Boo for not including the very good Wednesday night game this week! UL-Lafayette's the best team App State will face for the rest of their schedule (except South Carolina), game is at Lafayette, and if App State wins they'll have a great shot at prying the G5 NY6 bid away from Cincy or Boise.

Even though I'm not participating in the pick 'em this year, I just wanted to stop by and brag to everyone that I got good seats for the UGA/UF game in Jax this weekend.

My prediction:

Georgia 24
Florida 17

Same here! I'll be up in one of the skyboxes.

Call it by its proper name!

More importantly: it is the Florida-Georgia game, not the other way around.

Or going undefeated in a supposedly power 5 conference even though the AAC has more ranked teams than the ACC at this point lol
(AAC = 4, Cincinnati, Memphis, SMU, and Navy) (ACC = 2, Clemson and Wake Forest)

After the last few years, it's weird that the AAC has four ranked teams -- and UCF isn't one of them!

Give it a little bit of time — UCF's top of "also receiving votes" at the moment and none of the AAC teams have a particularly difficult matchup this weekend (SMU has ECU, Cincy UConn & UCF's at Tulsa, Navy & Memphis are on a bye), so I wouldn't be surprised to see them jump up if, say, Iowa gets blown out by Wisconsin or something.

So UGA lost at home to an unranked, 4-5 South Carolina and is still #6, Utah lost to an unranked, 5-4 USC that's about to fire their coach and is still #8, and Oklahoma lost on the road to #16 K-State and is... 9th?

[Donerail]

Washington State @ California    Why is Wazzu favored by 7.5?

Cal's offense has fallen off a cliff since Bowers got hurt — they put up 83 yards total against Utah. Utah does have a good defense, but still... 83 yards.

Also Auburn barely beat Oregon , and that took Oregon choking hard or Oregon wins that game handily. The idea their is an Anti-SEC bias is laughable. The idea they would wipe the floor with Utah is laughable, and the fact is Oregon when they are "on"(which they havent been all season) would "wipe the Floor" with the SEC this year whose defense this year is completely laughable but the fact is the choked huge in 2 games so they dont deserve to be in the playoffs.

Yeah, it's a shame that SEC teams keep playing weak out-of-conference opponents like Oregon, a team that would, at best, place fourth in the SEC West.

Lmao no , they would be 2nd behind LSU and if they played consistently number 1. The SEC this year is weak , just going off past glory and not much else .

Where was THIS Wisconsin team when they were losing 38-7 last time?
