I think they should rank them according to resume so far. However, if there is a team that controls its own destiny that is not in the top 4 then they should go ahead and tell the public.
I need one of two things to happen: 1) TCU loss 2) tOSU or Michigan gets blown out in their game One of those two things happen, and I think we are golden. Unless USC wins out and they become ESPN's team du jour.
As undeserving as they are/would be, it’s hard for me to see the committee leaving out a 1 loss, PAC12 champion USC. I think they’d jump at the opportunity to put them in.
I think a loss by Michigan puts us in unless it’s the game of the century. Their resume is nowhere close to ours.
If they beat UCLA, Notre Dame, and Oregon in consecutive weeks, honestly hats off to them, they earned it.
Same with TCU. I have always said, and it would bite our ass this year, that if you don't win your conference, you really shouldn't be in the playoffs with only 4 teams (caveat: unless the other conferences have a shit winner with 2+ losses). Undefeated TCU and one loss USC should be in, in my mind. So, they need to lose, those [uck fay]ers.
Nope, but our loss isn’t by one-point on the road either. (Would Georgia trash USC? Almost certainly. But you can only play the schedule in front of you. I do not expect USC to win out from here, and if they do, good for them, hope TCU loses).
The Big 12 is actually stronger than the Pac 12. Honestly, TCU would have a gripe in that scenario, but pretty sure they'd be left out.
Its funny to think that if TCU and USC win out we could be number 5, but if TCU loses we are likely 3rd. But I think that is what would happen. USC would only jump us to get in
Everyone's overlooking the disaster scenario. Everything else goes right and people lose that need to except LSU beats UGA in the SECCG. Then they jump LSU over UT, UGA stays in, and we are frozen out because there's a better chance of a snowball in hell than 3 SEC teams in a 4 team playoff.
I hope so but wouldn't it be the most UT thing ever for LSU to sneak by UGA and leapfrog us, leaving us to play someone like friggin Kansas State in the Sugar Bowl?
