If state loses how do they fall behind Bama or oregon? They would have the best loss and still the most quality wins.

If Baylor wins out, they will jump TCU but at this moment TCU deserves to be ahead of Baylor.

Can't say the same at the end of the season though.

I hate to say it, and it may not be fair.

But Sate is not Bama or Oregon. They are not a big draw.
They do not have the name, and if they are even with Bama, OSU, Oregon, FSU, they are behind.

doesn't mean its right or accurate , but it is what it is.

Oregon is getting a lot of credit for losing when the line was injured and a walk on and true frosh started at tackle. We had 4 offensive tackles out for the AZ game.

Right or wrong we are getting the benefit of the doubt. I personally think we'd paste AZ with Fisher and Andre Y back but I doubt AZ pull through for the championship game.

Byproduct of "if you're going to lose, lose early". They can't put Team A above Team B that high in the rankings if they just lost to Team B.

But, as the season goes on, Team A can climb above Team B. Which is why you need to lose early so you have a chance to come back. If you lose late, you're fricked- no games left to win, or for higher ranked teams to lose and drop.
