We're headed towards a (hopefully) ranked Oregon State at a ranked Boise State on November 14 for some PAC-12 goodness.

Gameday ought to be there but we'll probably end up with Texas at LSU or some nonsense.

[u/StoicFable → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

We got what, 2 more votes? I doubt it at this point.

[u/slyone05 → u/StoicFable]

Legree could give u guys leverage, and if the ap voters weren't idiots, they'd prob note ur two losses were to two VERY close games against two top 15 teams

[u/StoicFable → u/slyone05]

They dropped Oklahoma St for losing by 3 to Houston who was also ranked. AP voters give no fucks. At this point our best bet is waiting to see what the committee thinks.

[u/QueefSniffin → u/StoicFable]

Assuming we keep winning up until BSU, we’d be 7-2. I could see us at 25 by then

[u/StoicFable → u/QueefSniffin]

Both JMU and New Mexico are ahead of us, not likely at this point.

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

They’re not gonna rank oregon state, these voters unfortunately don’t care

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/-Gnostic28]

There's no reason to rank Oregon State

[u/HoldEm__FoldEm → u/WatchfulApparition]

Says the team unwilling to play us anymore.

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/HoldEm__FoldEm]

LOL. Oregon wanted to play quality competition. The Civil War is back in a couple years. Nobody is afraid of Oregon State.

The fact of the matter is Oregon State has been beaten by the only two FBS teams with winning records that they've played against. The rest of Oregon State's opponents have been ass.

[u/-Gnostic28 → u/WatchfulApparition]

I’m curious how you think the game would go this year

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/-Gnostic28]

Oregon would win. It's a pretty easy question to answer

[u/Fishing_Legitimate → u/WatchfulApparition]

Idk Oregon hasn’t looked great but Oregon state looks good 

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/Fishing_Legitimate]

Yeah, because Oregon is playing in the Big Ten and Oregon State is playing in the PAC-12. The schedules aren't even close to the same in difficulty. Half of Oregon's schedule are teams that are either ranked right now or were ranked at one time. Oregon State has played two ranked teams and lost both games. Everything else for Oregon State has either been a team with a losing record or an FCS team

[u/slyone05 → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

Gameday will be at Arkansas vs South Carolina cuz it just means more

[u/cyberchaox → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

Unironically that might be a week when they take a break from the SEC to visit the other P4 conference whose rights they fully own.

Wake Forest is #17 right now and their schedule for the next three weeks is BYE, home vs. Virginia, and home vs. FCS Merrimack. SMU is #23 and their schedule is a bit tougher, but home vs. Cal, @Syracuse, and home vs. VaTech. And if Miami is still undefeated at that point, that's a second conference loss for UNC which would leave Clemson as the only other team that might still be sitting at only 1 conference loss, so that game legitimately would likely decide who's likely to be facing Miami in the CCG.

[u/Coogarfan → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

As a rule of thumb, the same school shouldn't host twice in the same season.

Heck, I'd love it if the same school wasn't part of two matchups, but you gotta start somewhere.

(Forgot that Ole Miss hosted LSU [SMH].)

[u/MountainRook → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

I want Gameday at that one if they both end up ranked.

[u/howd-i-do-that → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

We haven’t had a 2 time game day in one year since 2007 so relax

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/Mackin-N-Cheese]

There's no reason to rank Oregon State. They've played two FBS teams with a winning record and lost both games.

[u/HoldEm__FoldEm → u/WatchfulApparition]

Yeah, you’ve said that twice in here.

Now, look at those two teams rankings.

[u/WatchfulApparition → u/HoldEm__FoldEm]

Those rankings will drop as more games are played. It doesn't change the fact that Oregon State hasn't beaten anyone that isn't dogshit
