College Football 2013 Season

[Ben Kenobi]

You spoke too soon. Baylor to...#4?

Baylor just squashed Oklahoma. Baylor to 2.

[Guynemer]

Sorry, Boris.

[Boris Godunov]

Sorry, Boris.

Thanks. Honestly, before the season started I had thought I'd be happy if the Ducks went 10-2. When you lose the defensive talent they did and have a first year HC, it's unrealistic to expect better performance in most cases. This is a back-to-reality moment for sure.

11-1 and another Fiesta Bowl trip ain't bad under the circumstances.

[SlowwHand]

Baylor will have to jump over Florida State and Ohio State. Hope for losses.

[Boris Godunov]

I'm all aboard the FSU train as the Bama-killer. I don't think the Tide will lose a regular-season game.

[Ben Kenobi]

Stranger things have happened.

[Guynemer]

I want Al Borges brought before me. I want him staked to the ground at his hands and feet. I want an array of dull cutlery. I will start with slowly sawing hunks of flesh with this dull cutlery. I will then spread honey on some of the wounds, and release biting ants. On other wounds, I will apply a mixture of lemon juice and Tabasco. I will then smash his digits to a pulp with a hammer. His eyes shall be held open by a device much like the one from A Clockwork Orange. I shall apply liberal doses of urine and gasoline to his eyes. I shall then begin the vivisection, and after enough of his omentum has been removed from his ponderous gut, I shall place a starving ferret onto his exposed organs.

I shall take no pleasure in this. This is all just a warning to Brady Hoke.

[Ben Kenobi]

Assuming 'Bama wins, LSU will drop.

Three new folks in the top 25. Cincinnati has finally crept up. Minnesota probably for the first time ever, and the surprise team, Duke at 25. Arizona State looks like crap and will stay in the 'near' group. Oregon falls all the way to 20 after their loss to the Trees. Houston stays at 16 after losing to UCF in a squeaker.

Alabama
Baylor
Florida State

Can I get a copy of the tape to send to John Harbaugh?

Bleacher Report bowl projections.

Sugar Bowl - Oregon vs. Texas A&M
Fiesta Bowl - Baylor vs. Fresno State

Pretty reasonable, although the Fiesta Bowl would probably end up being a laugher.

Phil Steele's take:

http://www.philsteele.com/bowls/13-14/bowlprojections.html

NCG: Alabama v. FSU
Rose Bowl: Stanford v. Ohio St.
Orange Bowl: Oregon v. Wisconsin
Sugar Bowl: Auburn v. UCF
Fiesta Bowl: Baylor v. Fresno St.

He has Texas A&M v. Texas in the Cotton Bowl, which I'm sure would please fans of that rivalry... and no one else.

[Boris Godunov]

So the top ten as of now:

1. Alabama
2. FSU
3. Baylor

4. Ohio State
5. Stanford
6. Oregon (given Mariota's injury, quite iffy on them being this high...)
7. Auburn

8. Clemson
9. Missouri
10. COULD BE ANY OF: TAMU, UCLA, Oklahoma St, NIU, or Louisville.

The rest is a big ol' mess.

[Guynemer]

I think Sparty is probably #10, but I'd probably have my list the same as yours otherwise.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah, Sparty should be up there at 10.

NCG: Alabama v. FSU
Rose Bowl: Stanford v. Ohio St.
Orange Bowl: Oregon v. Wisconsin
Sugar Bowl: Auburn v. UCF
Fiesta Bowl: Baylor v. Fresno St.

I don't get this. Why is Baylor getting relegated to the crap bowl? They win out they are going to the NCG.
