TCB Poll: Week 3 Reactions

by

Beginning in 2014, a playoff selection committee will determine which four college football teams play for the national title. Some are skeptical of the committee, so we — the Elvii of college football — have joined together to present our weekly playoff nominations. We call it the T.C.B. Poll.

@TheLSUElvis

Elvis Presley’s last movie was about a Doctor who was in charge of a clinic in a poor neighborhood. The movie was titled “Change of Habit.” Well there was no ‘change of habit’ in my top 4 over the weekend so it remains the same…

  1. Florida State
  2. Alabama
  3. Oregon
  4. Oklahoma

@AuburnElvis

  1. Oregon – Every week their path to a perfect regular season seems easier.
  2. FSU – Every week, their path to a perfect season seems harder.
  3. Auburn – We’ll find out on Thursday is this pick is smart, or just homer-ism.
  4. Texas A&M – Has to win at least 3 of these games: Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Missouri. I think they will.

@HawkeyeElvis

Just like when I give my kids money to buy something, no change for Hawkeye Elvis.

  1. Oregon – They actually trailed! Wyoming 7-0 after the first quarter. And still scored 48 points. Their Pac-12 competition seems to be vanishing every week.
  2. Florida State – Will the Seminoles truly be tested this week with Clemson coming to town? Or will the Tigers get mollywhopped again?
  3. Alabama – The Gators barely held off Kentucky this week. What will the Tide do them? Hide the women and children.
  4. Auburn – A stern test for Auburn Elvis on a Thursday night. Be wary of that old wizard in Manhattan. They win this game and it looks really good on a resume.

This morning I’m just thankful there isn’t a Cyclone Elvis.

@IrishElvis

This job gets easier as the number of undefeated teams dwindles. It’ll get harder once we need to start differentiating between one-loss teams…

  1. Oregon – stays put for another week
  2. Oklahoma – moving them up a bit since their schedule strength is virtually identical to Oregon
  3. Florida State – Clemson test this week should help an atrocious schedule thus far and hopefully test the defending champs
  4. Alabama – I think they’re still the SEC team to beat, but like most, they have their flaws
