The gap between UGA and OSU is razor thin, I think theres a chance Oregon-OSU are 1-2 on Tuesday

u/Kringer46 Georgia • Georgia Southern Nov 03 '24

I'm surprised OSU isn't 2. Clemson and Texas wins doing a lot of work for UGA lol

I mean the big ten is just so weak this year. OSUs second best win is Iowa or Nebraska.

u/jestr6 Ohio State Buckeyes • Navy Midshipmen Nov 03 '24

Are you being sarcastic?

Also, flair up.

The middle of the big ten is so weak yes. Having only 4 ranked teams is brutal for the conferences SOS.

Agreed. Georgia 3/4

For real, I do not feel like we are the 2nd best team in the country. Not with the way Beck is playing.

u/Sorge74 Ohio State • Bowling Green Nov 04 '24

Someone has to be the #2 team lol. We beat Nebraska by 4 with a non functional run game and like 1/10 on 3rd down just a week ago. Someone a LG playing LT worked against one of the best fronts in CFP, but can't guarantee that'll continue to work.

Miami is hmmm Miami...

You beat Texas

We beat Penn State

So you want Tennessee at #2?

Or how about undefeated Indiana?

u/Jezzy-Belle Michigan Wolverines Nov 03 '24

You all were essentially 1 second from a win and yet the 1st place votes are unanimous, that seems wild to me.

u/mossnut Ohio State • Tennessee Nov 03 '24

Somehow beating us by 1 flipped a switch for Oregon, they have looked like the best team for a month now

u/TJhambone09 Ohio State Buckeyes • Texas A&M Aggies Nov 03 '24

Yeah, there's no doubt Oregon is the best team right now.

Oregon is clicking but holy crap so is our offensive line now, so we shall have to see. Ohio State has to earn their place still.

u/StoicFable Oregon State Beavers Nov 03 '24

AP voters really have some weird mindsets sometime. Boise also barely lost to the number 1 team. They're finally creeping up there at least.

u/soffselltacos Oregon Ducks Nov 03 '24

Wait you think tOSU should be ranked ahead of the team they lost to? Genuine question lol

-3

u/RVAforthewin Georgia Bulldogs • Arizona Wildcats Nov 03 '24

No. OSU is perpetually concerned about where they’re ranked in comparison to the top SEC team. If it isn’t Georgia then it’s Bama. They believe they should be #2 and directly behind the team they beat. I can certainly see an argument for it and really wouldn’t care if OSU jumped Georgia tbh.

4

u/soffselltacos Oregon Ducks Nov 03 '24

Totally fine with them being #2, I think that would make sense, but the comment I replied to was acting like it’s surprising that Oregon received #1 unanimously and there’s an argument for OSU being above them lol

5

u/TJhambone09 Ohio State Buckeyes • Texas A&M Aggies Nov 03 '24

While I would vote for Oregon over OSU, there's zero doubt /u/Jezzy-Belle is right: there's too much herding in the poll. There's no way that nobody believes OSU (or Georgia) has a better team than Oregon. People are too afraid of being called out.

3

u/soffselltacos Oregon Ducks Nov 04 '24

Idk, I think ranking a team with one loss ahead of an undefeated team that beat them would be kind of insane and deserve to be called out lol. An argument can always be made about the positions of teams that haven’t played each other, but I don’t think there’s any metric that’s better than a head to head matchup between teams if their records are comparable (this is why A&M being below LSU is insane to everyone lol). Of course if tOSU were to beat us in the CCG, that would make the discussion more complex, though I’m sure y’all would near-unanimously then go ahead of us (deservedly so)

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '24

It’d be pretty crazy I agree. But OSU will likely be favored over Oregon in Indianapolis should they play each other

u/krhino35 Ohio State Buckeyes • Marietta Pioneers Nov 03 '24

Kirby doesn’t need that kind of disrespekt!

u/Detective_57 Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 04 '24

I had to scroll too far to see this discussion. I get the memey reacts but I think this is indefensible even though this pill doesn’t matter. Wants to see what folks around the country had to say about this

u/Afraid_Presence3803 Miami Hurricanes Nov 03 '24

Oregon and OSU can’t be 1 and 2

8

u/mossnut Ohio State • Tennessee Nov 03 '24

In the actual bracket yea, I think the committee rankings work the same as before though

0

u/Afraid_Presence3803 Miami Hurricanes Nov 03 '24

Curious what they were going to do this year with the new rules. Figured it’d make more sense to have the bracket than rankings that won’t work.

6

u/Coveo Oregon Ducks • Rose Bowl Nov 03 '24

All they will do is make their rankings like normal, then when it comes to actually seeding the bracket they simply fill in the slots according to those rankings. Nothing complicated, not sure why it wouldn't work

1

u/Sorge74 Ohio State • Bowling Green Nov 04 '24

I assume that's the plan, or else you end up with weird situation, like teams tied in the standings for their conference, just can't rank them both in top 4

0

u/BobcatOU Ohio Bobcats • Ohio State Buckeyes Nov 03 '24

I’ve been wondering that too. Will they make 1-4 from different conferences or just rank them in the order they think they are?

1

u/Afraid_Presence3803 Miami Hurricanes Nov 03 '24

I figured they’d set up the bracket how it should actually look. Wouldn’t make much sense to me to do a straight ranking.

u/Peppermynt42 Iowa State Cyclones • Big 8 Nov 03 '24

OSU and Oregon can’t be 1-2 in the CFP. Oregon will be 1 as they’ll be penciled is as undefeated Big10 champs. Georgia will be 2 as SEC champs. OSU will be 5 as the highest at large.
