Higher than I thought they'd go but I'll take it!

Boy...passing five of those teams is a tough row to hoe. Cross your fingers!

They're just screwing with us now. Dangling an at large bid...I don't see it without major carnage ahead of us, like 3 Big 12 teams losing multiple games to get knocked out in addition to SEC cannibalization.

The worst part is the only alternative is rooting for Riley to beat Cignetti outside of the Coliseum. Something neither want to root for, nor expect in a million years to happen.

Indiana, without playing a game, drops from No. 4 to No. 9.

Nine SEC teams are ranked.

Does a close loss at 2-loss Texas overcome Ole Miss being destroyed at unranked Florida and at home by Georgia?

2-loss Bama in the top 10, fine. But ahead of a Tennessee team that beat Bama. Because Bama just defeated an overrated LSU team and lost a close game against Georgia in Tuscaloosa.

What does Mizzou have to do not to be ranked?

SSecDD.

However, Georgia deserves to be ranked No. 1.

A 24-team PO will eliminate some of the bias, but not all, before the CFB committee uses disclosed metrics to support their rankings, like the CBB committee.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

OK, it still sucks. But there is only one certain way into the PO for OBD. Win the last B1G championship game.

SC paving the way for a Ducks PO spot while the Trojans play their way to San Antonio would be double the pleasure, and double the 2026 fun. 😍
