All the undefeated are in with wins. So it would probably be Michigan, Washington and then Texas/FSU at 3 and 4 in some order. Sorry if it wasn’t clear what I meant it was in your first scenario.
-
Texas gets the 4th spot in that scenario.
-
Has Brandon Staley been fired yet?
-
There is precedent for that. The year after their title FSU had a ton of close wins but stayed undefeated. That team was ranked 3rd behind a pair of 1 loss teams.
-
Except this isn’t the transitive property. It would be two teams with similar resumes, both 12-1 and both conference champions. And one of them went to the other’s stadium and won convincingly. If it comes down to Texas or Bama, the choice should be very easy.
-
And Texas wouldn’t be? It’s not like we’re debating Bama vs any non OU/Texas Big 12 team here. I do understand the cynicism with Bama though. I think it’s more likely the committee finds a way to put them in over Oregon instead. Assuming both win, they’d both have a loss to a top-10 team, Bama would have 4 ranked wins while Oregon would only have 2. Of course the committee currently has Oregon ahead of Bama.
-
I mean I guess if Texas wins like a super ugly 2 point game and Bama demolishes Georgia then maybe. But the latter result seems very unlikely. And I don’t think Alabama has some crazy resume that puts them over the top.
-
So... -Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida St are all in with a win. -Oregon is probably the only 1-win team that's in with a win. -Texas probably needs two of the undefeated teams to lose or they need one to lose and Washington to beat Oregon. -If Bama wins they jump Georgia but you can't put Bama over a 1-loss Texas. Bama needs two of the non-Georgia teams above them to lose. -Ohio St would need Georgia, Oklahoma St and Louisville to all win. And maybe Washington too since that would eliminate the chance of two Pac-12 teams getting in. So we'd end up with Georgia, Michigan, Washington (or Oregon) and OSU.

That’s totally fair. I was just comparing the stats since Andy just mentioned another QB who was awful as a rookie but still become a star. More goes into it than just stats though Allen also had a sub 60% completion percentage in college so when he was at 52.8% as a rookie, there was a lot of bust talk with him.
-
Bryce Young currently has a better completion percentage, QB rating, TD to INT ratio and a lower interception percentage than Josh Allen did as a rookie.
-
Don’t forget about a 1 loss Texas. There’s no way they get left out at 12-1 if Bama goes 12-1 and gets in.
-
Playing off the old Tarkanian quote, the Premier League was so mad at Man City for breaching the profitability and sustainability rules that they docked Everton 10 points today.
-
I understand in this case you’re going to see the Warriors, but if you want to go to a game and don’t care who the team is playing, just find an unpopular team. At least for the Kings out here, they usually have deals throughout the year. So in years past they have Black Friday deals where you can get discounted tickets. We bought a half season plan the first year they were in the new arena and now I’m on a friends and family list where I can get tickets without fees for Kings games and other events at the arena. But yeah, the prime games are stupid expensive. At the old Kings arena, I paid more to sit upper deck to see a bad Lakers team because they had Kobe and are a popular team than I did to sit about 12 rows up in the lower bowl to see the Lob City Clippers.
-
Draymond going to get a couple games for this one.
-
Philly trading Harden and starting 8-1 while the Clippers are 3-6 is hilarious.
-
Glad I kept reading the thread before replying because I was going to post the same thing.
-
LOL
-
I saw it similar to the straight red Liverpool got against Spurs and the Romero red against Chelsea. There wasn't malicious intent but it's still a dangerous play and probably a deserved red.
-
Games left: If ManU loses to Galatasaray, they're out. If they tie or beat Galatasaray, they're still probably going to need at least a draw, and maybe a win, against Bayern in the last match week. Now, you might be thinking well that shouldn't be too hard. They're at home and Bayern has already won the group. However Bayern has won 16 straight group stage games and is unbeaten in their last 37 in the group stage. Coming into today, I figured they'd beat Copenhagen and still get out of the group. Now, I'm not so sure.
-
The length of review is definitely a huge issue in all sports. If it’s close enough that it’s going to take 4 minutes to review it, leave the call as is and move on. Limit these things to 60 seconds at most and be done with it.
-
I'll give Klopp and Arteta half a pass because the two calls (offside for Liverpool, non-foul for Arsenal) were pretty bad. Klopp's problem is he didn't leave it at that. He kept ranting about the red cards too, which was dumb. Arteta I thought it was funny that he said the call cost them 3 points. It cost them 1 since Arsenal couldn't score. The foul is at least open to interpretation. The offsides call is black and white and there's no reason to get that thing wrong. But overall I agree. They just complain for the sake of complaining. It's one reason why I can't stand Mourinho or Conte either. Like you said, nothing is their fault. They like to take credit for wins but blame anything other than themselves for losses.
-
I wasn’t watching today, just listening to a radio broadcast until halftime. Vicario has been a great acquisition so far this year and it sounded like he was really good again today. Lloris was starting to get a bit shaky at the end and it’s always nice to have faith in your GKer.
-
The sports universe is cruel. The Cubs hire Counsell and Spurs need less than 6 minutes to take the lead against Chelsea. Since then Romero got sent off and conceded a penalty because he’s a dumbass who makes a bunch of over aggressive challenges. Then our best CB injured his hamstring and Maddison also goes off injured.
-
Well we know GR’s alternate account now.
-
Boy I didn’t see this one coming. Seemed like he was ticketed for New York.
