    Alabama-Clemson-Miami-Oklahoma: Which Would U Like To See Get Knocked Out Of Top 4?

    Is there a team in the top 4 you'd love to see get knocked out of CFB playoffs?

    Miami because I am so sick of the media fawning all over them because of that stupid chain.

    Look, I get it. It's a motivational tool for the kids playing defense. It's a fun idea. I just don't need to see it 79 times every Saturday.

    Well one of them WILL be knocked out, loser of Miami-Clemson.

    Better question is assuming chalk holds with Alabama and Oklahoma winning out, who gets 4th spot? Sadly, looks like it would be Ohio State-Wisconsin winner.

    Ohio State is OUT. GUARANTEED!!! There is no way the committee will select them over a one loss team, especially after last year's fiasco and losing to a 5 loss Iowa team who crushed them by 31 points and just lost at home to a 6 loss Purdue team. Don't buy into the Midwest Press and CBS Bull S**T. And that is what it is. Bull S**T.

    I actually agree that neither Ohio State or Wisconsin would belong, but committee may have no choice. If chalk holds, would there be any one-loss team left to knock out Ohio State?

    Any way possible UCF makes the 4 team playoff if they run the table and remain undefeated and assuming that Wisky loses one game?

    If the chalk holds, I don't see how any other team gets past the Ohio State/Wisconsin winner.

    If Alabama loses to Auburn, does the SEC get two teams in?

    Nope. Too many teams in front of them.

    Yes. Big Ten is rooting hard for Alabama.

    Wisconsin could get royally screwed if Auburn wins next week, couldn't they?

    The only other way they would get in is if Oklahoma lost. That's unlikely.

    No chance in hell. And why are you singling out Wisky? UCF needs a lot more than that to pull off a miracle entry. Let Knights enjoy their New Year's Six bowl bud, it won't get any better.

    Wisconsin and Ohio State both. And yes, another backdoor for Big Ten would be Oklahoma loss, which is why I started my statement with "if chalk holds".

    Are you sure Alabama wouldn't get the boot if they lost to Auburn?

    because if Wisky runs the table they are getting...no and's, if's, or but's about it...simply because the loser of Clemson/Miami in the ACC championship game is basically an elimination game.

    No (meaning yes I am sure lol), Alabama is already in. They have been the clear #1 all year and would easily be the best one-loss team.

    Not quite true, Alabama loss and Oklahoma win would knock Big Ten out.

    One more scenario. Are we certain Auburn, with their two losses, gets in over an undefeated Wisconsin game?

    well that's not quite true either...it all depends on the committee and their point of view...sometimes it's subjective, not objective...you could make a compelling case for each of those teams getting in or even being left out for that matter...I just don't see an undefeated team from a power 5 conference being left out this year..that is a big reason why they got rid of the old BCS format.

    Big Ten would have had more of a case if Oklahoma did not blow out Ohio State in Columbus. Wiscy's best win all year would be if they beat Ohio State, but Oklahoma doing it in Columbus is convenient tiebreaker.

    Miami's quarterback sucks, he will get completely exposed against a good defense.

    Wisconsin is a joke, I'm an alumni, they've played no one, Michigan is a bad team and they struggling with them at home most of the game. Wisconsin has not beaten a single team that will finish top 25.

    Absolutely and not really close, if Auburn wins SEC, they would have best resume in the country beating Georgia, Alabama and Georgia again all late in the year.

    Ohio State will roll Wisconsin in the big ten championship game and Auburn will lose to Alabama, the question is if Georgia can get in over Auburn despite the heads up loss.

    Going undefeated is not as meaningful vs. one if weakest schedules in the country, possibly THE easiest schedule for Power 5 team. So that should not get much consideration.

    SEC Champion will be in, so Georgia controls its fate with loss to Auburn meaning nothing.

    Of course Georgia will get in if they win the SEC championship, but Alabama will roll them. The question will be does a 2 loss Auburn team get in over a 2 loss Georgia team with Auburn owning the head to head despite Georgia being the better team most of the year.

    If Alabama wins SEC, then Auburn has no chance to get in with 3 losses.

    I disagree, if Wisconsin gets blownout by Ohio State they will have no wins over top 25 teams and a blowout loss to the only ranked team the play. Auburn will look like the clearly better team, with 2 of their 3 losses to top 5 teams. If Wisconsin losses by double digits in the big ten championship game Auburn will get in over them.
