Game Thread: washington vs oregon we care a little but not much

[LeBron47]

This is how I think it will be after today… Michigan, Washington, Ohio State, Alabama or Washington, Texas, Michigan, Alabama First scenario Georgia, Texas and Fla St loses…Second Michigan, Georgia, Fla St loses

I think in your first scenario it will be Michigan Washington Alabama Georgia

 

[colbysullivan]

Entirely possible. See Michigan last year vs TCU. They clearly expected to waltz through that game.

Well yeah, they thought they had TCU’s signals…

Ohio State isn’t getting in

If michigan, texas, fsu, and uga all lose they do. Highly unlikely, but there is a way.

Michigan couldn’t lose to Iowa even if they DIDN’T have their signals…

I really thought it'd be cool if Oregon won. That would add another one-loss contender to the chaos. Even better would be an FSU loss, adding another and a Michigan loss to truly make the committee's job a complete cluster.

I love the committee's logic that Oregon must have been the best one loss team because they blew out teams with losing records. Those guys knows football, never mind that this Oregon team was like all the other Oregon teams, which is to say not championship caliber.

Washington winning was the better outcome honestly. I don’t trust this committee any further than I can throw them (and with my bad knee, I shouldn’t be throwing anyone) not to put two Whack12 teams in. Now we know for sure Oregon is out, and Washington will be a much easier opponent should we make it in.

“The same teams lose that always lose” or something like that. Oregon is a fake football program that only exists because of Phil Knight.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Oregon was favored by 10 over these bums?

I know it’s a preferred talking point that past results don’t matter and don’t factor in. But they do whether we want them to or not.

Best one-loss team my rear end.

I know this, and agree completely. But a part of me still wanted max chaos tomorrow. Alabama, FSU, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Washington all at 12-1. Who couldn't get a kick out of shoving that up the south end of this north-loving committee?

[Edit] To borrow from Jess' last commentary on 2022's folly, the four best teams in my Chaos Scenario are Alabama, Georgia, Texas and "who cares."

They would find a way to keep us out, I’m sure.

Just now seeing the final score.

I’m glad Wash won because their defense is BAD.

If we beat UGA and FSU or Tex loses we will be #4 and draw Mich in the Semis

Then the NC would potentially be Bama vs the Wash/FSU or Tex semi winner.

We’d either over power Wash or FSU or get a revenge rematch with Tex.

Just Beat UGA!!!

I don’t think they‘ll put Washington against FSU in the semis. That would virtually guarantee we get a final just like last year. Washington and FSU need to not play each other so they can both lose in the semis.

 

[Krymsonman]

Glad Washington won as it eliminates Oregon. If Oregon would have won I could see this committee putting both Washington and Oregon in because they're both just so good! For me, this just eliminates one more road block in front of BAMA. Now, go beat Georgia!!

Mich’s resume is too superior to not be #1 in my scenario.

Plus they’ve hammered us too much to let us be higher than #4

They’ve backed themselves into a corner with their rankings.

They always change the rankings to make better matchups

I just saw where three of the five ESPN pickers chose Iowa to beat Michigan.

All I can figure is they know viewership will be down so they're trying to generate some interest...

Now they’re just trolling people on live TV…wow.
