NCAA 2014 Season Discussion

So what will the top 10 be like after this week?

I'm thinking it will be something like this,

1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Oregon
4. Alabama
5. TCU
6. Arizona State
7. Baylor
8. Ohio State
9. Nebraska
10. Ole Miss

Yeah I can't see Alabama making it though. They play Miss. State next week and I can't see them winning that one and they might lose to Auburn too.

Rankings are a bit surprising this week. Everyone expected Alabama to go into the top four I'd imagine but they stay at five and gat overtaken by TCU. Arizona State and Baylor the other two big movers and little ole Marshall still nowhere to be seen despite three teams who have lost three games being ranked.

Oh yeah and the 'noles fall to three despite another win.

notre dame to 18 is harsh

I'm not too sure. They were unlucky vs FSU, but were very poor against Navy and Arizona State. Throw in the fact that the Stanford game looks worse by the week.

Notre Dame lose to a ranked opponent though and Auburn lose to an unranked one(at the time) but they only fell to 9. Its ridic that a team who gets well beat by a ranked opponent fall more than a team who get beat by an unranked opponent.

There is a lot of ridic stuff going on with the rankings. Like the Seminoles are unbeaten and started at no.1 and are now ranked 3rd. Oregon have lost a game and are ahead of them. They've both beaten one top ten opponent so its not like Oregon have a super strong schedule or anything.

It just seems like the confidence is gone out of the Irish now. They look awful today after one quarter in a game they should be winning easily.

Irish lost 43-40 and its game over for them as regards a decent bowl.:(

Canes up by 14 already, nothing new here, it seems to be the norm for the noles to give their opponents a head start of late.

Winston throws a long ball into double coverage and its intercepted. Horrible play from him and the noles will be down by 13 at the half.

Noles win again, its like they are just making it fun every week for themselves, seeing how much they can come back from.

Astonishing. The record lasted a week!

Perine is a true freshman.

Baylor are going to make the playoffs. I picked them very early on and I still think they are the best team in football this season.

Iron Bowl time again. Both teams looked off-colour against FCS teams last weekend and it was probably because the focus was squarely on this weekend. Bama are going for the SEC title (which will be against Mizzou, who quietly swept up the SEC East yesterday, all the talk was of Georgia this year but Mizzou have now made back-to-back SEC championship games. No mean feat.) and revenge for the Kick-Six game last year. For Auburn it's just about manoeuvring for a better bowl game.. oh, and the Iron Bowl itself.

Hard to describe how much this game looms over Alabama the entire year, it really is one of the greatest rivalries in American sports. The last five winners have made the BCS title game (with four wins) and were Bama to win no one would bet against that streak continuing. Heard another good stat - Auburn have won the last six Iron Bowls where they've been nationally ranked going into the game. They're No. 15 today.

If it's half as good as the 2011 and 2013 Iron Bowls we're in for a treat.

I still can't believe the finish to last years. One of the best I have ever or will ever see in my life.
