This is what the playoff will look like

[theballguy]

I'm thinking more like:

1. Oregon
2. Bama
3. FSU
4. Ohio State

Same matchups though. I know if I was Baylor/TCU, I'd be peeved but they put themselves in this place.

i just heard a talking head say the dumbest thing I have heard regarding the playoffs. He said, "I see 6 teams that deserve to be in the playoffs." (ok I can see that argument, but then he followed up that with this idiotic statement. "If you have 6 then you have to have 8." Huh?

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

I think it will be:

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Ohio State
4. Florida State

They won't make Florida State fans travel across the country. Having a Pac-12 Big Ten match up in the Rose Bowl is too good to pass up. The committee has said they start fresh each week. So having TCU at #3 last week means nothing. The Big 12 gets penalized for not having a "True Champion."

Maybe the committee matches TCU and Baylor in the Cotton Bowl, so they can settle this thing on the field.

That's something that could happen as well.

Common sense, you know it isn't common.

This will probably be reaching, and admittedly I'm trying to justify an Oregon FSU matchup by whatever means necessary, but.....I've heard from many Bama fans on here saying how well Bama fans travel. Even if not a single FSU fan showed up in New Orleans, would the stadium not still be fully packed with nothing but Bama fans? And there would be enough Oregon fans showing up in Pasadena, along with a large chunk of FSU fans, as well as some locals who aren't affiliated with either team (like the Stanford fans that came to the PAC Championship game just because the venue was nearby).

I agree, I think the committee wants to see Bama and FSU in the Sugar Bowl, because that will be a great draw.

Rice is the only committee member that doesn't have any of what it would take to do that. Since I can't say what it would take a lot of for them to do that.

The "TCU or Baylor" question got overshadowed by the absolute massacre of Wisconsin by OSU. OSU deserves to be there. FSU will not drop out, that's for sure. It's got to be the four conference champions.

My guess:
1) Oregon
2) Bama
3) FSU
4) OSU

The last two times Alabama entered the playoffs as the #2 seed, they took home the hardware.

Playing Devil's Advocate...I think many are giving too much credit to the OSU victory over Wisconsin. Wisconsin doesn't have a single win over a team ranked in the College Football Playoff poll. Looks like they may not have been a very good team in the first place.

Is that your prediction? If so, you have no idea what you're posting and I can only assume are under the influence of illegal narcotics.

 

[Tide1986]

TCU had a tougher schedule than Baylor and Ohio state. I do not think anything changes from last week.

Except that Baylor now has more quality wins than TCU.

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

One thing I'm not worried about and that Bama being IN!!

the committee has now made it's decision. we are now just waiting until that decision is read live

What a firestorm that would cause.

Nevertheless, seems to be plausible especially since the committee seems to be trying to break away from the thinking associated with the previous polls (i.e. valuing undefeated seasons over most other considerations).

 

[tusks_n_raider]

I'd like to hear why some of you have bumped Oregon to #1?? Is that what you really think of Oregon or what you think the committee will do?

We have been #1 for a month and clobbered Mizzou every bit as well as Oregon beat a no-show 'Zona. Our SOS is 5th while Oregon's is 22nd!! We deserve the #1 seed whether it matters or not.

If you are justifying it by saying that they want Bama vs FSU then fine....leave FSU at #4 because they barely deserve to be in if at all.

What it should be:
1)Bama
2)Oregon
3)OSU
4)FSU

What I think it will be:
1)Bama
2)Oregon
3)FSU
4)OSU

I haven't examined the complete resumes of both teams, but Oregon did beat a higher ranked team (#7) than we beat (#16).

That is ONE game. We are better than them in every meaningful team stat other than 'game control'. They are 1st against the 22nd ranked SOS. We are 2nd in the country in game control against the 5th ranked SOS. We clearly have been every bit as dominate over the WHOLE season against BETTER competition.

1) Alabama

4) Ohio State

Meyer vs Saban again......

Mariota vs Winston

Story lines!

If this is what it looks like, Urban might have a panic attack. The OSU AD should have a brown paper bag on standby for Meyer to breathe in and out of slowly.

I agree with this.

However, this should have been an 8 team shindig!

The final 4 is a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ thing. There will be many eyes watching these games!
