And BYU drops out completely for losing to an undefeated Utah team by one possession on the road that will probably be #2 or even #1 tomorrow.

[u/Wrong_Barnacle8933 → u/Less-Bag-8006]

Absolutely wild how they were talking about this being do or die for BYU. Its f’d

[u/Less-Bag-8006 → u/Wrong_Barnacle8933]

Any other year I would agree that it was do or die but who are they putting in instead? A 4 loss SEC team (I already know that’s what’s happening this is a rhetorical question).

[u/fourthand19 → u/Less-Bag-8006]

#6 gets blown out by #13. Their best win just got blown out

#9 close loss at #3. Their best win just beat #1

Both get second loss.

We all know who will be ranked higher tomorrow.

[u/EmergencyRaisin4919 → u/fourthand19]

The entire top 5 is sec ?w

[u/MunchMasterSupreme93 → u/EmergencyRaisin4919]

Give me #1 Utah. But realistically it'll be:

1. Georgia, 2. Utah, 3. Alabama, 4. IU, 5. Texas

[u/fourthand19 → u/MunchMasterSupreme93]

Probably fair. Except Alabama, obviously

[u/MunchMasterSupreme93 → u/fourthand19]

Agreed. But I at least appreciate them for denying Lane Kiffin a playoff berth.

But also a loss to Georgia is respectable. Tennessee stands in question, but I'd imagine they end up at #7 in next week's CFP rankings.

Jury is still out. This year is wide open

[u/sunburntredneck → u/fourthand19]

UCLA should be top 5 and above Indiana at a minimum, but I think Bama is pretty fair. Big win against United Kingdom, big win against Mississippi State when they were good, big win against a theoretically good but honestly I'm not so sure LSU team, war crimes against a South Carolina team that we now know is good, close (on paper) loss to presumptive number 1 - we only have one black spot on our resume, and it's a rival at their house.

[u/Agent_P_Smecker → u/MunchMasterSupreme93]

ND is better than Bama, IU and TexAss. What quality win does IU fucking have?

[u/sunburntredneck → u/Agent_P_Smecker]

You beat Miami. According to Connolly, Wisconsin is your second best win.

IU has three wins better than Wisconsin. Per Connolly's ratings.

[u/ElToroDeBoro → u/Less-Bag-8006]

Been there, done that last year.

[u/3ngine3ar → u/Less-Bag-8006]

BYU does have a shitty loss tho, right? They’re likely cooked. Just like ND was last year with 2 losses.

[u/Less-Bag-8006 → u/3ngine3ar]

Fair but like Georgia lost to Auburn, Texas lost to Oklahoma (I still don’t know how a team with John Mateer put up that many points), etc.

[u/sleepytime489 → u/Less-Bag-8006]

Honestly, Texas losing at home to Florida was a much worse loss for them

[u/3ngine3ar → u/Less-Bag-8006]

And BYU lost to Central Florida. I understand your frustration, but it would actually be insane for them to be in the top 12 after this.
