   especially as, apparently, it was passed by four other teams that also aren't   
   playing this weekend?

   I'm using the current numbers.  One of the reasons, last week, I had a rematch   
   of Ohio State vs. Michigan in one of the semifinals, even though we all know   
   that not the case.   
      
   If Alabama loses to Georgia, there's a non-zero chance they fall out of the   
   New Year's Six completely and we end up with either Ohio State, Missouri, or   
   Penn State in the Orange.   
      
   > I would move Alabama to the Peach - I still don't see the committee putting   
   two Big Ten teams in the same bowl - and Texas against Missouri in the Cotton,   
   as I think the committee will feel that Missouri's fan base would travel   
   better to Texas than    
   Penn State's would.    
      
   If Alabama loses to Georgia, you have to make sure Alabama doesn't drop below   
   11 for that to work!   
      
   > Once all that is done, the next step for the management committee is to make   
   sure one of the schools submits legislation to the upcoming NCAA Convention to   
   change the bylaws to allow teams to play more than two nonconference   
   postseason games as part of    
   a multi-team tournament. (They should replace "conference championship game"   
   with "up to two games in a conference championship tournament" while they're   
   at it - it's only a matter of time.)   
      
   Oh yeah.  Especially if we get to just a stupid number of teams in each   
   conference.
