I do find it slightly irritating that Ohio State is #3 7 spots ahead of OU. Regardless of who I think is actually better right now.

The powers that be are likely falling in love with the idea of having Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Alabama for their playoffs.

6-6 always sucks - always.

In other words kirk dipstreit is gratifying himself over it.

If we beat West Virginia I bet we jump to #9 and Gameday comes to Ames for the Oklahoma State game.

Okie State needs to beat OU though. Otherwise TCU/OU will objectively be a better match up.

I wouldn't place money on this at all. Other games being played that weekend:

#24 MSU vs #3 OSU (and you know Derpstreit is lobbying for this)
#1 Alabama vs #21 MissSt
#2 Georgia vs #16 Auburn
#10 TCU vs #8 OU

But the game that they're clearly going to cover:
#5 Notre Dame vs #9 Miami (Catholics vs Convicts)

#5 Notre Dame vs #9 Miami (Catholics vs Convicts)

which is which?

In defense, if we win as does Okie St, you have a possibility of 2 top 10 teams playing. How do you not come to Ames especially with the story we have going?

I'm sure Alabama is playing Vanderbilt or someone like that, so ESPN will have to be fair to Alabama and give them some coverage. They don't get enough as is.

Not to mention Gameday is going to Bedlam this weekend. Chances of covering Okie State two weeks in a row aren't great.

That's very true

Because Catholics vs Convicts. Just like they would rather do a Penn St game in back-to-back weeks in Columbus than come to Ames and cover the story that we have going. That's why.

It's great what is happening in Ames right now. ISU deserves the ranking and the kudos. Pollard might just want to hand over the checkbook to Campbell right now and end any speculation.

It's amazing how much national bias there is towards the Little 10. PSU and OSU are very good. MSU and Mich are the next level down. Wisky (2017 fake ID of college football) really can't be quantified right now due to the Hoks schedule of 2 years ago. Yet everyone at ESPN sees the conference as world beaters. We will find out how good Bucky is (like the 2015 Hoks) come Little 10 title game and subsequent bowl. We all know how well that worked out for the TOE. The rest of the Little 10 is mediorce to bad, and I'm being generous. The Little 10 West is embarassing.

How do we know PSU and tOSU are good? Again, UW, PSU, tOSU, UM and MSU have exactly 1 win over teams currently ranked, which was tOSU over PSU. MSU was housed by ND and tOSU was handled pretty easily by OU. I'm not saying these teams are bad, we just have nothing that proves they are good. Piss pounding Purdue and Rutgers doesn't mean much to me. People need to stop trying to apply precedent to what the CFP committee does. Their precedent is to be wildly inconsistent to get the tOSUs of he world into the playoff over the TCUs.

I was getting ready to have expectations like this for next year. Didn't really expect it this year. But it is awesome.
