And for s's and giggles, in late May he projected the final Top 25 playoff rankings. Obviously injuries like te one to Braxton Miller play hell with projections done this far out.

Meh, WVU and Marshall fans barking at each other is like watching competing Mooselimb nutters trying to out-suicide bomb each other.

Well, it would seem that the message from the football powers that be to the SEC is clear - DO NOT ADD A NINTH CONFERENCE GAME!

Keep playing Southeast Puerto Rico Not Quite A State School of Mining instead.

Spoken like someone who hasn't spent any time around Marshall fans.  WVU fans may burn couches but at least we're realistic and fairly knowledgeable about the game.

What's the big deal with a tent stake?  :huh:

I think Dantonio makes a big deal out of things like this to fire his team up.  He still goes on about Mike Hart "Little brother" comment from 2007; even though Michigan has won only one game against MSU since then.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

:hmm:

Mississippi State hasn't played anyone out of conference, but they are undefeated so rather clearly they will be in the top 2.

Auburn beat Kansas State out of conference.
Ole Miss beat Boise State out of conference.
Alabama beat West Virginia out of conference.
Georgia beat Clemson out of conference.

Most of the computer rankings tend to have the SEC teams clustered near the top. Maybe they are just better teams?

The K-State kicker beat K-State.  Auburn was just in the neighborhood.

Also, lets keep things in perspective. Among the big 5 conferences:


Conferences that play a 9 game schedule with a championship

Pac 12

Conferences that play a 8 game schedule with a championship

SEC
ACC
Big 10

Conferences that play a 9 game schedule without a championship

Big 12
