Just a quick update on the conference comparason. Overall the B!G and B12 have done the best. I added a P7 because the MWC and the AAC are very competitive with the P5 and based on what I see they should be given more access to the MCFP based on these statistics alone
OOC vP5 vP7 vG5 vFCS
BIG (31-8) (4-5) (11-7) (23-3) (4-0) B12 (24-6) (6-4) (8-5) (9-2) (9-0)
SEC (31-12) (5-5) (8-10) (17-7) (10-0)
P12 (24-12) (5-3) (10-9) (11-9) (8-0)
ACC (31-12) (3-6) (7-8) (16-6) (11-1)
AAC (30-12) (6-12) (9-12) (16-1) (10-1)
MWC (28-16) (8-7) (8-10) (6-7) (12-0)
With the Buckeyes off this weekend I was able to watch more football than most weekends. I did watch most of the UGA and I was not impreseed in the least. How they selected Fromm over Fields is beyond me but I am thankful for that decsion. The broadcasters kept talking about how he was possibly one of the best QB's in the country but I have no idea how they were making that assessment. UGA looked very mediorce and Fromm did not stand out in any way shape or form.
LSU did look pretty darn good and there offense will be hard to stop. The showdown against BAMA should be a good one. Alabama sees to always start sluggish but always tend to handle business.
Wisconsin this far looks amazingly good with the exception of the Northwestern game. I am still not convinced that the passing game can carry them but they seems to be getting better and their defense has been very staunch.
Minnesota just put it to Nebraska. It has been a team that had some tough early wins and they seem to be finding themselves. They get easy crossover games so the Wiscy game will be huge.
I fully expect Clemson and Oklahoma to run the table. If Clemson gets back to playing football as they have in the MCFP era they will be fine. Oklahoma handled Texas with relative ease regardless of the outcome. In both of UT losses they seemed like they were just outmanned and trying to keep it competitive which they did. But in the games against LSU and OU, it was not a doubt in my mind who would win.
Top 6 tOSU - Won every game convincingly at appears to be the most complete team Bama - Won every but not as dominating as tOSU LSU - Burrow seems like the real deal OU - Again app pretty much dominating performances. They let UT stay in the game but eventually put them aywa Wisc - The only chink in the armor was a sloppy win at Norhwestern

Fans from LSU might be saying the same thing about Ohio State and Joe Burrow although he was beat out by a guy who was a Heisman finalist and broke about every BIG QB record last year. Had Burrow stayed I doubt Ohio State would have Fields.
Wisconsin this far looks amazingly good with the exception of the Northwestern game. I am still not convinced that the passing game can carry them but they seems to be getting better and their defense has been very staunch. I don't have time to look it up but I wonder when the last time a team shut out 4 of their first 6 opponents - and truly Michigan was pretty close to a shutout. They've played 5 straight games at home so now they have to go on the road. Illinois won't be much of a test. It all comes down to October 26 in Columbus but whoever loses will probably get a shot at revenge in the BIG championship game.
Minnesota just put it to Nebraska. It has been a team that had some tough early wins and they seem to be finding themselves. They get easy crossover games so the Wiscy game will be huge. Final regular season game for both - Wisconsin at Minnesota.

I remember watching the spring game Burrows vs Haskins and thought that Burrows was the better QB just because he seemed a bit more consistent and accurate. He just seemed to have a better vision of the field and got the passes off a bit quicker. There was a pretty amazing out route pass that Haskins made that kept the competition close. If I recall, I don't think a decision was made on who would start which lead to the Burrow transfer. The chances for me to root for any SEC team is slim to non, but I find it very very hard to root against Burrows.

You might want to run these numbers by AJ. He's convinced the B1G gets screwed.... EVERY time.

Through the first 7 weeks of this season, it really seems we've had VERY FEW games between top teams. I Guess, it's always so... just seems to be worst this year.

Not Every time. Almost every time On the otherhand, the SEC has gotten the benefit of the doubt EVERY time.

Not Every time. Almost every time On the otherhand, the SEC has gotten the benefit of the doubt EVERY time. So... in 5 years of this system, the # of 1 loss teams that have been selected for the CFP by conference is:
SEC - 4 B1G - 3 ACC - 3 B12 - 2 P12 - 2
and, your beef is?
The P12 and ACC have also gotten the mulligan, EVERY TIME!
Maybe, the B1G is paying the price of having their last two Mulligan recipients score exactly ZERO combined points?
It's a small sample size to date. Sorry, I don't see any gross bias.
