Why would Notre Dame need
To lose just once for Michigan to jump them? You'd have two 1-loss teams with one having a win over the other?
If we have a 1-loss ND and a 1-loss Michigan, either ND gets in, they both do, or they both don't.
Otherwise you're sending a message that playing these games doesn't matter. Just schedule cupcakes and win your conference. Or in ND’s case run the table.
ND has had a pretty easy schedule but you raise a fair point.
The thing is the playoff is for the power 5 conferences..... If Notre dame lose and Michigan win out... Michigan getting a spot
Notre Dame loses all Playoff hopes with one loss due to schedule. Yes, they beat Michigan but Big Ten would prevail over an Independent, even if it is the Irish.
So if ND doesn’t get in, what incentive does any school have to schedule up? Notre Dame could have scheduled Ball State and be in the exact same spot of having to win out to make the playoffs.
Fans and the media can bitch about Alabama playing the citadel and Georgia playing Umass next week until they’re blue in the face, but they have zero reason not to.
Just put 4 sec teams in
Rest of conferences chumps

notre dame sos isnt all that bad, its better than clemson's now and will be a lot better by season's end in case clemson loses a game. ohio state has the worst sos as we speak today
Notre Dame will help ratings tremendously they have to get in so I’m praying they don’t lose a game
Then lose by 30 round 1Originally Posted by jjgold
If Notre Dame wins out, they are in. No discussion needed. If they lose a game to any of the three remaining teams, they do not deserve to get in. Syracuse will be 8-2, with their two losses coming on the road to Clemson and Pitt and their biggest win coming at home against N.C. State. They play the Irish in New York City.
The real battle is for #4. Right now, Michigan has the advantage, but they have to go to Columbus, a place where they are known to find ways to lose. If they lose, then Georgia, Oklahoma, and West Virginia have to win out or Ohio State gets in, unless they vote for a 12-1 Washington State, which is highly doubtful, though they are ranked ahead of Ohio State now. IMO, Alabama and Clemson are so far ahead of everyone else it really does not matter. At least there will be no expansion arguments this season.
Agreed
Bama and Clemson on a different level
If Ohio State wins out, they are 4th team. They are in exact same position as Michigan. Notre Dame would have to lose a game to open door for Big 12 or Georgia.
Ohio St is not getting in
Of course they are if they win out. One-loss Big Ten champ trumps Big 12 and Georgia.
They lost to Purdue lmao
Nebraska had them on the ropes
They are finished
Doesn't matter IF THEY WIN OUT.I keep stressing that and yet you don't want to listen.
JFC if a ton of teams win out they are inDoesn't matter IF THEY WIN OUT.
Not rocket science
if uga and ohio st. win out how do you keep uga out that would mean a win over bama in sec championship
You don’t
Not true, some have edge over others. Ohio State/Michigan winner is IN as one-loss Big Ten champ, Notre Dame is in if they win out. Others can win out but would have no chance unless Ohio State and Michigan both lose a game or Notre Dame loses. Alabama could lose a game and still get in, maybe even Clemson too. It is not that hard to figure out really as of now, but this is always subject to change.
Oh and another given is UCF has ZERO chance even if they win 100 games in a row.
True, but UGA won't beat Bama. If Tide loses a game, it will be unexpected regular season upset vs, team they overlooked, it would not be in SEC Championship Game having their total attention.
So ?
You think if UGA wins out they won’t get in?
Ok
If UGA and Ohio st win out they are both in
Zero chance the SEC Champ gets left out
Wrong
The only team left with any chance at all is UGA
That being said Bama wins out
To put this another way, only team that can beat Alabama is Alabama, they would be double-digit favorite over any other team in the country. Clemson is the consensus #2 team, and Bama would even be about -10.5 in that game, their smallest spread vs. any team.
I don't think ANY team has a chance if Bama cares, which is why I said it would be a regular season upset with Tide not caring. They would be fully motivated vs. Georgia.
And since we agree Bama wins out, that would also assure Ohio State is in if they win out.
Cliff notes
Sec champ
Acc champ
Big10 champ
Notre Dameif undefeated
If Notre dame not undefeated
Big 12 champ
Yes I agree with this. It is just that I don't think GA has much of a chance.
If by some miracle Georgia beats Alabama, Tide would knock out either Big Ten or Notre Dame. All my comments earlier were based on Bama winning out though, which is what I expect.Cliff notes
Sec champ
Acc champ
Big10 champ
Notre Dame
If Notre dame not undefeated
Big 12 champ
almost. if clemson loses in acc championship game whoever would have beaten them isnt getting in. if wv loses to oklahoma last game of season but beats them in championship game, they arnt getting in.Cliff notes
Sec champ
Acc champ
Big10 champ
Notre Dame
If Notre dame not undefeated
Big 12 champ
Honestly
The chances of Bama losing are greater than Clemson’s imo
Is Clemson really losing.... The more plausible event is Michigan/Ohio State winner losing in big ten champ game.... Then the big 12 come into play or if Notre dame lose
Seriously, do you guys not remember just a year ago? Ohio State were the Big10 champs and lost out to an Alabama team with a dog ish résumé.
They, then, were stoked in their “underdog” role against Clemson that Clemson wanted no part of. Bama wanted revenge. Just too lopsided from an emotional standpoint #unfair.
SEC had a very down year last year but have a few more better teams this year and this year’s Bama team is obviously ridiculously good. Maybe fate will even things out and they dont win it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Prior to The Playoff, Bama played one tough team last year and lost
Unlike last year, Alabama going undefeated helps Ohio State's chances this year. Last year, Alabama losing a game cost Ohio State its chance to get in.
psu beat osu hth last year AND won the big 10 title, osu got in over them
2 years ago, washington had an ooc schedule of portland state, rutgers, and someone else uselesss and got in over psu
don't even try to make sense of who gets in
