Nice. The top ten rankings may end up looking like this: 1) Georgia 2) Ohio State 3) Michigan 4) TCU 5) Tennessee (could flip-flop with TCU) 6) Oregon 7) USC 8) UCLA 9) LSU 10) Alabama
As an aside, that Bama/LSU game was awesome. I love it that Brian Kelly went for the 2-point conversion in OT.....most likely killing the Crimson Tide's playoff chances.
If Oregon wins out they will end up 3 I think. OSU/Michigan one is going to lose that game and fall. I think Tennessee will end up 5. That USC/UCLA game is going to be big.
But would a 1 loss BIG10 team fall behind a 1 loss PAC12 team when that PAC12 team was blown like the Ducks were?
Super annoying because Georgia is killing everyone. Tennessee got schooled. I'm going to be SUPER annoyed if a 2 loss LSU jumps us.
I'm just going to expect to not make the playoffs, so I will be pleasantly surprised if we do make it. We just need to win out, control what we can control, and whatever happens will happen.
If Oregon is the Pac 12 champ and the other was runner up I think so. The Pac has 4 teams in the top 13 or so right now. I think if you come out undefeated in the Pac with the only loss at Georgia, yeah I think hte BIG 10 team falls outside the top 5
If they end up beating UCLA, WA, Utah, OSU & SC in CCG, that would be impressive and tough to overlook if another team had 1 conference loss?
This is the problem with college football and it's the sport I enjoy the most. Georgia assuming they win out in the regular season and even if they lose in the SEC championship game is most likely in. The winner of Ohio State/Michigan is in and I really think Tennessee is in as long as they don't slip up again. Now it comes down to is a 1 loss Oregon that got the doors blown off them by Georgia better than a one loss OSU/Mich ... or an unbeaten/1 loss TCU ... or an Ole Miss that runs the table (though I really don't think they take 3 SEC schools). There is a spot for the P12 or B12 as Clemson losing was bigger than any other result for the playoff situation.
Agree, if Oregon has no conference loss and they win out with some impressive play they have a good chance.
The solution is extremely easy and yet the powers that be don't want to go to it, make it an 8 team playoff. Take the 5 conference champions, the highest ranked G5 team and then two at large teams. Now everyone has something to play for and a team like Oregon (good lord I pray they don't get in) still has a shot even after getting curb stomped in their opening game. Instead they want to jump to 12 teams with byes worked in and making it unnecessarily complicated.
