So what is known is that the Miami/Clemson and Auburn/Georgia winners are going to be in the playoffs. So that leaves two spots. What is also known is that if Oklahoma beats TCU and Wisconsin beats Ohio State, they are in and Alabama is left out (even though most on that committee would probably say they are one of the top 4 teams in the nation). I mean, come on, Alabama is clearly better than Wisconsin and I'd definitely say Oklahoma as well. The only team I'd declare better than Alabama is Auburn based on what I saw last weekend. So it comes down to two scenarios that get Alabama in the playoffs. TCU beats Oklahoma, Alabama is in. Guaranteed. OR Ohio State beats Wisconsin, does Alabama get in over Ohio State? I say definitely so based on the terrible loss to Iowa by Ohio State. They have also look suspect in a few other games. Not to mention they have actually lost two games. One thing to keep in mind was how the committee very carefully placed Wisconsin at 4. So Ohio State sitting at 8 beating number 4 doesn't scream jump them all the way to 4 necessarily. I was actually a bit surprised they did not leave Alabama one spot ahead of Wisconsin (which is what I predicted in this week's playoff ranking). TCU and USC have no shot. No matter what they do on Saturday.
TCU could beat OK but I doubt they will. Ohio State will beat Wisconsin. It will kill the committee members souls not to be able to take Bama and the Buckeyes but they can't find a way. Gumps will be in.
The sooner D is porous but damn they can score on anyone. It would only take a couple stops and I'm not sure any of them could keep up. With that said TCU is just the type of assholes to screw it up and let bama in. I am not however sold on your love for the gumps. They are not really as good as everyone wants them to be. If I didn't hate them so passionately I'd say I wanted them in just to see their dreams crushed once again but screw that. I want them left out and I don't care how it happens.
Depends on what Ohio State shows up. They could very possibly shit the bed again like at Iowa. They are a doctor jeckyl mr Hyde team this year.
If Auburn loses to Georgia which will most likely happen that will put LSU in second place in the west. Much better grab at a bowl game I suppose. By end week I expect Clemson to lose to Miami. Auburn will lose to Georgia and Ohio State will beat the brakes off Wisconsin.' 1. Oklahoma 2. Alabama 3. Georgia 4.Miami Lets just see how spot on I am with this. Miami gets in over Ohio State because they only have 1 loss....
