Houston losing to Navy certainly done them no favors – thus the greater need for style points. But if enough other schools falter, sure, why not? They have the best player, maybe the best non-Saban coach, and one lousy 2-point loss to a top-5 team on the road.
I don’t buy the “but they didn’t win their conference/division” argument. If 2 of the best are in the same segment, such is life. Especially when the head-to-head result is less than the home field advantage bookmaking bump.
I remember that one year when the #1 slot was a revolving door week to week. If Cards win out, they need a lot of help. Damn, bama hit!!! Wow!!! Targeting???
Playoffs
Winner of Bama and A&M goes undefeated and wins SEC = IN
Clempsun even with one loss wins ACC = IN
Winner of Meeeeeechigan/tOSU wins BIG = INNo way no how does UL get in ahead of any of those three
So they need UW to crater i.e., two losses
They need two loss OU to win the Big 12
At that point they’ve got to be more impressive to the committee than tOSU, Meeeeeechigan, one loss Baylor, one loss WVU etc, one loss aTmFastback: Lemme ask it like this.. if the roles were reversed and we were #7 in the same sitch as Ville would you want us to let up on a team? I for one would be mad as hell. But I bet Dave would take his foot off the gas, even though he’ll NEVER be in that hypothetical situation.
Alabama is in, even with 1 loss (which I don’t see happening), as is OSU/Mich winner.
Washington has to win out, I think.
Interesting things happen if Clemson loses – do both B1G get in? Louisville ahead of them? Both ACC if Washington loses? What if TAMU wins out after today’s loss?
West Virginny could also win out, though seems unlikely to me. They would still need a Washington and/or Clemson loss.
Regression is mean

Fixed that for you
AT, I’m not arguing about style points. The announcers were droning on about the cards road to the playoffs probably in an attempt to kiss the viewer’s —–. They made it sound rather easy for them to get in. I don’t think so at all. They need dual losses by other teams in the running if Clemson wins out. I would have tried to hang 80 on State. It’s not an easy road to get to #4.
Fastback, my bad. I think I confused u with another poster.. someone was pissed at Petrino for still passing late in the game! I had no problems with it. I say if ya don’t like em doing it then ya need to stop em! Again, apologies.
OK…
well… put today in the category of games that should have never been played…
at least NOT played the way we played…1. Da’Ville is a TOP TEN team with a Heisman Candidate QB; we are NOT.
2. same as above
3. same as above
4. Too much attention/commentary on last week’s “Moral Victory of the Decade” and the week before’s HurricaneBowl….
5. We are Southerners, as are most of the kids on our Team… We don’t like playing in the COLD… it was 50degrees at kickoff…
6. We are an AG School…. We don’t like playing on Artificial Grass…Besides, those Da’Ville cheerleaders/dancers had better moves than we did….
7. No compelling backstory/history/rivalry… to provide a little extra MOJO…
8. All the sports MOJO this weekend has been sent to CHICAGO… there was none left for us…
9. MaCallum has been quiet this week and did NOT stir it up….
10. Troll && I did NOT have any BEER in his frig at gametime….
11. B’rer ‘Roo was on a f’ing airplane????
12. BJ was watching English Soccor….
13. The Super Full Moon was last week…
14. DonaldDick && QueenB#tch are disrupting the normal patterns of mystical forces.
15. Da’Ville is a TOP TEN team with a Heisman Candidate QB; we are NOT.GOTT it???
I suspect we see a re-balancing of the astrological/mystical forces in time for next Saturday’s game back in Rawlee. Nevertheless, we ALL need to do our part.
GOTT it???
Troll… We Don’t drink all the beer we have on Friday night… WE leave some for the game or buy more.
GOTT it???

#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!AT, I lost a bundle on State vs VT about 5 years ago. 2 game teaser with State / R Wilson +10.5 points at home. 41-30 IIRC. In Vegas and up 7500. Never again. That pick 6 all most killed me.
You guys actually bet on NCState and make money ???
Didn’t know that was possible. I must have led a “sheltered life”.That said, I’ve learnt alot of sh#t on SFN I didn’t know…
One surprise after another….POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I try not to bet on State. They are one of those teams, and have been for years even before DD, where you don’t know what team is going to show up.
Fastback, I know the feeling brother. Losing a nail biter with some change on it hurts! I put a chunk of change (at least for me) on the UNC under a couple weeks ago during the hurricane because I KNEW I had +EV with the hurricane.. and that one paid off luckily! Closer than I’d have thought it would be though.
Which is a worse loss, this week or last week?
Last week for me. Because I got totally invested and sucked in.. I knew withing minutes after noon today would be bust.
