Week after that LSU has Arky, no problem there.
The last game they better be careful, LSU closes out against Texas A&M
I'm not saying the Aggies win outright, but they could if they play near flawless ball.
Aggies are 6-3 all three losses to top 10 teams. They played Clemson tight, they lost to Auburn 28-20, and 'Bama blew them out.
Mark LSU down as a mortal lock to make the playoffs.
Ohio State right now according to me is the best team in the nation.
Buckeyes are -51.5 on the road at Rutgers Saturday.
However they could lose to Penn State (it's a possibility) and the closer against Michigan they could get upset if they have a brain fart.
Even a one loss Ohio State team is still a mortal lock for the playoffs.
Clemson will go to the ACC title game undefeated, they have Wake and South Carolina left to play.
OK, I have Clemson, LSU, and Ohio State as mortal locks.
That leaves one team.
Alabama is the best one loss team in the nation and barring any brain farts will be the fourth team in.
Having said that it would behoove 'Bama to win out and with the SEC title game too (if they get there, right now it looks like Georgia vs. LSU)
My guy Jeff Sagarin says Oregon is the second best one loss team in the land followed by Penn State, Georgia, and Okie.
Personally I would love to see Oregon sneak in, the Nasher household is an Alabama household but seriously I'm tired of them every year.
Auburn, Western Carolina (how did they get on the schedule?) and Miss. State left to play.
