very plausible College Football Playoff chaos scenario next weekend

[budwiser]

In the end they can whine and cry and fight over the last spot (Georgia, Bama, or Texas). Okie St. lost to Jacksonville St. and who else non-conf? Because they rolled through the Big 12.

sagarin sos
texas 2
bama 15
georhis 56

so the choice seems clear

[budwiser]

bottom line ca$h

you can say whatever you want

start a thread with your pick and go naked

until then you can talk forever

everyone is a genius looking back

i woulda bought bitcoin 15 years ago

[raiders72001]

Bama +118 to get in, -144 no FD
Texas -300/+235

[budwiser]

Bama +118 to get in, -144 no FD

i don't get how bama can get in but texas is -200 plus

maybe they're seriously thinking of dunking fla st?

[risKingDigits]

If they let Georgia in then they are doing the playoffs a disservice, Georgia is 48-1 vs all other teams since 2020 and 1-3 vs Bama.

nobody wants to play bama, nobody

[raiders72001]

i don't get how bama can get in but texas is -200 plus

maybe they're seriously thinking of dunking fla st?

FSU -500 yes, +360 no

[raiders72001]

GA +1500 yes, -5000 no FD

[budwiser]

yeah it's crazy man. ga out

but you play a pathetic schedule no surprise

they got oregon disease unable to recognize close games

[hehfest]

who you referring to?

[Eddy Munny]

Maybe Ohio State will get in and shock the world. Don't they hold the "best" loss?

[budwiser]

who you referring to?

i put bama ml thread here 4 hours before gametime

I think Eddy took them with the points. I passed on that game. I did take FSU +1 for 1k though. I will post it if need be so this isn't bullshit talk.

- no SEC champion has ever been left out of the 4 team CFP. Bama would be the first to be left out in 10 years


- no Undefeated Power 5 school has ever missed thee 4 team field. FSU would be the first to be left out in a decade.


- no school in the penultimate rankings (the final rankings before championship saturday) has ever jumped from Outside of the Top 6, into the Top 4. #7 Texas and #8 Alabama would be the first two squads to do it.


We have 5 conference champions who all look like they belong, and something has to give.


Luckily for the committee, they can invoke the guidance in their selection guidelines, that states that they absolutely can take into account a team missing a key player.


Jordan Travis FSU QB? That dude is such a huge on and off the field leader that not having him out there gives the committee the cover they need to downgrade FSU.

Yes, but it sounds like you're the only one hellbent on downgrading them to the point of being omitted from contention.

That's not necessarily how the committee feels.

[raiders72001]

Mich, Wash, FSU, Texas is my guess.


edit- changed mind

[raiders72001]

Yes, but it sounds like you're the only one hellbent on downgrading them to the point of being omitted from contention.

Agree that they don't get downgraded after beating Louisville.

[hehfest]

Non Conf. Opponents:

WSH: Boise (champ game conf.), Tulsa, MSU (Mich St.)
FSU: Fla, Lsu (2 SEC teams), Southern Miss
UM: UNLV (played Boise conf. champ game and lost), Bowling Green, East Carolina
Georgia: Ball St., UAB, Geo Tech, I think Tenn Martin?
Texas: Rice, Bama, Wyoming (credit for Bama probably still give FSU edge non-conf.)
Bama: Texas (lost but credit for B12 team power), Midd Tenn, South Fla, Chatanooga
OH St.: Youngstown St., West Kentucky, Notre Dame (still not close so no way they should be considered)

FSU had the toughest non-conf. schedule and even over Texas and Bama. Just my opinion. I know Fla was down this year but still formidable. I don't have any futures on FSU, but I just don't see where the argument is other than them losing Travis as a reason and that would be far unfair.

NOTE: They were the only one of those teams to play 2 teams from power conf. in non-conf. games. Peace Homey187 peace. Hope this helps!

If this doesn't settle it, then I have no idea what would. Ya'll should go see a doctor talking all this madness.

[Da Manster!]

Mine would be last spot either Geo or Texas and I think I would put Texas in there over both Bama and Georgia. Sick of this SEC is so bad-ass bullshit too.

Agree with those sentiments Hehfest but OK ST lost to South Alabama, not Jax ST.

[Da Manster!]

Maybe Ohio State will get in and shock the world. Don't they hold the "best" loss?

I was just about to mention the Buckeyes! It seems like this entire thread they are the one team that no one is talking about. They are a damn good team they only lost to potentially #1 Michigan at Ann Arbor by 6 points! Any chance they can "sneak" in the field?

Also no number 1 team losing the last game has been left out

I think these rankings will be the final rankings. That way, the committee can say "Florida State wasn't even 5th, Georgia was." Gives them a bailout.

[champlain]

Washington deserves to be the number 1 seed over Michigan.

[navyblue81]

One way to look at it.

Give FSU the schedule of Alabama. Would they still go undefeated and beat Georgia in the SEC Championship without Travis as their quarterback all season? If your answer to that is "No way in hell," then how can you put them in over Alabama if our goal is to put in the four best teams, as the committee's guidelines say?

[budwiser]

looking at fanduel odds almost 50% chance bama over fla st

texas in

[Itsamazing777]

Washington deserves to be the number 1 seed over Michigan.

No they don't. Their defense is trash. Michigan will shut them down

[coop-dog]

eeryone knows flordia state sucks now with 3rd string qb, please leave them out

[Itsamazing777]

The 2nd stringer might be back if they get in

[navyblue81]

What's interesting is their odds went from +700 to +400 in the last hour. Did something leak? Guess we'll see soon.

[coop-dog]

The 2nd stringer might be back if they get in

do u think they can beat any of the top 6 teams with that offense?

[navyblue81]

Bama’s odds still dropping. So maybe it leaked out or people stupidly putting money on a team that can’t win title.

[budwiser]

Be sure you bump this comment on Sunday afternoon.

bumped i said 0 chance fla st

right again

did fla st deserve it yes but we live in the real world

[Itsamazing777]

do u think they can beat any of the top 6 teams with that offense?

No.

[Seattle Slew]

Just the way we said it. Was never in doubt.

Now, what are the lines?

My guess,

Michigan -3 vs. Bama.
Texas -3 vs. Washington.
