Clemson is #2 in most of the "BCS polls" coming out now

Clemson's OOC SOS is paying off. The BCS standings will reflect it in spades.

as of today. 1st BCS doesnt come out til Oct 20. CPUs will probably vary a bit at that point.

Especially after the showdown with FSU. That game will make or break Clemson, but they still have that monkey on their back at the end of the season to hold a seance and get rid of. SC is still on the schedule and the Ole Ball Coach has had a few things for Clemson the past few years.

Oregon will have some games to bump up their schedule as well. Things will balance out by the end of the season. Hopefully it doesn't come to more than 2 undefeated teams at the end of the year.

That's true. But Clemson's SOS is going to be hard to top if they go undefeated.

Well, I think either Clemson or FSU or Oregon or Stanford should all get in ahead of Ohio State. They don't play much of anybody.

Watch Clemson lose to friggin Virginia ... lol

It will for sure. If and big if both Oregon and Clemson went undefeated most likely Clemson stays ahead in the cpus. That is 1/3 of the formula. I think the human element in the other 2/3 would give Oregon a slight edge over a Clemson or undefeated ACC team.

Ohio State will most likely have played 3 Top 25 teams at the end of the year. Same as FSU, Clemson, Oregon, and Stanford. That's what I find kinda funny ... people knock on Ohio State's schedule ... but at years end they will have played just as many ranked teams.

Who are these 3 wonderful ranked teams? Michigan, Northwestern and Wisky? PLease. Most likely NW won't be ranked at the end of the year and Wisky may not be. I feel sure, however, that Georgia, FSU, Clemson, Florida and SC all will be. So an undefeated ACC team should get in ahead of O-State. Sorry, but them's just the facts. Don't kill the messenger.

You should look up the definition of the word "fact" ....

Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Michigan all have a legit shot at being in the Top 25 by years end. You can disagree with that ... but don't sit here and pretend like it's impossible.

Now tell me which teams you think will have more than 3 Top 25 teams on their schedule at years end. Stanford might have 4 .... the rest will probably have 3.

Wisconsin and Northwestern are both good football teams. Those wins are big and arguing won't change that. Michigan on the other hand is still very questionable. Whether or not they will be ranked is unknown just yet.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

Ohio State - Northwestern, Wisconsin, Michigan
Oregon - Washington, UCLA, Stanford
FSU - Clemson, Miami, Florida (perhaps Maryland? not looking good though)
Clemson - Georiga, FSU, S Carolina
Stanford - Washington, UCLA, Oregon (perhaps ASU)

That's what I see as of today ...

Possibly. I think at most they could lose 4. That might be enough to get them in ... then again, maybe not. Would depend on if they could beat Northwestern or keep it close most likely.

Also don't forget Ohio State still has the Big 10 title game. Could be playing a ranked Nebraska team and if they keep Armstrong at qb who knows how much better this team can be.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Clemson will fuck up somewhere, if they don't they deserve to be in the NCG

 

[BTSBuckeye]

Nebraska's November stretch is pretty nasty this year ...

 

[theboardref]

Best team in that stretch is by far Northwestern. They do go to Michigan and Penn State. While those are big games both are very manageable.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

Yeah ... I think the B1G is going to be interesting the rest of the way actually. Obviously people are shoe'ing in Ohio State, but they still can't let the upset happen.

However the next 2-4 teams could get REALLLL interesting. Wisconsin and NW play this weekend ... that's gonna be one to keep an eye on. I don't know why that poster is poopooing NW, they're a legit team this year. (Been a solid team the past few years actually) I wouldn't be totally shocked if they finish in the Top 10, provided they beat Wisconsin.

 

[BTSBuckeye]

Keep and eye on Michigan State too ... they probably will have the best defense in the conference by years end.
