7. Harvard (9-1)
8. Slippery Rock (12-1)
9. Houston (11-1)
10. aOSU (11-1)
Virginia tech should be ranked to be quite honest and frank with y'all.
first for Sparty Natty champs
>Western Lower Southern Roseberg Junior City College not ranked 1
Shit list tbqhwyf
>If Clemson beats UNC
1. Clemson
2. Bama
3. Iowa/MSU
4. OU
OU beats Clemson
Bama beats Iowa or loses to MSU
OU beats Bama or loses to MSU
>If UNC beats Clemson
1. Bama
2. Iowa/MSU
3. OU
4. UNC
Bama beats UNC
OU beats Iowa or loses to MSU
MSU or OU beats Bama
>implying Bama will lose to UF
>implying Ohio State or Stanford will sneak in the playoffs
>>63896940
>snook
inevitable Michigan State natties in both football and basketball tbhfam
Provided the results on the left happen, on the right is what I think the CFP Final Four would be
Which scenarios do you disagree with? I'm iffy on UNC being win-and-in.
>>63897535
are you implying USC has a chance to get in the playoffs? trying to interpret this thing
>>63897535
>Oklahoma is the only team in every scenario
feels good man
>>63896940
lmao msu isn't that great
reminder that this is the true meme team, not Iowa
>>63897949
OPEN is the hardest team on that schedule
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING INTO THE PLAYOFF POWER RANKINGS:
1 OR MORE LOSS PLEBS START AT #2
#1 Win all your games
#2 Play in an overrated conference
#3 Be Alabama
#4 Win your conference
#5 Don't lose past mid-season no matter who you play
.
.
.
.
#9999 Play as well as you should be playing to maintain your rank
>>63897693
Not at all. Let me try this.
Within each scenario, the teams on the left are the ones that won the championship games. The teams on the right are in the playoff
>>63898094
what are you crying about Alabama for
>>63898225
says the bammer
>>63898193
ah ok that makes a lot more sense now
1. Clemson
2. Iowa
3. Alabama
4. Oklahoma
>>63898278
Bama's playoff spot last year was completely deserved and this year's will be too
If there are only 2 undefeated P5 teams at the end of the season, they should just play without bothering with semis
>>63898342
don't disagree with last year, disagree with this year.
>>63898384
why
>>63898366
anon that's retarded. fsu was undefeated last year.
>>63898366
>Clemson and Iowa go straight to the National Championship Game
>meanwhile, Alabama and Oklahoma play in the Sugar Bowl
You don't see anything wrong with this?
>>63898413
Probably because Alabama has lost to the only ranked team they've played. Maybe he'll change his opinion once Alabama wins their conference.
>>63898449
>Clemson and Iowa go straight to the National Championship Game
>>meanwhile, Alabama and Oklahoma play in the Sugar Bowl
>You don't see anything wrong with this?
no
>>63898413
they don't deserve to ranked any lower than #6 after this week given who they've beaten, who they lost to and how they played saturday.
Only Ohio State, Oklahoma, and MAYBE Michigan State look like strong teams by this point. It's a shame that tOSU needed the wake-up call to get going.
>>63898522
They've played a tougher schedule than any other remaining contender has, and lord knows their loss is better than MSU's or Nebraska's
>>63898449
no because florida is trash and has flirted with losing to vanderbilt and needed several PI no calls to beat FAU. how in the fuck would beating that team justify being in the playoff? may as well toss FSU in there in that case.
>>63898589
not better than tOSU's loss and their schedule is overrated as fuck as others have pointed out already. i bet LSU is still a top 10 team in your mind somehow.
>>63898577
OSU blew it by hiring that retard from Nebraska and then wasting half the season on Cardale Jones.
They had their chance and they wasted it.
>>63898501
>let's just go back to the bcs
>>63898589
Alabama has very few quality wins; their best may be over Tennessee, Wisconsin or Arkansas. And they lost to Ole Piss.
>>63898677
>the committee
>retarded
pick two, the fact that bama is #2 right now and has been shows they have no idea what they're doing
>>63898501
Would you have condoned the Alabama ass-raping of Florida State last year for a national championship while the actual final teams played in the Rose Bowl? Or would Alabama's 1 loss mean the playoff should happen?
>>63898730
i said there needs to be two P5 undefeateds, not just one. playoffs last year should have happened
>>63898772
So it's impossible for two 2014 FSUs to happen at the same time?
>>63898632
How is their schedule overrated?
>>63898695
Already addressed the loss, and while their best win is not as good as other teams' best wins, they've still played the toughest overall schedule
>>63898812
yes, because going undefeated in any other conference than the ACC isnt a joke
If Iowa wins the Big Ten, should they be ranked above Alabama?
>>63899071
yes, they would have a top 10 win, bama has 0 (zero) top 20 wins
>>63899071
They can have it. 2-3/3-2 doesn't make any difference
funny how the playoff turned the difference between being ranked 2 and ranked 3 from the most important thing in cfb to literally meaningless
I believe that Michigan State will do it for the State broship.
On a side note, looks like the stars are lining up to BTFO of Michigan in a bowl again.
Can't wait for the SEC to start blowing out meme teams OOC during the regular season next year to end all this shitposting
>>63899479
the west will go 6-1 with Arkansas losing to TCU and everyone will just talk about that game as evidence the sec sucks all year
>>63899587
lel the West lost way more than that last year
shit ass Georgia Tech and TCU drug Miss and Miss State
tOSU punked Bama
kek
>>63899587
I wish >we (Mississippi State) played a better game, BYU seems like we are afraid.
>>63899479
>>63899587
Aside from the ACC-SEC rivalries, in 2016:
Alabama plays USC (at Arlington, TX)
LSU plays Wisconsin (at Green Bay, WI)
Tennessee plays Virginia Tech (at Bristol Motor Speedway)
Georgia plays UNC (at Atlanta, GA)
Ole Miss plays Florida State (at Orlando, FL)
Auburn plays Clemson
Texas A&M plays UCLA
Arkansas plays @ TCU
Mizzou plays @ West Virginia
Vanderbilt plays @ Georgia Tech
Miss State plays @ BYU
Do you really think the SEC will blow out all those meme teams?
>>63899733
>bowl games outside of natty
>relevant and meaningful display of team's strength
>>63899922
Unironically, yes I do every game is favorable to the SEC.
>>63896940
UNC has no chance getting in
>>63899587
As an Ole Miss fan, I am pretty confident saying that If Ole Miss gets to the Sugar Bowl and plays one of those high scoring B12 teams they will lose. It's been proven this season that all it takes to beat Ole Miss is a QB who can consistently make the easy underneath throws and an OL that can protect the QB just enough to do it.
>>63900000
UNC gets in if they beat Clemson
>>63900000
Normally I'd disagree with you but it's hard to argue against quints.
>>63900005
First of all GTHOM
Second of all, I think you're getting Ohio State. Should be fine.
>>63900034
They'd lose out to Stanford
>>63900064
You better fucking believe it
>>63900212
They'd get in over Stanford
>>63900179
>Ole Miss beating OSU
oh my sides
I really hope OSU gets one of these overrated SEC scrubs
>>63899922
Realistically
Bama-USC - bama wins
LSU - Wisconsin - LSU probably wins
Tennessee - VT - Tennessee wins more likely than not but it's close
Georgia - UNC - 2015 UNC beats 2015 Georgia, but don't know what to expect from either team next year
Ole Miss - FSU - FSU wins
Auburn - Clemson - Clemson wins
TAMU - UCLA - UCLA probably wins? TAMU has the talent to win if they get their shit together offensively
Arkansas - TCU - Similar to Georgia - UNC, not sure
Mizzou - WVU - WVU probably wins
Vanderbilt - GT - shitfest, but GT wins
MSU - BYU - No idea
>>63900179
In which bowl? Sugar Bowl takes B12 #2. Capital One could pit OM vs Ohio State I suppose.
>>63900258
No they wouldn't
They'd have shit on their resume
I'm sorry, but did Iowa already win? Oh, that's right. The season isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only just started. Does losing to Nebraska with refball in Nebraska really count as a loss? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this topic when the season is still going? The games are still being played right now and Michigan State has been a contender for how many years now? They had one of the toughest schedules in history and just happened to only play teams while not having a healthy OL. But you know what? Michigan State is still the best program in the state. Michigan are one of the worst fucking programs in history, they lucked out in 2012 and couldn’t even beat the Spartans with a lead and the ball with less than 2 minutes left at home. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded topics like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when Spartans wins a natty and the SEC gets exposed and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, the memes just came in and they're saying le little brother sucks, just like before. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these little brother memes cause you're secretly a Michigan State dropout. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking conservatives on the board, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your threads now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.
>>63900301
Yes they would
>>63899922
The SEC is going to get Bootyblasted next year holy shit.
>>63900354
No they fucking won't
How do you not get this?
>>63900293
Ohio State is getting a Big Owl.
>>63900266
Mississippi State is way better than BYU this year but without Dak who knows.
VT was barely 6-6 this year. TN should have it easily.
>>63900396
Yes they fucking will
How do you not get this?
>>63900266
>Implying Auburn-Clempshit will even be close
Auburn is going to crush those ripoffs
>>63900459
How much are VT and UT retaining from this year? UT was firmly better than VT this year no doubt
>>63900492
Stanford, Ohio State, and Michigan State if they lose to Iowa would all have better cases
You don't lose to a team like South Carolina and make the playoff
>>63900546
UNC in if they beat Clemson
>>63900293
Sorry, I meant Okie State. Somehow in my head, the two OSU got mixed up. However, lookin at the standings looks like Baylor is #1 not in the playoff which is a damn shame as they have fallen off the face of the earth.
>>63900000
Quints confirm it, UNC is D-U-N done!
>>63900568
Stanford in if UNC beats Clemson
>>63900526
I assume they must be having monster recruiting classes to get this level of hype every pre season
Even if you add a victory over Clemson to this schedule, no one thinks that Ohio State isn't better than UNC.
>>63900615
UNC in if they beat Clemson
>>63900647
no one outside of buttblast ACC country, that is.
>>63900583
Ole Miss / Oklahoma State might not be bad. Feels like OM has played OK State a billion times in bowl games though, but always in the Cotton Bowl.
I remember there being some OK State asspain when Treadwell committed to Ole Miss so it might make an entertaining match up.
If UNC gets in then the playoff system will officially be the biggest joke ever. Although they'd make life a lot easier for everyone else by replacing a good team.
>people think Stanford has a chance to get in
what about "losses to Northwestern and Oregon this year looks pitiful" do you not understand
Ohio State is getting in some way, somehow
>>63900750
They're both better than UNC's to South Carolina
>>63900698
I feel like OK State has played both Mississippi teams a ton. I'd love to see more PAC12/SEC mashups. It's always ACC/BIG10 and one or two random B1G.
>florida beats bama
>UNCheat beats clemson
What happens in this scenario?
>>63900769
Unless Bama or Clemson lose, then no
>>63900798
Ohio State and Stanford
>>63900817
Clemson will lose. Because Clemson has never delivered in such a spot in my entire 25 years of watching football
>>63900886
2011?
>>63900769
>yfw The Ohio State University Buckeyes are the first ever undisputed National Champs who will not be defending their crown
>>63900886
>>63900903
Clemson has barely ever been top 10 in my lifetime.
>>63900769
all they need is Florida or UNC to win
>>63900980
>all they need is UNC to win
this meme needs to end. if unc wins ohio state isn't getting in over them, stop with the delusion. no one has given a solid breakdown yet as to how ohio state's resumé would be better than unc's at that point
>>63900967
What about UNC?
at least there's some good news on the Gator front
Just one night after being held to zero offensive points against in-state rival Florida State, the Florida Gators landed a commitment from the No. 4 pocket passer in the ESPN 300, Feleipe' Franks.
The No. 59 player overall in the ESPN 300, Franks had been committed to LSU for more than a year, but with questions surrounding the future of Tigers coach Les Miles, Franks backed off that pledge less than a week ago. The Gators continued to pursue the 6-foot-6, 219-pound quarterback from Wakulla High School in Crawfordville, Florida, and the persistence finally paid off.
Franks decided to commit to the Gators after visiting Florida this weekend, his third trip to Gainesville in a month. As a senior, Franks has thrown for 2,347 yards with 30 touchdowns and only two interceptions. He led Wakulla to the state semifinals.
>>63901172
let me break it down for you
>losing to South Shitolina
vs.
>barely losing to MSU who will probably be top 4
>>63901172
No horrendous loss?
>>63900967
Thats better than I remember
>>63901230
Hard to blame him. If you're an elite QB prospect it's hard to have confidence in LSU's ability to develop QBs at this point.
>>63901172
UNC lost to South Carolina. Ohio State lost to Michigan State. Ohio State has a better resume
>>63901253
>>63901261
the committee won't care about the loss. they'll just see a 12-game winning streak, which, if iowa loses, will be the longest in the country, capped with a win over the team with the best regular season in the country
>ohio state fans will continue to deny how golden unc would look in this scenario
>>63901230
>his third trip to Gainesville in a month
>Committed after going there 3 times
What the fuck is wrong with this fagget?
>>63901286
that and it's not like UF has much competition. Harris is shit and Grier is out for half of 2016 anyway
Still waiting on kicker recruiting news too
>>63901335
Yes, and two if the wins going against FCS schools. Nice try, UNCheat
>>63901187
these were their two best teams I remember.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_North_Carolina_Tar_Heels_football_team
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_North_Carolina_Tar_Heels_football_team
judging by all the ABUNCs on here, would a tar heel sneak into the playoffs and subsequent natty win cause the most butthurt since >18-1
>>63901509
It would probably cause pretty much the whole country to just try and forget this season of college football ever happened, so yes.
>>63901172
ACC fanboi detected
OSU has the best coach in the country and would be favored over any team in the country outside the top 3 right now.
>>63901335
All those teams in that streak are shit compares to Ohio State's schedule
I mean Illinois was one of the worst teams Ohio State played, and one of UNC's best
>>63901335
The Thehio Thete Theniversity's best win would be...wait for it....against memechigan!
teehheeeheheehee
You can't make it up! the c.uckeyes are so desperate to be included ;^)
>>63901509
yes because it's an overhyped basketball school that everyone else hates when they ride a shit football schedule in a shit conference to 12-1.
>>63901338
FSU was also looking to recruit him, which is why I'm glad he chose UF despite us getting booty blasted.
>>63901338
had to bang three different Gator Getters
>>63901757
That is kinda weird.
But he would get 1/2 a season next year and 3 if he stays?
Or redshirt and possible start 4 years?
I'm assuming he's that good?
>>63901585
>OSU has the best coach in the country
isn't he the coach of sparty tho
>>63901484
That happened so long ago Mack Brown left UNC to go to Texas, had a long tenure, and retired to ESPN
>>63900313
>Canada in charge of being this dumb and boring at the same time
>>63901335
Some DII school has a 12 game win streak as well
And they're undefeated
They have a better resume than UNC
lmao why are you fucks getting so upset about UNC
>>63901961
i dont know why a canuck would shitpost right now when Grey Cup is on.
>>63902008
should we go back to talking about how overrated Bama is?
>>63901842
He redshirted last year. He'll be a "true" sophomore or whatever they call it in 2016.
1.Klimpsun
2.Bama
3.Mich St
4.Oklahoma
>>63902008
coping mechanism since they know UNC is gonna win it all
>>63902215
1. Clemp-san
2. Mikekan State
3. Chokelhoma
4. Bammer
(Pending future resumes)
>>63902276
or rather, given their future wins, this is what I judge them to be. Alabama's best win will be...LSU or Florida.
>>63900750
> Muh two losses...
It's going to be funny as hell if they get in.
The real truth ? Half the teams ranked in front of Stanford CAN loose to Stanford.
>>63902464
stanford is fucking legit. but they'll have to wait next year looks like. no way they bring in a 2 loss team to the playoffs even if they knocked off ND
I don't understand why people think Clemson is going to win the National Championship, let alone make the game itself. Their entire body of work is garbage and especially their games as of late. 10-point win over 4-8 Syracuse? 20-point win over 3-9 Wake Forest? 5-point win over 3-9 South Carolina?
Yikes. It would not surprise me at all to see UNC beat them next weekend.
>>63902725
Having not seen those games, were the scores the result of garbage time gains by the loser, or were they hard fought by both teams?
>>63902551
I agree with you. I'm just saying it would be funny.
But I do mean what I say about half the teams ranked in front of them. Not all the teams though.
You idiots talking about how Ohio State would get in over UNC (assuming they beat Clemson) are wrong.
There is no way they are taking a second B1G team over a 1-loss ACC Champion regardless of how shit that conference might be. It won't happen. Stanford would get in before you're taken too.
The only way Ohio State finds their way back into the playoffs is if Alabama and Stanford lose. Clemson/UNC winner will be in for sure.
It's gonna suck when Florida beats 'bama and UNC beats Clemson and the playoff features Oklahoma and three B1G teams
>>63899978
Do you really think that Auburn could beat Clemson next year?
>>63902821
Wake Forest game wasn't ever really close, but you'd expect the #1 team in the nation to dispatch them by more than 20 points as well as score more than 3 points in the entire second half. The other two games were competitive to the very end which is pathetic.
>>63902860
UNC lost to South Carolina
If we all thought Virginia Tech was a death blow last year, it's nothing compared to this
>>63902908
because Auburn beat Louisville this year
never mind that Clemson beat South Carolina. You simply cannot argue with SECfags
>>63901585
Ahem.
Best coach?
>>63902946
Clemson played Deshaun Watson at WR moat of the second half of the wake forest game
That should tell you how little they cared in that one
They've haven't cared since the FSU game
>>63903046
>>63901585
>>63901849
Only Les Miles can really compete with Saban desu. All the rest are just pretenders.
>>63903227
Saban isn't a good coach. He just recruits a top 2 class every year and lets his big niggs do the rest on the field.
my wife left me
>>63903280
Even if that was all he did (it isn't), recruiting is 70% of what makes a good head coach.
>>63903324
No, coaching is what makes a good head coach. He's a salesman with a great brand behind him.
>>63903280
Still need to develop your recruits. A&M get's good recruits, but can't develop them.
>>63903227
Sabah and Urban Meyer are pretty easily the top 2 coaches
>>63903280
This desu. He's a pretty mediocre coach in general, but he's a terrible game day coach. He makes the worst decisions and his team bails him out most of the time.
>>63903430
It really hit home when, as a Buckeye fan, I watched him pull Henry and forcefeed carries to Yeldon after Henry had literally been tearing us for 8 yards a carry and was completely unstoppable.
Didn't see him again, that meme Yeldon got keked every down and we won, Saban's retarded.
What Saban does well is recruit at a very high level and just as important he manages a team very effectively. He does a great job of creating a competitive environment where all these 5 star kids come in and compete intensely with each other for playing time. And to stay on the roster because he definitely "processes" kids off the team who don't pan out. That is just as important as recruiting. Building a program that aspires to perfection in every aspect of its on-field performance all the time.
Of course they don't actually achieve that 100%. But the way he builds an overall program is really really solid. It has its drawbacks though. It feels like his teams have a tendency to play really tight sometimes. Especially against teams they are expected to beat but are talented themselves (such as Ole Miss in recent years and Ohio State in the playoffs). The pressure Alabama puts on itself is just as large as the pressure Alabama fans put on their team. That pressure gets the better of them. Saban should learn a page or two from Les Miles. Miles is very good at relaxing his team and taking that pressure off when needed, often through his goofy hijinks. But of course Miles has his own issues.
>>63903584
I agree. Saban needs to find some sort of loving corner in his heart because I bet he stresses everyone on the team out a little too much. Everything about him screams anxiety and OCD which can be infuriating to be around. He reminds me so much of my father, who is a great man but so negative and anal to be around that it just wears on you.
I'm kind of depressed tonight with Richt leaving. It needed to be done. But I had some great memories of CMR. I hope he goes on to VT or Miami or a program that will actually enjoy 9-10 wins a season and have literally zero chance of ever wining a national championship. (some teams are actually perfectly ok with that).
He was a GOAT human being and a pretty good coach. Goodbye CMR ;_; drinking a bit for you tonight.
>tfw drunk and actually shed a few tears when i felt bad for trash talking him so much even though i secretly appreciated everything he did for the school
anyways, time to begnin the kirby smart era and become the alabama of the SEC East.
SIC EM DAWGS HOO HOO HOO
>>63903908
enjoy going 6-6 for the next 5 seasons
>>63904021
Literally won't happen when we start recruiting D-line players like Bamas and dominate the fuck out of the east.
>>63898193
>stanford has a chance
>tOSU has a chance
>>63903311
>my wife left me
bootyblaster fan I take it?
>>63904142
Which teams would you have in those scenarios instead, m8?
>>63903747
The beat writer I follow for my team used to cover LSU. He was covering LSU when Saban left for the NFL. He said he talked to a big time LSU booster who told him that when Saban left LSU that entire athletic department collectively exhaled a sigh of relief. They were so wound up and nerve-wracked by Saban's methods that everyone was relieved when he finally left. For them Miles was such a breath of fresh air.
Of course times changed for LSU.
>>63903584
I think Saban builds solid teams with good fundamentals and easy to execute plays (talent helps with this). His defenses are usually good but it often takes too long for his team to adjust (His defense is EXCELLENT in garbage time) and his offense is too subdued to come back from large deficits. If another team is able to make plays and capitalize on his teams' mistakes, then his team is hard-pressed to make a comeback even against inferior teams. (See 2014 Sugarbowl and this years Ole Miss game).
If OSU were in the playoff they'd win it desu senpai
>>63904194
Why cant you niggers still understand this?
Only 6 teams are now in the run for the playoffs.
Clemson
Oklahoma (secured)
Bama
Iowa
Mich St.
UNC
UNC might even get snobbed even if they win against Clemson. They need to win by a margin of >20 to secure the 4th spot tbqh. Stanford's chances are low. Even if they get a decent victory of USC, the probability of Bama choking to an abysmal offense which is the Florida Gators is highly improbable
>>63904105
you're right. 6-6 is too generous. 4 win seasons seem more likely
>>63904475
So if USC, UNC, Florida and MSU all won the championship games, you would have Iowa or Clemson in the playoff? Are you serious?
>>63904475
Keep repeating it if it makes you comfortable, if UNC beats Clemson they better do it in really dominant fashion or else OSU is getting in
a horde of retards argued with me saying OSU wouldn't make it last year and I was right and they were wrong and I'd be happy to do it again this year
>>63904142
Ok, while we all do understand the fact that a two loss team most likely won't get in. You do have to recognize the absolute fact that , at the very least, half of the six teams ranked in front of Stanford CAN loose to Stanford.
>>63904659
who cares? anyone in the top 25 CAN beat another in the top 25 given the chance
that's why losses are so much more critical with regards to your schedule, it proves fallibility where beating a great team doesn't necessarily disprove it
>>63904545
Conference champion>conference loser
Sorry aOSU homer
>>63904732
We aren't the conference loser, dumbass
we weren't afforded the chance, shortly in part due to how large our conference is compared to your pitiful mickey mouse conference
>>63904732
UNC would get in over OSU as they will have beaten clemson.
Also fuck you all for thinking Iowa is not worthy of a spot.
>>63904780
>not the conference loser
>>63904789
it isn't king of the hill
UNC's schedule outside of Clemson is objectively terrible, moreso than everyone else in the top 10

>We aren't the conference loser, dumbass
Dude
>>63904780
>we weren't afforded the chance
Bruh I'm an Ohio State fan but we had our chance and we lost to MSU. I do think that if we had a rematch we'd beat them but that doesn't matter. We lost they won they deserve to have a chance at the playoffs over us. The only possible way we get in is if Florida beats Bama (not going to happen) and Stanford loses and MSU loses
>>63904812
>>63904825
you can't lose the conference if you don't get to play in the championship thanks to arbitrary division structure
>>63904715
All I am saying is there are team making the playoffs that are unworthy of Stanford. ( Probably your team that is why you are bitching like a little girl about it instead of accepting the truth ).
>>63904874
>unworthy of Stanford
unworthy of a 2 loss team that had a "signature" meme home win against the perennially overrated Notre Dame Fighting Cupcakes, sure
>>63904105
You're not hiring saban though, so why do you think your defensive recruiting would change significantly?
>>63904870
Not NC's fault, friendo. If you don't like your conference's structure then petition to have it changed or switch conferences. At the end of the day, you lost and shouldn't get in over conference champions no matter how weak you feel their conference may be.
>>63897746
When will you fags buy in? Not even going to waste the time to lay out all the wins.
>>63904936
> Muh two losses
Truth is what it is pal.
>>63904957
Thanks for your subjective opinion
if your conference is garbage and you have 2 losses it doesn't matter that you won it when other conferences are stronger
this is not tautological to the TCU/Baylor situation of last year at all as everyone had 1 loss and OSU was coming off the most dominant sig win of the season
>>63905022
Sure is, 2 losses = no invite

>>63905142
"Notre Dame is a top 10 team" is an annual joke perpetuated by the old farts in the AP that will never stop being funny when they inevitably get upset or BTFO
>>63905053
Would be cool to have a couple of wild card teams to the playoffs like the NFL. I wonder how much that would complicate things.
>>63905242
Not much aside from the bracket being weird. Every spot in the CFP is a wild card right now.
8 Spots
Each P5 Champion
3 At-large bids.
This happens by 2025
>>63905196
for that to be an annual joke, it would have to occur annually. you are trying, I'll give you that, anon.
>>63905320
would satisfy all the one-lossers and only the most gifted 2-lossers could squabble for a chance
>>63905441
>>63905320
When has there ever been a Mythical National Championship where the 8th best team in the nation was in the conversation?
>>63905320
That's basically what I want. I would give one of the at-large bids to a mid-major if a suitable candidate is available, but the P5 conferences aren't under any pressure to do that anymore.
>>63905320
This.
>>63905441
Agreed.
>>63905531
>>63905320
Realistically they would need to decrease the regular season from 12 weeks to 11 to make that doable. And that's not likely.
>>63905502
Never, 8 teams is a dumb idea
>March Madness
>Implying Kentucky wasn't the best team in decades, let alone that year
>>63905502
people love upsets, m8
>>63902551
The way the committee has jerked off ND this year, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Stanford got in and their explanation was they beat an elite ND team in the final seconds.
Plus, they will be a conference champ if they win next week and that's a big emphasis as seen last year when the Big 12 had co-champs.
>>63905566
one week won't be an obstacle
>>63905968
It would be, because athletic departments make a lot of money off that one week.
>>63905588
If Kentucky played an ACC schedule last year instead of shitty SEC teams they wouldn't have been undefeated
>>63905860
i'd agree with you if stanford had only one loss, but with clemson showing no sign of stopping, the other three spots in the playoff are gonna go to one-loss conf. champs
>>63905968
Why do you think all the 129 FBS schools would agree to shave a game and millions of dollars of their schedules so that 4 more games can be played by a handful of schools instead?
>>63906062
*one-loss conf. champs assuming MSU beats Iowa
>>63905968
>>63906023
Should've been more clear, I'm suggesting either start the season a week earlier or end it in mid-January
>>63905860
jerked them off by removing them from the top 4?
>>63906035
It still doesn't change the fact that they were one of the best basketball teams of all time, and the absolute best of the year.
>>63906142
Woudl be the opposite. everyone was happy as hell to go from 11 to 12 full-time
surprised it hasn't been talked about doing 13 regular season games to prevent tiebreaker scenarios in conferences. also a conference championship + bowl = 15 games, or 16 if you play in the championship bullshit
>>63906199
Then why did they choke on the second to last game? ;)
I just figured out the GOAT college football playoff scenario.
Ok, the regular season is only 8 games (+conference championships), and you only play teams from your conference.
Then there will be a 64 team playoff, just like march madness style. It will be extremely interesting because for the first couple of rounds you'll see elite teams facing trash- but the elite teams will be interesting because they'll be trying to not play their starters and of course the underdogs would be playing balls to the wall, mega-gimick ball. It would be so much fun, and with the shortening of the regular season the teams who make it all the way through the tourney and play in the NCCG still only play 15 games, everyone is fucking happy.
>>63906177
They were in the top 3 or 4 ever since the rankings came out (aside from this week) because they lost to Clemson. They never proved they were good and kept playing down to their competition and still were in the top 4. They were never good. And should have never been sniffing the top 4. But all the committee would say is >muh quality loss. They got more credit for LOSING than other teams were getting for winning.
>>63906152
I think you'll see a push back to adding yet another game.
Right now you have 12 games + conference championship + 2 game playoff = 15 games. That's already a lot of games to ask players to put themselves at risk of injury for basically no pay. The players would despise another game. And college presidents are already salty about how late the season goes already. Moving it up causes problems too.
Eventually I think we'll have an 11 game schedule with 8 game playoff. But there will be drama getting there.
>>63906389
you're floundering. they were jumped by multiple teams with the same record, and no amount of whining makes that untrue.
>>63906269
About as stupid as your team's fan base.
>>63906269
Only 8 games? Fans want to watch their teams more times than that. I mean most teams will end their season at 8. Then half of the 64 will end their season at 9. And so on.
I don't like March Madness to be honest. I would actually prefer basketball postseason handled a lot differently. In particular I would prefer the post season be handled through best-of series like in the NBA. But March Madness is part of sports culture so we get to live with it.
>>63906967
Wrong thread, I'm watching it too though.
SO WERE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT BAMA COULD BEAT THE PATS RIGHT?
>>63896719
>2 1-loss teams in front of 2 undefeateds
god you're stupid
>>63907972
OH LOOK, A BUTTHURT BEARCAT

How can they be one of the best teams of all time if they didn't even win a national championship?
>>63907847

>>63908685
Good god man
Is anyone else here a fan of a historically bad program? I feel like it's nothing but Bama and tOSU bandwagoners comparing blueblood status with habitual winners. I'm excited as fuck that my team won 8 games.
>>63906035
SEC basketball just got serious. Mississippi State and Bama with top 15 recruiting classes 2 years in a row (Mississippi State even cracked top 5 for 2016 or had). Auburn and Ole Miss have started to pour money into it as well. Give it 2-3 years.

>posting shitty pasta
>lmaoing at ur life f_am
>>63900583
>lookin at the standings looks like Baylor is #1 not in the playoff
If I'm reading the Big 12's tiebreaker procedure right (and if it's used to determine anything other than conference champions) I think Baylor gets 2nd if they beat Texas. The first two tiebreakers don't eliminate anyone and the third is head to head point differential among tied teams. Low team gets eliminated then it goes to head to head. In that situation Okie Lite's scoring differential is +10, Baylor's is +3, and TCU's is -13, so TCU is eliminated. Baylor beat Okie Lite, so they have the tiebreaker.
If Baylor loses to Texas then Okie Lite gets 2nd because they beat TCU.
>>63911613
Pretty sure the committee will make the choice as to which Big12 team gets shipped to the Sugar. If it was a conference champ them it's an autobid, after that it's supposed to be highest ranked team in the Big 12 vs highest remaining in SEC.
>>63912197
I want to see either Baylor or Okie State play a 'good' SEC team. I want to see just how overhyped the conference was this season.
UKULELE
>>63912244
If you want a win you'll want Baylor to play in that game.
>>63912244
>TCU vs Ole Miss
>MUH REMATCH
We know Ole Miss is getting the SEC bid, it's really a toss-up on the other one but I would guess TCU because they actually scheduled a Power 5 OOC.
the SEC is just so much better than the ACC. last year was just an off year.
south fuckin carolina beat UNC and took clemson to a close game

>tfw poor win was nail in the coffin for richt
>>63912499
Sanchez is a junior and the kid behind him (Dakota Austin) played amazing while he was out. I think he's better than Sanchez is.
Striker is special but we have more depth at front 7 than any other position. Losing 2 guys won't kill us.
You can't replace Shepard but the guys around him this year have really benefited from his presence. WR is another position we have a lot of depth at.
Our young ass o line will be even better and we still have Perine and Mixon.
>>63912683
Tbh, Georgia's program just got saved.
You shouldn't be happy.
>>63912724
Our secondary has depth, im just noting the loss of a number of impact players. I honestly thought Sanchez was a Senior, wow. The loss of Striker and Tapper is huge though I think. Tapper was gone much of the season and when he came back we saw results immediately. A lot of our team is young, but I'm not expecting much because Sheperd is gone and his best replacement (westbrook) isn't half the player and our offense is what ultimately lost the game against Texas.
>>63912744
Meh he was good enough to beat us usually.
Bulldogs just have delusions of grandeuer and think they should be winning SEC every year.
Hopefully their program slips back for couple years while sorting out new coach stuff.

>>63900526
Techfag here. Offensively, they're losing Brewer who's been hit or miss and means either relying on >Motley or Du'Wayne "The Rock" Lawson. Defensively they take a big hit losing both Maddy and Dadi along with a few others and there's always that sinking feeling that Fuller could leave for the draft even having sat the entire season out. Defense will be a bit messy but they'll still have the big offensive weapons like Bucky, Ford and McMillan, we'll just have to see what coach Fuente brings to the table
>>63904544

Why is Derrick Henry the front runner for the Hiesman? He is a meme back who relies on getting 30 carries a game and running behind a stacked o-line and shitty SEC tackling.
>>63916110
because after the loss, he put the team on his back and has been the best player on the best team in college football.
also he went head to head with Fournette who was the favorite, got 210 yards compared to Fournettes 31 yards. Henry showed up to the biggest game of the year, and Fournette couldn't be found.
Not hard to figure out. Plus at the end of the season he has been extremely dominant. 4th quarter drives where we just get first down after first down by pounding Henry at you and daring you to try and stop it.
Maybe watch the kid play and you'll figure it out.
>>63916140

Baker "Kliff fucked my bitch so I left Tech" Gayfield will win it

Do southerners really think this?
>>63916167

Nope. Henry is going to get 200+ yards and 3 touchdowns against Florida while Mayfield sits at home.
Henry is a lock man.

And here I was hoping that Chip Kelly would get fired and go to USC.
>>63916205

>>63916110
You try running 30 carries a game. That isn't an argument against him that's an argument for him.
Like holy shit, 30 carries against any team outside of the Big "defenses are for babies" 12 is amazing if it consistently results in yards in the 4th quarter.

alabama should be behind ohio state yet you won't see the media complain about it come tuesday.

the only way to be ranked higher than Bama is to beat them and also be undefeated.
You do not stay undefeated they will beat whoever beat you and move above you. Which doesn't apply to other teams but does to Bama.

well then you have to schedule another fbs game. you can't play against a lower division and count that towards your playoff eligibility. it's fucking retarded. why not just play 6 d3 schools and 6 conf games?
>>63917889
Found the kekeye
>>63917805
Because they are undefeated and play in a power 5 conference. Stop making up excuses on why your team lost and why Iowa is better than them.
>>63917961
>why they lost to them
Dantonio will see your team soon ;^)
>>63917805
One of two undefeated teams and have two wins over teams in the top 30. Both of which were away games
>>63917958
They do
It's always FCS, Mid-Major, another P5, and the rival for them
You can only count 1 win over a FCS team
If North Carolina had finished 6-6 they wouldn't be bowl eligible
>>63917958
>he doesnt know they only count 1 FCS win
>>63918023
>>63917994
they shouldn't be able to count ANY fcs wins. it's bullshit
>>63918034
Don't count mid-major wins either then
>>63918034
one is fine if the rest of the schedule is fine.
>>63917793
Yeah just looked it up and saw SC also made it illegal for Clemson and South Carolina to elect out of the rivalry game. At first I laughed and thought it was ridiculous actual legislation for football was enforced, but then I realized I wish Texas would do this for UT and A&M. Pretty interesting how much power state governments have over collegiate sports. Makes you wonder how much power the fans could theoretically have
>>63918091
the clemson/sc game was played in columbia until like 1960 because of the legislature.
>>63918091
The problem with Texas doing it is how much power the Big12 has in Texas.
Where the SEC and ACC each only have 1 team in SC.
>>63918111
>>63918091
>>63918125
the 1st 57 games of the series were at columbia before clemson was allowed to play a home game
>>63918048
Playing Toledo is not the same as playing Lamar. don't be retarded
>>63918111
It was the main event of the SC Fair
Kind of like the Texas-OU game
"Big Thursday" is what they called it
>>63918153
I'm pretty sure North Dakota State would be better than a lot of mid majors
>>63918153
>>63918210
Toledo fucking beat Arkansas
SEC wins shouldn't count!
>>63918216
imagine how much worse the SEC would look if they all played a MAC or AAC school in lieu of their annual FCS punching bag.
>>63918240
But all lot of them play a mid-major and a FCS team
why doesn't the sec schedule other P5 conferences for the back of their schedule instead of some two-bit team
>>63918253
most schools play 2 mid majors and 0 FCS
>>63918216
Portland State beat Wazzu
If you want to keep going with this I will
>>63918262
2 most likely overmatched mid-majors
>>63918210
just because the best handful out of 125 FCS programs is slightly better than the worst g5 schools doesn't legitimize playing FCS schools who all have scholarship restrictions.
>>63918210
NDSU is the lone exception, out of all Division 1 teams (FBS and FCS) they were the highest ranked FCS team at #30
Imagine that, an FCS team right outside of the top 25
>>63918263
Keep what going?
I don't think FBS teams are inherently better than FCS teams. I think there's d2 teams that can beat fbs teams.
Shit my rankings are in the OP.
>>63918299
who exactly do you think takes your rankings seriously?
>>63918125
That's true, but I can't imagine that being much of a hurdle. Rick Perry had no trouble getting in Texas' business and running Bill Powers out of town. I don't see how Wheelchair Abbott can't intervene either.
>>63918129
>>63918111
seriously? was clemson an all-black school or something?
>>63918322
The Citadel?
>>63918240
isn't that basically bama's schedule this year?
>>63918326
read up on the rivalry, clemson was barely allowed to even become a university because the legislature almost didnt allow it to happen
>>63918299
>tfw played football at a D3 semi-powerhouse (new england lol)
we'd get toasted by a D2 school, and any FBS team would shrek a D2 school
How do yall do it? Constantly arguing over strength of schedule. It's all circular dudes. Why not just move to a team that everyone in the nation knows is good?
Sure you'd be bandwagoning (and thus objectively inferior to someone who went to the school like me), but even bandwagoner Tide fans are more rational than fans of a meme team like Notre Dame or Baylor, or even (the) tOSU at this point.
Join us.
Thanks for playin' yall.
>>63918296
>lone exception
No. Every year there's a handful of FCS schools that would shit on most FBS mid-majors. An FCS team right outside the top 25 also isn't that unbelievable. Marshall was probably a top 15 team back when they were FCS.
>>63918329
Surely you don't think that Jacksonville State would beat OSU or Houston
>>63918289
A lot of g5 teams are so poorly funded that it doesn't really matter the number of scholarships compared to FCS teams
They suck
i want to see bama get absolutely btfo. preferably by oklahoma again, but anyone will do.
>>63917990
>top 30

>>63918370
>Others Receiving Votes
>>63918347
Kansas, Maryland, Purdue are pretty fucking bad.
And they're P5.
D2 schools could beat Conf USA for sure. They stack up super teams with rejects.
>>63918360
No but I think they're the best FCS team, and better than 6-6 fbs teams at least
>>63918338
>In 1961, the USC fraternity Sigma Nu pulled what some have called the greatest prank in the rivalry's history. A few minutes before Clemson football players entered the field for pre-game warm ups, a group of Sigma Nu fraternity members ran onto the field, jumping up and down and cheering in football uniforms that resembled the ones worn by the Tigers. This caused the Clemson band to start playing "Tiger Rag," which was followed by the pranksters falling down as they attempted to do calisthenics. They would also do football drills where guys would drop passes and miss the ball when trying to kick it. Clemson fans quickly realized that they had been tricked, and some of them angrily ran onto the field. However, security restored order before any blows could be exchanged. The Carolina frat boys had also acquired a sickly cow they planned to bring out during halftime to be the "Clemson Homecoming Queen", but the cow died en route to the stadium. Carolina won the game 21-14.

>Mack Brown "absolutely interested" in UVA job
Holy fuck, talk about falling off your horse. He would rival Larry Coker for being the most washed-up head coach.
The 1946 game could be the most chaotic in the football series. Two New York mobsters printed counterfeit tickets for the game. Fans from both sides were denied entrance when the duplicate tickets were discovered, which led to a near riot. To add to the wild scene, a Clemson fan strangled a live chicken at midfield during halftime. Fans from both sides of the rivalry, many of whom who had been denied entrance, along with fans who poured out of the stands, stormed the fences and gates and spilled onto the field. It took U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who attended the game along with Strom Thurmond, to settle down the hostile crowd. Once order was restored, fans were allowed to stand along the sidelines, with the teams, while the second half was played to the game's conclusion.

>>63918700

Why do people think a win over Clemson will be enough to cause UNC to jump the loser of the B1G titld game, Ohio State and Stanford?
UNC is out no matter what scenario happens.
>>63918700
Rose bowl will be Iowa, not us.
>>63919078
Because they'd be a 1-loss conference champion with a win over the #1 team. The loser of the B1G championship game and Ohio State have no chance at the playoffs at this point anyway the only teams that can still sneak in are Stanford, Florida, or UNC
>>63919011
They won't
>>63919180
Just like the Germans wont go around the Maginot Line?
>muh Ardennes will stop tank divisions
>>63919160
That won't give UNC enough of a boost and if you really think it would you are delusional. UNC will still be below Clemson if they beat Clemson, that's how weak UNC's resume outside of Clemson is (same way Stanford was miles above Northwestern all season despite head to head results). If Alabama, Clemson, and Stanford all somehow lose, there will be two Big Ten teams and either Alabama or Clemson still despite losing the Conference Championship game. Most likely Clemson. UNC cannot jump Clemson's collection of ranked wins and far more difficult SoS, they cannot make up for losing to SCAR, and they cannot make up scheduling 2 FCS opponents just by beating Clemson alone. It's not the BCS anymore, so the committee is looking at the full resume. Even with a win against Clemson added on, UNC's schedule does not even approach anyone else's.
>>63919246
Wow a descent "muh France surrender" joke.
>>63919260
Hey faggot. Your teams not making it. You're not on the committee. You're a cum loving douchebag who is talking out of his ass. Cut the shit. Enjoy playing Houston in the Fuck Nigga Bowl.
>>63919291
Ohio State probably would not make it. The second B1G team would be the one that lost the CG. However, UNC is not making it if you've spent even one second paying attention to how the committee does their rankings.
It's not the BCS era anymore.
>>63918535
Not nearly as crazy by a LONG shot but I love how the Little Brown Jug became a trophy.
After Yost took over coaching the Wolverines in 1901, the team went on to win 28 straight games. In the meantime, Minnesota assembled one of the best teams in school history, so Gopher fans were excited about possibly ending the Wolverines' streak.
When Yost and the team came into Minneapolis for the 1903 game, student manager Thomas B. Roberts was told to purchase something to carry water. Yost was somewhat concerned that Gopher fans might contaminate his water supply. Roberts purchased a five-gallon jug for 30¢ from a local variety store.
Twenty thousand fans watched the matchup between the two teams in an overflowing Northrop Field. Minnesota held the fabled "point-a-minute" squad to just one touchdown, but hadn't yet managed to score a touchdown of their own. Finally, late in the second half, the Gophers reached the endzone to tie the game at 6. As clouds from an impending storm hung overhead, pandemonium struck when Minnesota fans stormed the field in celebration. Eventually the game had to be called with two minutes remaining. The Wolverines walked off the field, leaving the jug behind in the locker room of the University of Minnesota Armory.
>>63919336
The only possible way of Ohio State making it now is if Clemson, Bama, Stanford, and MSU all lose
>>63919354
The next day custodian Oscar Munson brought the jug to L. J. Cooke, head of the Minnesota athletics department, and declared in a thick Scandinavian accent: "Yost left his yug." Exactly how Munson came to possess the jug is a bit of a mystery. Some accounts say that Munson purposely stole the jug in the chaos that ended the game, although most believe it was accidentally left behind. Thomas Roberts, writing in 1956, stated that the jug had served its purpose, so he intentionally left it sitting on the field.
Still, Cooke and Munson were excited to have this little bit of memorabilia, proceeding to paint it brown (it had originally been putty-colored and currently is painted half blue, which is Michigan's color) and commemorate the day by writing "Michigan Jug –; Captured by Oscar, October 31, 1903" on the side along with the score "Michigan 6, Minnesota 6". Of course, in the spirit of the moment, Minnesota's score was written many times larger than that of Michigan.
>>63919358
I personally think even then MSU gets in over us. I'm not 100% on that but I think it's highly possible
I cant wait for the aOSU-UNC fuckall potato bowl or whatever they get.
>>63919411
I don't think they would, they'd have more losses and they also wouldn't have a conference championship. Even with the head to head win I don't see how you bump them up after they lose a game
>>63919493
Because MSU would have 3 wins against top 20 opponents, including a top 10/top 5 opponent in OSU, while OSU would have just 1 win over a top 20 opponent
>>63903311
cfb is a better wife
I mean all things considered, if you said UofM would go 9-3 at the start of the season people would think you were crazy. r..right..?
>>63919620
I thought they would be like 7-5 or 8-4 desu. Though that was when BYU had Taysom Hill and before Penn State gave up 11 sacks in one game to a G5 opponent, including one on a two-man rush
>>63919620
I thought they'd BTFO Utah and MSU.
I thought the aOSU-Mich game was gonna be a playoff play in.
As a Nebraska fan can they just fire Riley and get Richt now?
VT is going to be unreal with Fuente there. I'm glad Tennessee only plays them at the beginning of next season and not later.
Come on guys, Harbaugh made Luck and Kappernick look good.
>>63919721
They're getting Spurrier.
I don't much appreciate this shitposting about Bama. If they win against Florida they are in. Then let the play on the field decide it. Believe in The Process.
>>63919657
>le two man rush sack face
>>63919747
Nah, Richt makes too much sense. He's a Nebraska native, runs a clean program, and is a really nice guy. And he doesn't have the depressing mediocrity that is Mike Riley.
>>63919772
He makes no sense.
He's literally Bo.
He is the same exact fucking thing. They got fired for the same reason even. They go 9-3 on the weak side of conferences.
>>63919809
Bo was fired because he was "too mean." The didn't get it done was just the excuse Eichorst threw out to fire him. It's why he hired "the nicest coach in Football" like three days later.
>>63919336
Man it hurts but it's the truth we gotta face. Fucked our whole post season with that MSU faggotry playcalling. Props to MSU and Iowa though, no h8. At least we fucked Michigan sideways

>>63920022
It's insanely ironic that if this play never happened, we would be in the B1G CG and a game away from the playoffs now.
And despite that, I still find this play funny as fuck
>>63919877
>Mean
Did he make them stand in an equipment room or something?
If that really is their reason they don't even deserve to be 9-3. And should try Richt without Georgia recruiting.
>>63920130
only scenario we wish Shitigan hadn't fucked up. was 1/million to go full retard like that. I'd laugh more if it wasn't so damning
>>63920130
???? if that play had never happened your team still would have been smashed by Ohio State, and both teams would have 1 conference loss. Ohio State would have gone to the CG if that hadn't had happend and youd still drop after that blasting.

>Linemen: Amphibious Assault Ship ("Enables the invading force to gain access")
So they just ran out of ships at that point and said fuck it with what the lineman get didn't they
>>63920286
I assume it's Beck's fault since they moved Warriner into the box to keep Beck from fucking up and their offense was immediately 20x better
>>63920286
Urban for letting our OCs be the former Army OC and the former Nebraska OC
>>63920351
Jesus Christ. There wasn't anyone else to fill the void? I guess it was just a hit and miss with Beck. I mean, Herman was really a nobody until Urban hired him. Before he was at tOSU, he was the OC for Rice and Iowa State.

pick one.
I was at the Stanford-Wisconsin rose bowl and there were by far more Wisco fans in the stands
>>63919729
Actually Kappernick needs a Rb that is super fast he can hand the ball off to. And Luck needs an Offensive line to block for him. Then they both will be good again.
>tfw you BTFO scUM and get the #4 seed in the process
>>63920525
wouldn't go so far as to say he's trying to "destroy" the school. it's a ho-hum hire, but helton might turn out to be great. he's already gone 6-2 and 1-0 in bowl games at usc, in seasons of complete turmoil. I'd wager given a complete offseason and a couple seasons of recruiting, he'll get usc back to 0-2 loss seasons.
Plus he loves running the fucking ball right up the gut, something any sc fan can appreciate.
Hell, I wouldn't mind losing a few games if we play smash-mouth traditional usc-style football

that's a pretty gay sentence t-b-h family
>>63921332
Sure, but seriously, Curtis Samuel and Dunn are great but they aren't Zeke. Noah Brown back will be nice but he's not Michael Thomas. Taylor Decker can't just be replaced next man up.
On defense I think we'll be better off, especially if Powell stays. Washington and Bosa are gone, but we'll have Hubbard and little Bosa to step right in and fill their spots. We have some other great incoming pass rushers, too, if we decide to move Hubbard to Lee's spot. And that's if Lee goes pro, as he may stay for his junior year to try and get himself a top 10 draft position. The only spot to worry about is the corner across from Conley if Apple goes pro.
Still, we lose Joshua Perry, Vonn Bell, Adolphus Washington, and Joey Bosa. That's a brutal combination to lose.
We'll go 10-2 next year with a loss to Oklahoma and a choke against someone else

>>63921529
It's clearly JT's team next year. Losing Zeke and Bosa hurts but the rest of those players are all ready to be replaced by even more talented juniors. Not having to deal with the Cardale/JT saga and not having the pressure and hangover that comes with following a championship season means it'll be a much looser locker room. I think we'll surprise everyone next year.
>>63921660

Or winning the Natty can change that really quick.
>>63921675
We don't have players that are better than Lee, Bell and Washington beneath them, and Noah Brown is not ever going to be Michael Thomas. Do you know anything at all about our roster? There are not more talented players waiting to take the place of those guys right now, our sophomore class is nowhere near the strength of that junior class of Bosa, Lewis, Lee, Bell, Apple, and Conley, four of six we might lose. We don't have the next Vonn Bell on our roster right now and we really don't have the next Eli Apple ready to go yet. DT will also be a concern since we are losing both starters there.
Urban's 2012 recruiting class is one of the best ever and we are losing almost all of them before they reach their senior year, some of whom we are losing as Sophomore redshirts. It will be very hard to retool since the class that's supposed to be next year's starters was this and last year's starters, and most are going pro.
JT is not among the best players from that class
>>63921599
we lost to nebraska and beat purdue 24-21 how is it not still that way?
>>63921784
>Do you know anything at all about our roster?
Lee isn't going anywhere. He's not ready and neither is Marshall. Literally the rest of those players you listed are all just pieces in the system. And Thomas is good but he's not as good as you're making him out to be. Brown will be much better. You're buying waaaaay too into the hype. Urban will simply plug in the new pieces and they'll be ready by the end of spring.
And JT isn't the best from his class because he had injury problems in HS. Those were the only concerns. He's a top 5 recruit without the knee injury easily.
