SB Nation composite CFB rankings
I don't recall seeing this posted before, but SB Nation has a top 25 composite ranking that uses the AP Poll, Coaches Poll, S&P+, Massey, and witchcraft.
OSU, Clemson, Baylor, and LSU are the top 4. MSU is at 11 and we're right behind at 12.

Clemson has been impressive and I am surprised they are not getting more love from te coaches i.e. grad assistants who do the polls. I think it's just the fear of the coming Clemsoning. They've been burned too often before by believing in Clemson but right now advanced stats show Clemson is definitely top 4 in the country.
Will be interesting if Baylor can just plug and play yet another new QB in that offense. If so I might just ram my head into a wall considering how we have trouble finding just 1.
And as much as I dislike ND have to give them credit for plugging along with a backup QB as well.

is the only real head scratcher for me. They haven't beaten anyone this year.
I think LSU beats Bama and makes it into the playoffs.
October 27th, 2015 at 11:01 AM ^
They still have Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, and TCU. All top 15 teams. Without their QB.
October 27th, 2015 at 11:05 AM ^
Well, their backup was the composite #38 and #2 Dual Threat QB, who also happened to play at the high school where Briles coached, so he knows the system... toss in a bye week to prepare, and I expect Baylor to keep cruising. We'll see though

Going 3/3 with that schedule is going to be tough on a freshmen not matter what.
October 27th, 2015 at 11:52 AM ^
true but he has gotten some decent playing time so far this season since basically every game is a blowout for baylor so its not like he hasnt played at all
October 27th, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
Stidham is good, but I'm not sure Russell goes perfect over that stretch, less alone a true freshman.
At least they get KSU in a week to warm up.
October 27th, 2015 at 12:24 PM ^
who seems to have turned it around after beating Oklahoma and Kansas State in its past two games.

Another head scratcher for me is iowa. I know they are undefeated, but who have they really played, while they should definitely be ranked top 20 so far, 10 seems a little too high for me.

Granted Fournette is the real deal and more, but Bama will sell out on the run to stop him, and they have maybe the best front seven in America. So that means that if LSU wants to win that game, their passing game will likely have to win it for them. And when was the last time you could count on a QB for LSU to win the big game?
Of course if LSU wins that game on the back of Fournette somehow, you might as well hand him the Heisman right after the game.

But I just have a feeling that LSU might go all the way this year. There really hasn't been a dominant team in any conference, and we'll be knocking the defending NC's out of the playoffs on 11/28.
One more big win for Miles before he retires to a sod farm in Saline.

LSU reminds me of Ohio States team last year. Very young all around with studs everywhere. Only 1 Senior starter on offense and 2 on defense. I think next year is LSU's year. Harris is a good QB and has been progressing but I don't see him being able to lead them to the title this year, but another year of experience.. I'd watch out for them next season.

Clemson is where it is pretty much due to poll inertia. They were below all the teams in front of them in the preseason polling except LSU, who was 1 behind them and since they're in the SEC, they get a jump.

I believe you are right, although this could either be the CFB playoff rankings or the long-awaited Pew Research Center poll on differing levels of disdain for Notre Dame across major conferences. I would be interested to see both of them myself.

Dude in the orange shirt has some cat-quick reflexes right there.

Can't stop watching that. Seems perfect that the ball finds one of the two people not watching the game. Waste of good tix right there.

Lots of "play in" games coming up assume no weird stumbles
- OSU v MSU
- TCU v Baylor
- LSU v Bama
- ND v Stanford
- Clemson v FSU is not a play in per se but Clemson's only real game left.
And if Stanford gets by ND and Utah doesnt lose from here, the P12 championship game will also be a play in.
Oklahoma could still get in too as they have Baylor, TCU, Ok State. Damn B12 is all backloaded in Nov this year.
October 27th, 2015 at 12:42 PM ^
You missed one!
OSU - Michigan
October 27th, 2015 at 11:00 AM ^
Utah should be ahead of Michigan

Utah played unexpectedly bad against USC, especially Wilson. I mean, come on, two picks that were thrown almost directly into Cameron Smith's chest? Utah had an early lead and then promptly transformed into an awful turnover machine. The game was extremely annoying because Vegas liked USC as the favorite and Utah played like they were trying to appease Vegas.

Since the beginning of the season, Rudock has gone from atrocious to serviceable and the defense has gone from good to downright merciless (MSU game notwithstanding). At the very least, it would be a very close game.
October 27th, 2015 at 11:07 AM ^
lol @ witchcraft.
I mean, not that witchcraft is a laughing matter, but your use use of it was well-played.
October 27th, 2015 at 11:31 AM ^
Absolutely. Witchcraft is no laughing matter. My father was killed by a witch.

My god I'd love UM and MSU to play again this year. Let's just cancel the Minnesota game and schedule MSU instead. We'd win (again).
