Who Should be in the Top 4? - BengalHawk62 - 11-03-2015
My guess this week......
1. Clemson (Wins against 7-1 Notre Dame, 5-3 Miami, and 5-3 NC State
2. LSU (Wins against 6-2 Miss State, 7-1 Florida, and 7-2 Western Kentucky)
3. IOWA (Wins against @ 7-2 Wisconsin, @ 6-2 Northwestern, and 6-2 Pittsburgh)
4. Alabama (Wins against 6-2 Wisconsin, 6-2 Texas A&M, and 5-3 Georgia but a loss to Ole Miss)
5. Michigan St. (Wins is over 6-2 Michigan and 5-3 Oregon)
6. Ohio State (Wins is over 7-2 Penn State team)
7. Memphis (wins against 6-2 Ole Miss)
8. TCU (Wins is over 5-4 Texas Tech team)
9. Baylor (Wins is over a 5-4 Texas Tech team)
10. Florida (Wins against 7-2 Ole Miss and 5-3 Georgia but a loss against LSU)
11. Notre Dame (Wins against 6-1 Navy, 5-3 USC, and 7-1 Temple but a loss to Clemson)
12. Okie State (Wins over 5-4 Texas Tech)
13. Utah (Wins against 6-2 Michigan, 5-3 Cal, and 5-3 Oregon but a loss to USC)
14. Stanford (Wins against 6-2 UCLA, 5-3 USC, and 5-3 Washington State but a loss to Northwestern)
15. Florida State (win against 5-3 Miami but a loss to Georgia Tech)
Rankings are fluid and will change week to week

1. Michigan
ha!
so tough this year to pick right now. but your suspects up there from 1-6 are all deserving of number 1 let alone the top 4-5. Florida's loss is to LSU team so i'd throw them in there.
speaking of LSU...that tailback is something else.
congrats on a great season for the hawkeyes so far this year.

Clemson will remain number one.....unfortunately for this Seminoles fan. I just don't think we have the firepower.

Really? This is one game this weekend that I am definitely tuning in for. I think its going to be one heck of a game. Is Golston back?

Sorry....just saw this. As you know , Gholson didn't make it back and we lost. It was a good game....but I feel the better team won. I think they would've won regardless of the QB.

OSU is undefeated and defending National Champs. They are top four based on those two reasons combined. They lose one game though then I dont think they should make the top 4 in the end, unless other teams collapse.
The other 3 are Clemson, Alabama, and Notre Dame.
RE: Who Should be in the Top 4? - Goalpost - 11-12-2015
Clemson
Ohio State
Oklahoma St
Baylor
5th...Iowa
Omit Houston, also undefeated. To me, the committee should give more weight to being undefeated.
Alabama and ND 6th and 7th right now.

Michigan State will bump Iowa, who has a weaker strength of schedule and less convincing wins. It will make it easier to digest when MSU beats them in the Big 10 title game.
I think OSU will sit at 6 and hope for a win against Bama or Clemson to work their way back in to the top 4.
Can you imagine a top 4 of Bama, OSU, Oklahoma, and Michigan State?
I think it has a real chance. Clemson will have real trouble with NC.

We know either Iowa/MSU will drop out so a Clemson and/or Bama loss would be needed. Also wouldn't hurt for Stanford to lose to USC to keep them from possibly leap frogging to the top 4.
