College Football playoff scenarios/opinions discussion

[stormtrooper8]

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.

That scenario is not likely at all

Very decent chance 2 undefeateds go down

Washington is probably going to lose to Oregon, and Florida State definitely could lose

The football world should be rooting for Washington and FSU to lose

 

[stormtrooper8]

I think it’s gonna end up

1 Georgia
2 Michigan
3 Oregon
4 Texas
5 Ohio State
6 Washington

If Wash loses to Oregon, Oregon is in. Period.

Yes

I’m saying there is very little chance the 4 undefeateds win which you said is likely

 

[stormtrooper8]

Georgia could finish as low as 6 if they lose

The notion that they’re automatically in is very incorrect

 

[Tanko]

Yes

I’m saying there is very little chance the 4 undefeateds win which you said is likely

I meant all the Favs are very likely to win.
Wash is going to lose IMO. The next most likely undefeated team to lose is FSU.

Hell I rank the likelihood of losing for these teams.

1. Wash - Almost a guarantee (kind of).
2. FSU - This could happen vs Louisville
3. Georgia - Not likely but possible.
4. Mich - Never going to happen. Team bus could crash with 1st team and 2nd team would still beat Iowa.

I agree.... I think they could drop to 5 (but ok 6th for the sake of argument).
But, I think they beat Bama. Not fully confident of this but, they look really good.

 

[stormtrooper8]

The committee doesn’t put the 4 best teams in no matter what they say

They put the most “deserving”

So yes they could leave Georgia and Ohio State both out despite them probably both being in the four best by anyone who watches closely

 

[pipe]

I rank em #1 Georgia if don't lose #2 Michigan #3 Oregon #4 Ohio State

I think they beat Alabama too and put that shit to rest

I think they could fal to 6 if they honor the Texas H2H

 

[Tanko]

I rank em #1 Georgia if don't lose #2 Michigan #3 Oregon #4 Ohio State

FSU fans feeling a little upset Pipe...

I'm just saying bol. Louisville + them points and I believe even outright.

I suppose that's how it should be

We automatically want the 'best team's' in, but tend to forget that in all other sports the best team doesn't always win in the playoffs

And these next games in college football are basically 1-Game playoffs to see who gets in

Kirk Herbsteit was making this point on last nights show & says that's why there are so many lopsided wins in the playoffs.

Yes because they let teams like Florida State in honestly cuz they “deserve it”

 

[stormtrooper8]

What about this scenario:

Alabama wins
Oregon wins
Michigan wins
Texas wins
Florida State wins


Is that the one scenario that Oregon is left out even if they win?

Seems impossible that Oregon doesn't get in if they win

Nope....

Bama
Oregon
Mich

would be in... 4th seed would go to Georgia/FSU/Texas.

 

[pipe]

If Georgia wins Michigan wins and Oregon wins those are the top 3 IMHO. Florida State wins their in. But if they lose its either Ohio State or Texas in the 4th spot. I have overlooked Texas. Both them and Ohio State will have 1 loss if Texas wins. Somebody is gonna definitely get screwed here if it turns out this way.

 

[Tanko]

Ok so lets try this.

What if:
Georgia loses
FSU loses
Texas loses

These are all possible (not likely).

Mich/Bama/Oregon- who's the 4th team? Georgia/Ohio St?
