NCAA GDT: Week 14: She’s Lost Control Again

[JTBF81]

Both teams combined have 1 win (Penn St vs Illinois early in the year) vs ranked teams. Sad.

Most teams don't have more than a couple. More than a few top teams will have 0 or 1 after this week.

BYU touchdown to go up 2 scores at halftime

Looking more and more like ASU-ISU for the Big 12.

It's 1 win when they played them. Granted some teams move in and out of the rankings but for two teams like that to have 1 combined is sad. Each one's non con schedule was weak too.

Eh, if you beat a ranked team early, before committee rankings come out, and they fall apart, it's not really considered a ranked win I believe when serious discussions are happening.

No but it's better than not having any, period, like Miami. The fact they're still being considered is ludicrous.

Texas A&M needs to get better QB play. The fact they got where they were without a good one is a miracle.

It’s that but Texas defence is also insanely elite.

Sure, neither team have lost to Northern Illinois type of an opponent also. It’s not their fault Big Ten had a terrible year.

It is their fault for scheduling a weak non-conference though. And the fact that in the one chance they had to play someone good, they each lost.

If Quinn didn’t suck, man we would’ve spanked that ass.

That was a smart decision. Keep in mind, the pre-season expectations were that the additions of west coast teams would make BigTen much deeper. As it was the schedule looked daunting, there was no reason to make it even more treacherous.

No one expected USC, UCLA and UW to be complete duds this season.

And I’m sure next season B10 will be significantly deeper. Some of these teams are just going through a rebuilding season.

I agree, Miami has a weaker SOS and less quality wins than any of BYU, Alabama, South Carolina or Ole Miss. Granted they have one less loss than those 3 SEC teams, but with the Swiss cheese they call a defense, they'd have at least 3 losses against a real schedule.

Agreed that defense is really bad.

Well, most non-con schedules are made years in advance right? Probably well before the Pac-12 teams started defecting. And other than Oregon, it's not like the Pac-12 was/is loaded with superpowers. Penn State for years has scheduled soft. I guess they'll get a chance to prove themselves next week.

Interestingly, among ESPN's 13 CFB "experts", 8 have South Carolina with that last spot, 4 have Miami in, and 1 has Bama. Zero with Ole Miss or BYU.

Well, ESPN will def try to get as many SECs in there as they can.

Yeah, a bit surprised so many have South Carolina though. Tuesday's rankings for the 11 and 12 spots will be very interesting.

Texas 8&4 has a nice ring to it
