I believe for the first time since going into the 2003 Orange Bowl.

Looking forward to Tuesday night. And Friday.

Big Ten has 3 in the top 10 and 5 in the top 17. SEC has 2 teams in that same stretch.

 

[WORTHYWISH]

We should be #3 in the CFP, as well.

Plus Iowa has as many wins vs top 25 as Alabama does with 1.

 

[MauiHawk]

There's a decent shot Pitt can sneak back into the top 25 next week with a win over Miami... Wisconsin may have an outside shot as well.

Big Ten has 3 in the top 10 and 5 in the top 17. SEC has 2 teams in that same stretch.

and inexplicably, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Georgia, and a couple others will be in the preseason rankings. But i guess beating a mediocre South Carolina or Georgia in week 12 doesn't do much for your strength of schedule as beating a ranked and overrated South Carolina or Georgia in week 3

BT will be proven as best conference in the country this year after the bowls are played.

Remind me why Northwestern is 4 spots below Stanford?

I don't think Michigan can jump us by beating OSU as long as we beat Nebraska.

Remind me why Northwestern is 4 spots below Stanford?a.

Because Stanford's sensitive body clocks don't work before noon.

Remind me why Northwestern is 4 spots below Stanford?

Cause they didn't get blasted by a horrible Iowa team.
