Where do we land in the polls Tuesday

[PikeDawg15]

The Arkansas loss was a big loss for us. The committee had us ranked 17 with 3 losses and they took some grief for that. We screwed ourselves by not backing them up. If we had won that game we would have a chance of winning out and moving up maybe as high as 10.

We should have won?.

But a lot of people do not ever talk about it but , Arkansas is actually really good this year

They are a 2 point conversion and drawing anyone but Georgia from the east away from being a 1 loss team right now .

Memphis @ 24 Houston
ISU @ 13 OU (may not jump this week, but would later)
Illinois @ 17 Iowa
21 Ark @ 2 Bama (If Ark wins then we won't jump them regardless)
Nebraska @ 15 Wisconsin
Virginia @ 18 Pitt
Syracuse @ 20 NC State
UAB @ 22 UTSA
3 Oregon @ 23 Utah (if Utah wins then we won't jump them regardless)

if any of these teams lose this week then we jump them.


Given an egg bowl win next week, teams we would jump regardless of outcome:
NC State
Houston (they aren't giving AAC teams leaving ESPN for B12 / Fox a bone)

Games we'd need a loss in to jump them:
Boise @ 19 SDSU
17 Iowa @ Nebraska (need them to lose either one)
15 Wisconsin @ Minnesota (need them to lose either one)
18 Pitt @ Syracuse (need them to lose either one)
22 UTSA @ UNT (need them to lose either one)
16 A&M @ LSU
13 OU @ 9 OSU (ou loses this one and they drop right below us)
14 BYU @ USC

UTSA, Houston, Pitt, SDSU would also fall below us if they lost their conference championship games. Wisconsin / Iowa would depend on score margin. Baylor / Okie Lite / OU would need another loss with their conf champ loss. Wake Forest would need another loss with their conference championship. Utah would need to lose to Colorado and Oregon in rematch if they win this weekend.

Most realistic scenario given we win:

Houston loses 1.
OU loses 1 and miss champ game.
Ark loses to Bama.
Iowa wins their two and stays ahead.
Wisconsin wins two, loses a respectable game in CC and stays ahead.
Pitt loses at least 1 game.
UTSA wins out.
Utah loses to Oregon this week and we stay out of jumping range if they win rematch. (Too much hype imo)
NC State doesn't matter.
BYU loses to USC
A&M beats LSU


That puts us at 18 and probably 17 with ole miss slotted 18. A&M would be about 12 in this scenario and they'd get the Sugar invite given Bama wins SECC. We'd really need the cajuns to pull that one out to put us in that seat. Or some upsets to bridge the gap so the committee looks at us together and gives us H2H nod

This was the quality input I was looking for! Thanks!
