Rankings out today . . .

Can UCLA make it into the playoffs or was the final 10 already cemented as of last week?

Edit: Please disregard the above post. I am way too vaked.

Nothing is "cemented" but with 2 losses the probability is extremely low. SEC better be careful or they might miss the party.

So close but yet so far, eh? They must be just kicking' themselves about now.

Gratz to Oregon.

It's okay, hopefully dropping to 3rd will give the noles some motivation or something. I'm still sticking with Miss. St. losing to Bama, meaning your ducks will jump to first, and FSU 2nd. That will put FSU against what I assume to either be TCU, Bama, Baylor, or Oregon if miss. St. wins out.

 

[t-dub]

Still a long way to go, things will change . . . Oregon has a bye week, so we have time to heal, then we play Colorado.

So what if ucla happens to say, beat oregon in the pac-12 championship?
If they otherwise win out both teams would have two losses,
and the pac-12 would be cannibalized again.
Not likely but possible nonetheless.

If standings hold Arizona st. Will be playing Oregon in the PAC-12 championship. However, anything can happen and UCLA still has a slim chance of making top 4.

It's weird to me that oregon and az state never played in the regular season, so I would enjoy that matchup as well. Hopefully whoever wins the pac-12 will get into the bcs playoffs, and do some real damage

It's all about the ACC! But I'll tell you this much, I like the PAC-12 more than the SEC

FSU taking the #1 ranking in the AP polls! Alabama jumped up to #2, followed by Oregon, Miss. St., TCU, Baylor, and Ohio State. GO NOLES!

Mariota inadvertently strikes Heisman pose . . .

Engrave the trophy already!!!

The ducks are definitely ready for the playoffs, they made the wildcats look like cupcakes!

 

[NewToVaping]

Another victory for the Noles!! That's 29 in a row, and soon enough it'll be 31 (so long as the committee doesn't exclude the undefeated defending champs from the top 4)!!

 

[NewToVaping]

Well, the ducks had a great season this year. It's a shame they're going to lose to FSU in the rose bowl!!!

 

[grokit]

Do you mean the fsu that was lucky to win yesterday, looking like the weakest team in the playoffs?

Or do you mean the indomitable juggernaut that's trying to win 31 straight games?

Because fsu is both of those!

It will be the old Heisman vs the new Heisman. See you at the Rose Bowl. If you have it, bring it.

Go Ducks!!!

Lucky to win yesterday? I'll say we got lucky vs Norte Dame, but we had this one once we took the lead. We're used to coming back down multiple tds at half, but we were already up by half. They did run a good read option though, gotta give them some credit.

 

[grokit]

Fsu got lucky when the yellowjackets flubbed their onside kick, that's for sure.
But as the only undefeated team they definitely deserve to be in

 

[Fenton Mewley]

... I should have bet on the Raiders.

All week I thought they were going to beat the 49ers.

Marcus Mariota arrives in New York for Heisman ceremony . . .

Bring it to Oregon baby!!! Go Ducks!!!

Can't believe the Heisman trophy is coming to Eugene. Mahalo Marcus . . .

I hope I get a chance to take a pic with the Heisman, I like hardware . . .

Save it for the man-crush thread @t-dub

Memphis just won a great triple overtime game in san antonio, after blowing a 21-point lead
