More carnage nationally on Saturday??

Agree with mostly everything you said but parity in college football is at an all time high.

Anybody can beat anybody any given game.

Who had UCLA beating Penn St?

Last year Vandy beat Bama and NOBODY saw that coming. Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois!!! Lol

A team with enough talent to make the natty game lost to Northern Illinois.

There aren't really any locks anymore and nothing really shocks me.

I think LSU beats Texas A&M at home and don't be shocked if UCLA makes that a game against Indiana. I've seen crazier upsets lol

Leonard- 0tds/2ints-1 rushing

I didn’t watch the game but anyone that is complaining about dropping a 3 pointer to UL who is 6-1. Needs to realize NIll ended up 8-5. UL would struggle to get to 8-5 this year in a much tougher conference.

As said, anyone can drop a game to any team if they just forget to prepare and show up ready to play. This week will speak volumes to Mario’s program building.

I’m still shocked Penn St. went from #2, they could win it all to firing Franklin in a month. Crazy.

Big for Ole Miss to lose. Oklahoma has a brutal schedule down the stretch and Ole Miss doesn't play another ranked team. Four of their six wins are 1 score games. Miami at 11-1 stays ahead of Ole Miss with 2 losses. We all need to root for Oklahoma.

don't wanna be that guy, but Miami at 10-2 *should* have just as good a shout as a 2-loss Mississippi team.

my 2 cents
 
We want 2 SEC teams to be high and above all else. We want A and M to be undefeated with either bama or gerogia to win the rest. 2 loss minimum for the rest. Don’t want to have to fight so many teams.

The SEC is getting 4 and the B1G is getting 3. Minimum. I’d be shocked if it’s any other way.

We know the Big 12, ACC, and and G5 get one.

That’s 10. Then you’ve got ND, a 2nd ACC team, a 4th B1G team, a 2nd Big 12 team and god forbid a 5th SEC team all fighting for 2 spots.

It’s why I keep saying we have zero margin for error. 11-1 and we’re in. No matter what else happens. 10-2 and we’re almost definitely out. Go win 6 in a row. First one is Saturday night. Go get it, stay healthy, and let’s get to Dallas.

I said this in a thread early this week but the more I look at this schedule, the more I see a really crazy weekend just like last weekend, and I'm here for it.

It seems like a lot of us fall into this rut when we lose like we're the only ones who can and will lose a game. Just last week, NINE ranked teams lost. 9 of the 25.

And look at this for this week. Let's just go chronologically:

UCLA @ 2 Indiana Noon - Indiana isn't losing, as cool as the UCLA story has been the last 2 weeks. No carnage here.

Syracuse @ 7 GT Noon -- As much as we'd love it for #ACCChaos, I seriously doubt Cuse goes to Atlanta and wins, so likely nothing here.

Ole Miss 8 @ 13 Oklahoma Noon -- Now the fun starts. Both teams are 6-1. This *might* be a de facto elimination game. You're not out in the SEC with 2 L's, but it's uphill for sure.

UVA 16 @ UNC Noon -- See above with GT. Spread is only 10.5, and UVA did struggle with an AWFUL Wazzou team last week, but UNC is god awful.

18 USF @ Memphis Noon -- Really important game for USF, and us. They are -5.5 on the road at Memphis, which is surprising, even though Memphis lost last week.

4 Alabama @ USCe 3:30 -- Bama is -12.5. They've beaten 4 ranked teams in a row. They're on the road. Maybe a little letdown spot?

15 Mizzou @ 10 Vandy 3:30 -- Vandy is -2.5 Much like the Ole Miss/OU game above, loser has 2 losses, and has a very long road. Winner is still very primed for a CFP spot.

11 BYU @ Iowa State 3:30 -- BYU is one of the unbeatens left, and are a 3 point dog, on the road in Ames. Very possible carnage here, obviously, with Vegas having ISU -3.

23 Illinois @ Washington 3:30 -- Another ranked team, on the road, as a dog. Washington is -4.5 Illinois has very little chance but they're out of the CFP with a loss.

Oklahoma State @ 14 Texas Tech 4:00 -- Next

Baylor @ 21 Cincinnati 4:00 -- Cincy is 6-1 and very much alive in the Big 12/CFP race. They're only -4.5 this week.

22 Texas @ Mississippi State 4:15 -- Texas is eliminated from everything with a loss, they are only -7 on the road

Wisconsin @ 6 Oregon 7:00 -- Oregon might win by 80

3 Texas A&M @ LSU 7:30 -- A&M is FAVORED in Death Valley by 2.5. Insane. Is Brian Kelly coaching for his job? A&M still undefeated

BC @ 19 Louisville 7:30 -- BC is atrocious, line is 25.5

25 Michigan @ Michigan State 7:30 -- Wolverines -14.5, technically still alive in the Big 10.

17 Tennessee @ Kentucky 7:45 -- Tennessee has to go on the road again after losing in Tuscaloosa last week, UK lost in a heartbreaker against Texas. Tennessee -9 (seems high)

Houston @ 24 Arizona State 8:00 -- ASU vaulted themselves back into the conversation with the upset of TTU, but no Tyson this week for them. Only -7 at home, Houston is 6-1.

So let's total it all up. All in all, there are 22 ranked teams playing:

5 are outright dogs (Ole Miss, Mizzou, BYU, Illinois, LSU)
8 are single-digit favorites (Oklahoma, USF, Vandy, Cincinnati, Texas, A&M, Tennessee, Arizona State)

Could we see close to 10 ranked teams lose again this weekend??

Odds are very likely that the season will end with less than 5 undefeated teams and probably more like under 3 undefeated teams. Natty champ had two losses last year.

One team went undefeated in the regular season last year.

One.
