Let's Predict CFP Rankings Again

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Personally I argued with UM fans saying no chance we are ranked ahead of MSU (I'm a UM fan). My ONLY thought is -- UM controlled much of the game and in all honesty, would have essentially ended the game, after the strip sack fumble recovered in the end zone for a TD. For some reason it was overturned, then the B1G came out and said they made a mistake.
That is the only reason I think they could make that decision ?!? In the end, it will play out on the field. UM and MSU are a whole lot of smoke and mirrors this year. It will be settled when we both play OSU.

That being said -- bet the over in the MSU OSU game. MSU ranks dead last in pass defense in CFB. OSU will pass for 700 yards if they want to. OSU struggles with physical teams who can run the ball -- that is MSU, so look for K9 to have a huge game.

There was a quote put out by the committee, or at least someone on it, that they put UM ahead because (paraphrasing) on paper they're the more complete team top to bottom statistically. MSU is one of the worst pass defense teams in the nation.

Doesn't really matter in the end, both teams have to go through OSU. That will determine everything.

Baylor somehow only falling 1 spot after losing to a 4-5 TCU team is the mystery of this weeks rankings

Seems like they really want to give Oklahoma a chance to jump up

Which ever or if any one of them win out, they are in the playoffs

Exactly. The rankings mean so little right now. Win out and you are in. Pretty simple.

I'm mostly concerned with beating Penn State at this point. I didn't realize until a few days ago how screwed we got on away games. @nebraska @Wisconsin @Michigan State and @Penn State is a lot rougher now than it seemed before the season. B10 home games Rutgers, Northwestern, Indiana and Ohio State lol. Basically like #14, #13, #12 and #1 in the B10

We have @Rutgers which nearly won at Michigan, @ Purdue which beat Iowa, @ Indiana and Northwestern (alright), and @ Ohio State. I’ll take your schedule over ours since all roads to Indianapolis go through Ohio State

I think I'd rather have OSU away because that would have given us basically every single game against a ranked team at home. We probably win MSU with a home crowd, have a better shot at MSU and have about the same shot at beating OSU away as we do at home lol.

Michigan State is 3-1 in Ann Arbor since Harbaugh came to town. I’m not sure that it’s as much of a home field advantage as you think.

One of those is in a stadium with no people in it.

In the scenario where Uga, Oregon, Ohio State and Oky are the teams at the end, I wonder if Oky would jump Ohio State to avoid a rematch between Ducks Bucks.

The committee has said no to that, but they could be lying.

Did you really just say that?

So it was a neutral field at most?

Are the pitches of the fields exactly the same in Ann Arbor and East Lansing?
