So, we had a tougher schedule early

5 teams we beat are still in Sagarin top 30. And FSU is #31. Louisville #34. BC #36. SCU #37.
If we win out, that will be (including Miami) 6 top 30 and 10 top 40 Sagarin teams.

Fake news reporter. Will not let the FACTS get in the way of a good story.

Exactly. The story talks about the last three weeks of the schedule and ignores the first 10 weeks.

Exactly. That is what the committee said last week. Tigers have wins over 6 teams in the top 40 (probably 7 now after Saturday) and no other team even comes close to that stat.

If Auburn does beat UGA and Bama...then Bama won't be playing UGA.

So it's our fault Fl State went from #2 to a bottom feeder and USUC from the mighty SEC has stunk it up the last three years? Three to four years ago they may have been the top two teams on our schedule.

If Miami beats Notre Dame I wonder if his opinion changes.

Is he trying to downplay Clemson?

Sure seems like it. But who cares? He doesn’t have a say in the rankings

I think every sports writer knows you can get a lot of clicks by trolling us.

Not much analysis is this proclamation. Just common sense looking at remaining matchups. Still have to win out, just like last week.

Not sure what y'all are upset about. He's not comparing

full season resumes and saying ours is the weakest, he's just saying we have the easiest path left of of the contenders. We had a front loaded schedule, particularly with FSU being so far down this year.
Personally i think he's wrong because, while our remaining schedule may be the easiest, we can't lose any games. Alabama, UGA, and maaaaaybe Miami can all afford to lose a game (if it's the right game), and still get in if they win their conference at 12-1. Wisconsin probably cannot afford to lose any games. IMO that makes their paths easier even if their remaining schedules are more difficult than ours.
