With that said, I have no complaints at all with the system so far.

Newsflash....Ga. Tech is probably going to beat FSU, and it pains me to say that....

Maybe. A part of me thinks FSU just hasnt been challenged or interested. We'll see. A lot of people are picking WI over OSU too.

Rich- you may be right. I can never remember a season where a team went 12-0 and was so scrutinized. Again, I think a lot of it is because of how dominant they were last year. They lost 12 or 13 players to the NFL, that's unheard of. They just simply aren't as good as last years team. Also, Winston really seems to be struggling compared to last year. Again, that may have a lot to due with the key players lost on offense.

I can see Wisconsin beating OSU. J.T. Barrett getting hurt is a tough blow for the Buckeyes.

Oregon got blown out by Arizona last year, and lost to them again this year. Could be interesting. I think Oregon wins going away, but I am no expert.

Alabama in with a win, even if it is unimpressive. I don't think Missouri has what it takes to beat them. Alabama in a blowout.

TCU should be in the top 4 now with the MSU loss. They should have been anyways in my opinion, considering their only loss was to the #5 or #6 team (depending on the poll) by 3 on the road. Baylor should not be ahead of TCU based on head to head. Their loss was much worse.

Florida State, as much as I hate this years team, should be in if they win. I don't think you can keep out the defending National Champion when they are undefeated. I don't think the previous season should have any bearing on the current season (see how I contradicted myself there), but they are undefeated, and I can't think of a team that is clearly better that is on the outside looking in. Maybe OSU before Barrett got hurt. I don't know if the pollsters take injuries into account?

Here's to a good weekend of College Football. Good luck to those of you that have teams in the running. Myself, I will be cheering for a New Year's Day bowl for the Gophers. (How is Nebraska ranked ahead of them?)
