Question: Can Bama get in with 2 losses?

[Roy Bacon]

Right now they are 2nd on the futures board around +330.(ga is 1st at -150). But what if they lose to Georgia by say 1 or 2 in the SEC championship?

There has to be a futures angle here. Then we can talk Michigan vs Ohio St. Almost a similar situation.

They need to win out, plain and simple, IMO

 

[Roy Bacon]

How about Michigan at +2000? They could very well win out and magically be the 4th seed.

All about money they would put Bama,Georgia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame if they could get away with it.

 

[GamblingmanC's]

what if Michigan State wins out? ( Don't think they can ) then Michigan would be out

now if Ohio St. beats Michigan State, but then loses to Michigan, they could be a 3 way tie.

a lot of possible combinations
So I see value in Michigan at +2000

 

[Oddsmaker]

nope almost impossible unless everyone loses.

That's what I was thinking. Not far fetched at all for OSU to knock off MSU and then Michigan beat OSU. THEN, Ga knocks off Bama and now who is #3 AND #4???

You can do a little scalping with a +2000 number with 2 games to play.

That Oklahoma loss really changes the chess board.

I see Bama losing to Georgia but still getting in as the 4 seed....with a Georgia rematch.

It could depend a tad on the score. If Ga hangs a 31-14 score then who knows?

I mean this could get strange.

What if Cinci is undefeated? Do they stay at #5?

And Bama goes even though there are say 4 teams at 12-1?

 

[airforceblue]

Yeah, a GA blow-out is probably the only way to keep Bama out. The committee loves them and will pit them in the Orange Bowl.

And I think Cincy doesn't get in even with an undefeated record. Big10, Big 12, or Pac10 get the Cotton Bowl.

Not what I think is fair but what I think will happen.

 

[Roy Bacon]

Cinci has SMU this week and ECU next. That will take care of itself I think.

Oregon is at Utah and that will be close.

A lot of drama on the horizon. The Notre Dames and Okie St's are very much alive.

 

[GamblingmanC's]

the committee has no Love for Cincy, so no need to put them into the mix

and I'm not too worried about the Ducks, let's face it, Pac-12, I just don't see it
