/8/24. One of Bama/LSU will have 3 losses after Saturday's game. Will a 3-loss SEC team make the playoff?

I Tell Ya, I Finally Got Some Respect!😁 Wasson: Finally, some respect for the Big Ten with the first Playoff rankings SATURDAYTRADITION.COM Four Big Ten teams -- including the top 2 -- found their way inside the initial set of Playoff rankings. No conference had more. 4 of the top 8. SEC with 4 in the top 12, but 8 SEC teams are ranked including Misery. SEC Sort It Out Somewhat Saturday. No. 3 UGA at No. 16 Ole Miss and No. 11 Bama at No. 15 LSU. Ole Miss, Bama, and LSU would have their third loss and most likely be playoff over and out. The winner of South Carolina at Vandy should be ranked in the top 25. Keep an eye on Florida at Texas with Florida QB Lagway healthy for the game. Oh, and don't miss FSU at Notre Dame. 😁

And time for Tez, Marcus, etc. to get healthy. The opening 1st round game will be played on 12/19 with the other 3 played on the 20th. Having a bye means your team is off from the champ game on 12/7/24 to 1/1/25. So 24 days off before playing in Pasadena and added time to prepare for the first PO opponent and game. How about an Old School matchup against Big Ten Indiana?

EXACTLY. He had a significant roster advantage in the B12 (like Jimbo Fisher had in the ACC) and dysfunction in Austin, Texas. His teams outside of B12 play? 0-3 as a playoff head coach. 60+ points surrendered vs LSU and Joe Burrow. The guy who hired Riley was forced out, current AD Jen Cohen had nothing to do with the hire. College Station Fanatics came with oil money to buy out Jimbo. Is football that big of a thing today in South Central? Would SC boosters come up with at least $50M if Jen wanted to get rid of Riley? I don't believe that SC is committed to football like it once was. Moss was nothing special at QB and kept throwing untimely interceptions. Maiva was very good at UNLV last season and he has better wheels than Moss. With the season down the drain after a huge opening win, Riley needs to see what he has in Maiva and if positive, keep Maiva out of the portal. Moss has another year of eligibility but he isn't the answer. Reilly tried to pick up Will Howard but SC's NIL program is JV compared to Ohio State, and Oregon. SC needs to win 2 of the next 3 games against Nebraska, at UCLA, and Notre Dame l to be bowl-eligible. How fired up will SC players be to trip to El Paso or Shreveport or SoFi? I think Cohen likely knows that SC needs a culture change and a recruiter like Danno but where is the money coming from to get rid of Riley and pay a new coach @$10M a year? I feel so sorry for the first team to bail from the Pac-12. 😁

A Shout Out From the AP! Oregon gets top billing in College Football Playoff's opening rankings, Ohio St 2nd and Georgia 3rd APNEWS.COM Undefeated Oregon got top billing in the first set of rankings on the road to college football's new, 12-team playoff. No. 5 is the PO At-Large sweet spot although if Boise is the 12 seed the 1st round game will not be a piece of potato pie. Beat the 12 seed and it's likely on to the Fiesta Bowl for a game against the 4-seed B12 representative. I will not be surprised if both the three and four seeds lose in the 2nd round. Utah is having a very bad year. But No.9 BYU, -3.5, travels to Salt Lake City for the Holy War game this Saturday and there is a reason for the skinny spread in this heated rivalry game. A BYU loss would give the Prime Time Buffs, blown out by Nebraska, a good shot at making the B12 title game and with two losses, having a 1st round bye. 😒 Trash the Terps!

Great Take, yes. Georgia at Ole Miss should be a PO eliminator. Tennessee has a game to play at UGA, and Texas still has to visit Texas A+M.

Where have you gone Hayden Fry, not many Iowa fans remember balls thrown into the sky. Purdue? Didn't Bob Griese and Drew Brees play for U? JT Barrett and CJ Stroud didn't slide while passing tOSU to football pride. Is it Parody or Parity in the B1G?

Good post, thank you. HOWEVER, Friends 30 + Kam, PLEASE STOP ROOTING FOR B1G PO CONTENDERS TO TAKE A LOSS. OBD is a Junior Partner and needs the post-season Money Ball dues. OBD needs PSU and Indy to keep on trucking and be rewarded with a Delightful Dozen Invitation so the B1G goes PO 4 for 12. One more than It Just Matters More. I'll bet a Nittany Lions Lid and a Hoosiers Lid against a UW Lid in a White Out and a Michigan Lid with the Wolverines playing a team with an offense with a pulse led by a top-drawer CFB QB in Kurtis Rourke. Michigan State at OREGON - Ducks 31 - Sparty 10. Indiana AT Michigan State - 1st Q. Sparty 10-0. Final - Hoosiers 47 - Sparty 10. USC at UWho - Another SC 4th Q choke was needed for the Fuskies to win in Seattle. Things are so bad for SC that Miller will gather Moss on the bench.
