Clemson only drops 5 spots after losing to Syracuse, while Oklahoma takes a free fall to #12 after losing in a similar fashion to ISU.
What's wrong with this picture?

Must be some sort of conspiracy to help Alabama.

From what I saw yesterday, I'm not so sure Alabama needs help. The Machine keeps grinding away, while others jockey for position...and oh yeah, Oklahoma is in the Big 12. Over the years, I've noticed a faint, almost undetectable bias toward the Big 12 going way back to the old SWC....but it's probably just me..

Ohio State has been playing weak opponents since the loss to OK, but they've hung 38, 54, 56, 62 and 56 on the next five. What does that mean? Probably not a whole lot other than they've untracked a stalled offense going back to last year. Next up in two weeks after a bye is current #2 Penn State. They win that game and they'll move closer to the CFB final four. Not out of this yet.

Seeing how the playoff committee has operated since its inception, even though they are supposed to establish their own poll based on season performance, their polls end up nearly matching the AP and Coaches Polls.

Quit looking at the Polls, they don't mean anything. Until November, maybe late November. You should be looking at injuries. Then there is always next year !

That might work if they beat NC State in the regular season and win the ACC. But if State wins and/or they lose the ACC championship, things will get interesting.

Maybe this is their year. They even beat Syracuse this year, a good omen!

Do we have any BC football fans on here??? Interested to see if anyone has an informed opinion on their QB situation.
My starting QB is committed to BC, wondering if he's got a shot at starting as a true freshman. https://n.rivals.com/content/prospec...-valecce-15140 |

Yes, if they are going to do it, now is the time. This State team is vastly better than last year's, and if they can replicate Syracuse's game plan, they have a good shot.

It will take a lot more than replicating a game plan to replicate what Syracuse did.
If Kelly Bryant is still injured you have a much better shot. If the defense spends most of the game on the field due to lack of offensive production you have a shot. If the kicker continues to suck balls and miss everything. You have a much better shot. After seeing the tempo and adjustments from Syracuse, the defensive coordinator will fix that over the next couple of weeks. I will take nothing away from NC State. Great team. Lots of talent. But it won’t be a walk in the park to beat Clemson and not as simple as it’s being presented to do. Same thing with Alabama and Georgia. Lots of things will need to align and fall into place for a loss to occur. |

As far as these polls go, there should be a penalty for barely eking out a win against a weaker opponent. Not as precipitous a drop as actually losing, but they shouldn't just get a pass because they (luckily) won the game but got their ass handed to them every step of the way until the final seconds tick off the clock.
That would be a more sane way of approaching this whole poll nonsense, because at this point just winning out isn't enough. Especially when you consider all of the cream puffs a team like Alabama has on their schedule. Quote:

Alabama plays 1 more non power 5 school than Oklahoma, and they also play a conference championship, which Oklahoma wont, so the schedule differences are negligible.

I'm looking at their schedule right now, just a couple of teams really stand out as being formidable opponents.
Although who knows, perhaps Mercer is tougher than everybody thinks.

ETA: Good thing TCU has the win over jackson state to really prove their worth in the top 10. Seriously, your bias is getting old. You dont like Alabama, we get it. I can really care less about the team, but their program is a powerhouse. You're make arguments for the sake of making arguments. Alabama will finish the season playing Georgia, one of the current best teams in the country, and will go on to the playoffs if they win, while your Big 12 schools will just declare someone a champion and hope that team appeals to the playoff committee.

Wrong. Big 12 now has a championship game. Not that I hold much stock in the Big 12 these days. The only teams they can beat are themselves and over-ranked B1G teams.
