or does UCF have a chance, since they, along with Wisconsin are the only unbeaten teams left?

If Ohio State, another 2-loss team, beats Wisconsin in their championship game....do they get in?

Assuming Clemson wins tonight, they would likely become #1 with Oklahoma #2.

How far do 11-1 Alabama and 10-1 Miami drop?

What a nightmare!

Isn't it a great thing that we now have the playoffs to straighten every thing out? LOL

A case could be made for bringing that old computer out of the closet. I'm not a big fan of AI running my life, but is a human committee really any better at picking the best four teams to go forward? If we go to 8 teams and another round, is picking the eighth team going to be any easier than picking the fourth? NO!

Whoever makes the selections, man or HAL, there is going to be a lot of criticism and unhappy folks.

I like Wisconsin over UCF in the national finals and I'll cover the spread.

Going back to the original post in this thread, I guess Alabama's schedule leading up to the Auburn game was just too tough. I underestimated the Mercer effect.

Bleacher Reports is projecting this:
•1. Clemson (Last week: 2)
•T-1. Oklahoma (3)
•3. Auburn (6)
•4. Wisconsin (5)
•5. Alabama (1)
•6. Georgia (7)
•7. Miami (4)
•8. UCF (9)
•9. Ohio State (8)
•10. Penn State (12)
•11. TCU (11)
•12. USC (13)
•13. Washington (15)
•14. Stanford (14)
•15. Oklahoma State (23)
•16. LSU (18)
•17. Michigan State (22)
•18. Notre Dame (10)
•19. Memphis (17)
•20. Northwestern (19)
•21. Washington State (16)
•22. Virginia Tech (NR)
•23. Mississippi State (20)
•24. Florida Atlantic (NR)
•25. San Diego State (25)


I was expecting Alabama behind UGA, since they were ranked ahead of Bama before losing to Auburn, but assume they are looking how both teams faced Auburn.

It's gonna break down like this :

winner of Clemson and Miami- IN

winner of Wisconsin and Ohio State- In

winner of Georgia and Auburn- In

Oklahoma- IN

I mean I could see a scenario where Miami ,Ohio State and Georgia all win and Miami or Ohio State is left out for Bama... but that's probably unlikely to happen

Nick Saban said it best....it's a shame that the ONE game is gonna decide Alabama's fate......the committee has a mess on their hands.

IMO, if you lose your division and don't even play for your conference championship you should be eliminated from consideration.


I'd prefer if they went to 8 conferences and took the conference champions into an 8 team tournament. No voting, no committee, no polls.


I mean, how could Bama argue they deserve to be there if Clemson, Ohio State , Oklahoma all win (obviously the SEC winner is going to be in) when they didn't even have to play the extra championship game?

Agreed..Alabama's loss couldn't have come at a worse time...but still....It is only ONE LOSS....to the #6 ranked team.....While Clemson lost to unranked Syracuse.

[pawpawdiv9]

It depends where they place Bama....if its ahead of UGA,,they might get in ahead of Ohio St (if they beat Wisky)
If they are placed a tad lower, might as well say bye-bye-bye Bama.

ROLE TIDE ROLE. and won it with freshman's both these teams will be in the mix for years.

Are Hawaiians even allowed to play football in the States?

-if that kid had started, it never would have gotten to overtime.

You're right, Nick. It could be as simple as that. It would be hard to argue against it. IMO

Alabama picked the worst possible time to lose.....and their lone loss is against the highest ranked opponent they have faced. Meanwhile Clemson loses to Syracuse and gets in...go figure.

I can't believe that most are okay with Ohio State potentially getting in as a 2 loss team. They weren't close losses either.

I'm good with Bama in as a 1 loss team. It's hard to go undefeated, and it doesn't matter to me when a loss occurs.
