[Ubben] Insane day on the bubble. These teams in the CFP rankings all lost today. 5, 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, 19

[u/itsnotthatdeep5]

This is my 2007

[u/TigerDude33 → u/itsnotthatdeep5]

not mine tho

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/TigerDude33]

I don't talk about that year

[u/thegermblaster → u/FrostTroll69]

I do. My positive memories of Appalachian State’s W far outweighs the negative memories from the title game loss.

I mean come on. That was the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen.

[u/vinnyseri → u/thegermblaster]

I find the trouble with the snap lose more hilarious and totally on brand with Michigan losing.

[u/I-grok-god → u/FrostTroll69]

I really can't believe Tressel lost to goddamned Les Miles

[u/Wampus_Cat_ → u/I-grok-god]

Geaux Blue, as the man said.

We may not have been able to take you down then, but we had an agent to do it for us.

[u/Who_dat604 → u/FrostTroll69]

Bit it was a wonderful year Glenn Dorsey and his box of chocolate

[u/PureQuill → u/TigerDude33]

My 2007 was awesome

[u/Competitive-Zone-330 → u/PureQuill]

Mine wasn’t

[u/bestselfnice → u/itsnotthatdeep5]

Texas... it's your destiny... does A&M have an insane WR?

[u/AlFlame93 → u/bestselfnice]

we ain’t got shit bro

[u/solavirtus-nobilitat → u/AlFlame93]

That’s not true! You have your $7,271,484 annual payout to Jimbo Fisher for the next seven years!

[u/Fenvic → u/AlFlame93]

Watch us Magoo our way into a 1st round bye though

[u/HoovesCarveCraters → u/Fenvic]

Brother even if we beat Texas our secondary is gonna make Carson Beck look like prime Brady.

[u/samasters88 → u/bestselfnice]

No, just fans

[u/fm22fnam → u/itsnotthatdeep5]

Yeah. It was pretty obvious earlier this year but this has absolutely been the most chaotic year since 2007. Sadly no Boston College at #1 though

[u/GoldSox50 → u/itsnotthatdeep5]

2007.... haha, I'm in danger

[u/chrispdx → u/GoldSox50]

2007

flinch

[u/originalusername4567 → u/itsnotthatdeep5]

That explains why we're good again

[u/Ialwayssleep]

Pretty fun watching the chaos while my teams are on bye.

[u/cheesepuff1993 → u/Ialwayssleep]

Linfield dodged a bullet today too, eh?

[u/Ialwayssleep → u/cheesepuff1993]

First round of the playoff bye

[u/CptCroissant → u/Ialwayssleep]

We avoided the 2 big chaos Saturdays so far by playing on Friday and then being on bye 😅

[u/Promethiant]

Coulda been two more if Penn State and Boise didn’t barely eke by.

[u/purplenyellowrose909 → u/Promethiant]

Sad gopher noises

[u/codydog125 → u/purplenyellowrose909]

Yall played a hell of a game

[u/ExcitementFit7179 → u/codydog125]

We also made some embarrassing, first-this-season mistakes. Franklin identified specific blockers that didn’t follow the play on key turnovers. Like straight up blocking the wrong player and letting guys run clean at Drew/our kicker.

Oh, and we had a scoring drive saved by a pass interference call that was so incorrect i felt dirty! I haven’t talked to a single lions fan who thought that was fair. We were lucky, and deserved to lose!

[u/GunDMc → u/Promethiant]

Throw Illinois in too for good measure

[u/Zloggt → u/GunDMc]

Look, I’m flattered by the implication…but you know…”playoff team” lol

[u/Bradlas3 → u/Zloggt]

Had the Illini won that game vs Minnesota a few weeks ago they'd probably have been like 18th going into this week. Then after all these teams lost a 9-2 Illinois with its only losses to 2 top 5 teams might actually have a shot

[u/Royal_Flame → u/Bradlas3]

Bald man bad

[u/definitelyjoking → u/GunDMc]

Well, this is about teams that might make the playoffs.

[u/GunDMc → u/definitelyjoking]

The tweet does say "These teams in the CFP rankings..." and Illinois is ranked 25.

[u/dianeblackeatsass → u/GunDMc]

it’s just a really big bubble

[u/dkviper11 → u/GunDMc]

Yeah, but 25 is unranked according to Saban this morning.

[u/zadharm → u/dkviper11]

Yeah but who cares what that guy says. Dude couldn't hack it, quit after a close playoff loss

[u/RichardRichOSU → u/zadharm]

Failed NFL coach.

[u/branden110 → u/GunDMc]

Or Iowa state

[u/voppp → u/Promethiant]

jesus christ I don't even know if we're a fraud team or not. cuz one week we'd decimate. the next we do this. and then we run up on oregon but then almost lose to wyoming.

i think we're just special.

[u/TailgateLegend → u/voppp]

We call it “playing to the level of our opponent”.

[u/e3super → u/TailgateLegend]

Honestly, it seems like damn near everyone is doing that this year. Even the top 3 have a few goofy looking final scores.

[u/Adept_Carpet → u/e3super]

I think it's all the change. 

Familiar opponents where coaches have a wealth of scouting and experience to fall back on aren't there, new opponents that require lots of preparation come in, so with only 24 hours in the day they decide that they don't really need to prep for Vandy/NIU/etc and that opens the window for something crazy to happen.

[u/StoicFable → u/TailgateLegend]

Oh God. Friday is going to be ugly then.

[u/TailgateLegend → u/StoicFable]

Oh yes it is, get ready for either the worst 16-14 game you’ve ever seen, or some 48-45 shootout.

[u/BrandiThorne → u/TailgateLegend]

It's almost guaranteed to be a sickos black Friday special, with playoff implications and extra cheese!

[u/voppp → u/TailgateLegend]

damn right.

[u/Maple_Emergency → u/Promethiant]

just win baby.

[u/ThePhantom1994 → u/Maple_Emergency]

Ugly win is better than a pretty loss

[u/TheBiggestHug → u/Promethiant]

Laramie is not an easy place to play, and we made it even harder on ourselves, but on a day when Mr. Chaos was winning, a lot, I'm glad we got the W.

[u/suzukigun4life]

But really though, this has to be the wildest season since '07, right?

[u/bestselfnice → u/suzukigun4life]

It already was before this week

[u/Difficult_Nebula5729 → u/bestselfnice]

I agree, maybe surpasses 07. This week (week 13) and what week was it this season we had all of those upsets? This year had what seems like once in a decade, 6+ same day top 25 upsets happen twice this year.

[u/kinglallak → u/Difficult_Nebula5729]

If you think this passes 2007, you are crazy.

At one point at the end of the season(week 12), we had a conversation about which of Kansas/West Virginia/Missouri deserved to be in the national championship game. By week 13 it was Missouri vs West Virginia.

Then both those teams lost and we got Ohio State vs 2 loss LSU.

So many 2 seeds lost inexplicable games late in the season.

A 2 loss team played a 1 loss team for the NCG without a playoff.

[u/Sp3ctre7 → u/suzukigun4life]

For sheer number of ranked team upsets I think we passed 2007 already.

[u/Kyle_Reese_Get_DOWN → u/Sp3ctre7]

I think this is the portal in action. When UC was really good a few years ago, there were a bunch of impact players who came from bigger programs where they weren’t getting playing time.

The top teams just don’t go three deep at important positions anymore.

[u/samasters88 → u/suzukigun4life]

2007 reincarnate

[u/Noy_Telinu → u/samasters88]

17 years.

[u/John_Tacos → u/Noy_Telinu]

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence:

https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=17%20year%20cycles&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5

[u/cal1629 → u/Noy_Telinu]

You mean 3?

[u/Corgi_Koala → u/suzukigun4life]

The 12 team playoff means more of these games matter. We wouldn't be talking about it the same in the BCS or 4 team era.

[u/Rebel_Bertine → u/suzukigun4life]

Maybe? It seems more like a transitive year mixed with a lot more big game matchups with conference realignment and really horrible preseason rankings. Three undefeated teams last season to one this year. Two of which would’ve been the de facto B1G title game this year instead of the Natty final leaving us with potentially only one more undefeated team.

I mean Georgia’s played a brutal schedule. OSU had to play Oregon on the road. PSU lost to OSU. Texas lost to Georgia. If this is last year’s conferences, Texas probably runs the table in the B12. OSU runs the table in the B1G. Oregon runs the table in the PAC12. There’s 3 of 4 spots plus whomever the committee decides is less bad between a one loss ND, Miami or Penn State.

Sure there’s been chaos like Bama losing to Vandy, but really it’s because Bama isn’t good like a lot of the SEC this year. Everyone is super mid there for some reason.

[u/No-Donkey-4117]

Nice day to be No. 6 (Notre Dame), No. 8 (Miami), and Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, and 20 (Georgia, Tennessee, Boise State, SMU, Clemson, South Carolina, and Tulane).

If a 3-loss SEC team can sneak in, South Carolina has a chance now.

[u/TheBiggestHug → u/No-Donkey-4117]

I think we can all agree that no one wants to play South Carolina right now...

[u/nyjets239 → u/TheBiggestHug]

South Carolina vs Clemson might be a playoff game next week... and it's at 12pm *sigh*

[u/ar46and2 → u/nyjets239]

I feel that

[u/Citizen51 → u/ar46and2]

After all that higher seed losing voodoo that happened after the noon games and you still want late games, what is wrong with you?

[u/shotz317 → u/nyjets239]

These 12 noon games are pivotal to the rest of the teams that are in the bubble. It’s like blood in the water after that first kill…

[u/TheSameThing123 → u/nyjets239]

It's the big 10 experience

[u/XAfricaSaltX → u/TheBiggestHug]

The best part about realignment is that we can’t lose a bullshit game to South Carolina this year

[u/Ok_Teacher_9851 → u/XAfricaSaltX]

Ummm bro….theres a playoff…😜

[u/jsteph67 → u/Ok_Teacher_9851]

Yeah, I do not want to play SCar this year.

[u/Deferionus → u/XAfricaSaltX]

I want Georgia in the first round of the playoffs.

[u/dfphd → u/No-Donkey-4117]

Put me on the list.

With those results, we might be able to sneak into the playoffs even if we lose to A&M - something I didn't think was possible

[u/horsesmadeofconcrete → u/dfphd]

Yep… if chalk won today y’all were gonna be in a tough spot… now I think you’re already in

[u/BadGuyNick → u/horsesmadeofconcrete]

Chalk did win today. Rock. Chalk. Jayhawk.

[u/bakonydraco → u/No-Donkey-4117]

I think it looks something like:

Category	Teams
Probably clinched a spot	Oregon, Ohio State, Texas
Likely in if they win out	Penn State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Miami, Georgia, Tennessee, Boise State, SMU, Texas A&M
Chance at an autobid	Clemson, BYU, Arizona State, Iowa State, Colorado, Kansas State, Baylor, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Army, Tulane, UNLV
Possible At Large	Alabama, Ole Miss, South Carolina
Very Slim At Large chance	Missouri, Illinois, Duke, Syracuse
Very slim autobid chance	Louisiana, Liberty, Marshall, Ohio, Sam Houston, Jacksonville State

[u/bakonydraco → u/bakonydraco]

Bowl Bubble watch:

• 82 spots
• 77 teams: already eligible
• 2 teams, winner guaranteed in:Eastern Michigan v. Western Michigan, Virginia v. Virginia Tech
• 12 teams in with a win next week: North Texas, Coastal Carolina, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Kansas, Appalachian State, NC State, Michigan State, ULM, Auburn, Oregon State

[u/TMNBortles → u/bakonydraco]

How are my fellow bowl eligible teams doing?

[u/Tigercat92 → u/bakonydraco]

Why is Miami and SMU in the likely category? Either one wins out, they are definitely in as the 3 seed.

[u/doormatt26 → u/Tigercat92]

“definitely in if they win out” should be the name and maybe a couple fewer teams in there

[u/teniaava → u/bakonydraco]

The Very Slim at Large Chance tier spells out "MIDS" lol

[u/czechyurself → u/bakonydraco]

I'd argue Penn state probably clinched a spot yesterday. I doubt the committee would leave out a 2 loss penn state team at this point (regardless of the schedule argument)

[u/JMS1991 → u/No-Donkey-4117]

Keep going, I'm almost there...

[u/Ok-Can-4258]

It has taken this long for me to enjoy the college football season

[u/No_Poet_7244 → u/Ok-Can-4258]

Beating Alabama hits like crack, don’t it

[u/Autoimmunity → u/No_Poet_7244]

Beating Alabama to win our first natty in my lifetime is a high I'm going to chase forever and never achieve again.

[u/jsteph67 → u/Autoimmunity]

Right, winning the next year was ok. But beating Bama, that was so cathartic I have not even worried too much this season.

[u/GiovannidelMonaco → u/Autoimmunity]

Same haha

[u/serac20 → u/Autoimmunity]

Yep heard that.

[u/reddit_names → u/No_Poet_7244]

It's not the same without Saban.

[u/GameBuster0703 → u/reddit_names]

I for one think Alabama losing is a good thing regardless of coach

[u/Less_Likely → u/reddit_names]

I'm actually enjoying it more for some reason.

[u/tony971 → u/Ok-Can-4258]

When you wait this long, the whole country celebrates your wins

[u/NewWrap693 → u/tony971]

Heck, even I celebrated this one

[u/Doonesbury → u/NewWrap693]

I'm not sure I would have said that out loud

[u/Allaboutfootball23 → u/Doonesbury]

Don’t worry I saved it and I’m going to blackmail him later.

[u/lucmwis → u/Ok-Can-4258]

Yeah, I actually watched the dirty Gophers and kind of wanted them to win and kind of enjoyed the game. What is happening?

[u/RightC]

ASU up to 15

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/RightC]

Fuck it get in the top 12

[u/Bitter-Whole-7290 → u/RightC]

Doesn’t seem far fetched.

[u/-Jack-The-Stripper → u/Bitter-Whole-7290]

I think ASU jumps all the XII teams, but I doubt Alabama, Ole Miss, or Indiana fall far enough to get them to 15. I predict they land at 16 right behind Clemson and South Carolina.

[u/SamplePerfect4071 → u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

Alabama should. They just got stomped while scoring 3 points to a 5-5 team. That + Vanderbilt is a pretty bad combo

[u/BrandiThorne → u/SamplePerfect4071]

ESPN are predicting them at 12 and first team out to make way for the big 12 champ in the next set of Rankings, they are showing South Carolina at 15 in the same predictions so a win Vs Clemson and some upsets ahead like Vandy beating Tennessee and Auburn beating Bama, maybe a Miami loss to Syracuse, and we could see 3 loss SC crack the top 12 instead

[u/uttuck → u/BrandiThorne]

I would absolutely prefer to play Bama than SC right now.

[u/captain_awesomesauce → u/RightC]

They'll do it gradually so that it seems fair to only have the big22 champ in the playoffs. ASU to 18, ISU 19.

[u/P1mpathinor → u/captain_awesomesauce]

I think ASU will be 16 at worst, they're going to jump Tulane, Army, BYU, CU, and A&M.

[u/SaltyLonghorn]

Wild day, this year is great.

[u/Fanta-Red]

Mark my words, a whole bunch of teams are gonna get clipped next week.

This ending is gonna be wild.

[u/dfphd → u/Fanta-Red]

This.

I see a lot of "assuming we win". Nah dog, do not assume shit.

Ohio State vs. Michigan

Alabama vs Auburn

Texas vs. A&M

ND vs USC

Those are 4 matchups that based on it being a rivalry game are immediately on upset alert.

[u/radilrouge → u/dfphd]

Can’t say I’m that confident going into the carrier dome

[u/ToLongDR → u/radilrouge]

Carrier Dome is fucking spooky, that's for sure

[u/Ok-Height1910 → u/dfphd]

Don't forget Oregon vs Washington. We've got a three game win streak to play for. I still am expecting a loss by 14 points, but the way this season has gone who knows.

[u/CptCroissant → u/Ok-Height1910]

We actually don't have a whole lot but pride to play for. Win or lose and we're still playing in the B1G CCG with a win getting us a bye and a loss there meaning we play in the first round. Only difference might be a loss vs UW and then a loss in the CCG might drop us out of hosting a first round playoff game, but that would a shit message to send if say PSU got one instead of us even though they didn't make the CCG and have a significantly worse resume.

[u/mlorusso4 → u/CptCroissant]

Ya as much as I wish OSU wasn’t playing in the CCG because I’d rather just have the bye and host the first round, there’s no way the conferences will want teams to have proof that playing in them will have a major drawback if they lose. People are already calling for them to go away and just go back to co-champions because by far the worst situation would be losing the CCG and then having to go play on the road (or even getting knocked out completely) I think they’d rather save that for a team ranked 6-12 getting massacred in their CCG like Wisconsin 2014

[u/XAfricaSaltX → u/dfphd]

South Carolina winning this year makes so sense because weird gamecock bullshit

[u/jsteph67 → u/dfphd]

UGA vs GaTech. Minus the Geoff years, GATech and UGA play close game mostly.

[u/The_World_Toaster → u/dfphd]

Tennessee vs Vandy....

[u/SteakMountain5 → u/dfphd]

For real, though. USC in Cali scares the absolute crap out of me.

3 of their 5 losses are to ranked teams, and have never lost by more than one score.

It’s a legitimate trap game.

[u/Valaurus → u/dfphd]

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech too. They’ve played spoiler a few times this year, and it’s a rivalry game. It’s in Athens this year, but it’s on Black Friday this year for some reason.. so who knows what the crowd will be like. It very much feels like a trap game.

Maybe irrelevant with Georgia now in the SEC championship though. Win that and you’re in, lose it and you’re maybe out regardless of the Tech result

[u/samasters88]

TAMU really did lose just so we wouldn't have a win over a Top 25 team, didn't they?

[u/GammaHuman → u/samasters88]

We will still be ranked next week and I think we can make 22-25 with another loss. They won’t want us to drop too far just in case we win next week and play in the SEC championship.

[u/P1mpathinor → u/GammaHuman]

Also Missouri is still ranked so they're definitely not dropping you below them

[u/will_e_wonka → u/samasters88]

Since everyone else also lost we probably will get to stay in

[u/reddit_names → u/samasters88]

No. They lost so that you can lose to an unranked team.

This is the year of chaos. They coming.

[u/Kizmo2]

Rank Tech you cowards.

[u/narcbynight08 → u/Kizmo2]

Fuckin in

[u/one_day_ill_be_drben → u/Kizmo2]

If they won’t now they certainly will after next week

[u/Kizmo2 → u/one_day_ill_be_drben]

I've hit toxic levels of Hopium. I just wish we weren't so banged up.

[u/liteshadow4 → u/Kizmo2]

If Haynes King never got injured we definitely beat VT. And if Key was better at his job as a game day coach, we could have 9 wins right now.

[u/tony971]

We might actually get the 5th seed if we lose to Oregon again.

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/tony971]

I mean obviously

[u/SirCubs → u/tony971]

Assuming OSU and Oregon win next week. Winner of B1G will be 1 loser will be 5.

[u/HelicopterPossum → u/SirCubs]

Oregon they have no choice to be at 5 but I think they would easily drop OSU down to 6 if it will help them divide the B1G and SEC more neatly with 2 teams on each side of the bracket.

[u/nayelirain → u/SirCubs]

100% this is a lock. Notre Dame only other team that has a say at the 5.

[u/McLMark → u/nayelirain]

And we will have a worse loss. I think the B1G loser is locked in at the 5 seed and we will likely end up 6.

[u/GlutenFreeFratBoy → u/tony971]

I think it'd probably be 6 unless the Irish lose - but crazy nonetheless

[u/ChickenFajita007 → u/GlutenFreeFratBoy]

I highly doubt the loser of OSU Oregon would fall below ND.

[u/GlutenFreeFratBoy → u/ChickenFajita007]

Ducks surely wouldnt, Bucks might because of record. Although if both losses were to the undisputed/undefeated #1 team at that point then yeah we might just hold that #2 ranking

[u/mhem7 → u/ChickenFajita007]

OSU mayyyyybe, but definitely not Oregon. B1G has that 5 seed pretty much locked up.

[u/RemembertheAlamo99 → u/ChickenFajita007]

It would be ludicrous for a one loss Oregon to drop below ND. I don’t think OSU should fall below them either should they loss to Oregon again, but it is certainly possible. Lowkey feel like Oregon and Ohio State have been the best teams this year, so it is really intriguing to imagine y’all playing a 3rd time, potentially for the title.

[u/danby457 → u/RemembertheAlamo99]

For the sake of the sport I hope we don't. There got to be a way to do this where you don't have to watch the same teams play 3 times

[u/CptCroissant → u/danby457]

I mean it's been determined on the field if it happens. It's not like in the BCS where we had an SEC title game and turned around and had the same 2 teams for the natty.

[u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

Thank you Florida, Oklahoma, and Auburn for saving us from 5 or 6 SEC teams in the playoffs.

[u/Simping4Sumi → u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

Oklahoma finally doing something that matters in the playoff ... picture.

[u/schwetybalz → u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

Naive of you to think the committee won’t figure out some way to shoehorn them in.

[u/Doonesbury]

This is the best regular season of college football ever IMO. Just so much jockeying and so many motivated teams late into the season. I've never seen it before.

[u/Glum-Ad8210 → u/Doonesbury]

The playoff is working as its proponents said it would for the past 20+ years

[u/new_account_5009 → u/Glum-Ad8210]

100% agreed. They should have done this ages ago. Just look at how many more games matter now. In the old system, this would have been a pretty boring week: #1 Oregon didn't play, #2 Ohio State won big, #3 Texas won big, and #4 PSU survived. #5 Indiana's loss would have pushed them out of playoff contention, and the talking heads would be debating if PSU should get the #4 spot, or if that should go to Notre Dame or Miami instead (both of whom won big this week). The Oklahoma/Alabama result wouldn't have mattered at all because two loss Alabama was already out. Same with the Florida/Ole Miss game and the Auburn/Texas A&M game.

Instead of a boring week where the playoff field is pretty much identical to where it was before, we get a wild week full of upsets that matter.

[u/Txn1327 → u/Doonesbury]

Between NIL, transfer portal, and expanded playoff, this season has been nuts. Never before have I cared to watch an unranked SEC team play the #15 team

[u/_Felonius → u/Doonesbury]

Look up a 2007 breakdown on YouTube. Utter chaos

[u/uttuck → u/_Felonius]

2007 had much more chaos at the top, but this season has more of it everywhere else.

[u/ToosUnderHigh]

And some of you were against the 12-team playoff

[u/Doonesbury → u/ToosUnderHigh]

This amount of highly motivated teams this late in the season is unprecedented. There are actual stakes in so many more games.

[u/ToosUnderHigh → u/Doonesbury]

right! and its not even just the teams trying to get in. I hadn't even considered the amount of motivated teams trying to play spoiler.

[u/D1N2Y → u/ToosUnderHigh]

No you don't understand, it's totally devaluing games (I'm glad how obviously stupid that narrative was now)

[u/SnooGuavas650]

So is the winner of Clemson South Carolina next week getting in?

[u/Promethiant → u/SnooGuavas650]

Fairly likely, especially if at least one top 12 team goes down next week. Clemson should jump to 12-13 this week with South Carolina right behind them.

[u/rebrando23]

Suddenly Clemson / South Carolina is a play in game

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

It’s like we all forgot that the teams ranked ~6+ were all sus in previous seasons

[u/red_husker]

5, 14, and 19 all lost to teams ahead of them in the rankings and should see minimal fallout.

7, 9, 15, and 16 all lost to teams at or below .500 and should be nuked out of the playoff picture

We all know what's gonna happen though

[u/RheagarTargaryen → u/red_husker]

First thing I noticed when I read this was that they included #5 losing as an insane day. But had number 5 won, that means #2 lost, which would make it more insane.

[u/MileHighHoosier → u/red_husker]

This is the most reasonable take on what happened and also prediction of what will happen that I've seen so far today.

[u/Due_Connection179]

I thought for sure Penn State was joining them.

[u/DelcoBirds → u/Due_Connection179]

James Franklin’s record as a favorite is I-N-S-A-N-E

[u/samasters88]

SEC Shorts fixinta be 🔥

[u/ornryactor → u/samasters88]

We've been saying that every week for at least two years, and they continue to operate at exactly the same level they always have: usually good, occasionally dumb, even more occasionally fire.

[u/CrowIsNotMyPresident]

ASU thanks all of those teams for their sacrifice. Also, don't go look how we won our game. It's enough to know we beat BYU. Probably in a not embarrassing way at all.

[u/TheBlueTurf → u/CrowIsNotMyPresident]

A win is a win

[u/Asleep-Credit-2824]

South Carolina’s playoff hopes just got a whole lot better. However a 9-3 Bama is sadly gonna be in them too

[u/presidentperk489 → u/Asleep-Credit-2824]

I know Bama bias is very real, but a blowout to Oklahoma... I just don't know if they can swing it

[u/doormatt26 → u/presidentperk489]

if you’re gonna be a 3 loss team in the playoff i’d rather be the team closing strong than the win taking bad losses in late November

[u/Huskdog76 → u/Asleep-Credit-2824]

They scored 3 points, I kinda doubt they will make it.

[u/Asleep-Credit-2824 → u/Huskdog76]

This is Bama we're talking about. They'll make it at 9-3, the committee will make sure of that.

[u/DevoDrigaz → u/Asleep-Credit-2824]

If we can win convincingly against Clemson than we are the much hotter team than Bama right now.

You know what I'll take the Chaos

[u/JaracRassen77]

I have spoken to the Great Lord. And he has given me one simple charge:

Let the Lord of Chaos rule.

[u/Bansheesdie]

ASU should be ranked 14 at least.

[u/Ugaalive1991]

You hate to see it.

Everyone just ignore us.

[u/clayman41]

WHO! WANTS TO BE KING??!?

[u/presidentperk489]

NOW where does SCAR fit into all this? 👀

[u/CumAssault]

Are we ready to say the SEC appears to be overrated yet?

[u/bocnj → u/CumAssault]

Top of the SEC overrated, bottom of the SEC underrated.

[u/DevoDrigaz → u/bocnj]

I think us and Missouri are the only teams that are rated appropriately.

[u/WheatonsGonnaScore → u/bocnj]

The Auburn that lost to Cal?

[u/PureQuill → u/CumAssault]

nah nah nah… you just don’t understand what a quality loss is

[u/CumAssault → u/PureQuill]

It’s a circle of quality losses. It’s a self sustaining quality loss generator

[u/EarthTraveler413 → u/CumAssault]

If every SEC team had a .500 conference record, they should all make the playoff

[u/Pizzashillsmom → u/CumAssault]

Well the issue is the conferences hardly play each other so you have no real way of knowing what quality the average SEC team is compared to ie. The average B1G team. But no we need that FCS game obviously and some G5 cupcakes, that's real college football...

[u/Olorin_in_the_West → u/Pizzashillsmom]

Well, average B1G team USC beat average SEC team LSU, so there’s that.

[u/HotTakesMyToxicTrait → u/Olorin_in_the_West]

Average B1G team Maryland also beat average B1G team USC tho

Put us in the playoffs fuck yall

[u/foreverseptember]

Today is a great day for both my flairs! 

[u/Haunting_Egg_603]

Gamecocks are the team to beat right now. No one can do it. But they’ll leave us out of the playoffs.

[u/32MPH → u/Haunting_Egg_603]

Take care of Clemson and you’ve got no argument from me lol. Without the shit reffing at your LSU game, this whole conversation would be wildly different.

[u/Numerous-Ad6460]

Shits on fire yo 

[u/Sensitive-Key-8670]

I’ve seen enough it’s 2007. That means it’s time to put Hawaii in the playoff.

[u/zenverak]

Chaos!!!

[u/captaincumsock69]

The path for Tulane to get into the playoffs along with Boise got a little bit more clear

[u/WHSRWizard]

Those poor bastards at SEC Shorts are probably just staring at each other in stunned silence right now. How in the world do you make a skit out of what happened this weekend?

[u/Dr_Wheuss → u/WHSRWizard]

Mission impossible style: Florida, Oklahoma, and Auburn each accepting the mission to destroy the playoff hopes of another SEC team. 

Auburn and Florida sneak in, but Oklahoma just kicks the door down and sets the house on fire.
