VERY RANDOM THOUGHTS PART 5...
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2015 10:09 pm
So, I am sitting in the doctor's office with my wife this morning (just procedure, nothing major). The edge of a Sports Illustrated magazine catches my eye. It is the college football preview edition. It has the final 4 listed on the front: Ohio State, Auburn, TCU, and Notre Dame. I thought, "Man, were they way off about Auburn". So, that got me to thinking: What if the committee (or at least some it) is way off come selection time?
I mean this is one season you have to take so many things into account. I mean when a team beats Oklahoma now, how will that be viewed? Oklahoma gets beaten by Texas. A Texas team that was beaten by a combined score of 88-10 by Notre Dame and TCU. Then, Texas beats Oklahoma.
Look at Ole Miss. They were on a tear. Beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa, getting drilled by Florida, and then losing to... Memphis? What? No way an SEC team that strong loses to a team like Memphis. And Ole Miss still has some tough games remaining.
Some media heads are talking about the Big 12 not making it last season. I am thinking the ACC might not make it this year. Just a feeling.
On a final note, I am not so sure about being one of the committee members this upcoming December. Teams that lost early are picking up the pieces and winning. Teams that started strong are falling off here and there.
