If we keep winning?

If we win MNC.

October 19th after beating #2 Alabama on the road...

not until after the championship......the final game......we won't likely be ranked #1 unless we win it all

After we beat both Alabama and Auburn on the road.

Here is the question regardless of FSU, Oregon, OU, does the SECW leader get the #1 spot?

The numbers suggest that is the true #1 in the nation. We just don't have a front runner. But do voters feel the same?

If Auburn keeps winning too, there's no way we jump them as they beat KSU and LSU. Nov 8th.

We wouldn't get any higher than 5th before October 18th unless at least two of FSU, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Auburn lose.

A win at Alabama would jump us to 3rd at worst.

From then, it depends on where the playoff committee ranks us on October 28th. It would take a Florida State loss to Louisville or Notre Dame, at least one Notre Dame loss, and an Oregon loss to UCLA, Stanford, or Washington for us to be #1 before the playoffs start.

I'll throw out a theoretical top 15 teams in consideration (Alphabetical Order)

Arizona State (11-2)
Auburn (10-2)
Baylor (10-2)
BYU (12-0)
Duke (12-1)
Florida State (13-0)
LSU (11-1)
Michigan State (12-1)
Missouri (12-1)
Notre Dame (11-1)
Oklahoma (12-0)
Oklahoma State (10-2)
Oregon (13-0)
Texas A&M (13-0)
Wisconsin (11-2)

In that case:

1 - Texas A&M
2 - Florida State
3 - Oregon
4 - Oklahoma

5 - Missouri
6 - Michigan State
7 - LSU
8 - Notre Dame
9 - Duke
10 - Auburn
11 - BYU
12 - Oklahoma State
13 - Wisconsin
14 - Baylor
15 - Arizona State

Alabama??

The one sure way to make sure we never reach #1 is to start thinking about it....SMU...focus; Arkansas...focus...

Focus!!!!!!!

We don't want a message board disrupt the Summy vibes!

Hitting #1 matters only at the end of the season. When is irrelevant.

We could be after Alabama but I wouldn't be surprised if we speak at #2 going into the MNC

No way. If we were to win at Auburn, at Alabama that resume would be better than anyone. They would rank #1 at that point

Keep your panties on and dont worry about it...one game at a time son.

I get the sense that the AP is more rational since we're in the playoff era. They won't let FSU sit at #1 if we beat Auburn and Bama. They know FSU can't build a resume anywhere near that impressive and they'll stop giving them the benefit of the doubt as the defending champ.

The team will focus on one game at a time. They must... so we (the non-actual team) can keep speculating about being #1.

Purely theoretical question: When would we hit #1?

I'll take "She is Spitting on You in an Elevator" for $600, Alex.

You guys are idiots talking about being #1 this early in the year with all our toughest conference games in front of us. Stop, just stop. I just hope we can beat Arkansas first.

Good point. We're going to lose a lot of games if TexAgs posters don't keep their head in this! One opponent at a time, guys!

We aren't # 1 now? News to me.

Too early. Real black eye for Jeopardy.

Once FSU loses to Clemson this weekend..that will help our case

When we beat LSU and Bama in the same year.
