Galloway's an arrogant prick who can sometimes be funny. This was one of those times IMO.
LSU dropped 11 places to 24th.
Apparently, the CFP doesn't buy the SEC hype...

If you woulda told me, CU would be ranked ahead of fsu and lsu this season, anytime during the last 5 years...I woulda laughed so ****ing hard then looked for your medical bracelet to get you back to your room safe.
Still came down to a final play at home against a bad MAC team. I'm playing the world's smallest violin for them.
FIFY
I just heard Kirk Herbstreit pick Ralphie as the outsider with a chance to upset the whole party and get in! WTH?
Herbie has been on the Buff bandwagon for a while.
He says something very positive about the Buffs every week. Not surprising.
These guys grew up with CU being good. They are excited when CU is good. People want CU to be good.

I've always considered Herbstreit to be an honest broker in his analyses of CFB despite the fact that he's a ****ing suckeye, and so I generally respect and appreciate his opinions on the matter.
But it also seems like he might at least a little bit be throwing a bone or two to his esteemed colleague Chris Fowler after so many years of the latter having to endure the collective misery of Buffs fans everywhere for the past decade or so. And I can't dislike him for that either.

Welcome back
We deserve to be where we are, but to be honest, I'm not sure we're the 12th best team in the country. We need to go out and prove it over these next 3 weeks. This team has a chance to do something very special (even though they've already achieved a lot). They need to go out there and give it everything they've got. No regrets.
I believe aTm lost there starting QB for the year, so I see them falling out of the playoff picture sooner rather than later
I think you're supposed to go to the doctor for that.

if we win out, I see us no lower than 7-8.
If others lose, magic can happen.

Yup - 2 of the 3 were asked for a team that could throw a monkey wrench in and they came up with Colorado.

I'm a kirk herbstreit fan, I think he knows college football and he just reiterated why i like him......talking about who is the one 2 loss team that could get in...his response and couldn't have said it better myself..."How about Ralphie?" Love it.
One thing that bugs me: how is USC ranked higher than WSU? WSU was ranked last week and USC was not.
Both won last week. USC's opponent (Oregon) was probably marginally stronger than WSU's (Arizona), but USC was at home and WSU was on the road. Moreover, even though they both won by more than 3 scores, WSU won by 62 points and USC won by "only" 25. Even though neither was an impressive opponent to beat, WSU's win was definitely more impressive.
Additionally, the only other thing that would have changed since last week was how "good" wins look and how "bad" losses look based upon how those opponents did last weekend. The only teams that won last week that either USC or WSU beat previously were:
Am I missing something?

WSU lost to an FCS team? And USC could probably beat just about anybody right now??
If losing to an FCS team was such a big deal, then how come WSU was ranked last week and USC leapfrogged them this week?
Also, WSU beat a P5 team on the road by 62 points last week. I'm not sure how you could definitively say that USC could "beat just about anybody right now" if beating someone on the road by 62 points doesn't also qualify WSU for that descriptor.
