Borderline with Miller? They were going to be very, very good this year

To be a little more precise being borderline playoff material in college football means you are pretty good since only the top four go to the playoffs, it isn't like the NHL or NBA where almost half the teams go and were sub.500 teams are in contention.
Being borderline in the college game would assume that you are at least in the top 6-7 teams.
I'll take borderline for the Buffs in an instant.
I know, but I think they were a top 4 team this year if Miller was able to play. I don't think they'd win it but with the B1G being weaker they would have run the table and gotten a spot.

OSU's schedule also set up very well with their toughest games being at MSU and home against Michigan
Agreed. But with Miller there was still some discussion on whether OSU would make it to the 4-game playoff because of the relative ease of their schedule. What I've been hearing is the play off will be FSU, the SEC and PAC 12 champs, leaving the 4th position very competitive. An undefeated Big 12 champ or even a 2 loss SEC or PAC12 team may get the nod over a 1 loss B1G team for the 4th spot.
Now with Miller gone, I don't see anyway this team goes with fewer than 2 losses, my guess is 3. Of course, I've had my money on MSU in the B1G anyway.
Agree on the SOS, the B1G is just not a good conference outside of MSU and OSU. I see the four teams this year being a combination of these (in no real order) if Miller was healthy
1. Pac 12 - Stanford
2. ACC - FSU
3. SEC - Winner of the IB
4. B1G - Winner of MSU/OSU
Now I think it'll be...
1. Pac 12 - Stanford
2. ACC - FSU
3. SEC - Winner of the IB
4. B1G - MSU
OU could be subsituted for MSU. I don't think the SEC gets more than one this year since the two best teams are likely Auburn and Bama and those two play late in the season so the loser likely won't be able to recover from a loss and make it in.
A playoff prediction thread would probably be a good idea.
Here's mine. Not preseason favorites, but there are always upsets etc. No one predicted Auburn/Missouri in the SEC Championship game last year.
Stanford
FSU
Alabama
Baylor
Would sitting this season count towards the mandatory year out for transferring?
No, but he'll be a graduate transfer and eligible to play immediately anyway.
lawls, Oregon.
:lol: You're right! It makes complete sense since you just said that. haha
Mariota is ging to be gone. His backup hasn't taken the world by storm.
The offense is a perfect fit for Miller's skilll set. Does make a lot of sense for him to consider going someplace that would make him look good and surround him with talent.

beware the habu
Can he stay healthy?
