Could be the first year for a 2-loss team the way things are going.

I don't think we're there yet. Sure you can come up with a few scenario's where a 2-loss team is one of the top 4 teams at the end but it's still not likely at this point.
What a disgusting display of enthusiasm by those Northwestern students! Rushing the field?!?!?!?!?!?
The top team is clearly in the SEC. The rest is muddled. Georgia has played exactly one good team.
We've got a month of football left to play and it seems like one of those years when every team is flawed. And you've got teams like Wisconsin that played such a horrible schedule that there are plenty of 2-loss teams that would make it in over them if they have 1 loss at the end.
Right now, for sure. If the final third of the season plays out like the opening 2/3 did, most of us will think that the UGA/Bama SEC Championship is pretty much telling us who wins the national title. I'd keep my eye on the programs like Ohio State and Clemson that have a sick amount of talent and the coaches to go with it. They could be absolute juggernauts by the end of November.
Right. Georgia still has to go to Auburn and Georgia Tech. Neither is a gimme. Realisitically, Georgia is entering the heart of their schedule now.

Clemson for sure. They'll get a ranked NC State team next week (I don't think you can hammer them that hard for that loss today).....and doesn't Miami effectively win their division if they beat Virginia Tech next week? Ohio State needs another Oklahoma loss. The loss OU has doesn't look anywhere near as bad now as it does when it happened-Iowa State is clearly a Top 20 team. Don't think you can take OSU ahead of Oklahoma if they both finish at 12-1. Don't forget about UW, either-They get a couple opportunities to build their resume over the next few weeks, and they could get a shot to avenge their loss in the P12 title game......I think if that plays out, they might sneak in at #4.

Put Oklahoma on that list of teams with a ton of talent that could gel and be our national champion. Especially since they've got a QB with so much "it" factor.
I keep hearing alot of analysts say that if ND wins out to go 11-1 they are in the playoff no question. While that would likely be true, I don't think they would be in under this very plausible scenario:
- an undefeated SEC champ
- a 1-loss ACC champ Clemson
- a 1-loss Big 10 champ OSU
- a 1-loss Big 12 champ OU
who does ND beat out in this case, OU? Maybe but not likely given how OU thumped OSU in Columbus. And this isn't to mention if UGA (who beat ND) ends up with only 1 loss to Bama, and also a 1-loss Washington is sitting out there.
Granted there will be more upsets over the last month but I'm just no buying the ironclad statement that ND is guaranteed to be in if they win out.

Illinois St put a beatdown on Bo Pelini's Youngstown St Penguins today.

Me, too. I want out of the South basement more than I hate UO.
I think the committee is really going to dock OU for an average defense (at best).
If the playoff was tomorrow I'd put:
Alabama
Ohio St
Georgia
Notre Dame
In the playoff. As much as I dislike ND they've been really dominant since the Georgia game.

Nearing halftime-
Purdue leads Nebraska 7-6. Purdue has - 1st & goal.
TD Purdue. 14-6
Kentucky leads Tennesse 21-13.

They sure can, utah's defense looks weak, especially against the run. Well, at least this game, haven't seen them much.
I was very skeptical about whether Utah could have that many guys drafted and simply re-load for this season. I still like their defensive front, but they've got holes all over their roster.
I flipped back and forth between ISU-TCU and CSU-Air Force after the Buffs game.
The Clone game was one ugly game, but I was pretty happy with the result. If there's one old conference foe I can get behind, it's Iowa State. They were 1-56-2 lifetime against top 5 teams coming into this year. They're 2-0 in 2017.
The Air Force game was a thing of beauty for the Falcons. Their running game was unstoppable, especially Worthmann. On the other side, Nick Stevens is **** under pressure. Plus I'm not sure Bobo has ever beat AFA, which has to grind the gears of Rams fans. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to Wyoming next week, too.

His stock is going to be sky high this off season. Which moneybag programs offer his agent a deal he can’t refuse?
I'll be shocked if he's coaching at ISU in 2018.
Whichever big offer Scott Frost doesn't take.
Florida, Tennessee, A$M, Mississippi, nebraska, etc.
Maybe USC. Man, what he could do with their talent.

Those all red Arizona dick chärd uniforms hurt my eyes. Go Wazzou and punk these P12S clowns.
If Bobo loses next week at Wyoming, he will drop to 2-7 against the three biggest rivals.
