sec bias

eeking out wins against mediocre teams (that all lost last week)

soft pre conference schedule

QB/offense problems

"eye test"

 

take your pick or all of the above.  i'm not surprised

we better win out or.......

And if we win out, we might be the #1 seed.

The close loss to Ohio State doesn't look as good after what they've done (or, more accurately, haven't done) the last couple of weeks.

#4 was probably too high for us.  I mean, we've had two unranked teams take us to OT in consecutive weeks, and we needed a 60-yard FG to force OT against one of them.  We've averaged 14 points in regulation in our last four games.  We just don't look very good.  I think what happened today with the CFP rankings was a correction, although dropping us 5 spots without playing seems kind of crazy. 

Still, we can end up in great shape if we win out, starting with this HUGE game Saturday.  We need to kick some Trojan ass and go from there.

This is exactly what I predicted would happen. All the teams that moved ahead of IU look far better.

Committee has us furthest below where the algorithms place us compared to any team I saw who's 'in'. Will we get a Notre Dame sized leap by beating USC?

Kentucky most overseeded, Alabama, Tennessee also. I wonder what league they play in? UCLA, Utah a bit. Although how to you rate zero loss teams. BYU benefiting from needing Notre Dame to be highly ranked.

Didn't somebody smash Alabama late last year, showing relative performance levels? 

Cig is right on marching orders.
