I wish we had more people like Danny. Tired of the SEC and brand bias!

[BOOGiNS]

So nice that Oregon is unanimously the best team in the country. Nobody is talking shit.

[txcanesbeliever]

I think we need to do away with preseason rankings. It is keeping the big name brands up even when they lose and keeping other teams down that start either in the 20s or worse.

[williamwinner]

Kannell is absolutely right... Everyone cares about strength of schedule when they don't like the team but when they like the team, SoS doesn't matter. Miami hasn't played anyone and has barely won. Indiana has crushed teams. They held MSU to -36 rushing yards. Nebraska has given up 5 total rushing TDs. All were given up to Indiana.

[ericroberts]

He’s saying Indiana hasn’t played anyone then turns around says a team shouldn’t be in front of to Texas. Who has Texas played?

[Brownmichael]

Let’s go Oregon! 12-0 incoming heading to the Big10 Championship game

[txcanesbeliever]

We shouldn't have any ranking until at least week 6 in my opinion. By then you get a sense on who should be ranked higher or lower

[alexblake]

I love this projection. I hope it plays out this way. Can't wait to watch the playoffs!

[ryannelson]

These guys don't know anything more than we do. Oregon beats Boise State and they drop in the rankings. Now Boise is a top 12 team?

[stnumbers]

I wanna see every matchup on Danny’s list

[kelsocampbell]

Josh Pate is the only guy here with any sense...really.

[howardwoods]

As a duck fan i believe Indiana is the real deal and think they could possibly win it all. If Oregon stays healthy they can to. Alas we lost our number 1 reciever and a offensive linemen. Also bedford our highest rated linemen been out all year. So we shall see. I have a sneek8ng suspicion Indiana beats Ohio state

[suites.]

Indiana has beaten the same teams as Ohio State has by a much larger margin.

[kelsocampbell]

Josh Pate's right on! Tennessee #6...seems rather accurate Josh!

[sebastienc.]

I don't know why Indiana gets so much hate, especially since they play Michigan and Ohio State. Let them get the respect they deserve for being 9-0 and then well see if they end 12-0 or 11-1. I think an 11 win Indiana team definitely deserves a playoff birth even if that loss is to Purdue, if that loss game after a win against OSU and UM.

[Pledgeman]

Finally, more common sense. Tired of “big name SEC teams’ like Bama on some rankings getting in the top 12 with two loses is just wrong. Bama lost early to a non ranked team! How can you justify that? Anyway, I had Boise State and SMU at 11 and 12. You guys are right on par.

[kev]

0:52 well they aren’t, and OSU is an established contender year in year out every year people KNOW OSU will be good, IU is good for the second time this century. And No Ohio State would not be #1 this late into the season with 0 wins against team ranked in the top 40. Take 2015 from example. They have no resume

[kevinnobody]

You're out of your minds.
Miami, Indiana, BYU ahead of Ohio State?

[garyroenicke]

Glad to see someone like Josh put 3 SEC teams in the field of 12. How can Kanal and the other guy put only 2 teams from the Best Conference in the Country. You guys have 4 Big 10 teams, WHAT!!!

[rickeychavarria]

Indiana looks good but they havnt been battle tested at all . Ohio state played 2 top 5 teams on the road bro and beat one and lost the other by one point only because of mistakes and suspect penalties in the game winning drive . Ohio state and Oregon are #1 and #2 all day
