NCAA GDT: Week 9: SMU has me feeling like it's 1982

Notre Dame ****ing sucks. But at least we're finding out before the dip****s put them in the playoffs again. Such a ****ty team, join a conference already.

Couldn't agree more, no one in the ACC would miss them since those teams have to rotate playing them in non-conference matchups.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

When you finally beat a top 10 ranked team:

 

[Cush]

Ducks with a pick 6

 

[John Price]

Lmao Notre Dame

 

[Rossi Rat]

We Are

 

[Cush]

Oregon wins on a last second FG

 

[GKJ]

All Ian Book wanted to do was throw it to Claypool. Not exactly sure what their gameplan was because you gotta be really bad to get boatraced by Harbaugh.

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

We Are

going to lose to Ohio State.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

It wont happen but ND has no business being in top 25

 

[Rossi Rat]

going to lose to Ohio State.

They’ll have to play against a real defense for once. And good luck covering Hamler/Freiermuth.

They don't need luck they have skill unlike Penn St.

Even the refs won't be able to save Penn St in this one.

Chase Young will have sacked your QB before your guys even get a chance to get open. Your team hasn't faced anyone the likes of him yet.

 

[GKJ]

I guess the line was supposed to be telling me something when it came to UCLA/Arizona St. UCLA is 3-2 in the Pac-12

He’s a great player. But Iowa, Michigan, Pitt all have good defenses too.

 

[John Price]

Wisconsin was supposed to have a good d and they got torched by Dobbins

will someone please knock UF out of possible playoff position because I think I'll have a heart attack if they somehow back their way in

I know that voters seem to always go with punishing the recent loss but are there people out there that actually think that Florida or Penn State could come close to beating Oklahoma?

Yeah let's just throw out wins/losses and let the baxterman eye test determine who's best.

They already throw out wins and losses.

Minnesota is an undefeated Big Ten team and is behind multiple 1 loss teams so obviously wins and losses are not the only thing that rankings are based on.

Plus I didn't say they had to be my rankings, I specifically asked if those voters actually would take Florida or Penn St, or Oregon for that matter, over Oklahoma if they played this weekend on a neutral field. I doubt many would take them if they played Oklahoma at home.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

Is there a more predictable event in all of sports than Florida being erroneously ranked in the top 10 at Halloween? Happens every. single. year. Watch these frauds go 11-1 and then lose 56-0 to Oklahoma on New Year's Day.

What's Minnesota's best win, South Dakota St? Their only win over an FBS team with a record better than .500 is over Georgia Southern. Oklahoma's best win is over a now 3 loss Texas which is also their only win against a team with a winning record. Their loss is average at best too. Florida hasn't beat too many good teams either but their win over Auburn is better than Oklahoma and they have a loss to the #1 team only. If they played today on a neutral field I can't say how it wouldn't be a pick em between Florida, Oklahoma, Penn State or Oregon. I don't see how Oklahoma is head and shoulders above the other 3.

I don't think Minnesota should be ranked higher, if anything they probably should be ranked lower just using them to point out that record is not the only thing that matters when people rank teams and that the eye test is already used.

Oklahoma doesn't have any impressive wins because they haven't played anyone this year but that doesn't mean they aren't good. I would say the reason to think they would beat those teams is that they have better players and much, much better coaching than any of the teams mentioned.

How can you say they have much better players? If you go by 4/5 stars the gap between the 4 probably isn't much. This isn't Oklahoma compared to Minnesota, SMU or Appalachian State. Lincoln Riley was just schooled by a coach who's in his first season in FBS, I don't think he's the god that people are making him out to be. Cristobal is the weakest of the 4 but the gap between the other 3 is marginal. When I watch Oklahoma to me it's Lamb making amazing plays and Hurts scrambling. Against those other 3 teams they'll have the athletes to keep Hurts in check and can match Lamb better than the competition so far. To me all 4 teams are good and very comparable. It would be nice to see a Penn State vs Oregon Rose bowl and Florida vs Oklahoma Sugar to have them all go toe to toe.
