Bama will kick a last second FG to win 21-20 after an epic battle. Next weeks polls will have Bama #2 and LSU #4!

The Ags are no longer Siri's favorite college football team. She's moved on to U of H.....

@TravHaneyESPN: Reasons why rankings mean something: 1) View into CFP's mind. Provides context. Builds file. 2) CFB is built on debate. #embrace it.

I'm sure King will keep us updated on the happenings in Miami.....

if you discount fcs opponents, Baylor and Houston have the two worst opponent win % in all of FCS. 127th and 128th. Baylor opp % 0.279 Houston opp% 0.236 It's obvious that the committee weighed heavily the strength of schedule. The Big 12's should improve this month, but according to the 1st rankings the committee doesn't think very highly of the conference. if you discount fcs opponents, Baylor and Houston have the two worst opponent win % in all of FCS. 127th and 128th.

Notes of Interest: -Last year’s eventual national champion, Ohio State, debuted at No. 16 in the first CFP poll a year ago. -Only one of the eventual top four teams last year (No. 2 Florida State) was in the top four in the inaugural poll, validating the fluidity of these rankings. -One of the “Group of Five” conference teams is guaranteed a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl. No. 20 Boise State represented the little guys admirably last year with a victory over No. 10 Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl. -Memphis, Houston and Toledo remain the only three unbeaten “Group of Five” schools after Temple's loss to Notre Dame Saturday night.

The first Top 4 will be released tonight at 6. Who are your Top 4?

Decent game tonight at 7 on ESPN2 Northern Illinois at #20 Toledo Something to watch after the selection show. Should be a good game for a Tuesday

Polls don't mean squat and never have in basketball. On the other hand, football polls have been deciding who wins national titles for 100 years. I'm confused

None of know what went on with the negotiations, but there are Rumors out there that Patterson could have gotten the school in a legal mess by tampering with UA while under contract with Nike. Also UA's deal supposedly involved stock options based on speculation while Nike had the cash.

@kbohls I'm told Charlie Strong "cussed out" his Texas staff after Iowa State loss, told them staff "had been out coached." Core Values?
