If you're on your phone, the formatting is messed up. I'll see if I can figure out how to change it.


EDIT: I Fixed It.

Michigan beats Wisconsin
Tcu loses one to Texas or Oklahoma

Anybody else notice how Wisconsin may not face a single ranked team until the Big10 Championship Game? Their toughest game is Michigan, and they don't look too good right now.

Scenarios that worry me even if we win out:

-That Ohio state schedule. If they are ahead of us now and we both win out we are not moving past them.

-Georgia and Alabama meeting undefeated, and Georgia winning. could absolutely see a committee putting both teams in if that is a close game.





I think we need this to happen, or we will be looking at getting snubbed for a 1 loss team in either SEC or Big 10

1. Bama - wins out
2. Penn - wins out
3. TCU - wins out
4. Miami - wins out
 
Wisconsin will have problems with Michigan and Iowa. Kirk gets a job-saving victory every season.

I think there is a pretty good chance the Big 12 doesn't get in the playoff. Oklahoma already has a bad loss and if TCU trips up, they're done. They don't have a conference championship game, right?

Pac 12 has been pretty lame, so they could easily get left out, too.

If UGA and Bammy both arrive in Atlanta undefeated and it's a close game, I would be shocked if the winner doesn't still get in the playoff.

That leaves 4 playoff spots to be filled by SEC, SEC, B1G, and ACC.

I think the Big12 just instituted a championship game this year. You're right about the Pac12, though, because no one in that conference has a chance of making it, in my opinion. As far as including two SEC teams go, it depends on if their conference championship game is close enough to warrant that decision.
 
Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Clemson have no business being ranked ahead of us, but pretty egregious that they ALL are. There is an argument for Georgia, but their only impressive win is ND, but the fact that their ranking isn't even being questioned shows that they're riding an overvalued conference name, even though they are probably in the worst division in P5.

In a world without pre-season rankings, I think the correct ranking should be as follows:

1) Alabama
2) TCU
3) Penn Rape
4) or 5) [interchangeable] Miami / UGA
6) ND
7) Clemson
8) Wisconsin
9) or 10) or 11) or 12) or 13) [interchangeable] Oklahoma / NC State / Washington / Washington State / Virginia Tech
14) or 15) or 16) or 17) [interchangeable] Michigan State / Ohio State / UCF / USF

Penn St having to beat OSU and Michigan St back to back could be a tall order. TCU has a rough time ahead as well. At this stage of the season there is no reason to believe that there were wont be any more upsets this year
 
Everyone wanted these 14 team super conferences. What you get is a more boring regular season. Wisconsin 10 years ago would have played all the big guys in the Big 10 now they rummage through garbage until the championship game. Same thing with the ACC, would could be playing Clemson, Louisville NC State yearly but we have to **** around with Pitt and Syracuse.
