No matter what happens the rest of the day, Baylor will leapfrog Ole Miss and Notre Dame. Maybe Ohio State, they should jump them too, but I'm more skeptical the committee will do that.

CHONGS · « **Reply #151 on:** December 04, 2021, 03:28:45 PM »

I don't think they'll jump ND, but BTK leaving them might have an effect.

Georgia is 2 scores better than whoever the second best team is anyway

They're probably going to lose today.

Goodness, young has an absolute cannon.

We're looking now at:

Alabama
Georgia
Michigan (if they win)
Cincinnati?

IMO Notre Dame is looking pretty good to take the Big Ten slot if Michigan loses. I just don't see a two loss Baylor, Iowa, or Ohio State making it.

CHONGS · « **Reply #156 on:** December 04, 2021, 06:06:57 PM »

They won't have Alabama play Georgia back to back, so it will be:

1. Alabama
2. Michigan
3. Georgia
4. Cincinnati

If Michigan loses then I'd guess ND gets 4 Cincinnati gets 3 and Georgia 2.

The way Georgia is getting pantsed they really don't look like they should be in the playoff

wetwillie · « **Reply #158 on:** December 04, 2021, 06:17:24 PM »

Yea, should slide Baylor in there.

catastrophe · « **Reply #159 on:** December 04, 2021, 06:17:34 PM »

The odds of Georgia getting left out of the playoff is about the same as K-State getting in I think.

Bama goes to 1

Georgia goes to 3

ND? Hard to see Baylor jumping 5 spots, don’t think Ohio state gets in w 2 losses

Definitely Notre Dame, I still think we need to set the bracket up to where Bama and Georgia play immediately so they don’t play for the national title.

The pisser for Cincy is that their best win (Notre Dame) is going to be better than Michigan's best win (Ohio State) or Georiga's best win (Clemson) according to the BCS standings. Further, Cincinnati's second best win (11-2 Houston) is arguably better than Michigan's second best win (Iowa) or Georgia's second best win (Arkansas or Kentucky - take your pick).

Yet, Cincy, is going to be the No. 4 seed no matter what.

For all their hype, Georgia is going to enter the playoff having beaten four teams with winning records (Tennessee, Clemson, Arkansas and Kentucky) and likely only one team (Clemson) in the top 20 of the BCS standings.

It shouldn't be this way but it absolutely will.

sys · « **Reply #166 on:** December 04, 2021, 10:42:12 PM »

i'd put michigan #1 and then arrange the others however you need to so alabama and georgia don't play in the first game.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #167 on:** December 04, 2021, 11:12:06 PM »

Michigan is clearly #1 but I think they'll do what chingon has instead of moving Georgia all the way down to 4. Alabama was second after losing to A&M.

BIG APPLE CAT · « **Reply #168 on:** December 04, 2021, 11:14:10 PM »

I would prefer not to see bama and uga play again, but if I had to choose I’d much rather see them play in the semi than the championship game

MakeItRain · « **Reply #169 on:** December 04, 2021, 11:15:53 PM »

I want to see Cincinnati vs. Georgia again but there's no chance of that happening.

Cire · « **Reply #170 on:** December 04, 2021, 11:21:13 PM »

Alabama is 1
Mich/Georgia
Cinci

YES

The picture is now complete

SEC: Georgia fell apart, Alabama won convincingly, and now the SEC has two teams in.

Big 10: Michigan is in.

Big XII: Gundy gonna Gundy. OSU had multiple trips inside the 10 and just couldn't get it done. The game rates as 10 out of 10 as far as excitement goes, but Okie Light was in control of its own destiny, and let it slip away. The Big XII cannibalizes itself again.

Pac: xxx

ACC: xxx

Others: Congratulations to Cincinnati on becoming the first G5 team to make the playoffs!

The only other thing worth mentioning is this quote from CFP selection committee chair Gary Barta

Quote

The committee gave no consideration to avoiding a rematch between the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs in the first round when seeding the teams.

Which we all know is complete and total horseshit.

Why do they just lie like that. Everyone knows what is going on.

Cincinnati is going to beat Saban like a drum.
