MSU, FSU, Auburn and Ole Miss top 4.

Meh...win and we're in.

Yup. Considering Ole Miss plays Auburn this weekend even. And then Mississippi State plays Ole Miss in the last week of the season.


Tonight was reassuring, especially with ND at 10. Win our last five games and we are in. Maybe even the one seed.

Looks good to me. Ole Miss/Miss State; Auburn/Bama still have to play each other.

Notre Dame at 10.

Auburn being rewarded for travelling to K-State.

Arizona being bumped a bit higher than in the national polls.

Overall, solid job.

Win and we're in.

Can't complain overall for sure. I like Arizona is at 12 too, some more Pac-12 love.

Winner of ASU and Utah should hopefully get a big bump this week, outside of that no complaints.

Ole Miss plays Auburn too. Just win em all Ducks!

Also, I hope that they don't mind shaking things up week to week. If Ole Miss loses big this weekend(as I expect) they should see a substantial drop behind teams like Arizona and Utah at the very least.

The thing that bothers me is this. They basically went with the AP poll. No thinking outside the box, no accounting for injuries or SOS, its the AP poll. So what is the committee for if they are going to mirror the AP poll? I realize just like the Pac, the SEC has to all play each other still, but IF, just for arguments sake the final poll is Mississippi State, Florida State, Alabama, Auburn, they are seriously just going to have an SEC playoff? That is change?

One thing, Our loss to a higher ranked team Arizona, with significant injuries, I would think should have us ranked above an Ole Miss who lost to a good, but two loss LSU team. Yes I know it will change this week so I am satisfied, but more $ec love/ bias.

They put Ole miss three spots above where they were in the AP. They put Alabama 3 spots lower than they were in the AP. They put Notre Dame four spots back. They bumped Arizona up two. Not like AP at all.

Really tough to complain about anything with it being so early still. Oregon's (and just about everyone in the top 10) road to a playoff berth is as easy as winning out.

But we were at home when we lost.

But this pretty much says the only 2 loss team that can get in is from the SEC.

#5? I say we control our own destiny
