No fuck Miami.... The only school I feel bad for is South Carolina

Fuck them too!

They have two home losses. Their best wins are aggy and a Clemson team that was CRUSHED by Georgia AND they lost to Alabama.

They got goat fucked by the refs in the LSU game. They should have 2 losses

Alabama is exactly why we shouldn't schedule anybody worth a shit in non-conference.

Their best opponent in non-conference is 5-7 Wisconsin. A 2 loss SEC team will make the playoffs and a 3 loss SEC team has a shot to make it even with a shitty ass non-conference schedule. There is zero incentive to play good teams in non-conference and risk a loss. 

I mean, Wisconsin is a top tier OOC by SEC standards. Bama did also play lowly Texas the last 2 years.

Miami was given two gift wins thanks to refball and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them???

Refball was pretty important in South Carolina's win last week as well. I hate using refs as an excuse, but they have been exceptionally bad this season

Such an absurd double standard. If the name on Bama’s jersey was “Texas”, and the Longhorns were sitting at 8-3 with that same schedule — no one would be considering us for a spot. 

Bama is 9-3 and to be fair they have earned that respect to be considered with the last 13 years of their play. If this were 2008 or 2009 Texas would be in the same conversation. And hopefully Texas keeps things rolling so we are getting that same nod over the next few years.

Not if Oregon wins. 

The question was about if Oregon loses. I think everyone is saying their opinion based on that premise.

Do we know what round 2 game/bowl we will be in if we win this Saturday??  Is it certain? 

I'd like to ensure I have the next morning off from work..

Last playoff going to work was a very tough time.  Struggle bus city.

I don't think it's set in stone but I think they said something like in general they would like it:

Rose - B10

Fiesta - B12

Peach - ACC

Sugar - SEC

Assuming Boise would also land in the Fiesta.

Who cares about this week. Alignment happens next week.

1 Oregon
2 Texas
3 SMU
4 Arizona state
5 notre dame

Then the ratings fun begin. Bama at 12 will magically move up and Boise state will fall to 12. Can’t have bama and ND play in the first round, that will eliminate a lot of fans.

Also, if Texas does lose, they will bump ND for the 5th spot because conference game.

Umm… if you put a gun to my head I’m picking Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State and considering Notre Dame. We will have a chance against anyone, but our offense is a problem.

3 loss B12 patsy doesn't deserve to jump BSU imo. They've played good ball all season.

Even if you are hosting a first round game coming off a conf championship game, you still get a bye, if you will.

First round starts Dec 20/21st

If you get a 1st round bye, you don't play until Dec 31st/Jan 1.

I know it probably won’t happen but current bracket shows that we could play Georgia 3 times this season.

They will definitely adjust this to prevent rematches early.

An immediate 3rd Texas Georgia game is regarded. I hope the committee just reseeds this shit Sunday. They can make up any excuse to justify it.

Yeah that’s gonna change. They won’t want rematches or same conferences playing till the semis at least.

Texas/Uga 3 would be something 

Not unless it’s in the title game.

Agreed. Feel only Oregon or Texas losing gets 5 over ND. Anyone else losing will be 6 or lower.

That’s a long fucking time off. Even if the health improves you chance being rusty as shit against a good team that just won a playoff game.

With a win, Texas’ first game would be the quarterfinal. CFP says they will try to match the conference champs with their traditional bowl- so Texas would go to the Sugar Bowl as SEC champ. 
 
After the quarterfinals, the top remaining seed picks its preferred site for a semifinal game

from the two choices: Cotton and Orange. I assume that if Texas gets the choice, it will be the Cotton Bowl game (Arlington). If Texas’ opponent chooses, it will be the Orange Bowl.

Disagree. Saban isn't there anymore, they got handled for 4 quarters by Vandy, and more importantly, lost late in the season to a shitty OU team by 3 scores. That last loss should have ended their chances. 

If 3 loss teams are getting in, they need to reward teams that get hot and make a run to end the season (like South Carolina).

A 3 loss Alabama that includes that thumping they took from a very shitty ou team should disqualify them from the top 20, probably shouldn't even be ranked.

No, there are actually more games to play before the brackets are set.

For everyone bitching about Bama, who in the fuck should be ranked ahead of them?  I'm sorry - they are MUCH more deserving than fucking Miami.  It was pretty straight forward from my perspective. 

The real test is what they do if Clemson beats SMU.

2 loss Texas would not be above 1 loss Notre dame.  

Strong disagree absent a blowout loss.  I hope we don't have to find out but I'm pretty confident they aren't going to overly penalize teams that are actually playing an extra game.

Either Miami or Ole Miss, depending on whether you reward good wins or punish bad losses more. There is no contortion of logic that allows BOTH of them to be behind Alabama.

Huh?  Ole Miss has the "worst" loss of those 3.

If both Texas and Oregon lose then I think 6, but yes, one of those 4.   To be clear, considering the potential for movement behind it's impossible to know whether 6 is really better than 7, for example, from a matchup standpoint but it will be one of those.  They are going to maneuver spots 5/12 in all sorts of ways to avoid rematches and, if possible, intra-conference round 1 games, just like we see in basketball.  I'll be shocked if the final bracket isn't extremely appealing from a TV matchup standpoint.  At the end of the day that is really their (unspoken) job.

ND's SOS sucks and their loss is to a MAC team who is 7-5 at Home and their biggest win is aggy.   we would have 2 losses to the SEC champ.  by every available metric other than loss column we should be #5 but Notre Dame will get it because...reasons and get a walk to the semis

I said upthread that Bama would be my choice.  It's not clear cut by any means, but I don't think it's favoritism this year either.
