Remember what I said about style points? Yes, yes you do. With the division guarantees, we are as standing, missing the playoffs
We’ve played two games. Apparently playing the bye week wasn’t as impressive as squeaking one out against UK.

Kentucky goes toe to toe with what was the #1 team in the country, loses by 1 and doesn’t even get a single vote.

We have to root for Michigan to beat USC. That's a big ask.
I don’t see Michigan beating USC, Oregon, or OSU. They possibly win 1 of those games, but not more than that. They are not very impressive. I almost wish PSU did play them this year. PSU’s season will come down to the USC game. Win it, and they probably only lose one and make the playoff. Lose and they will probably need to beat OSU or hope that USC stumbles somewhere or the B1G gets four teams in.

Taking a second look at USC’s schedule, it is pretty soft. PSU may need Michigan or ND to beat them and I don’t see either one of those teams beating them. Plus, they have a ranked win over LSU, so that will hold some weight in any tiebreaker.

If the eye test was that important, Georgia would have dropped out of the top five.
True.....they don't look as strong as kadt year. They have a bye week coming up. Something tells me the Dawgs will be a different ream on the other side. Kirby Smart doesn't tolerate mediocrity

This worrying is premature. Just wait until we beat college football's version of the Chicago White Sox this week

Better if we give USC their first loss…
Worse if both PSU & USC finish with 2 losses and USC won head to head.

That's why you hold your nose and root for USC.

Just a heads up. We might have to root for ND to beat USC on their last game of the season.
