One or two (crazy) people had Michigan ranked #1 a week or two ago.

More will probably do so tomorrow but even as a Michigan fan I think they're wrong. The #1 spot is Bama's to lose.

If I'm reading it right Penn State would be eliminated because of their non-conference record and then OSU would win the division based on the head-to-head with Michigan. Like you said, probably not going to happen.

Which of these things is the most bizarre:

- Michigan is 7-0, #2 in the country

- Michigan will be #1 or #2 tomorrow in the country

- Michigan's head coach is Jim Harbaugh

- Michigan's head coach, Jim Harbaugh, decided to start wearing glasses on the sidelines that are a tribute to Woody Hayes and Malcolm X, and everyone is cool with it

That last one is pretty drat special.

Looked it up

The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:
(a) If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
(b) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 6 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1. The records of the three tied teams will be compared against each other.
2. The records of the three tied teams will be compared within their division.
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish (4, 5, 6, and 7).
4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents.
5. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative.
6. The representative will be chosen by random draw.


Does #5 mean record including non-conference? What's an exempted game?

Could be a couple of things, they might not count Div 2 games or FCS games (might be an old rule that was c/p'ed). They may also exclude games based on extenuating circumstances, like if a game is called in the 4th due to weather.

Meh. Can't be too disappointed with the loss - A&M had some bad offensive execution on open plays which, combined with dumb penalties, won't beat Bama. It felt like we were in for a good second half of close football up until that roughing the passer penalty, then suddenly everything went to poo poo and we couldn't get anything going again. Refs were pretty lovely the whole game (missed calls both ways) and I'm still mad about the uncalled targeting on Noil.

I still think we're a good team; Bama just happens to be much better. Hopefully there isn't a second half collapse against the last 3 SEC teams we play this season.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
So here's LSU's 4 major remaining games:

Bama, @Bert, Florida, @Aggy

Realizing LSU is serious about football and likely seriously examining all candidates and probably won't make a snap judgement, what record does Coach O need in those 4 games where you feel safe giving him the job and that he's not just going to lose all the momentum during the offseason and make LSU a shitshow?

I say any 3-1 does it but 2-2 is possible if one of the two is Bama. I like Coach O but this situation just reeks of a team cutting loose because they've got nothing to lose and also don't forget Fournette is gone in a couple months. It's really easy to see him finish this season well, get the job, and proceed to poop out 5-7 wins for 3 years until he's canned again.

You don't want LSU to turn into an Al Golden style shitshow. He's probably got to win 3-1 with Bama as a win to really convince the boosters.

For the second week in a row Rutgers actually showed signs of life, and not being as much turnover machines, they barely lost to Minnesota.

Part of this is indeed genuine progress. Their roster is comically thin, but the young players are getting comfortable in the new offense and improving on both sides of the ball. They actually have a QB who can run the offense now, which helps.

Part of it is that Lovie Smith and Tracy Claeys are comically bad. Lovie will last three years, while Claeys could be out at the end of 2017. Congrats on hiring your own Kyle Flood, Gophers.

God drat do I want a do-over of the Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota games. All eminently winnable.

This is literally true of every team every year because almost every team sucks. Everyone knows Alabama is the best team in the country, but it's not because of their rousing non conference wins over Western Kentucky, Kent State, and a lovely USC team.

The good thing about losing to Penn State is that all I had to do when my dad called this morning to gloat was say "Oh, so did Franklin get an extension?" Then suddenly he didn't want to talk about football and we could discuss our shared joy at a Cubs-Indians World Series.

Watching OSU fall in the rankings might be fun in a perverse masochistic way too, I guess. So that's two things.
