Nov 28th - College Football Playoff - Who will make the cut?

[JDS]

Yep CFP just came out

1. Georiga
2. Michigan
3. TCU
4. USC
5. Ohio State
6. Alabama

So basically if USC loses, Buckeyes are in.

Only murky thing is what to do is TCU loses

No way the committee will allow TCU into the playoffs if they are not a conference champion. A one loss Big 10 team gets a higher grade over a one loss Big 12 team easily.

The thought is if USC loses, Ohio St is in.
TCU loses and Ohio St. is in.
If TCU AND USC lose, Ohio St is in and TCU will probably stay ahead of 2 loss Alabama and still be in.

I agree that Ohio State SHOULD get the spot over TCU if Kansas State wins

Ohio State loss feels bad at the moment, but I don't think it was as bad as score indicated. Ohio State looked like the better team in the first half. It got out of hand late in the 4th quarter -- it didn't seem like Ohio State was overmatched tbh.

On top of that, they just have a better resume in a better conference. All 11 wins by double-digits.

Who knows what the committee will do though

TRU if both lose then TCU could sneak in. Don’t think both will though.

Gut feeling is both USC and TCU win.

Utah looks pretty formidable though. That could be a shootout

We share the same gut feeling.

I think K State may knock off TCU.

Would you like to give us one or more reasons to why this may happen ?
