Re: No love for Ohio State

Unless Bama gets upset, this is exactly what I wanted to see. I want FSU to be the team to dethrone Bama and the SEC.

Re: No love for Ohio State

New rankings are out!

1. Alabama .996
2. Florida State .962
3. Ohio State .893

Yay, they made number 3 in the computers, but that's a HUGE gap. OSU needs one of those two teams to choke while continuing to kick ass, and I dunno if that's gonna happen...

Re: No love for Ohio State

They were 4th in the computers, but the human polls kept them at number 3 (as opposed to Stanford leap frogging them).

Re: No love for Ohio State

IDK if Oregon was playing backups or what, but Arizona stomped them, so they're out of the picture and Stanford is on to the conference title game. (that out-of-bounds flip for Mariota's first pick was right out of a basketball game, fucking sCK)

Still don't see Bama or FSU releasing their chokehold on the title game, though.

Re: No love for Ohio State

I hate the big 10 they always have easy schedules and are so overrated. I remember that stretch in the mid 00's when everyone was on Ohio State's dick but they lost like every bowl game ever.

Well I'll be damned. Will be interesting to see how the rankings end up.

Re: No love for Ohio State

This thread title is pretty accurate, because I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn jumps OSU.

Regardless, both will still have conference title games, and neither of those are guaranteed wins. This is going to be a crazy finish to the season.

Well at least next year there will be a playoff system in college football so we will know.

Re: No love for Ohio State

The problem with Ohio State is also the problem with Florida State: a weak nonconference schedule. The Buckeyes played Buffalo, San Diego State, at California and Florida A&M. That's three unimpressive FBS teams (combined record: 16-20) and one from the lesser FCS subdivision.

Florida State did the same thing. Well, no -- the Seminoles did something worse. They played Nevada, Bethune-Cookman, Idaho and at Florida. That's three even more unimpressive FBS teams (combined record: 9-27) and one from the lesser FCS subdivision.

So we go to the conference slate. The Big Ten is bad, yes, but the ACC is worse. There is statistical data to support that conclusion, mainly the Big Ten's slightly better record in nonconference play -- 77.1 winning percentage, compared to the ACC's 73.2 winning percentage -- even though the Big Ten's composite non-conference strength of schedule is just a notch ahead of the ACC's.

The point is not: The Big Ten is superior to the ACC! The point is this: If we're crushing Ohio State for its weak nonconference schedule and its lousy conference affiliation, why doesn't Florida State get crushed for the same thing?
