Iā€™ve never heard of this alleged CFB analyst leaking this information before.

Iā€™ll believe it when the University announces it.

Yeah, gonna have to see from the U to believe it.

So since Iowa State and ASU both won, they play each other in thr B12 title game, right?

EDIT: just looked it up, depends on the BYU/Hou outcome. If BYU wins, Iowa State is in. If Houston wins, Colorado is in.

Not if Houston beats the Zoobs, then Colorado is in. At least thatā€™s what the espn guys doing the Zoob game said.

May have to half heartedly cheer for Cougars (from Utah) as would rather see Cyclones than buffs win the title.

Well, this showed up kinda late, but better late than never.

Unless the Bottom 10 PTB find something to invalidate Kent State ending the season as #1, that result seems to be assured. Seeing Bama at #5 again had some SEC snicker to it. Next week will be the final Bottom 10. Based on todayā€™s finals, I wonā€™t be surprised if the final #5 ends up being tOSU for choking against a 6-5 Michigan team they were expected to blow out. Just goes to show in Rivalry Games records donā€™t matter. Enjoy

Yeah I think that is just a troll account with no inside info. That said, Arbuckle supposedly really is a leading candidate.

Thatā€™s why Gus didnā€™t answer the ā€œwhat would you tell your former selfā€ question.

ā€œI would say ā€˜Self, relax, this year is going to really suck, but there will be a coordinator position that comes your way that precludes answering questions like this time-traveler hypotheticalā€.

There is a better than average chance that a team new to the league wins each of the P4 conferences: Oregon on the B10, Texas in the SEC, ASU in the B12, and SMU in the ACC.

Realignment is weird.

Corner Canyonā€™s Jerome Miles has decommitted from USC. Utah didnā€™t get him the first time around, but they can now. It would be a huge get. Sounds like Texas A&M is the favorite to land him, however.

whew, just when you thought Alabama might get left out.

Four SEC teams, smh!

Honestly, this is a year in which every team is flawed. Alabama had two Top 15 wins and everyone who wants to see them travel North in December helps.

Who are you taking out and adding? BYU? Colorado? Iowa State? Clemson?

This really is a year you could just put the top 4 teams in and be done with the whole thing.

Somebody needs to have a Cinderella moment. :wink:

The little guy needs to catch a break, finally.

Iā€™m more upset the Buckeyes didnā€™t fall further after losing to a BAAAD Michigan. Their top wins are Indiana and Penn State and nobody can tell me why those teams are ranked high. Whatā€™s the quality win?

See, the whole season is filled with ā€˜mehā€™ teams.

The final Bottom 10 of the season doesnā€™t disappoint, or disappoints someā€¦anyway the highlights.

tOSU captures the coveted #5 spot from Alabama for deftly losing to a 6-5 Michigan team that had watched its last season National Championship go on the shelf, not to be followed up with another this year. To round thins out the P4 had two more teams land in the final poll - Florida State and Okie State.

Are there any must watch games this weekend? Iā€™m just not sure Iā€™m engaged enough after this years pain to care much.

Our season is over. TDS has nothing left to brag about. Alabama will get in despite 3 losses. Meh.

Feels like all the boxes are already checked.

Tomorrow (Friday) has three good games. WKU vs Jacksonville State for CUSA title. WKU beat them by a FG this weekend. UNLV v Boise is probably going to be a dogfight. Tulane travels to NY to play Army for AAC title.

Texas v UGA will be a good game as itā€™s a rematch.

As for Alabama being in Iā€™m not sold that holds. Sure, they have more Top 25 wins than most 1 and 2 loss teams and played a top 15 schedule but there are enough people complaining over a 11 or 12 seed they may throw in a crap ACC team instead.

Ashton Jeaunty is making his case tonight. He already has over 130 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

Jeanty went over 200 yards and Boise just punched their ticket to a first round bye.
