Never thought of that..... LSU beats Bama in regular season UGA beats LSU in SECCG Bama says we were #1 when Tua go hurt, and now he’s back. I’d say that you’d likely be seeing 3 SEC teams in the playoffs under that scenario. PAC-12 has no one. ACC has Clemson. OU doesn’t have a championship game, which hurts badly. I can’t imagine an undefeated OSU gets passed over, but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility, either.
No way an undefeated OSU gets passed over. None. In the scenario you just described, it's UGA, OU, Clemson, and OSU. If you are undefeated in a P-5, you are going to get the nod over someone who isn't. And that's the way it should be, because Bama and LSU had a chance, an undefeated team-- what? Had none?
Not until Tennessee is good enough to have a shot at the playoff and then 3 Big Ten schools get in and we are left out.
What I want: Some situation where the S-E-C, S-E-C sheep whine all winter because every team got left out.
