Where am I wrong here?
Ok, we were #8 last week. Since Michigan State and Oregon both lost and both have 2 losses, shouldn’t we move up to #6 since we won 55-0?
Then….. next week two teams in front of us (Ohio State and Michigan) play and the loser will have 2 losses. Thus shouldn’t we move up to #5 as long as we beat Stanford?
Then two more teams in front of us (Georgia and Alabama) will play in two weeksDecember 4th in the SEC Championship Game. Assuming Georgia wins, it will give Alabama it’s 2nd loss and thus we should move into the #4 slot.
Our exposure is Alabama bearing Georgia, in which case the final 4 would be 1. Ohio State, (assuming they beat Michigan), 2. Alabama, 3. Georgia and 4. Cincinnati…
If Alabama loses, we would be ranked #4 behind Georgia, Ohio State and Cincinnati. Since Bama would have 2 losses they are logically out.
Even if Michigan upsets Ohio State next week and if they win the Big 10 Championship game, it would mean Ohio State would have 2 losses and should fall behind ND.
The other exposure is Oklahoma State… if they beat Oklahoma next week and then beat them again in the Big 12 Championship Game (I think this is unlikely that they would win twice) we might have a problem with Oklahoma State jumping us. A split gives both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State 2 losses.
