Bigger wins? Tougher schedule? I have no idea how Clemson wouldn't get in, but OSU would as they seem pretty comparable. (Although, OSU brings in MUCH bigger ratings, but that isn't supposed to matter.)
OSU will drop their next game and still have a tough remaining schedule. I'm strongly thinking NIT for us by season's end without a miraculous B1G tourney run.

I was wrong, OSU plays Illinois next, so maybe four in a row?
Ole Miss forced to vacate wins. Bama still above the law.

I'm glad he's taking it seriously....athletic director Ross Bjork said Monday night.
"It's the last part of this process," Bjork said at a town hall meeting in Cleveland, Miss. "In a way, it's just a piece of paper, because you saw those games."

I'm sure the NCAA loved that response as well.

Louisville up 23 on Duke with 10 minutes left, and loses by 2.

Buckeyes recruiting class might be getting larger by two.
A guard at Virginia graduated and wants to transfer. Also, Rutger's top O lineman and honorable all B1G center is deciding between OSU and OU. OSU lost four O line starters, so clearly they have openings for guys with experience to come in and start right away.

Illinois is oddly 4-1 in their past 5 with wins over #13 Maryland, #9 MSU, Nebraska, and your nemesis Rutgers.

This is how the system is rigged in favor of the SEC:
5 SEC teams in the top ten? I guess bowl games really don't matter.
How is OU ranked below LSU and Georgia?
OSU is completely missing despite not being out of the top 10 in actual polls since 2004.
The biggest laugh is Michigan at #5. Pretty sure they play Army early on, and you shouldn't be shocked if Army beats them.

4 of those 5 SEC teams won a bowl game. Clemson/Bama seems reasonable.
The biggest surprise to me is seeing Michigan at #5.
Here's ESPN's defense of those #s
OSU and MSU being tied seems absurd.

You'll love that, Leisher.One problem the polls -- and humans in general -- have is that they fail to divorce themselves from win-loss records. That's a problem when judging conferences, since the majority of every team's games are against other teams in its conference. That leads to guaranteed losses and the appearance that conferences are more similar than they actually are. Because FPI is judging teams' performances with their opponents' strength in mind, it has no problem believing that the SEC is that much better than everyone else.
OSU and MSU being tied seems absurd.

The most notable example of this is Ohio State's Justin Fields. While Fields is a major acquisition who has been approved to play in 2019, FPI does not award the Buckeyes extra credit for securing the transfer QB because he didn't earn significant playing time at Georgia. Instead, the Buckeyes are treated as if they will have to play a completely green QB this season, which, technically, is true -- he's just a high-profile one.

Let me correct ESPN's defense:
"We paid a billion fucking dollars for the rights to air SEC games. We're also losing money and subscribers like crazy. Look at how we've got Steven A. Smith commenting on every sport like anyone could possibly be an expert on all of them. We have to pretend the SEC is the best in the nation to get you to watch their games on our channel or we lose our asses!"
