THE College Football Playoff Rankings Thread [MICH,WASH,TEX,ALA]

[BlackCat 389]

There isn't the team in the country that wants to play us right now. This team can have trouble playing with full intensity at times, but once we got past Iowa State that became a non issue. Our hair is on fire if they put us in the playoff and they know it. If we had to play FSU for a spot in the playoff we would cover whatever they needed us to.

So who am I rooting for? Georgia or Bama? 

Bama if you believe the committee will exclude the SEC champion if FSU wins.

I don't trust the committee to leave out the SEC and put us in if FSU rolls Louisville. Better to not have to worry about it.

 

If FSU beats Louisville, then our only route in would be a Bama win. So this is kind of a head scratcher.

So... You'd rather the committee automatically let Georgia in if FSU rolls rather than giving us a chance if Alabama does? That is fucking stupid. 

[Modessit 5582]

It doesn't matter, although some think there's actually a chance the secsecsec gets left out if Bama wins. The secsecsec is in either way, fsu is the game that matters 

If you think the SEC is in no matter what, and Washington is already in, and Michigan is in, then if FSU blows out Louisville and gets in - that leaves us out. If the SEC winner is Bama that puts Bama in and leaves us out. Which would suck. Might as well just have Georgia win and hoped that even if FSU wins they look shitty enough to justify us going in over them.

Mainly because it's hard to envision any scenario where the SEC champion doesn't get in, regardless of what happened in Tuscaloosa in September.

What is this ESPN FPI bullshit? I see FSU is favored by just 1. So pretty much even money. But the FPI gives FSU a 72% chance to win

That's based on team stats. It doesn't take into account the QB injury(ies).

Texas is in over Bama. They played a game on the field and it was decisive.

I think Washington winning actually helped Texas. There is a 0.0% chance that the committee would have seen the error of their ways, admitted to being wrong, and put UT in over Oregon if both won. They would have wanted absolutely no part in trying to explain how a team with the [had they won] Heisman winner who beat an undefeated Top 3 team for their conference champion got jumped by a team that beat a 3-loss OSU. Zero point zero.

There was a 0.000000000001% chance that if Georgia won, Louisville won, and Oregon won extremely controversially with the NCAA coming out and admitting that UW got screwed and should have won, that a one-loss UW gets in over a UT that hypothetically struggled to beat OSU.

So both functionally zero, but you guys have spent 72 pages arguing about it, so congrats.

Then again, I have absolutely no idea what playing meaningful football in December feels like, so I can't judge.

It wouldn’t matter.  Udub would have been 1 loss team without conference championship.  They’d likely fall behind OSU.

Four undefeated finalists would be easier to stomach than getting left out because Alabama leapfrogs us.

Jesus fuck you're the stupidest dipshit on this thread.  Saying what they think will happen is not rooting for.  FFS.

[Modessit 5582]

If FSU beats Louisville, then our only route in would be a Bama win. So this is kind of a head scratcher. 

If FSU beats Louisville BIG, then we're out regardless. They aren't going to sit Bama for us despite the H2H. If FSU barely wins or loses, we aren't guaranteed with a Bama win. They could easily put Georgia in over us even when they shouldn't.

[BurntOrange&White 38710]

Per Bobby per ABC Tate Rodemaker is out tonight. 


Also FSU has a ton of pressure on them right now.

Yo, moron, the original question was who are we rooting for. 

[hornbri 1345]

Now that we have won here is how i see we can end up ranked. 

2 (with a Iowa, Bama, and Louisville win)

3 (with a combo of two of the above)

4 (with one of the above) 

5 (with none of the above) 

[Dahobbs 17089]

We aren't getting a lot of help early. 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3306]

Also to all the Georgia dickriders. If they lose, Texas slammed the door on any chance they would elevate UGA over us with their performance today. No chance that will happen now. If UGA loses they are 1000% out.

[Hmbre97 6252]

I feel even more confident now about us getting in over Bama regardless of the FSU game since we curb stomped OSU and the way the SEC game is going, I'd bet this is going to do down to the wire.

Okay dumbasses the committee has said time and time again and throughout the entire rankings that Alabama is not passing Texas right now. They mentioned that they don't care about when the wins happened they mentioned that they care where the wins happen and they have ranked UT>Bama all season long come on

[wild_turkey 3077]

I think we want Bama to win an ugly game. Something like 23-17 with a missed XP, couple missed FGs, lots of penalties or turnovers in the second half. Just nothing controversial to the point that people feel UGA got screwed out of a game they deserve to win.

That's before Alabama wins the SEC by beating the undefeated number one team in the country.

They also said strength of schedule, wins over quality opponents, etc were most important, then put Oregon above us because of completion percentage.

You're worried about the non final rankings. They never mattered.

Georgia is in with a win. Bama might be or might not be in with a win.

I think that the way Bama won last week on the last play will help us when they start looking at our games and a few squeakers and can say Bama has squeakers as well, including at the end of the season.

I don’t know why people keep saying the SEC will get left out.  Texas can rep the Big 12 and SEC; problem solved.  That’ll be $9.95.

I'm a convert... If Alabama wins and Louisville win... I think the order will be:

#1 Michigan

#2 Washington

#3 Alabama (for beating #1 Georgia)

#4 Texas

 

[Rickylovesweed 14076]

There is zero reason Georgia should get in over Texas if they lose this game. 

We have a conference championship and they don't. We have a #13 SOS and they have the #61 SOS. We have more top 25 wins. We have a win over a common opponent they lost to. 

This isn't even fucking close.
