    We have a serious uphill battle to stay in at #4.

    The entire national media it seems is against us being in the playoffs. Even if we win out I don't think they will leave us in. It sucks and it's bullshit but unless one of the top 3 lose I have a bad feeling we are all gonna be sorely disappointed. All these damn Ohio State pushers in the media are gonna do us in. We need Wisconsin to whip their ass. We need K State to beat tcu We need Bama to win out and ole miss to beat Arkansas and is to destroy Vandy and win convincingly in Oxford. Even if all that happens I still think they are gonna try to screw us. We need some national media guy to get on board with us and push us

    The media doesn't have a vote. The committee has already proven they don't listen to what the media thinks. Until otherwise all this angst & fear that the media is trying to get us is just useless.

    I just don't think the committee cares about what the media thinks. They currently think we are the #4 team in the country and unless we lose or look very bad winning I think we are ok.

    If we win out we are the best 1-loss team out there. We lost to the now #1. People can bitch all they want but we only have to impress 12 people.

    If the committee wanted to push us out, last week was the week. All of our best wins lost and we lost. I don't think the committee is gonna screw us

    Hasn't TCU already beaten Kansas State? I'm pretty sure Baylor plays KSU though. TCU only has Texas left.

    Yeah, need TCU to lose to Texas, Baylor to KSU, Ohio State to Wisky, and we need to win out. If that happens we are in for sure.

    Kind of need Ole Miss to beat Arkansas. No one would have a better win on the road if we won at #8 Ole Miss.

    The committee could easily rationalize OSU over us if they add a win over Wisky and a conf. championship to their resume.

    I think the committe isn't listening to the media. I think the public would be more upset if the committee did not put the four best teams in. If that means two from the same conference then oh well.

    I know they could. Just saying if the fix was in that we wouldn't be 4 now

    No we don't. Billy Packer said of all the top 10 teams we have the hardest game left with #8 ole Miss. We win out we are in.

    The only team that will jump us is Ohio st. It doesn't matter if OM wins or gets beat 65-0.
    They will put them 4 and say it's beacuse the are league champions.
    TCU and or Baylor will not jump us....

    We win out- we are in. The committee recognizes the strength of the SEC. This committee doesnt give a shit about what Danny Kanell says

    I hope you are right, but consider this scenario:

    UPig beats the crap outta TSUN. TSUN drops to 17 or lower.
    K-State beats WV, then Kansas to move as high as 9 or 10, no worse than 11.

    Then, we narrowly defeat TSUN, while Baylor beats the living shit outta K-State. Baylor would then have wins over #5 TCU, #9-11 K-State, & ranked Oklahoma, versus our win over Auburn, who may well be below #14 after the Iron Bowl, and a win over perhaps a subsequently unranked TSUN (or at best, low-ranked).

    In that scenario, Baylor would have at least 2 wins significantly better than ours, and perhaps 3 wins better than our best win, if OU finishes higher than AU. Baylor woudl also then be the B12 Champ. That might be enough to make up the diff between our loss to Bama versus their loss to WV.

    I could not give two shits what the media or nation thinks about State. Let's see, Dak is a stand up man and the entire team, did anyone mention the fan base that welcomed the team back from Tuscaloosa, and we did not bitch and moan about coming up a little short in Tuscaloosa. Just want another shot and em. Every FSU fan I hear on sports talk radio is using tampons.


    Never underestimate the power of the Maroon and White Nation.

    Don't overlook Oregon St at home against Oregon and Florida at home against FSU. I'm just saying. I am thinking that 3 of the 5 teams we want to lose will lose. My prediction is TCU, OSU and Baylor will all lose. Just win our games and what happens, happens! We can't control anything but our two remaining regular season games. I am choosing not to get hung up in all the other crap. It's wearing me out!

    blah blah blah

    Where was Bammer before they beat us? Outside the top 4 you say? okkkkkkkkkk

    Why did the committee move them to from 5 to 1? Because the SEC is far and away the top conference. Auburn still beat K-St on the road, UPig still beat TT on the road, Ole Missus still beat Biose, Bammer still beat WV, LSU still beat Wisky....that cant be changed.

    We win our last 2? We are in
