It really isn’t that complicated.

I don’t need 24 teams because that makes the regular season pretty useless. The reality is in any given year less than a dozen teams could actually win it. That’s not because the others are not given a chance though. As an example Navy would be in the 24 now. Could Navy ever run a gauntlet of something like: Wisconsin, Penn State, Alabama, Ohio State, and LSU? Of course they couldn’t win those 5 consecutively. It’s not even worth bothering. 8 teams is the right number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 the 8th place team would lose 55-0 to the top team, probably the same for 7th against #2 enough already games of playoff critical interest this weekend: NOON: Bama/Miss St 3:30 Ohio State/Rutgers 4:00 Minnesota/Iowa 7:00 LSU/Ole Miss 7:30 Oklahoma/Baylor and Oregon and Utah have easy wins at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I'm still sticking with Clemson 2 SEC (LSU, Georgia, Alabama) 4th slot is still the B1G to lose: Undefeated Ohio State 1 Loss B1G Champ (Ohio State, Penn St, Minnesota) 1 Loss non Division Champ Ohio State (loss to Penn St or Minnesota) 1 Loss Oklahoma 1 Loss PAC-12 Champ (Oregon or Utah) Edited November 18, 2019 by /dev/null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Utah gets in even if they beat Oregon. Ohio State should win out. Georgia's offense is unimpressive and I think they'll lose by double digits to LSU. I think the 4th spot will come down to who's more impressive. Oklahoma against Baylor or Alabama against Auburn? I trust Alabama and Nick Saban more in that scenario. Oklahoma holding onto dear life against TCU also doesn't help. My guess right now is 1.) LSU 2.) Ohio State 3.) Clemson 4.) Alabama (sigh) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don’t have the resume this year to jump Utah as a 1 loss conference champ. Utah still has to win out obviously. Bama has a path but it’s very narrow.

I don't disagree. The resume is weak. However, I just don't believe it will matter. Bama wins Saturday, and they're in. I believe the committee is going to default to the big name, right or wrong. Utah has a much worse loss, and now the conference championship game will be devalued a bit (given the Oregon loss). That will be all the excuse they need. Although, as I stated already, I don't think Bama wins this weekend, thus making it a moot point.
