Duke now has four 5 stars coming in next year's class.

One of the members of the "OSU hasn't played anyone" club (according to fucking Clemson fans of all people), Cincinnati, and their top 15 defense just beat ranked, and defending national champs, UCF. OSU beat Cincy 42-0.

I can't believe UCF was even ranked. That being said, OSU does need to play some real teams. They've got what? Wisconsin? Bah. Take a lesson from Auburn.

Kansas apologize s for Snoop Dogg show. The show included Snoop Dogg shooting a Money gun at the players, which seems highly appropriate.

Also

To promote Snoop Dogg's performance, Kansas last week produced a video with Self wearing a shirt with a large "Adidas Basketball" logo and a chain with a "$" sign.

This is exactly what is wrong with the rankings.

Two more players on a losing team redshirt.

I expect this rule will be changed during the offseason.

Well, that was a (mostly) boring day of football. SMU + Pitt-Duke had some massive comebacks, one of which succeeded. But a bunch of yawn overall.

Something you don't see everyday. 1st and goal turns into a punt.

Speak for yourself. I enjoyed the OSU-MSU game. (But yeah, other than that...)

So right now, we've got what? SEC + Clemson + OSU + SEC for the playoffs?

If the season ended now it'd be Bama-Clemson-OSU-Georgia.

Georgia should NOT be there. It should be LSU.

If the conference champs stay unbeaten, it'll be B1G, SEC, ACC, and Big12.

I'm assuming the SEC stuff sorts itself out with some losses. I'm also assuming OU loses 1 game. But, maybe they won't.

If OU loses a game I think they will be in danger of getting left out in favor of a 1 loss SEC team.

If OSU, OU, let's say Bama, and (if it were possible) Wisconsin/PSU/LSU/Georgia went undefeated, I honestly think they'd leave out an undefeated and defending champ Clemson.

By definition, the SEC will have a 1 loss team, so yeah, also my assumption. I think the committee will like a 1 loss SEC team over any other 1 loss. Heck, probably even a 2 loss SEC team over a 1 loss any other conference.

I don't think they can. Undefeated AND defending champs? Sure, give them a 4, but can't leave them out.

Thus, why the SEC bias matters. Pre-season polls are a joke. Not forcing all teams BY RULE to schedule the same way is also a joke. You'd think that'd be a minor matter for the NCAA to handle, but they don't. I wonder why? *cough*moneyandtoomanysecmembersontheirboard*cough*

Not too many analysts have them in their top 4. They've looked like shit and play a joke of a schedule. Could get interesting.
