I don't have a problem with Iowa where they are. Undefeated vs a mediocre schedule sure, but I'll give them this....they have that 9th win. Baylor is at 8-0.
I don't really get the commentary about the concern for baylor just yet from the ESPN guys. I think their performance despite a crappy SOS has shown they have impressed the committee to the point that they are fringe playoff team who hasn't played anyone. Baylor just needs some sizzle.
Was shocked OSU didn't move up a bit more, but if the TCU offense continues its high scoring ways, this win will continue to look better and better. Dunno how their resume stacks up with Iowa, but this is a far greater win than what Iowa has.
Maybe I'm just stuck in the moment, but while i think this weekly countdown was exciting last year, this season seems to be laying out way better with all the intersecting games yet to be played. I guess in this scenario, a highly ranked, non conference affiliated Notre Dame is good for an interesting angle. They can either lock out 2 conferences or leave the door wide open for either one.
