2018 AP & Coaches Polls

How does Bama beat UGA twice? Assume you're not talking about the playoffs.

My bad, I thought they had a regular season game. Regardless, Georgia has LSU and Auburn.

I think they will drop one at LSU. Ed O will have his guys ready next week for a redemption win after a close loss in the swamp. I would not be shocked to see UGA struggle mightily @KY too. I think UGA will take care of Auburn between the hedges.

I'm pretty sure they come out the tuesday after our bye week.

Edit: Actually after Navy. From the CFP website:

The dates for the fall of 2018 are as follows:
Tuesday, October 30
Tuesday, November 6
Tuesday, November 13
Tuesday, November 20
Tuesday, November 27
Sunday, December 2 (Selection Day and Playoff Semifinal teams announced)

I thought they always came out the week after week 6? Oct 30 seems late

College football power rankings Rough week to be in the top 10

At this point, it's clear that quarterback Ian Book is the difference between Notre Dame being merely good and being a playoff contender. How much of a difference has he made? The Fighting Irish had been held under 30 points in seven straight games before Book entered the lineup. Now they've scored 30 or more points in each of his three starts. With defenses finally having to respect the pass, Dexter Williams (178 yards, three TDs) was able to run wild against the Hokies on Saturday. Now boasting wins over Michigan, Stanford and Virginia Tech, Notre Dame has a résumé that compares favorably with almost anyone else's in the nation.

Good stuff. FPI giving us 60% chance to make playoffs now too.

 

[Irish YJ]

FPI - ND up one spot to #7

The good - ND has the second best (to Clemson) to win out at 37.6%, and projected to be 11-1.

The bad - Remaining SoS is 64th, the worst out of all teams in the top 25


Tied for 11th in overall efficiency. O 30th, D 16th, ST 53rd

The SOS doesn’t even bother me if we go 12-0. If we are undefeated there’s no way you can put a one lose SEC team over us or like an Oklahoma. No way.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Like I said last week worst case we maybe lose 2 games left on our schedule and we still get a New Years 6 game

For sure if 12-0. Very dicey if we drop the last game of the regular season.
USC at the end of the year is the big nut for us.

They have their problems but they have a hell of a lot more talent than anyone else on our schedule.

Any team on the remaining schedule could pull an upset, Southern Cal is most capable.

We stomp Alabama 128-0 in the national championship game, of course!

Yup. They've been gutting out wins but looking spaz up and down. They have three games in a row coming up (CO, @Utah, and ASU). If they make it through that stretch, I'll bet they'll be far more confident and consistent.

I'd actually say FSU has more talent (on paper). 11th, 7th, 3rd, and 3rd ranked recruiting classes the last 4 years. That's an average of 6th best recruiting over the last 4 years. WT just sucks I guess. They almost got it going vs Miami, so I wouldn't be surprised if they've improved a lot by the time we play them.

In this movie, Saban (played by Wayne Johnson) is visited by a benevolent spectre (Al Bundy) to explore the lives (past, present, future) of former Alabama athletes who never made it pro, instead were subjected to years of physical and psychological torment for having believed their championship hardware would guarantee a rich and fulfilling life. Ultimately, Saban is left pondering his own aging reflection in a glass case of emotion, both figuratively and literally, Alabama trophies a-glimmering in the backdrop.

Realizing all the things he took for granted as a leader of young people, all the lives he marionated as though toys, he slowly cuts away the vainglorious memories of championship victories, one by one by one... Saban’s final come-to-Jesus moment unfolds during the championship game versus Notre Dame when he forcefully commands his players to have a sit-in protest, reading Doctor Faustus on the field, to rally against the pro-style abuses of collegiate football, effectively shutting down college factory football as millenials have only ever really known it as. Notre Dame rolls: 128-0.

Credits roll.

Final scene: Paul Finebaum morphs back into a cockroach and scurries under the stadium. Happy ending?

Better than watching Sean Austin getting carried off the field.

It amazes me how favored Clemson Is In the eyes of anyone on this planet... They have a well-built team but seem to be the front face of the ACC as their only true test.
As If they are the new FSU!

 

[Irish YJ]

Love the AP...
There are three 2 loss teams in the top 25. All are SEC teams.

 

[Circa]

If Indiana had a semi-decent QB they would have definitely beaten OSU.
Just crazy how terrible that score looks.

I'll go ahead and say Michigan should beat this OSU team.

Peyton Ramsey is a very good QB for a program like IU IMO. His QBR is comparable to Ehlinger from Texas.

It would take them a decade to get 6 wins.

As for 6-0 ... not even in his dreams.



I had Clemson listed as CL but 2 letter abbreviations screw up the formatting. There are others that look strange but should be intuitive ... well, to most people.
