Then they turned around and beat the undefeated two-time defending champs. FSU needed Riley Leonard to re-injure himself to not lose to Duke at home, and they barely beat a terrible BC squad, and they looked like lukewarm hotdog water against an awful Florida squad. I could go on.

Uh, this same Louisville team got blown out by PITT. Just because they beat us while ND had half their roster on life support doesn't mean anything.

You had one job Louisville. One. Fucking. Job.

The scheduling. Louisville got blown out by PITT of all teams the next week.

FSU is going to escape this, Alabama or Texas is going to jump them, and Michigan will draw FSU in the semifinal. Because God hates each and every one of us.

Good lord, this is the kind of football that would compel people to make paint drying the official American Pastime.

As much as I'd love that, I want Michigan to burn. I don't want them getting a freebie against a Travis-less FSU squad. Even then, it might not matter, Texas will probably get in over Bama anyway. The best hope for the SEC is for both Michigan AND FSU to lose. Which, I would not be against.

Probably avoid all the injuries by not having to play 8 weeks straight.

Iowa played one of the most offensively inept schedules in the country this year. The best offense they played this year was Penn State, and they gave up 31 points to them. And as we've seen for much of the year, Penn State's offense is very mediocre. Iowa's defensive success is neutralized by...

Well, they've looked like crap against the only 2 teams they've played with a pulse. They may manage to score more, but that's just because Iowa's defense will be continuously left out to dry by that other side of the ball.

Kirby doing his best Marcus Freeman impersonation.

Washington is 13-0. They're in. If any undefeated team is unsafe, it's FSU, because their resume isn't particularly great, and with no Travis, it's going to tough to judge them based on the stronger parts of their resume. Hopefully Iowa upsets Michigan and I can chill for this playoff season.

Frankly, I think Washington should jump Michigan. They've looked more impressive and have played a much tougher schedule. Wins over Oregon (twice), Arizona, Oregon State vs. wins over Ohio State (once), Iowa and Penn State. That said, if FSU wins, I'd rather Michigan have to face Alabama or...

OSU's defense gave up 30+ in 7 of their 12 games, including a 45-3 loss to Central Florida. And they should've lost to 5-7 BYU last week. None of this is surprising.

They're Ohio State with a legit QB. Michigan hasn't been able to really do much offensively against good defensive teams. They've done just enough against teams whose offenses have not been up to snuff. Washington are effective both ways.

Agreed, though I'll say that this only really reflects poorly on Rico. I don't think James and Merriweather's choice to hit the portal had much to do with Stuckey being let go. Seems more like they knew they were stuck behind freshmen and took this opportunity to go elsewhere and try and get a...

I don't think Stuckey getting the axe was the reason Merriweather or James are gone. Merriweather had a terrible season and was losing snaps to freshmen like Greathouse, Faison and Flores. James was running 4th in a 5 man freshmen class, at best. Didn't help him that Faison emerged, and...

Uh, the hell we can't. ND shouldn't be in the situation they're in at WR. Losing 2 freshman receivers, especially one that contributed as much as Flores did, sucks. But the reality that we signed as many receivers in this freshman class than Kelly/Del did in 3 of their final 4 classes...

Wish him the best, but this is not a smart decision on his end. 2 guys just transferred out, you had a legit shot to play a lot in the bowl game and you're bailing.

Kinda surprised that Duke hasn't reached out to Golden. I'd take him over Knowles. He has a track record and has succeeded as a HC at a program where things are stacked against him.
