AP Poll prediction

[VeloClone]

I would be happy with this ranking for us tomorrow night. #13 ahead of #14 OU and #15 Georgia. what could be this year if we had shown up against ULL.. lets see how high we can finish this season..

Week 12 winners and losers: What will the first College Football Playoff rankings look like?

Here's how the top 15 should look when the inaugural 2020 rankings are released on Tuesday.

That article has Breece with 1034 yards. I don't blame the author too much since the NCAA has for some reason not updated their stats page since 19 NOV. Breece has 1169 yards on the season for a per game average of 146.1 and 6.5 per carry. Fifteen rushing TDs ain't too shabby either.

I was okay with him sitting a good chunk of the second half for two reasons - get someone else (ahem...Brock) some carries and also no reason to tempt the fates and risk injury in a blowout win.

I don't think Northwestern scares anybody, nor should they. They aren't going to blow anyone out, and they probably aren't going to get blown out. They've been good at their strategy of the Fitzgerald era - give yourself a chance in the fourth quarter and try to make one more play than the other team to pull it out.

give yourself a chance in the fourth quarter...........who does that sound like????I'm waiting.

They are a decent team, but they got hyped due to beating top ten penn state who happens to be 0-5 now.

Agreed. Someone said they're a joke in another thread. I disagreed with that - I compared them to us from a year or two ago. They're certainly overrated, but they're not a joke.

Id put them more around 15-20, where you usually see teams that are ranked because of record, not because of actually beating anyone good.

Would love to play Indiana or Georgia.

Leading the Big12 and ranked 12th?

Had we not lost to Louisiana we would probably be 6-8 right now.

Of course Iowa doesnt play them. Iowa plays 2 teams with any kind of pulse this year, NW and Wisky.

Haven't yet beat a team above .500; lost to the only team that has a winning record.

BYU is not a top 10 team. Neither is Indiana.

And ND might be the worst #2 ranked team ever. Clemson will absolutely destroy them in their next game.

Agree on Indiana and BYU. I don't think ND will get destroyed but Clemson should win with Sunshine back.
Georgia and Miami are also a couple of spots too high.

 

[MeanDean]

Jumping 2 spots to 10

 

[CycloneErik]

Jumping 2 spots to 10

Should be 7 or 8, but I think your prediction is what actually happens.

Espn power rankings has us behind BYU and Coastal. What a joke.

College football Power Rankings for Week 14

The season's end is in sight and the Power Rankings are starting to lock, especially with how the top eight teams are playing. BYU falls while Coastal Carolina and Indiana solidify spots in the top 10. All that and more in Week 14's Power Rankings.

Why do you say that about ND? I haven't really followed them but I was very impressed with them and their youth when I was in FL watching them destroy us. To me I feel better that they are #2 considering how they dismantled us. But again, I haven't watched a full game of theirs this year.

I'm not sure this #2 Notre Dame team is worse than the #2 Notre Dame team that lost to Alabama in the BCS title game.

edit
Whoops just looked it up and ND was #1. My bad.

From what I’ve seen this one is a lot better. Pretty balanced.
That being said Saban is all in on offense now, so it could still be a blowout.
