November 7, 20187 yr Nope they will beat Arkansas by 3 TDs. You do understand these rankings are brand new every single week right? That's irrelevant to what you're trying to say is going to happen. Nothing that will happen this week should put LSU behind those three teams. If LSU is ranked behind all three of those teams, I'll be shocked to say the least.

If LSU is ranked behind all three of those teams, I'll be shocked to say the least. That’s not irrelevant at all. You’re stuck in the AP/Coaches Poll type of group think that you have to lose to move down in the rankings and that just isn’t the case with this committee and they’ve shown that.
November 7, 20187 yr That’s not irrelevant at all. You’re stuck in the AP/Coaches Poll type of group think that you have to lose to move down in the rankings and that just isn’t the case with this committee and they’ve shown that. Show me an example where a team has won by three plus touchdowns (your prediction for LSU this week) and dropped AT LEAST three spots.
November 7, 20187 yr Nope they will beat Arkansas by 3 TDs. You do understand these rankings are brand new every single week right? Of course they are but what could WSU do to move past LSU if LSU beats Arkansas by 3 TDs?
November 7, 20187 yr Author Show me an example where a team has won by three plus touchdowns (your prediction for LSU this week) and dropped AT LEAST three spots. They are ahead of three 1 loss teams. Those 1 loss teams if they gain wins will jump them. I don’t know if it’s happened before but I think it will happen this week.
November 7, 20187 yr They are ahead of three 1 loss teams. Those 1 loss teams if they gain wins will jump them. I don’t know if it’s happened before but I think it will happen this week. So basically, "because I say so"....:lol2:
November 7, 20187 yr Author Of course they are but what could WSU do to move past LSU if LSU beats Arkansas by 3 TDs? Arkansas is horrible. But if WSU wins they will gain a win against a team that is .500 or better. This is a stat the committee cites just about every week. This stat is why Ohio State is where they are now because they only have 1. Washington State and Ohio State will gain one this week with wins and West Virginia should be really impressive over TCU this week. Much more impressive than LSU will be over Arkansas.
November 7, 20187 yr Author So basically, "because I say so"....:lol2: Pretty much, yeah. That’s what my intuition is telling me. You can look at my response to woodsrider if you want more explanation.
November 7, 20187 yr Pretty much, yeah. That’s what my intuition is telling me. You can look at my response to woodsrider if you want more explanation. Same intuition that told you Penn State was a great team? Or that Wisconsin was good?
November 7, 20187 yr They are ahead of three 1 loss teams. Those 1 loss teams if they gain wins will jump them. I don’t know if it’s happened before but I think it will happen this week. So then the committee hasn't really shown your theory to be true? :lol2:

The fact that they left LSU ahead of WSU after getting waxed by Bama speaks volumes in my mind. WSU just doesn't have any great wins. I just don't see why you would think the committee believes LSU is better this week but a win over a average at best Colorado would change their minds.

Washington State and Ohio State will gain one this week with wins and West Virginia should be really impressive over TCU this week. Much more impressive than LSU will be over Arkansas. So we are assuming the committee will ignore the teams resumes then? Because LSU has three better wins than any of the three teams you think will jump them. Not to mention only one of the three teams is actually playing someone ranked this weekend.
November 7, 20187 yr Using these CFP Rankings: WSU - No wins against CFP Top 25, playing unranked Colorado. OSU - One win vs #20 PSU, playing #18 MSU. WVU - One win vs #19 Texas, playing unranked TCU. LSU - Wins vs. #24 Auburn, #5 Georgia, #16 Mississippi State, playing unranked Arkansas.

I just don't see why you would think the committee believes LSU is better this week but a win over a average at best Colorado would change their minds. Exactly. WSU stayed stagnant this week at #8. If the committee thought they were better than LSU, they would have made that move this week. Colorado is 5-4 and currently on a 4 game losing streak, beating them does absolutely nothing for WSU.
November 7, 20187 yr Author Same intuition that told you Penn State was a great team? Or that Wisconsin was good? I’m impressed with your Wolverines. Wisconsin is trash but Penn State isn’t as bad as your Wolverines made them look. Michigan is just really good.
