Between you and Korranus's hilarious moon poll that is way, WAY over-valuing WMU, I appreciate the crazy effort posts when all I tend to offer in return is the post equivalent of meat-fart diarrhea Western Michigan's got nothing on #10 Troy.

Mississippi State is at 0.3%. Undefeated chances - Alabama - 83.3% Western Michigan - 70.1% Clemson - 69.2% Washington - 63.2% Michigan - 54.8%

Another round of RNG moon poll madness, this time much chalkier - pre:Conference Winners - ACC - Clemson (13-0) over Virginia Tech (8-5) - No change. Big 10 - Ohio State (13-0) over Wisconsin (10-3) - Ohio State beats Michigan in a virtual playoff game. Wisconsin uses the relatively clear path to their advantage to win out. Big 12 - West Virginia (11-1) - West Virginia wins out but the loss to 4-loss Oklahoma State leaves them just short in the chase for #4. Pac 12 - Washington (13-0) over Colorado (10-3) - No upset for Colorado this time. SEC - Alabama (13-0) over Florida (7-6) - The SEC East devolves into Operation 4-4 where a five-way tie for second develops at 4-4. Florida at 5-3 stands out just enough to run into Lord Saban. AAC - Temple (10-3) over Houston (9-4) - Navy falls apart and Houston recovers just in time to see Tom Herman take that Texas job. CUSA - Western Kentucky (10-3) over Louisiana Tech (9-4) - AKA, the usual outcome in Conference USA. MAC - Western Michigan (13-0) over Ohio (8-5) - The Akron loss now puts Ohio in front of the boat. MWC - San Diego State (10-3) over Wyoming (9-4) - No change. SunBelt - Appalachian State (10-2) - No change. ************************************* Playoffs - #1 Alabama (13-0) #2 Clemson (13-0) #3 Washington (13-0) #4 Ohio State (12-1) First four out: Michigan (11-1), West Virginia (11-1), Louisville (10-2), Penn State (11-1) ************************************* NY6 Bowls - Orange Virginia Tech Penn State Cotton Western Michigan Louisville Rose Michigan Colorado Sugar West Virginia Texas A&M ************************************* Mere Mortal Bowls - Alamo Oklahoma USC Arizona Utah State Idaho Armed Forces Navy TCU Bahamas UCF Central Michigan Belk Florida State South Carolina Birmingham Houston Kentucky Boca Raton Memphis Louisiana Tech Cactus Kansas State Arizona State Camellia Akron Georgia Southern Citrus Wisconsin Auburn Cure Colorado State* Northwestern+ Foster Farms Stanford Army* Dollar General Miami (OH) Troy Hawaii Western Kentucky Hawaii Heart of Dallas Middle Tennessee Air Force* Holiday Minnesota Washington State Independence Pittsburgh Georgia Las Vegas San Diego State Oregon Liberty Baylor Vanderbilt Miami Beach Tulsa Toledo Military Temple Old Dominion* Music City Iowa Florida New Mexico UTSA New Mexico New Orleans Southern Miss Appalachian State Outback Nebraska LSU Pinstripe Georgia Tech Maryland Poinsettia Wyoming BYU Potato Ohio U Boise State QuickLane Eastern Michigan* UTEP* Russell Ath North Carolina Oklahoma State St. Petersburg South Florida Indiana+ Sun Wake Forest Utah TaxSlayer Miami (FL) Tennessee Texas Texas Arkansas * denotes non-slotted teams + Northwestern and Indiana are 5-7 and in via APR.

Chaos Reigns as Trump Cancels Moon Powl Bowl Seasonpre:ACC - Clemson (11-2) over Virginia Tech (9-4) - No change, despite Clemson losing the Textile Bowl somehow. Big 10 - Wisconsin (11-2) over Penn State (9-4) - Ohio State beats Michigan. Big 12 - Oklahoma State (10-2) - Bedlam becomes the Big 12 Championship game, Okie Lite emerges as the one true champion. Pac 12 - Colorado (10-3) over Washington (11-2) - The RNG continues to forecast an upset as Washington is knocked out of the playoff. Does a 3 loss Colorado really make it? SEC - Alabama (13-0) over Florida (9-4) - No change. AAC - Navy (11-2) over Temple (8-5) - Island hopping over the Central Time Zone pays benefits. CUSA - Western Kentucky (10-3) over Louisiana Tech (9-4) - No change. MAC - Western Michigan (13-0) over Ohio (8-5) - No change. MWC - Boise State (12-1) over San Diego State (11-2) - Boise would get serious run as a potential NY6 at large in a normal year. We aren't having a normal year. Sun Belt - Troy (11-1) - Congrats to Troy, the first Sun Belt team in the top 25. ************************************* Playoffs - #1 Alabama (13-0) #2 Clemson (11-2) #3 Ohio State (11-1) #4 Wisconsin (11-2) That's right, two Big Ten teams. Wisconsin is in as the Big Ten champ, and Ohio State is in as the best one-loss team on the board in a sea of 2+ loss teams. Colorado doesn't make it with three losses, Oklahoma State doesn't make it because Big 12. Shoulda run the table, Tom Herman.

DJExile posted:I would laugh forever at the tears of OSU fans if they not only missed the playoffs but had to play a drat MAC team in the cotton. I think their only route to the playoffs involves Colorado upsetting Washington and the committee deciding whichever Oklahoma wins Bedlam (and thereby the Big 12) isn't worthy for Big 12 reasons. Otherwise, if Michigan wins you basically swap them into the playoffs and Wisconsin into the Rose Bowl, and Penn State gets the Cotton...unless they go with the loser of Bedlam. Or a brand name SEC team. The even funnier outcome is swapping the Orange and Cotton Bowls and Western Michigan plays Michigan Michigan.
