So tonight is just about if we jump Utah?

For me, it’s whether we jump Utah AND stay ahead of Vandy. If neither happens, we are cooked!!!

For me, it's jumping Utah, and we should. Even if Vanderbilt jumps, they still have to play UT. The outcome there will determine their spot, because even if they don't jump this week but win next week, they will jump us then.
 
Also seeing what they do with ND. If we jump Utah and don't get jumped by Vandy then they will be forced to put us ahead of ND according to their criteria or else be proven as liars. I'm sure they'll allow Vandy to jump us to avoid that situation. I wouldn't even be surprised to see them jump Oklahoma to also keep that buffer.

You have the right idea HOWEVER, there is a very interesting but illogical outcome based entirely on TIMING.

If we jump Utah, and ND and Vandy stay put. That means we have entered ND's quadrant this week. If the committee says theyll do what they should, then we shouldn't only go up to 12. We should go higher and ahead of ND or atleast ND behind us. Bama. ByU, Miami, ND, different variations but point being is we wont be at #12, we will be higher. Which should protect us against Vandy winning this week.

Now of they jump Vandy ahead of us this week (and drop utah) leaving us where we are. We are stuck there if vandy wins next week.

So even though it shouldn't be the case, its actually very important for us to get into the ND quadrant this week. It may provide very necessary cushion of teams like vandy or Michigan win next week as ND could be the first out or BYU instead of us.

Lol imagine the crying if we flew up past ND after they just won 70-7

I think it would be them reshuffling. Would prolly look like this

9 - Bama
10 - Miami
11 - ND
12 - BYU

But yea, ND and BYU would be furious.
that ranking is what it should be now

BYU controls their own destiny.. they can be mad about being behind a 2 loss team but they get to play Texas Tech again and if they lose twice to the same team they should be out.. if they win they are in

bama should be ahead of that whole group

miami should be ahead of ND

Agreed. They can't move ND ahead of OU. So now the discussion is why is ND ahead of Bama, Especially with NDs sole quality win being SC who just got their 3rd loss. Bama has better wins than ND and should be ahead of them. If they start making the ND has better losses than Bama that SEC machine will chew them up and spit them out.
