CFP Week 2

[GTCrew4b]

VPI was much healthier when they played us. The VPI team that played us isn't a 1-4 team in conference.

No two loss team will make it this year.

I am not totally sure there will be enough undefeated/1 loss teams to fill the top 4 this year. A 2 loss team getting in seems as possible as the rankings staying the same as they are now.

Both UVA and Pitt are better wins that VPI

All three teams are 4-5. VT by far has the best win, @ Ohio State. We also beat VT before they had some key injuries.

Virginia has the second best win, over Louisville. Other than that they've beaten Pitt. I think they are probably a better team than VT, but the difference to me is Lane Stadium v. BDS.

Pitt's best, and really only, win of the season is over VT. They lost to Akron. At least the ECU team that VT lost to is good. They aren't as good of a team as VT, either on paper or on tv.

ESPN typically uses whatever gives the lower number. So if GT's best ranking is 24, they will use that one.

This is incorrect. They used one of the polls (AP, I think) up until the CFP polls came out, and now they're using those. They don't use different polls for different teams.

Must be different now. Always seemed like they've used whatever is the best number.

You will probably have one or more 1 loss (or fewer) teams from the SEC, ACC, Big12, and Pac12. My guess is that there will likely be 5-6 one loss teams. Even if there aren't enough to fill the top 4, the 2 loss teams will come from the SEC, Big12, or Pac12, not the ACC or B1G.

There are 3 Big12 teams with one loss right now. KState has TCU, WVU, and Baylor, so they could easily lose another one. TCU doesn't really have anyone else left besides KState, but Baylor also has Oklahoma. I could see KState beating Baylor and TCU, but losing to WVU, so that there isn't a 1 loss team. That said, it's much more likely that TCU or Baylor will beat KSt and finish with one loss.

There also will probably be a 1 loss team coming out of the B1G. Michigan State plays Ohio State, and Nebraska will likely play the winner of that game (both should have 1 loss at that point).

Good chance ND has one loss if it gets by A State.

I think the winner of Bama Auburn will probably have just one loss, not counting MSU.

In the Pac 12, Oregon may lose to Utah and A State may lost to ND or Arizona. Then the remaining one loss team could lose in the championship game. I think the Pac 12 has the greatest chance of having no 1 loss teams given the remaining scenarios.

I think that you're officially friends with Ken now, and that makes you famous.

My favorite was GTBob the huge Tech "fan" who tells all his UGA buddies we should drop the series because we can't compete.

:rolleyes:

In no way is the NC State game a trap game. For our team it is an elimination game in the Coastal race.

This is how CPJ should be preparing them.
