I'm still not convinced OSU is a lock especially if PSU somehow blows out Wisconsin.

Cheeto, you think A'dore Jackson is going to get some Heisman votes?

A few yeah. He's a pretty special player in the return game and by most accounts a good to great cover corner. I think using him less on offense helped him be a better defensive player but probably won't help him win a Heisman.
He might finish 5th which seems pretty fair.
Yeah the PAC-12 landscape is vastly different now than it was during Oregon's rise. Everyone has fancy helmets and new facilities, UW is finally out of the malaise that started in the mid 90s when they got hit with LOIC and then continued on with a string poor coaching hired. USC is out from sanctions and has a coach who will at least not embarrass them on a personal level. Everyone has learned from the Chip Kelly offense so they don't even have that.
Now whoever they hire has to go into SoCal and fight elite programs for recruits and be capable of developing less heralded talent into stars.
This is also the first time in 40 years Oregon has fired a head coach.
Maybe if Penn St, Washington, and Clemson all have dominating performances. The playoff comitee said the difference between Washington and Penn St is very very small, while they aren't even close to OSU. Washington and Clemson are the best candidates to get bumped by a Penn St blowout, imo.

That is true and is probably the case. I just find it hard to believe they won't put PSU in especially for the fact that since that OSU game they have obliterated everyone and then a blowout of Wisconsin would ice it for me. Even as an OSU fan if PSU blows out Wiscy and gets left out then the whole thing is bullshit. Even if it means bumping OSU down to 5.

The Coaching carousel. Who's getting fired, who's getting a bigger school promotion.

Probably for both Okudah and Dobbins, but I think Charlie could have made a run at the two of them with more job security and a better record.
He may have been able to make a run at Hines rather than Hines probably going to Aggieland.
I'm hoping that we finish with Okudah, Wilson, Browning, Werner, and maybe Trey Smith since the issues that have arisen with Tennessee.
Oh and keep Wade in the class
Why does Bama-GAF keep underselling itself? If you are being serious mre (which I can never tell sometimes)
the average margin of victory for Bama has been 28 points.. with the exceptions of Ole Miss and LSU, you have handled every opponent with absolute ease.
Just because the SEC is having a down year does not mean Bama blows..
This is the college football equivalent of the New England Patriots complaining that their team sucks never mind that they went 3-1 without Gronk and Brady.. Come on guys.. you need to accept that you are the best team in the country and will probably beat every team you match against in the Championship and that this is one of Bama's better teams under Saban.
I think that is the general consensus..
I agree.. but I don't see that happening.. I think Wisky will win.
Best drinks / food for watching games? Specifically CCGs or Playoffs?
Why can't former Saban assistants beat him?
Should there be a commissioner type position that is in effect a for life appt and should they govern power 5 cfb and playoff committee?
If Urbs hits a Clemson LB with a papa johns pizza wpuld anyone care?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Rumor is he didn't like the school as a whole.
Wish the kid well. He played hard for us.
GT as an academic institution isn't for everybody.
If you're not going to be an engineer, it's probably not the school for you. Think his other finalists coming from highschool were Vandy and Wake so maybe he'll end up at one of those two places.

In that link I was tinkering with some scenarios and when I made the top 4 teams + Oklahoma lose, it stopped me and said "That scenario is not going to happen, reset and try again".
I was just trying to get Gondo St. in the playoffs
Free Gondo
You're not getting rid of him that easily.
It's gonna be Lane Kiffin. They want to be the latest to hire someone from the Nick Saban coaching tree. Or McElwain. Same thing.

Where does Les end up? Or does he take a year off and wait for a better opening?
Purdue. He and Butch are going to be co-head coaches.
ADs are dumb someone out there has to be dumb enough to do it.

Rutgers should've hired Fleck.
Unless ND has an out, he'd be stupid to leave for Oregon with 6 a 6 year buyout if the shitcan him.
Nobody is saying "Bama blows." With the criteria that the committee seems to be applying, though, there is a very strong argument that Bama is not one of the best 4 teams in the nation. If conference championships don't mean anything (Ohio State), going undefeated doesn't mean anything (Western Michigan), wins/losses don't mean anything (UM at 10-2 potentially getting in over 11-2 Clemson or Washington), then all you're really left with is the "eye test" and comparing how teams are playing now. Sure, Bama may not have had "trouble" with most teams on their schedule, but they struggled with two shit teams as you posted, giving up more points to Mississippi than almost every other team Mississippi played. If you want to look at recent games, Bama struggled offensively with both Auburn and Chattanooga (an FCS school!).
If you want to look at schools that are hot NOW, you have to look at OSU (5 straight wins, with 2 of those being over top 10 teams), Penn State (8 straight wins, with one of those wins being over #2 tOSU), USC (8 straight wins, including wins over top 10 Colorado and Washington), Oklahoma (8 straight dominating wins, including wins over top-15 WVU), Wisconsin (6 straight wins, including a win over a top-10 team) and Colorado (6 straight wins, including multiple wins over top-25 teams).
Bama's resume just doesn't stack up if we're ignoring or discounting those factors i mentioned. They're struggling with inferior opponents and benefiting from the SEC being way down. They're best win is inarguably USC, and that win is irrelevant because USC was a completely different team than it is now. It just seems like the committee is saying some factors are important while others are not, but then tossing all of that out of the window just because Bama is undefeated.

Oh that works and then Butch to ND to continue his following of Kelly
Butch also turns a nice shade of purple so there will be some carryover in that aspect as well.
Now's their one chance to talk to Tua before the dead period, which ends after he early enrolls "somewhere"
mre has a bit of a point, though I don't care how "different" USCw has become, that win still matters and would happen again (cause hey, Alabama's Offense has improved from that game).
OSUn will get in, but they really should only get in if PSU loses, or if PSU is also in the playoffs. Cause currently it looks like they feel a loss to a ranked OOC opponent is > than Head 2 Head and Conference titles.

Wow so tOSU not having to play a champ game this week is really paying dividends. While the other top teams are preparing for the make or break champ games, they can sit back and snag some recruits while they await their playoff selection

I think OSU is a lock, but I could see the seeding changed depending on how the ACC/Pac-12 games go.
