On3 Predicts the PO Committee's Top-25 - Oregon is 3-1 vs. this predicted Top-25 - Six B1G teams are in this Top-25 - No. 5 UCLA 8-0, No. 6 Indiana 8-1, No. 10 Ohio State 6-2, No. 15 USC 7-2, No. 22 Iowa 6-2, and No. 25 Northwestern 6-2. 10 SEC teams in the Top 25, including 3-loss No. 20 South Carolina and 3-loss No. 21 Florida. On3's prediction shows the PO committee buying Greg Sankey's SEC schedule strength argument. Greg certainly has a point after the SEC went 10-2 against P4 opponents out of conference. But ten of the 16 SEC teams ranked? Greg's SOS point is also strengthened by the Preseason AP Poll Top-25 Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, and Washington not in the Week 9-10 AP Top-25.

This was ND's biggest complaint last season. The Irish lost to Miami in Week 1, and Miami doesn't jump ND before the final ranking? Notre Dame being ranked above Miami before the final ranking on 12/7/2025 is a result of a media company and not the NCAA, managing the postseason. The myriad rankings by the CFB committee benefit ESPN's bottom line, while causing unnecessary confusion. Oregon is 3-1 against ESPN's Strength of Record rankings updated through Week 9. Wins against No. 24 Northwestern, No. 19 Boise State, and No. 14 USC—loss to No. 3 UCLA. Oklahoma State, after the Week 9 loss, 51-49 at Iowa State, dropped out of the AP Top 25 and the SOR Top 25, and Illinois never made the SOR or AP Top 25. Nebraska choked its way to another loss, this time to UW. USC and Iowa are back in the AP Top 25, but never should have dropped out. 2-loss Northwestern, instead of falling to No. 26 in the AP, should have remained ranked. Instead, 3-loss South Carolina and 3-loss Florida are ranked. As ESPN's Bill Connelly recently noted, the SEC was paid to play a ninth conference game and should not ipso facto benefit in the rankings from playing nine games. BTW, No. 6 Indiana is one of the many Big Ten teams with QB injury issues. Indiana was historically bad when B1G HQ created the conference schedules in 2023; Indiana, after playing nine straight games, has a much-needed Week 10 bye. No other P4 conference asked its defending champion to play nine straight games to start the season. The Trojans are also off this week, SC's 2nd bye because it played a Week 0 game. SC plays Indiana in Bloomington in Week 11. I won't be surprised if three 2-loss SEC teams, Alabama, best out-of-conference (OOC) win against FSU, Texas, solid OOC win over Ohio State with a healthy Julian Sayin, and Ole Miss, best OOC win against Louisville, are in the PO committee's Top 12. I think Ohio State could be ranked lower than No. 11 and bumped by G6 Boise State, out of the committee's first-ranking PO field. I hope I (again) am in error. It will help Oregon's playoff chances if the Buckeyes are ranked in the top 10 before Saturday's game in Columbus. Beat Brutus!

Probably correct, Mike. But without QB Jordan Travis, FSU did win the ACC Championship Game, defeating Louisville 16-6 to go 13-0. With the disappointment of being bounced in favor of Alabama, many of FSU's draft-eligible players, especially on defense, sat out the bowl game. Both FSU and Georgia would have been in a 12-team PO field. I recall Greg Sankey making a fool of himself lobbying for Bama, and Kirby Smart bemoaning the circumstances that led to the bowl beatdown of FSU. Alabama did give champion Michigan a battle in the Rose Bowl semifinal, which Michigan won in OT.

No. 28 Oregon is 3-1 vs. the Strength of Record Top 25. Loss to No. 3 UCLA. Wins against No. 14 USC, No. 19 Boise State, and No. 24 Northwestern. 7 Big Ten teams are ranked in the SOR Top 25; 8 SEC teams.

Great take, KK. I was not happy to see 2-loss NW at 26, but happy to see 3-loss OBD at 27. And I was not happy to see 2-loss Ohio State ranked No. 11 and not happy to see 2-loss SC ranked No. 18, but I was happy to see this considering next week's game in Columbus. Week 10 is loaded with great matchups. If ten SEC teams are in the committee's top 25, DUCK! Using the AP Poll, nine SEC teams, 56.25% of the conference, would be in a 24-team PO field; five Big Ten teams.

OK, a couple of thoughts: No. 18 USC 6-2 is ranked behind five 2-loss SEC teams, behind 2-loss Houston, and 2-loss No. 11 Ohio State, which the Trojans defeated 30-18. 5-3 South Carolina No. 23 and 5-3 Florida No. 25 are ranked. 2-loss Northwestern and 2-loss SMU lost competitive games on the road and are not ranked. Ten SEC teams are ranked. 10! In-conference losses are minimized, and in-conference wins are magnified. Will the PO Committee follow suit? No. 18 and No. 21 Iowa return to the top 25, which they should have not have left. Northwestern, with competitive road losses at No. 6 Indiana and No. 27 Oregon, drops out of the Poll in favor of two 3-loss SEC teams? 🤬🤬🤬

Others Receiving Votes: Northwestern No. 26; Oregon No. 27. Of course, two 3-loss SEC teams, Florida and South Carolina, are ranked. After a bad showing against UNC, Miami remains AP No. 1. I predict the PO Committee will rank Georgia No. 1. Of note yesterday. In the last minute of regulation time, the Minnesota kicker and the Indiana kicker both made 60-yard FGs to send the game into OT. Another close-call win for the Hoosiers with an invigorated USC coming to town on 11/14.

Columbus didn't give up the ship, and Dan isn't ready to go down with the ship. Last time Dylan was in Columbus, he was this close to a Husker Do and having a great Day.

Unfortunately, the Buckeyes' loss in LA means OBD will not be playing a top-5 team in Columbus. I was hoping for an Ohio State win to give the 3-loss Ducks a shot at a top-5 team in Columbus. But the SC win is now a better win for Oregon; 2-loss SC will be ranked in the AP Poll and by the PO Committee. Unfortunately, the OK State Cowboys lost a shootout on the road against Iowa State. Boise State is in a battle vs. Texas State. If Oregon can win the Day in Columbus, it will still be a B1G win and help the cause for the rest of this season and next season. AP Poll - I think Miami stays at No. 1. Miami is now 1-5 in its last six games against UNC. With the win, the Canes, when ranked No. 1, have a 29-game win streak against unranked teams. PO Committee No. 1 - I'll place my bet on 1-loss Georgia. Where will UCLA be ranked? And also Indiana with another close call? Every Saturday is an adventure. No team is safe. Someone, please clone today's Dylan, who was not the clown we watched against Illinois. Beat the Bucks!
