How many SEC teams had quality losses this weekend? They could jump ahead of Iowa.
Ole Miss is working on a quality loss. 42-7 at home against Georgia. Probably need to keep them above Iowa, despite their 6-3 record.
Kentucky with a nice quality 34-6 loss at Tennessee. Remember Kentucky's best win is against 6-3 LSU at home, so Kentucky is CLEARLY a top 15 team

But Kentucky has two top 10 wins! Don’t look at where those teams are ranked (or not ranked, ahem, A&M) now though, that’s irrelevant!Ole Miss is working on a quality loss. 42-7 at home against Georgia. Probably need to keep them above Iowa, despite their 6-3 record.

Slim-to-no chance we pass TT, MS, BYU or KY.The Committee is going to hear all last week about their obvious SEC bias and do a course correction....like your first drive off tee in springtime.
I say Iowa jumps ahead of OSU, Mizzou, KY, LSU,ole miss, and BYU to get to#13 or #14.
Iowa defense is giving up a paltry 11 points/game.....that's # 2 in country and a data point that will not be ignored.
May even pass Texas tech who gave up almost half our seasons total points last nite to a mediocre West Va.
I agree. I'll bet they have both Oregon and OSU still ahead of us. Probably move to 17 or 18. Right now they have OSU at 6-3 with a 42% chance of making the CFP, and Iowa at 7-2 at 22%. With Notre Dame winning I think we're screwed.Based strictly on teams ahead that lost today they almost have to be 15. So probably jumped by Oregon but behind OSU due to head to head that only matters when it matters, remaining at 19.
ThisShould be 12-14, will probably be 16-18
I'll be shocked if they don't have both Oregon and OSU at 6-3 ahead of Iowa. Forget the turds Oregon laid this yearSlim-to-no chance we pass TT, MS, BYU or KY.
Speaking of K.Y., we need to be ready for 3-loss Oregon to jump us from the rear.

OSU, Ole Miss, lSU and Mizzou. Kentucky won’t drop that far and BYU -Utah was a really good game, so doubtful we pass them.Good point. The committee was roasted all week. Although they might just see the Alabama win and say "see, we know what we are doing"
My guess is that we will be #15, but getting from #15 to #11 is a giant leap. I think we will need help to get there, even with a very strong finish getting to 10-2.My guess is 15 maybe 14, BUT the you know who conference gets plenty of bias unfortunately.
A 2 loss Notre Dame doesn't fall far enough for Iowa to jump so they may as well just stay ahead. In my opinion the muddier the waters around the Hawks the better. Let's get everyone to 2 or 3 losses so we can hear the bullsh*t reasoning for the last iteration of the 12 team popularity contest.I think it would have helped us a lot more if Notre Dame and Tennessee lost
Our strength schedule took a hit yesterday. 8 of the 9 teams we’ve played this season lost (Wisconsin managed to get past Rutgers), as did two of our three remaining opponents.
Not a whole lot of use scoreboard watching. Just win and let the chips fall where they may. Our best win this season is going to be Wisconsin or Northwestern. Minnesota isn’t a bad team, but that loss just plain looks bad and we are likely not going to get the benefit of the doubt over any other 10-2 team.
