naptownskinsfan Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thoughts? Lots of moving in the top 10 after the past week, very curious to hear everyone's take about 4-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkfan191 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 so what happens if Bama, Texas and Northwestern win their respective conferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raves Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 3 minutes ago, Hawkfan191 said: You think Georgia would stay in even if Bama wins convincingly? Considering the other options are 3+ loss conference champs or possibly an undefeated UCF that doesn't have their star QB... the only other option is to take the best 2 loss non-conference champ and I think that would be how they decide to go meaning out of 11-2 Georgia, 11-2 Oklahoma, and 11-2 Ohio State, you pick the one you think is the best which is Georgia. It does also open up the door for UCF just to say they would give them the shot if they win their conference championship game and shut up the group of 5, but we would be wondering if Alabama would bench their starters after the 1st quarter in that game.

NateDawg Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 No huge surprises. The biggest head scratcher is Michigan being ranked ahead of UCF. If UGA gets stomped and OSU and OU lose, who makes sense at 4 based on the logic of these rankings? I know those things are not all going to happen, but I would have thought they’d have left some sort of way there. You know UM has no way in. Would they really stick UGA in? All in all, no surprises in the top 6. I think we mostly expected it to look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way Georgia gets in with this scenario is if they play Alabama close in the SEC Championship. If Ohio State, Oklahoma lose and Georgia loses convincingly you might see UCF sneak in. Or possibly even Michigan sneak back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the way that Ohio State beat Michigan, there is no way Michigan gets back into the picture. I think UCF would have a chance in Georgia loses convincingly, but if they are taking a .2 loss non-conference champion, then it's more than likely going to be Georgia. Maybe Oklahoma if it's another game like the one they lost vs Texas previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 IMO, Oklahoma is a lock to get in if they win, unless one/multiple of the following happens, then it could get interesting: *Georgia upsets Alabama *Clemson gets stunned by Pitt could pave the way for them to fall out of the Top 4 and both OU and OSU to get in with wins (unlikely) *OSU completely destroys Northwestern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastercheddaar Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 For sake of argument please assume Clemson win out and ND does not drop from #3. Georgia is... "Win and they are in". Bama can win or lose. I don't think it matters. They'll go as an at large or as a conference champion. If they lose then it doesn't matter what UCF, OSU, or OU does. OU needs to win and Bama to win. OSU needs to win and OU to lose and Bama to win. UCF needs to win and OU and OSU to lose and Bama to win AND the committee to take pity on them. scUM needs UCF, OU and OSU to lose and Bama to win. No one past scUM can make the playoffs. My prediction? #1 Bama v #4 OU - Bama wins #2 Clemson v #3 ND - Clemson wins. #1 Bama v #2 Clemson - ???? I think both teams are pretty close in talent and it would make for a good game. tOSU wins the Rose bowl vs Wash. Bowl match ups I think I'd like to see: UCF v Florida scUM v Georgia Penn State v Wash State LSU v Texas KY v WV I know there are certain bowl formats that they need to follow but I think these would make for good games come new year's eve week. That is all mastercheddaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 UM is OUT no matter what after that beatdown last week. Even if OU/OSU and UGA all lose, UM still has 2 losses, which so does OSU, who absolutely throttled them head to head. Only UCF would even have a remote chance in a doomsday scenario where everyone loses except Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Pardon me for being clueless, but who exactly has 'Bama played? Their strength of schedule has taken a big hit. The SEC is pretty lackluster this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
