Auburn will be #3 tonight- book it...

[DistrictDawg92]

Auburn's only loss is to the #1 team in the nation at our place, which has to be the best loss out of all 1 loss teams. The beat K-State @ K-State, who would be unanimous #2 IMO if they had pulled it out against Auburn(I really believe K-State is a top 5 team and will handle TCU @ TCU on November 8th fairly easily, their defense is SECish). Also, Auburn beat LSU 41-7, who is one of the hottest teams out there right now. Auburn has the best resume out there for a 1 loss team and should be #3 if not #2 when the rankings come out tonight. If Oregon is ranked ahead of Auburn with a home loss to Arizona, I will lose all faith in the playoff committee. I have a good feeling the committee will nail it tonight though.

They will also be #3 come Sunday morning

[Homedawg]

I'll take that bet. They won't be 3 tonight.

In an NCAA March Madness-style resume comparison, I agree with you.

I'm not sure if Auburn is better than Bama or not at this point, but Auburn's current resume is better than Bama's. Auburn's going to get some credit for going on the road and beating KSU.

Sure, Bama may be better than Auburn, but that will be settled November 29th. The point is, these rankings WILL be based off of what has happened so far this season, and the two areas that will be considered the most IMO is how "good" one's losses are and how quality one's wins are, especially road wins. As of October 28th, Auburn has the 3rd best resume and that's all you can base it off of. I promise the committee will not base the rankings on ifs and buts, however, they will base it on FACTS. Fact is, Auburn is the 3rd best team in the nation right now when looking at the one thing that matters, what has actually already happened so far this season. These rankings are week to week, not predicting what will happen throughout the remainder of the season.

Yep. Auburn will jump bama this sat

[codeDawg]

I agree. It should be:

1. MSU
2. FSU
3. Auburn
4. Notre Dame

Auburn and ND have the two "best" losses by losing to number 1 and number 2. Everybody else has a "worse" loss.

[FlabLoser]

Auburn will be a solid 2 or 3 after they beat Ole Miss.

Ya know what..I confess I still can't get used to us being #1 and all the debate being about who is 2nd & 3rd fiddle to us. This is unfreaking real still.

If the committee is trying to put together the top 4 teams based on current records and achievements, you are absolutely right.

#1 should be MSU for being undefeated, winning a top 10 game, a top 25 game, and dominating all other opponents (for the most part).
#2 should be FSU for being undefeated
#3 should be Auburn for beating K-State and LSU and only losing to the #1 team away
#4 should be a charlie foxtrot between ND, OM, BAMA, KSTATE, TCU, Oregon, Michigan State, UGA

Should? It should be MSU, Auburn, Alabama, FSU.

Yeah I know what you're saying with Notre Dame, but who have they really beaten? Stanford? Maybe, but they are 5-3 and Notre Dame only beat them by 3 at home. ND does have the second best loss, you could even argue the best loss because they should have beaten FSU @ FSU. But the rest of Notre Dame's case is pretty weak. Honestly, I think OM has a pretty good case to sneak in the top 4, they beat Bama, who some consider the best team in the nation, and they're only loss is to LSU in Death Valley at night, where they have only loss to #1 teams since the Mad Hatter has been there, I may be wrong on that but I'm almost positive that's fact. With all that said, I would not be surprised at all to see ND in the top 4, I just don't think it's deserved, I think they should be #5 or #6.

On a side note I'm a big believer in Kansas State, I think they will see the biggest jump from the AP to the committee rankings.

[sleepy dawg]

We'll see how much they're using that stupid FPI tool that has us ranked 5th right now.

Smart thinking. If they don't see it EXACTLY the way one random guy sees it, then no one should have any faith in them at all.

Never said no one should have faith in them, I'm sure if Oregon is above Auburn that the Oregon fans will claim the committee to be the second coming of the 12 disciples, that's a lot of faith BTW. All I said is that one random guy won't have faith in them.

[Covercorner2]

It WILL be:

State
FSU
AU
Oregon

[DistrictDawg92]

If it is based purely off of what has happened so far this season, considering only how "good" your losses are and the quality of your wins especially road wins, this is my top 15.

1. MSU
2. FSU
3. AU
4. Bama
5. Notre Dame
6. Ole Miss
7. Kansas State
8. Oregon
9. TCU
10. Baylor
11. Georgia
12. Michigan State
13. Arizona
14. Arizona State
15. LSU

[cheewgumm]

Arizona getting screeeeeewed!!!!

[DistrictDawg92]

Arizona getting screeeeeewed!!!!

That loss to USC at home looks uglyyyyyyy to me. A team who loses to a 5-3 team at home doesn't deserve to be in the top 10. However, man if they could have pulled that game off they would be looking really pretty right now. That Arizona-Arizona State game should be a good one.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm not expecting Auburn at #3. I think the committee is going rank the top 4 as follows:

1) MSU
2) FSU
3) Alabama
4) Oregon

[Covercorner2]

Auburn has better wins and a "better" loss than Alabama...

I don't get the love for Bama. Their best, and only only good win is West Virginia
