Clones won and a couple ranked teams lost so we should move up to like 24th or something.

Someone has to trip Baylor up eventually right? That loss is going to be the game that keeps ISU out of the championship game. I can feel it.

A Baylor-Iowa State-Texas three way tie for second is on the table.

if this happens, and all three of these teams each have a loss to OU and one of the other two, it could end up being decided by point differential (as in, the team with the worst point differential in conference gets dropped and the winner of the h2h for the two remaining goes to the CCG)

that would be hilarious

Yeah, and there could be some perverse incentive to win by artificially narrow margin in the last game played between the three, depending on how it shakes out.

Edit: let's assume Baylor, Iowa State, and Texas all go 7-2 in conference, with a loss against OU and 1-1 against each other.

9/28 - Baylor beats Iowa State by 2 (already happened)

11/15 - Iowa State beats Texas by 1

11/23 Scenario 1 - Texas beats Baylor by 1 (point margins in the three games - Texas 0, Iowa State -1, Baylor +1)
Iowa State is eliminated by point margin, Texas wins head-to-head tiebreak vs Baylor

11/23 Scenario 2 - Texas beats Baylor by 10 - (point margins in the three games - Texas +9, Iowa State -1, Baylor -8)
Baylor is eliminated with the worst point margin, Texas loses head-to-head tiebreak vs Iowa State

Why is UConn going independent? I get that they are bad, but what does leaving the conference solve?

And who does the AAU add? App State would be a good fit.

Honestly, take away Clemson, and the AAU is probably on par with the ACC.

UConn is leaving the AAC because the basketball teams want to go home to the Big East. This leaves the football team without a home, but nobody cares.

I have no idea what they and UMass are aiming for by lingering in FBS and having to travel the four corners to play a 12 game season. Unless they think a MAC invite is in the cards, it seems like they'd be much happier back in FCS.

UConn might just be looking for a pretext to kill football entirely, which isn't be the worst idea.

Seems like this would be the perfect time to do it, rather than letting them hang around for a couple of years and maybe accidentally stumble into a bowl.

i fail to see how uconn could accidentally stumble into a bowl with randy edsall leading the show

Stranger things have happened, like stumbling into a BCS bowl with Randy Edsall leading the show

From Twitter: Every single team that has ever played FBS level football and their winning percentage at it. It's a long image

Is it sorted by winning %? Want to see if I can just scroll to the middle and find Rutgers

If you're gonna have a game involving a fake army, hold it at the site of a fake war... Baghdad or bust.

The Qatar thing is about gaining exposure for A&M's campus there.
