The fact that tOSU would be favored or looks better is not going to be       relevant. They'd be a 13-0 conference champion with enough decent wins that       you couldn't keep them        out, even if nobody really believes they are one of the top 4 teams in the       country.               That's what SHOULD happen.              But if nobody believes they're one of the best four, especially with Ohio       State floating around somewhere in the muck, doubly so if Alabama beats       Georgia, then how do you vote them in?              That's going to make this week's rankings interesting. How far do you drop       Ohio State?               > Here is how things break down and it's very simple:        >        > -Michigan is going to easily beat Iowa and get in. Thinking about whether or       not michigan would get in without beating iowa is silly because Iowa is       terrible.               Then realign the Big Ten YESTERDAY. Because that entire division is shit and       has no business sending a team to the B10CG.              None.              Be thankful that conference is being realigned, because, barring some real       changes, even a shit USC or UCLA should RSFCk the Big Ten West in football.              > -The georgia/Bama winner is in(Georgia #1 overall likely if they win). As       for 1 loss champion bama v 1 loss champion texas, yes Texas fans are going to       complain and maybe they have a point. but the reality is that the win over       georgia would just be too        big. You beat the two time defending champ who has won 29 straight and is       #1......that win is so huge it overcomes any hth deficit. But georgia is       likely to win and probably easily(since alabama isn't very good)               And you just gave the case as to how Florida State can and WILL (IMODO) get       fucked. Michigan and Bama win, you get a CFP of Michigan-Pac12        inner-Bama-Georgia.              > -The washington/oregon winner is also in. probably oregon. And the loser is       obviously out.               Yep.               > So right there that's three spots- Michigan, the georgia/bama winner(likely       georgia), and the oregon/washington winner(likely oregon)               You can probably lock them in right now regardless of whether Michigan beats       Iowa. There really is only one spot in some dispute right now.               > That leaves one spot between FSU, Texas, and tOSU. Here is how that will be       awarded:        > -if FSU beats Lville, they are in and get the spot.               They gotta show the Committee something, or you state yourself in another post       that you believe at least one of the other two teams is better, even if FSU is       13-0.              > -If FSU loses, they are out and then Texas is next up. If Texas wins the       big12 championship game and FSU loses to Lville, Texas gets the last spot.               The win over Bama definitely helps. That's for sure. But then you best hope,       if you're Texas, you and Bama both win and the Committee respects the HTH --       and you don't think they will (see above).               Mike              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
