I hadn't heard about Manning. Is that expected? Sounds like he knew going to UT this year that he'd sit behind Ewers. Has something changed (Ewers coming back or something like that)?Former FSU rb Treshaun Ward is in the portal along with Tyler Van Dyke. Sounds like Arch Manning will be soon and I wouldn't be surprised to see former 5-star qb, AJ Duffy soon.
Florida State covered.Why are Texas and Alabama ranked behind Oregon and Ohio State ?
Not sure what the committee is doing, but maybe it looks like they’re trying to cover their asses if they want to put Georgia if they lose the SECCG ? How could Alabama possibly jump from #8 to #1 if they win ? Or does that just make it easier to leave out an SEC team if Alabama wins.
Maybe they’re punishing Alabama for a bad performance on Saturday ? But why isn’t Washington punished more for multiple stinkers against teams that aren’t even their main rivals ? And why isn’t FSU punished for their performance against Florida ?
You could argue Ohio St should be behind UT and Alabama. But why would they be ahead of Oregon?Why are Texas and Alabama ranked behind Oregon and Ohio State ?

And why should they? Texas beating 9-3 OSU should jump Oregon beating 12-0 Washington? What fantasy world are we living in?Basically no way Texas jumps Oregon to get in the playoff if Oregon wins.
I mean FSU covered the spread against their rival It’s not like it took a prayer throw to beat them. I mean as bad as FL is, they didn’t get smashed last week by New Mexico St. UGA is gonna smash whomever sits in that 4 spot and we will get 2 best teams unlike last year.Why are Texas and Alabama ranked behind Oregon and Ohio State ?

Oregon lost a close one @ Washington. They absolutely deserve a bid if they avenge that loss.
So the Pac12 gets one spot. Michigan gets a spot after they beat Iowa. FSU (ugh) likely gets one with a win. That last spot gets hairy if Bama beats UGA.
Have to think the SEC will do all it can to make sure UGA wins. I say that thinking UGA is the better team anyway.
Jeremiah Masoli and no ideaToday's college football Trivia question is a two parter, and it harkens back to the days when Grad transfers could only have immediate eligibility if they were enrolling in a grad program that their current school did not have.
What was the name of the Oregon QB who was kicked off the team which led to him transferring to Ole Miss, and what was the grad program he enrolled in?

They covered a 6.5 point spread against a non-bowl eligible team playing a freshman at quarterback, and trailed over half of the game.I mean FSU covered the spread against their rival It’s not like it took a prayer throw to beat them.

They were also playing their backup QB for the first time on the road in a rivalry game and still won.They covered a 6.5 point spread against a non-bowl eligible team playing a freshman at quarterback, and trailed over half of the game.
