  Based on current CFP rankings and future playoff model we would match up first round with LSU and Jayden Daniels. No doubt in my mind we would win that game. Daniels 0-2 against us has talked openly about hating to play us. If only…

  Massey’s algorithm indicates a probable 28-27 win for LSU.

    Does Massey consider the dead terror Jayden has when facing the Ute D in the algorithm?

      I am fairly certain that there is no terror factor in the algorithm. 😉

      Counterpoint: It doesn’t consider the LSU monster that Harold Perkins is either.

  In the “Anger Index” section of this article, it states that to have a good resume, three components are necessary:
  
  1) a win over a great team (top 10%)
  
  2) three or more wins over good teams (top 1/3)
  
  3) at least two true road wins, to show you can compete in unfriendly confines
  
  The article then proceeds to mention nine teams that meet this criteria, with no mention of the Utes. Is it an oversight? I think we meet the criteria:
  
  1) beat USC (#11 composite ranking)
  
  2) beat USC, OSU (#23 composite), and WSU (#36 composite)
  
  3) beat WSU and ASU on the road
  
  What am I missing? Obviously, if we win this week, we meet the criteria. So let’s just do that.

    Probably can’t count USC as a win over a great team AND a win over a good team.

    They probably don’t count ASU as a true road win for whatever reason
