CFP Possibilities

I want Georgia to win a third straight in a bad way, but don’t think this team has what it takes. With that being said if it’s not Georgia go some other non-sec team. With a couple exceptions no Ohio State or Michigan

 

A CFP without an SEC team would be like Corn Flakes without Milk. Even if BAMA and UGA had losses, they'd be capable of beating any of the ones in the CFP. Can't help it if they play in the toughest conference while the others have only a few challenges.

 

This. You can't have the SEC Invitation with out a SEC team being there. LoL

 

1st ....I'm not sure FSU gets through the rest of their schedule undefeated...let alone a conference championship. Same exactly with Texas. So that would only leave two teams.

 

Good ol boy conference BE DAMNED

SEC sucks

 

Someone sounds like a big 12 fan, or should I say ....little dozen???

 

A She She?

 

LoL.

 

I think the problem comes from if Bama, Georgia, and Texas all have 1 loss. Texas beat Bama head to head. If Bama beats GA, that would eliminate GA from contention. Texas beat Bama, same record, Texas gets in. Texas and 3 unbeaten teams. Bama and GA could still be better teams but I don’t know how it works any other way. In the OP scenario that is. The committee would still find a way I’m sure. We see games, for them it’s business.

 

Last year's National Championship is all they need to look at. Everyone that is honest knows Bama doesn't get blown out like that. Come on....even TCU fans couldn't watch after half time. A 50 point blowout is enough to say You don't belong.

 

I was only commenting on the OP. The premise is if 3 teams finish undefeated, and Bama beats GA. I think the Big12 champion that beat the SEC champion head to head has a very real chance of getting that 4th spot. Talking this scenario only.

That being the case, I don’t think the SEC lets that happen to start with. If things played out exactly that way leading up to the SEC championship game, sorry Bama you’re taking one for the team. No way the SEC risks missing the CFP.

My hope is AU wins the IronBowl and Ole Miss sneaks into the SEC championship.

 

Well. I actually have a feeling that there will be only two undefeated teams by the time the playoffs role around.
Actually I would love to see that also. LoL. Chaos. LoL

 

I think if Bama were to lose to AU they would then have 2 losses.

Also, what if Mich loses to PSU, then beats OSU?

The playoff has unofficially started. That absolutely is what makes the season fun. I don’t know if adding teams will help or hurt that. Fans just want a chance at a shot. Conferences just want to make money. I guess we’ll find out which format we each like better.

 

Just realized my mistake. You are correct. Even if Bama loses the Iron Bowl that’s 1 loss in conference. 2 overall but the conference championship only goes by conference losses. CFP is overall.

 

JMO, but I think 6- 8 would have been perfect, but 12 is too many.

 

Ole Miss has the coaching, but not the horses. That's why they can't compete yet. Just watch Bama, Georgia , and usually Ohio State teams.....they constantly rotate Guys in that are as good as most starters on most teams. It's very hard to compete with that for a full game. While the Teams they face are bringing in guys that are less than as rotation. It makes it tough. I see it all the time. Teams hang for the first 3 quarters, and then the levee breaks. Too much pressure.

 

SEC and Big10 didn’t want to play in the 8 team version. But I agree that was the way to do it.
