Michigan I think is going to have an easy time. They're just a far better team.

I see TCU and Georgia having close games for a half but then pulling away for comfortable wins.

USC on the other hand is in a dog fight. It's in Vegas, so no real home field advantage. Utah won the first matchup, so does that give confidence to Utah, or put a bigger chip on USC's shoulder?  The line is USC by 2.5.   I think USC has been over achieving all year. I'm picking Utah by a point. 

So Georgia, Michigan, and TCU are in.

Last of the four playoff spots: Ohio State.    

Two Big 10 teams. What is the world coming to.

This is where brand power comes into play. If TCU loses, the committee would likely put in Ohio State and drop TCU. USC may suffer the same fate if they lose, but I think TCU is at a greater risk of being left out with a loss than USC simply because they aren’t a college football blue blood like USC or Ohio State.

Agreed.  They screwed TCU in 2014 for Ohio St. and didn't give them a shot in 2010.  They screwed Okie St. in 2011 for a Bama mulligan.

Fuck all of what you just said. Fuck TCU. And fuck this SEC type of thinking. TCU winning doesn’t benefit Texas at all so why would we root for them to make the playoff? 

Realistically, we don't recruit against TCU.  We recruit against Alabama, Ohio St., Clemson, UGA, USC and then OU and aggy.

I guess you’re also a fan of 1984 BYU? I’m more impressed by the Buckeyes’ 11-1, given that they clobbered the pedestrian teams they played. TCU barely escaped TT and OSU at home. 

Who are better than everyone Ohio St. played but ND, Michigan and PSU.

Pedo didn’t beat a ranked team or a team with fewer than 4 losses either.

I guess I'll be the only one watching the mighty Sun Belt on Saturday?

(Wife is a Troy grad. We debated heading up there for the game, as it's only a couple of hours from where we are now, but we've got other things already scheduled for Saturday)

Sun Belt has been sneaky good this year with multiple power 5 wins from the middle of the pack teams. Coastal Carolina back in the championship game after another year season, but got thrashed by James Madison last week (ineligible for the championship game as this is their first season since moving up. Don't understand that rule.) And will Grayson McKall play? Head coach on the radio said unless he progresses very quickly, likely will be unable to go.

Troy has been sneaky good and, imo, very underrated. 10-2 season with losses to Ole Miss and at App State on a hail mary. If not for the hail mary, they'd be undefeated in conference and they are riding a 9 game winning streak. Defense has been phenomenal (SP+ ranked 8th I believe). 5'8" Mike backer who was a former walk on now tops the NCAA career tackles list. First year head coach was an assistant at Kentucky last year. Offense, on the other hand, is complete dog shit at times (minus an outstanding sophomore RB, who went for over 200 last game and eclipsed 1000 for the season). If Grayson doesn't play, this defense is certainly good enough to win a 10-7 or 17-10 type game 

Grayson McCall is still at Coastal? Feels like he is on the Timmy Chang 7-year eligibility plan.

Michigan and Georgia are in 100%

USC is 100% in with a win, and 100% out with a loss

TCU is 100% in with a win OR most likely in with a USC loss, a loss to K State AND a USC win and they are replaced by Ohio State.

I don’t see anyone else breaking into the playoffs outside of the top 4 and Ohio State.

A 2 loss team hasn’t cracked the playoff yet and I don’t see it happening for the first time this year.

I don't disagree with this analysis but Ohio State (IMO) belongs nowhere near a 4-team playoff immediately after getting their asses handed to them by Michigan at their home stadium.

I think KSU is going to beat the frogs

Based on what? TCU's defense is good enough to stop them and K-State looks kind of meh on defense themselves.

Knock on wood, I don't feel that nervous about the game tomorrow.  Utah needed a ton of breaks to get a last minute 1 point win over USC at home.  I won't go on about the specifics unless somebody asks, but it's unlikely they stumble on as many horseshoes this time around.  Utah is also a totally different team away from home than they are in Salt Lake City, where they really feed off their crowd and benefit from thin air that gasses visitors.  Ignoring the empty stadium Covid season, they haven't lost a home game since 2018.  Going back to 2018 (again tossing out 2020) they are just 15-14 in road games and neutral sites.  Play Utah away from home and they're a .500 team.

Well then, I revise my take based on new info and I think the top 4 win and we have a boring selection Sunday.

Anyone know of an internet stream for the CUSA Championship game - UTSA hosting UNT? My cable doesn’t have CBSSN. My CBS sports app tells me I don’t have access as well.

Hook’em!

I don’t think that was wood you knocked on.

Not that I am too worried about an Ohio state rematch I just think it would be dumb as shit to play them again after they just got beat by over 3TDs at home.

Put them in the 4 seed and fuck bama. TCU should remain 3 with a win or loss today. A two loss bama over TCU who will have beat every team they played is fucking dumb.

So with USC's loss, TCU has got to be in the CFP win or lose today... right? 

Dont leave it up to this assclown selection committee because you know they will bow down to Satan and gargle his balls.

Never underestimate the Selection Committee's ability to ignore Alabama losses.

I'm thinking no.  TCU is just not attractive.  They've had a great year but I'm afraid a TCU loss opens the door for bama or tOSU. Better brands.  Probably not fair, but......

Probably a lot of incoming wire transfers from the Cayman Islands to the Big 12 Ref office as we type.

It's not just Alabama's losses...TCU actually has a better resume. More wins and less losses against top 25 teams.

Right but the fart huffing brigade has proven in the past that they prefer marquee over results. This is why the BCS should be brought back to perform the rankings.

Also, common opponent should be taken into consideration. TCU beat us worse than Bama did.

I'm on the Go Frogs boat. I'm old fashioned in that I care about the reputation of the conference we're in. It reflects on the quality of our own victories and defeats. I suppose some asshole will now contort that into saying that I would chant the conference's name. Not true. It's just a rooting interest.

Other than A&M, I prefer rooting for a team than against a team. I don't hate the Aggies, but they literally hate us, so it must be considered. I despise them. Of course, if there's a clear, specific advantage for Texas, my rooting interest may change. 

I like many teams even though I'm Longhorn through and through. I like the stories of college football. Go Frogs.

Forgot to add that I don't want to see tOSU and Alabama backing into the playoff. For God's sake, let's have somebody new. I rarely watch the rematches between SEC teams. It just means less.

I want The B12 to get jobbed in the final playoff selection so that they can know their place and understand the impact of the only two brands that people truly want to see in the conference leaving.

Duggan is so clutch. What a leader.  

A coach's dream, flawless fundamentals, field vision, looks off DBs, goes through progression, processes subtle movements instantaneously.  Perfect college QB truly.  Hope he makes it big in the NFL.
