As teams keep falling out, playoffs coming into more focus.  Miss St is out.  Ohio St, which is a bummer for them, is probably going to be left out.  Not even sure they beat Wisconsin next week.

 

Right now we'll have Alabama, Oregon, FSU, TCU/Baylor.  

 

Alabama and Oregon I think are the two best teams in the country.  Both have tough matchups next week in the championship games but I think both will win.  Especially with the playoffs on the line.  

 

Who knows about FSU.  They're playing worse and worse with each passing week.  GaTech played well yesterday but they'll need to play better.  They cant rely on FSU to fumble at the goaline twice like UGA did.  Or rely on one of those "Mark Richt specials" where he basically put them in FG range at the end of the regulation.  With Tech's running game if they can control the clock and if they make sure they can turn those drives into touchdowns, they could definitely win.

 

TCU/Baylor remains the interesting one. TCU should cruise next week.  Baylor has a tough game against Kansas St.  Will be interesting to see who the committee chooses.  Personally I think if TCU and Baylor played 100 times on a neutral field that TCU would win more than half of them.

Assuming TCU takes the fourth spot..


I wonder what would happen in a few scenarios...


Who would get in if FSU loses? Probably Baylor or Georgia tech?


And what if FSU and Baylor both lose?


Is that spot Georgia tech getting in or if Mizzou can take bama to the wire but still lose, do you think Mizzou gets the fourth spot?

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

If Bama/Oregon/FSU all win, then itll be TCU/Baylor.

 

If one of the Bama/Oregon/FSU lose, assuming Baylor beats Kansas St you have to think both TCU and Baylor are in.  Although what if Ohio St can beat Wisconsin with their backup QB?  Why not them instead of both Big12 teams?

 

If two of Bama/Oregon/FSU lose, I'm not sure what happens.  It'll be interesting to see their rankings.  Arizona may jump up to at least 7 with all the teams in front of them losing.  if they beat Oregon again, and a team like FSU drops a game, why not Arizona?

Ohio State will get in with a win and Oregon or Alabama loss. Of course I doubt the Buckeyes will get any help from Missouri, but Arizona already beat Oregon earlier this year. Because Florida State goes to Charlotte undefeated, I don't see a way the Seminoles get kicked out of the final four by losing there. Obviously Texas Christian will move up to #4 and Baylor has no chance without help from all four teams in conference championship games.

You can't make a case against the Buckeyes if they beat Wisconsin. That would mean their defense stopped Melvin Gordon and the entire offense is good enough to help Cardale Jones get the job done. I think if Ohio State loses, Baylor gets in no matter what Arizona does.
