2019 CFB Pre Week 10 Thoughts

[The_QCT]

I'm back!!!

I've been absent the last few weeks with family engagements, work, etc... But I'm back with the latest installment.

The only big shakeup since the last installment was Oklahoma going down to Kansas State. Wisconsin was not a shake-up as they were always a pretender...and never really had a chance.

The two teams playing the best, most complete football in the country right now are Ohio State & Clemson. Both LSU and Alabama have strong offenses, but both team's defenses are mediocre at the moment.

I have been playing with a power ranking formula. I'm not going to get into all the math behind it, but it counts performance relative to opponents and opponent's performance. So strength of opponents is an element accounted for. The following is my Top 10 based on the formula.


1. Ohio State - 11.9
2. Clemson - 11.8
3. Penn State - 11.7
4. Alabama - 11.7
5. Minnesota - 11.6
6. LSU - 10.1
7. Baylor - 9.9
8. Utah - 9.7
9. Georgia- 9.5
10. Temple - 9.3


With the first CFP rankings coming out this Tuesday, this is how I see the top 4 shaking out:

1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. OSU
4. Clemson

I really think they put LSU and Alabama 1 & 2 to drive the story line the following weekend in the game. They aren't supposed to do this, but there is a lot of money involved and I think that is how it plays out.

What should the first CFP ranking look like?

1. OSU - weak schedule, but has dominated everybody
2. Clemson - Most complete team in the country on both sides of the football
3. LSU - best resume
4. Alabama - worst schedule, but the name Alabama will keep them in top 4

Unless Alabama loses two games they are in.

I don't agree with it, but the sheeple will still find cause to put them in. God forbid the Buckeyes, or Clemson lose a single game cause they will not make it in.

I just heard earlier today that the Buckeyes were never ranked number 1 in the BCS. Ever. I know ESPN has some serious hate for the Buckeyes and really try to pedal the wolverines at the start of every year as soooo much better. And every year we beat them. BCS bid or not.

Fuck the coastal elites.

1) Who ever loses Saturday (LSU or Alabama) is out as of Saturday. A 2nd SEC team will not make the CFP at 11-1 if there are 1 loss conference champions (e.g. 12-1 Utah or Oregon; 12-1 Oklahoma). The only time a second SEC team made the CFP was over a 2 loss B1G champion Ohio State and 3 Pac 12 champion USC.

2) Clemson will not make it in if they lose a game. Their schedule (although better than Alabama's) is being knocked too hard. The good new is that Clemson will win every game left on it's schedule, and the ACC Championship game, by 20+.

3) This OSU's 1st go round as the #1 team in the CFP...they have never deserved the ranking before...and it's debatable whether they deserve it now. LSU has played a much tougher schedule. But it really doesn't matter. The bad news for OSU fans is that no #1 has ever won the CFP. If OSU remains #1, that trend will continue.
