Iowa State is not going to go winless in the Big XII this season. We're not the most terrible team! And actually both the teams we've lost to are probably going to be ranked come noon. Which isn't much. But it is something. Also, out holder owns.

My new totally wrong playoff team predictions
Week 4: Ohio State, Baylor, Ole Miss, UCLA/Utah Winner
Week 5: Ohio State, Baylor, Alabama, Florida State

Baylor is the only one I actually feel reasonably confident about. I think Ohio State will continue to stumble through a weak Big Ten (ala FSU last season). 'Bama could easily drop another game, but LSU and A&M don't seem impressive enough to not drop at least two, so I didn't slot them in. Alabama is basically the placeholder SEC team for now. And Florida State will probably get in after Clemson Clemsons against them and then they end the regular season with a win over what will by then be a pretty overrated Florida team.

Despite half the top 10 losing, yesterday still felt like one of those days where you think there is going to be chaos based on halftime scores but by the time the final whistle blows order is restored and Katy Perry has gone to bed early.

Barry did it in less games, too. 11 game season, no championship game, and bowl stats didn't count.

Looking at Sander's record, Oklahoma State played Texas Tech in Tokyo that year. Apparently that was a thing for one game a year from 1977 to 1993. What the hell?

So here's the teams still alive or a playoff spot. I'm counting undefeated teams plus 1 loss teams that are currently ranked with the exception of Boise State. I left Boise off because they don't have enough good teams left on their schedule to climb up to the top four even if they win out. 27 teams left with dreams alive.

ACC: Florida State (4-0), Clemson (4-0)
Big XII: TCU (5-0), Oklahoma State (5-0), Baylor (4-0), Oklahoma (4-0)
Big Ten: Ohio State (5-0), Michigan State (5-0), Northwestern (5-0), Iowa (5-0), Michigan (4-1)
Pac-12: Cal (5-0), Utah (4-0), Stanford (4-1), USC (4-1), UCLA (4-1)
SEC: Florida (5-0), Texas A&M (5-0), LSU (4-0), Alabama (4-1), Ole Miss (4-1), Georgia (4-1)
Other: Toledo (4-0), Temple (4-0), Memphis (5-0), Navy (4-0), Houston, (4-0), Notre Dame (4-1)

K-State got its letter

Big XII posted:

Big 12 Conference supervisor of officials Walt Anderson acknowledges improper first-down distance enforcement occurred during Saturday's K-State at Oklahoma State game. During the second-quarter, with the ball at the K-State 45, OSU was flagged for offensive holding during a 41-yard pass completion. After the 10-yard penalty was marked off, moving the ball back to the OSU 45, the chains were mistakingly set for the yard-to-gain.

"Accurracy and adherence to Conference policies and officiating mechanics are vital to the proper administration of the rules in all games," said Anderson. "Disciplinary actions will be addressed with both the field officials and chain crew."

yelling like a maniac is a cool and good thing as long as you don't do it constantly like Muschamp?

As long as you win. Once you lose it becomes not cool and not good. But while you are winning it is just instilling discipline.

Next time I'm just waiting until Monday morning when I have two monitors rather than trying to do this on a laptop. So hopefully I didn't miss any teams this time.

There are 20 undefeated teams left. Additionally, there are 8 teams that have one loss but are ranked by the AP and have enough left on their schedule that they could end up in the top 4 if they win out:
ACC: Florida State (4-0), Clemson (4-0)
Big XII: TCU (5-0), Oklahoma State (5-0), Baylor (4-0), Oklahoma (4-0)
Big Ten: Ohio State (5-0), Michigan State (5-0), Northwestern (5-0), Iowa (5-0), Michigan (4-1)
Pac-12: Cal (5-0), Utah (5-0), Stanford (4-1), USC (5-1), UCLA (4-1)
SEC: Florida (5-0), Texas A&M (5-0), LSU (4-0) , Alabama (4-1), Ole Miss (4-1), Georgia (4-1)
Other: Temple (4-0), Memphis (5-0), Navy (4-0), Houston (4-0), Toledo (4-0), Notre Dame (4-1)

28 teams left alive for the playoffs. There are some other 1 loss teams that could conceivably make a run due to having a bunch of ranked teams on their schedule. But for the sake of simplicity I'm going to assume those teams have at least one more loss coming before December and not count them.

Only three games this weekend between that group of teams:
Northwestern @ Michigan
Notre Dame @ Navy
Cal @ Utah

5 or 6 games the week after (depending on the outcome of the Notre Dame game plus losing for sure one of Michigan/Northwestern). Obviously some of these teams could lose in Week 6 and take themselves out of consideration without getting this far:
Memphis @ Ole Miss
USC @ Notre Dame
Michigan State @ Michigan
Iowa @ Northwestern
UCLA @ Stanford
Florida @ LSU
Alabama @ Texas A&M

Memphis beating Ole Miss would be the greatest thing and needs to happen.

They lost a spot, so

And seriously, K-State was "gifted" ALL of its touchdowns in that game by bullshit flags thrown after Kstate failed to convert 3rd and longs.

The call that Oklahoma State got wasn't just a bad call. Even the worst call generally at least has some level of judgement involved and at the end of the day no ref is going to overturn a judgement call after the fact. The only call in Big XII history I can think of that was equally just straight up wrong is when Kansas shot a three pointer between free throws in a game against Iowa State and the refs allowed it to stand. That call was "Snyder should have just refused to take the field until it was fixed" levels of wrong.

It wasn't even a "call." It was misplaced field markers. And it didn't even decide the outcome of the game. It was a 3rd down play and K State gave up a 25 yard completion the very next snap. Why is this such an injustice?

e: Whats sad is that Mason Rudolph went 10/14 on passes on 3rd and 4th downs, all resulting in 1st down conversions. But no one will remember that, just refs!

It was 3rd & 23. K-State gave up 19 yards and Oklahoma State was given a 1st down rather than it being 4th and 4. Oklahoma State scored on that drive and ended up winning by 2. That's... kind of a big deal.

Like the other sets of maps, these were created using estimates of team support based on each team�s share of Facebook �likes� in a ZIP code.

Their data set is inherently bad and ill defined. For example, I don't have my zip code set on facebook, would I count? Similarly, I "like" ISU Athletics but not ISU football, so does that leave me out?
