Texas lost to a 3-5 team in a game they never led and trailed most of the game by 2 scores. Utah lost a game at home by 24 points. Those two should not be as high as they are.

Oregon’s best win is Northwestern. Someone tell me why they’re 5-6 spots ahead of Virginia/Louisville other than the letters on their chest.

sec/b10. Utah is the outlier but they just got a ranked win over cincy. the others are in the acc
 
4-0 ( very very unlikely) and we’ll be on the bubble, probably the wrong side but its the bed we’ve made. Some style points instead of winning 27-24 would be nice but again very unlikely. In short we need a miracle.
 
Last year we had it in the bag, fell late, had some homer hope in the final rankings, and got left out to break out hearts.

This year we’ll lose in the middle, win out, have some homer hope late, and get left out to break hearts.

Think we finished 13th last year.

Watch us finish 12th this year and get bumped out by the G5 champ.

TrumpyCane could be wrong but the G5 champion can only be picked if ranked

Right now there is no G5 team ranked, we need Memphis to lose this weekend

Nah, top 5 conference champs get in. They’d rank whoever wins the AAC 25.

2-loss ND ahead (as they should be)
2-loss Utah ahead (as they should be)
2-loss Vandy ahead (eh but pretty comparable)
2-loss Texas and OU ahead (bleh but SEC, you knew it was coming).

I think USC is better than us, but they’ll have chances hosting Oregon, Iowa and a trip to Washington.

Lesson? don’t lose to inferior competition, and don’t lose two in three weeks right before the committee starts really evaluating the recent play of teams. We earned that 18th-place ranking.

Yep.

the committee generally prefers teams who get better as the year goes along not limp to the finish. winning 10 straight absolutely matters. we won our tough games and lost our easy ones.

I didn’t realize “body of work” meant who’s good from October through December. So like I said, cancel the game next year. What’s the point of playing it if it doesn’t matter? And never schedule another tough game before October.

Pitt can really, really help us out in the next 2 weeks

They play ND off a bye and then GT

TrumpyCane thinks beating ND, losing to GT helps us the most since we can expect GT to lose to UGA

No, we want Pitt to win out. Helps our resume if we beat them and gets ND and GT out of our way.
 
The average points scored per p4 team is 28. We cane barely score 30 against crap defense. We are losing at least one more.

The CFB Playoff Committee makes it up as they go.

Need chaos in the Big 12 and enough 3 loss SEC and B1G teams

Plus make the committee chose between a paper tiger 11-2 UVA team over 10-2 Miami for money and ratings.

Better odds if you play the lottery than Miami making it.

I went to Texas Kentucky. They were lucky to somehow win that one
