College Football playoff scenarios/opinions discussion

[edawg]

Yes that is the scenario.

Georgia win + Texas loss + Florida State loss

If Michigan and Oregon win, then you have:

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Oregon
4. Ohio State

Should put Washington in at 4 instead of Ohio State.

Should put Washington in at 4 instead of Ohio State.

Ohio State would more than likely get the nod in that scenario. They will take 11-1 Ohio State over 12-1 Washington if neither have a conference championship

Though Washington is possible I suppose

 

[edawg]

That would punish Washington for making the championship game and having their only loss be to a playoff team they beat earlier.

Just making the conference championship game doesn't carry much weight given how conferences have difference formats. The having beaten them factor may carry some weight, but not enough given it was a 3 point win at home earlier in the year in a game they were outplayed

Ohio State and Michigan basically played the Big Ten Championship game in Ann Arbor this past Saturday. The game in Indy is a result of poor conference structure -- having divisions.

The committee thinks highly of Ohio State as well. They were #1 for two weeks, while Washington was #5 for three weeks.

They'd be punishing Washington for barely scraping by for most of the season. Style points matter in college football. The eye test also without question matters

 

[stormtrooper8]

If they ranked the 8 teams still alive by how good they actually are, probably would be:

1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
4. Oregon
5. Alabama
6. Texas
7. Washington
8. Florida State

We are gonna speculate all we want.

Get your 2.5 inch cock outta here

Fn hilarious I'm fn dead . Lol

However it turns out, a couple of teams are going to get the shaft

Happens often Wager. With the one loss teams not making the ✂

For what it's worth, the top 10:


1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Washington
4. Florida State
5. Oregon
6. Ohio State
7. Texas
8. Alabama
9. Missouri
10. Penn State

I've got Oregon and Ohio State getting in by Washington and Florida losing. Oregon is in if they beat Washington. Michigan will be in. As long as Georgia wins they are in. If Bama beats them it's gonna be interesting. Definitely Michigan would be #1 if that happens. The 4 spot is where I think Ohio State gets in. Only way I could see Ohio State missing it is if 3 and 4 win which isn't happening.

 

[pipe]

Since Oregon is beating Washington they will be 3rd if top 2 win. If Florida State wins then Ohio State is out. Louisville is going for an outright upset. Therefore thats giving Ohio State the 4 spot.

 

[Wagerallsports]

Teams should be able to jump up as much as they drop

Ohio state goes from #2 to #6 by losing a close game to Michigan

Alabama would deserve to jump from #8 to #4 if they knockoff #1 Georgia

Won't happen but it should go both ways

 

[Tanko]

IMO. The biggest travesty would be Bama over Texas if they both win. Obviously how they win is important but when you have to pick between two teams, you have to ask, how’d they do H2H.

 

[chuckythegoat2]

Klatt has a good discussion on this. His view is pretty good. But I'm not sure his pro-Texas angle is that good.

I said this b4. The committee is pretty useless.

 

[Wagerallsports]

It's only my opinion but I think beating Georgia says & means more than anything else in the all of these matchups & scenarios

If Alabama beats the Bulldogs they deserve to be in

 

[Tanko]

So would you say in that situation that BOTH Bama and Georgia are in?

 

[Wagerallsports]

So would you say in that situation that BOTH Bama and Georgia are in?

Yes

I think we all agree it would be absurd to leave Georgia out

 

[JDS]

IMO if the top 4 teams win they are all in, and it would be the 1st time all 4 teams would be undefeated in the CFP.

 

[JDS]

Also if any top 4 team loses I would like to point out Alabama & Texas have the most wins vs bowl eligible opponents at 7 each. They also have the most wins vs Power 5 conferences at 5 each. I think Alabama would hypothetically leap Texas based on beating the #1 regardless the h2h factor.

 

[Tanko]

IMO if the top 4 teams win they are all in, and it would be the 1st time all 4 teams would be undefeated in the CFP.

That's very likely scenario based on the lines.

I'll say it again, the only way things get messy is if Bama beats Georgia. If that doesn't happen things fall into place pretty easily.

We all want to see the chaos Tanko.

If Alabama beats the Bulldogs they deserve to be in

Georgia 100% could miss the playoff due to circumstances around it

The SEC Champ will make it in

Thankfully Georgia probably is gonna beat Alabama
