And a Georgia win over Auburn would devalue the gumps strength of schedule. I have miced feelings about that though. If Auburn wins the natty LSU would be seen in a better light by recruits for having beaten the champs. A good message that Oeaux has righted the good ship Rosy Finch and that we are on the right track.
Im not sure that is guaranteed. If OSU wins by a large amount I think they very well could take the #4 spot. If they were going to be really punished for that Iowa (and OU) loss, then it would have happened already. I think the committee just favors wins a lot more over losses.
I think the committee favors teams that would get good TV ratings. I wouldn't be surprised if they fpund some way to choose both Bama ane THE Ohio State University.
The committee put the semifinals on New Years Eve for the first three years. I dont think any of them have a c-suite position waiting for them at Viacom.
I think your predictions are all wrong...... Auburn definitely beats Georgia (Fromm just won't be able to make enough plays) Clemson definitely beats Miami (we're talking Mark Richt for God's sake, the master of the 2 loss season, no really look it up in the Guinness book of world records) Ohio State is dealing with starting a QB with a serious injury (don't ask me why he's still starting but he is).
I don't mind rooting for Wisconsin even though I think they get thrashed on turf in a dome. Ohio State is loaded with athletes, Wisconsin would maybe win if this is outdoors in the cold on grass. But fuck Oklahoma and Baker Mayfield. I can't root for them.
