I think our ranking was pretty reasonable going into the Georgia game. We hadn't played anyone good in non-conference yet, and we'd missed the strongest team out of the ACC (Florida State) as well as maybe the 3rd strongest in Louisville. We just hadn't been tested yet. However, the Georgia game...

Two teams out of the SEC is pretty unlikely at this point, but there could still easily be 2 teams out of the Big XII with Baylor and TCU both sitting with one loss and serving as co-champs if both win next week. For Georgia Tech to get into the playoff, they probably need 3/4 of these things to...

Literally the greatest football game I've ever seen in my life. SO SO SO SO HAPPY!

It was actually the second start for Barrett, not the first. He was 12/15 for 226 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in his first start against Navy. And Virginia Tech was not "Top 15 at the time", they were actually unranked. They were the 12th team receiving votes so technically 37th overall. The road...

Honestly, I was kind of against the committee going into the season, but I feel like they've done a much better job than expected to the point that it's: committee >>>>> AP poll >> coaches poll. There's still some hiccups (mainly the ridiculously overrated Big Ten), but on the whole, they've...

It's not a poll. It's the opinions of the bookmakers that take down millions of dollars in wagers derived from the betting lines only.

SEC's definitely not getting favoritism. Ole Miss was below Minnesota this week which is beyond insane. If anything, just getting credit for all the teams that were ranked when they beat them probably still gives the SEC teams less credit than they'd get for all the teams that should be ranked...

Personally, I think the committee got it exactly right ranking us at 16 although I'd put Michigan State below us and Mississippi above us. Auburn's undervalued if anything. They've played the toughest schedule in the country by far, and have done very well considering. I'd have them #11...

Let's not get too homeriffic. We've played 2 good teams this year (Miami and Clemson). Arizona State's played 5 (UCLA, USC, Stanford, Utah, and Notre Dame). We have no argument to be ranked over them whatsoever right now. Beat Georgia and it's a different story.

These rankings are actually really good for us IMO. The fact that Mississippi fell so far (below Minnesota, LOL) bodes really well for Georgia Tech's chances of passing Mississippi State for the 4th playoff spot if the Bulldogs finish with 2 losses. Significantly improves our playoff equity if...

The ACC might have improved some but it's not a ton, and the SEC is at an all-time level of dominance this year. Here's a link to Vegas power rankings for all the SEC teams and ACC teams in the Top 50: http://stats.inpredictable.com/rankings/ncaaf.php (ACC teams in bold) 1. Alabama 4. Georgia...

No SEC West games lost OOC games this year. Went a perfect 28-0. The SEC East hasn't been quite as good, but still went 20-3 for a total SEC non-conference record of 48-3. For comparison's sake, the ACC went 38-14 in non-conference. Not exactly on the same level.

Let's not worry about our chances of beating Florida State or Georgia. Let's just look at our chances of other teams being ahead of us IF we win out. Pac-12 champion- 100%: This is a stone cold lock now that it's assured that the conference champion will have 2 losses or less. Pac-12 is the...

Georgia beat Auburn 34-7. That might be the best win by any team in the country this year when you account for margin of victory. Vegas still has Auburn #5 in the country and Sagarin has them #6. They're definitely a lot better than Clemson. Hell, Clemson's barely even better than South Carolina...

If we beat UGA and lose to FSU, we're 100% in. No questions asked. If we lose both and Louisville and Clemson both lose this weekend, we're still 100% in. Would we get in over a 9-3 Clemson or a 9-3 Louisville at 9-4? That's almost impossible to determine unless you're actually on the committee...

If we beat #9 Georgia on the road as part of an ACC sweep, it will be absolutely huge for the conference. Beating Florida and South Carolina is whatever, but Georgia won both of their games vs. SEC West opponents and win over them would carry a ton of cachet. Of course, the hard part will be...

Line's already down to 12.5 FWIW. Think that's a pretty legit line. Dawgs have been playing as well as anyone in the country.

Forgot to include West Carolina. Didn't think they'd be much competition for Alabama after they lost 51-0 to Chattanooga, but what do I know? Looks like they're giving them a game.

Nebraska game didn't matter, they couldnt possibly have gone over an 11-2 Georgia Tech anyway. Arkansas's big lead is very good for is though.

If Georgia Tech beats Florida State by 6 or less to give them their only loss, I'd say it's probably only about 15% that we'd pass them. If we beat them by 20 or more, it would probably be like 95%. It's inpossible to tell what the committee's inflection point would be, but I'm sure there's a...
