Who is the best team?
- Thread starter Nitt1300
- Start date
Despite the record, I think bama can beat anyone.
Currently Oregon, Ole Miss, and Alabama are playing the best football.
And, an Ohowihate fan who is kind of a friend of mine is fearful the suckeyes somehow get a first round against the Tide.
Personally, I may soil myself if that happened and Bama beat them.
We won't know until January when they play the game for the national championship. Whoever wins that game is the best team.
I agree that Alabama is a great team and definitely approaching the top 5, but prior to LSU their games went like this:
34-0 against a Missou team that had just lost their QB and had to start Drew Pyne
24-17 loss to Tennessee
27-25 win over South Carolina (granted SC is much better than people thought)
40-35 loss at Vandy

If the eventual brackets (whatever they end up being) were to be played ten times, I think you could have 6-7 different winners, with no team winning more than maybe 2-3 times at the most.
Many of these teams have played very very well at times, but also very very poorly at times. All season there have been incredibly lucky plays and incredibly unlucky plays.
And don’t underestimate the impact (pro and con) of officiating calls (or non calls) and the timing of reviews (or non reviews).

If they play make sure you have lots of paper towels!
Oregon is a clear step ahead of the field at this point but they are definitely flawed. This is the most wide open I’ve seen college football. I think there are several teams that could win it, including Penn State.
If Coach Franklin is able to tighten down the screws he can take this Nittany Lion team deep in this new playoff format. That may start by facing Ole Miss in his first game, which in my opinion is a good thing, not bad. Confidence is paramount and a hot team with momentum will beat a flat Oregon, OSU or Texas team.

Right now it is Oregon Texas and osu.
Everyone else is a wait and see team. No other team is consistent enough at winning games. if tenn wins then you can put them in the top tier. Sec teams with 2 losses and barely escaping others. So.. we will see in a couple of weeks.

Ohio State is hands down best team in College football-
they should have beaten Oregon but on the road they lost by a point.
no one is beating OSU this year. IMHO

banging on Deion currently, CU has a great shot at making the playoffs. Crazy fun year, no dominant team out there, bunch of solid teams, perfect yr for a 12-team playoff.

They can but they seem to stub their toes at times. OSU and probably Texas have the most roster talent.
Keep in mind that clear #1 Oregon beat OSU by a point - at home - when the OSU QB made a bonehead slide at the end of the game that ran the clock out when OSU could have attempted a winning FG.
But right now, there are probably 6 or 7 teams - including PSU - that has a shot at the NC. The word for the 2024 season is PARITY
