On another note, Roll Tide.

Thought it was gonna be a blowout, then thought we were gonna give it away, then that Williams kid made a big play. For 17, or any age, he is a beast.

It Was a Blowout ... and Then it Wasn't ...

Curious, how did the Georgia Fans feel thru out and the Bama fans as well ????

I seen it at 24-7, couldn't believe it, while watching the Buckeyes.

Then saw the 4th quarter pretty much after My game was over.

Streaming SUX big time for going back and forth between games, particularly if 1 is on Network and 1 on Stream.

Well, I watched it at a casino in Biloxi. I got called a MF before 10 am for telling a fella in a Georgia tshirt “roll tide”.

Lol.

He changed his shirt at halftime.

Alabama drop 6 whole spots to 7th with loss to Vanderbilt. Not exactly certain how in the world it is possible to statistically parse defeating a school that hasn't lost in a few years... and losing at home to... Vanderbilt. How many teams in the top ten could beat Georgia... how many would lose to Vanderbilt? At least there is a playoff to manage such an occasion. Alabama can't afford to lose again though. That'll make the yoga harder.

I bet if Georgia and Or Alabama were to lose 2 games in the season they would still be in the top 12 and in the playoffs.

My bad. It was away at Vanderbilt.

Alabama lost to Tennessee which places them just below Vanderbilt in the SEC standings. Alabama has to win out and start hoping for an SEC collapse. Missouri and Vanderbilt can fall away, but there are five other teams in front of them that won't drop off as easily. What is something is Texas A&M are one spot ahead of them in the rankings... but first in the SEC.

It'd be quite something for Alabama to not make the first large open field playoff.

This week will be huge for Bama .... more than likely a Win this week and they make it (vs LSU), a Loss and they are more than likely out ... I Hope a 3 loss team doesn't make the Top 12, never know though.

1st week of the College Football Playoff Committee is out ...

What we learned from the first CFP rankings, plus brackets, bubble teams and a G5 stack

Heather Dinich gives takeaways from the first CFP ranking, plus eight teams on the bubble and a ranking of the Group of 5.

www.espn.com

With the old 4 team playoff set up, I believe, no team that Started the 1st week in 1st place ever Won it ...
We'll see IF that has any effect with the much larger field now.

Correction, I think i heard that 2 teams had.

This one of the more whacky seasons. Oregon might deserve a two round bye. Of course, thr way things are going, they might lose the next three.

Really? Oregon has beat a couple of decent teams, Boise St and tOSU, and didn't exactly smash those two. Rest of schedule is similar to Indiana and they are not who I think of when it comes to strength of schedule, coming in at somewhere around #100

Deserve a free pass in the playoffs? Not today!

Given how many home games they've had already, they don't deserve any extra help.

Strength of Schedule coming into the season or current ?

Oregons Remaining SOS is 57th
They started the season as 25th

Ohio State started the season at 23rd
Remaining is 49th ...
I'm sure a lot of that was the demise of TTUN
