dfwabel Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (Well technically they're at 26)Nope, technically they're unranked because the Top 25 is just that, the Top 25. They may be just on the outside but the Top 25 is only the Top 25 and nothing else.EDIT- I realize now that you interpreted my post as me claiming them to still technically be "ranked" and saw an opportunity to be "right". That was not the intention of my statement. I mentioned it merely as an additional and relevant piece of informationYou realize that you're b!tching about being the first Honorable Mention slot on a poll which has ZERO impact on who is selected for the playoff, right?FYI, if those non-starters on last year's two-deep were so good and were performing better than the starters as you claimed, they would've become starters.

I'm not getting too into this because I'm not sure of the upcoming the season myself, but discounting Mississippi State because of the number of returning starters is shortsighted and shows one's lack of knowledge on the subject. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The Big Ten announced their new scheduling model today that will begin in 2016:-Increase to 9 conference games-At least 1 game against an out-of-conference Power 5 team (Notre Dame and BYU will count towards this)-No FCS opponents.Teams will likely be able to keep their schedule that doesn't follow this if there's already a contract.Crap. Well there goes Illinois ever getting into a bowl again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I really hope you're right about the Pac-12. I believe in Rich RodAlthough if my prediction is right he'll probably bolt for Miami or something No, not him. There's only one man that can bring Miami back to the promised land. P.S. Its Lane Kiffin.The No Fun Prediction:ACC: Florida StateBig 10 (I'm still not gonna write B1G): Ohio StateBig 12: OklahomaPac 12: USCSEC: AlabamaAlso Notre Dame gets into the Playoff. My personal little season of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they didn't rank Tech like idiots around here are. 7-6 and a no-name bowl is all that comes with high expectations. I have a feeling the program will bottom out before any big changes may come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm convinced we're about 10-20 years away from seeing Division 1 football broken into 3 subdivisions. Have a feeling the Mid Major FBS programs will eventually get tired of dealing with the Power 5 schools. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzcut Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's meaningless poll season!Also, is this the year we finally get the rotating title like all the other threads? We've been missing some golden opportunities.I second this. In fact, how 'bout this for a new title. Be vewwy quiet, we'we hunting fow pwayoffs. And yes the spelling is intentional.

MJWalker45 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The SEC is supposed to start playing more Power 5 teams since they aren't going to 9 games, unfortunately that doesn't mean Texas A&M and Texas will be playing anytime soon. As much as they yap back and forth I want them to just step out on the field and makeup already. They're like two exes that send pictures of the GF/BF they're dating that week.
