CFP Rankings: Michigan remains #3

1. Georgia

2. ohio state

3. Good Guys

4. Florida State? (WASHINGTON getting absolutely snubbed again)

 

The disrespect continues. BRING IT ON.

Clearly going into to Penn State and beating them in a dominant fashion means nothing to these idiots.

Keep winning fellas!

FSU feels a bit like TCU last year where they clearly are a step behind the other top teams but just keep winning close games.  Washington looks more dangerous and have played a tougher schedule in my opinion, but I also suspect if they win out they'll be in the playoffs.

Strictly by resume UW should be #1.  By "yikes that defense" they shouldn't.  But they have the best collection of wins (#6, #17, #22).  Compared to Georgia who has #9 and #13.  OSU has #12 and #19.  We have #12.  FSU has #15.

Huskies get #11 on the road next week and are actually 1 point dogs last I checked.

This does not really matter but I would love to hear the rationale for why OSU over Michigan.  Resume is comparable and Michigan better passes the eye test and has been more dominant.  Plus has two superior past seasons vs OSU (which seems to be the rationale for UGA at #1). But whatever.

This is the problem with preseason rankings, they continue to influence people's perspective long after they've become irrelevant.

Klatt dropped a crazy stat this week on his show: Texas A&M has only had two double digit win seasons since 1998. This idea that they were a good program on the cusp of breaking through was essentially fabricated by the preseason polls. I wish they didn't have any polls before week 7 at the earliest.

I’m really hoping The Game is 1 vs 2. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but would be great to get the “Game of the Century 2006” taste out of my mouth.

That 2006 game was rough, but the bad taste should've washed out by early 2007. See, events just a few weeks later showed us how little it mattered. It would've been different if OSU had routed Florida (rather than the other way around).

I think the 2006 Michigan team was overrated. (In case anyone has forgotten the definition, I don't mean that they were bad. They were very good, just not great.) A good collection of stars and several "just guys." The offensive line was a good example.

Meh, this is all to make crazy rankings and drive ratings.  There is no reason to do rankings now except to drive story lines.  At the end of the day, you win you get in.  Nothing else matters.
