Best Saturday of the season and I'm going to have to work through the bulk of it. Sigh.

Whereas tomorrow is my first day off in 12 days \:D/

[NOLA]

Top 3 team most likely to go down tomorrow?

I have a weird feeling that Miss State is going to give BAMA all they want.

[SouthSideRyan]

I like Auburn.

I'm not the first person to say so, but all the talk about Alabama and Georgia going 12-0 makes me think at least one is going down tomorrow.

[NOLA]

I like Auburn.

I like Georgia to roll. Auburn and their QB are no match for that D. Plus Auburn’s D hasn’t seen a running attack like Georgia.

 

I’m all in on Miss State now. BAMA always has trouble with running QBs and Fitzgerald is solid.

[soccer10k]

With Washington's loss last night, we're down to 8 teams with 0 or 1 loss and we'll only end up with 6 max. TCU and OU play today and one of Miami/ND/Clemson will get to 2 losses also (if Miami loses today but win their other games they'll get Clemson in the ACC title game). We very easily could end up with a two loss team in the playoff.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ohio State will be in the playoff.

 

Also, somebody please put Mike Patrick out to pasture.

[Derwood]

Ohio State fans were really worried that Sparty would win this one. Whoops

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Also, somebody please put Mike Patrick out to pasture.

should’ve happened 20 years ago

[Transmogrified Tiger]

pretty excited for the Big 12 having a 4 way tie at the top after they finally added a championship game

I think it'd be more fun for 1 loss Oklahoma to get knocked out of the playoff by losing an extra game.

 

ETA: If Iowa State wins this game, it'd be them and West Virginia winning a 4-way tiebreaker hahahahahaha.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Iowa has both 14 points and 14 total yards of offense. woof.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Auburn is about to go up 3 scores on Georgia late in the 3rd

Looking pretty likely right now.

[We Got The Whole 9]

TD Auburn

 

About to be 30-7 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd

[Derwood]

Georgia craps the bed every year. EVERY YEAR

[NOLA]

So I was wrong.

[soccer10k]

 

Love this headline. So if the Oklahoma player had been in a position to defend himself the TCU player wouldn't have been ejected?

[Andy]

Right, this is what happens every time ND ever has a chance to be relevant. Now I remember

[Derwood]

Alabama is just too good

[OleMissCub]

Top 4 seems kinda obvious:

 

1. Bama

2. Clemson

3. Oklahoma

4. Miami

[soccer10k]

So the top-4 will be Bama, Clemson, OU and Miami. No idea after that and it will be interesting to see what they do. The committee hasn't shied away from putting a 1-loss team ahead of an undefeated team but I don't think they'll put a 2-loss Auburn ahead of Wisconsin. So then, how do they deal with Georgia and Auburn? I would guess they'll just put Wisconsin at 5 and the Georgia/Auburn stuff will sort itself out over the next three weeks (either Auburn beats Bama and there's a rematch in the SEC title game or Bama wins and Auburn drops out.

 

The order of the rest of the two loss teams will also give us an idea of who gets in if multiple other teams slip up. Guessing Auburn will be the highest rated 2-loss followed by OSU.

No way Auburn is ahead of Wisconsin. I’m really surprised there’s isn’t more talk about them being playoff contenders. With just Minnesota and Michigan left on heir schedule, they have a strong chance of going into the title game undefeated.
