I don't understand why they are doing a conference matchup for round 1 of playoffs. It makes no sense.

I don't think they will care about potential matchups until the final poll this shit is just ceremony right now.

Tulane sitting in the middle of the BDF though is interesting.  Rig 12 gonna have to rig to stay afloat.

This year is why I think the Big 12 is going to be completely screwed in the playoffs.

They have no dominant program in a conference that's the 4th worst power conference. A 2 or 3 loss Big 12 team is going to struggle to make the playoffs just like this year. Them trading wins and losses is a recipe for disaster.

Beautiful.  Ohio St, Georgia, and Oregon on the other side of the bracket. 
 

all we’d have to really worry about is ND(and I think they’re gettable).  The rest we should be favored in by a bit. 
 

ohio St has a cake walk to the semis though before they play Georgia/Oregon.

Sets up too perfect.

I bet they make tweaks to avoid that when the final standings happen.

I think they don't care about the matchup now.  They will fix it when it comes to the last release if it isn't too ridiculous.

I could see a situation(not this year) where if SEC got 5 and Big 10 got 3 that they would force a first round to eliminate an SEC team.

Am I the only one note even remotely upset by where Ole Miss and Alabama are ranked? 

Would you rank shitty 9-2 teams like BYU, ASU, Tulane, and Iowa State above them? Teams that would have more losses with the same schedule. 

Expand  

I'm not.  We are in an era of college ball where the the schedules are going to be increasingly divergent.  The reality is that Oklahoma would probably be in the top 25 if they played a B12 or ACC schedule.

Committe loves them some fucking Miami for whatever reason. 

I guess it benefits SMU for them to be as high as possible. 

Expand  

It's hilarious.  they talk about how well Tulane is playing and ignore that Miami was gifted 2-3 wins early by refs.  ACC proving it was well worth it.

I really hop we are on Miami's side of the draw.  They are in a pickle as they want to give Big 10 champ loser of UO/OSU the 5 seed but that puts them on the same side of the bracket.

Here is another scenario.  OSU beats UO in another close game.  Could they both get a bye?

Also, the definition of a "top 25" win is stupid.  If you beat Vanderbilt, ranked 25, and they fall out of the poll, it's no longer a top 25 win.  It's not a good proxy for SOS at all.

They talk about our “weak SEC schedule” offering, but we beat the teams that beat the teams that are doing all the politicking!

SEC SEC SEC!!!!

Hook’em!!!

When we played Michigan, we were the one going on the road facing the reigning National Champions, with a 20+ home game winning streak. All the media drooled about the matchup during the week leading up to the game. Michigan even had their returning RB on the same NCAA-25 game cover as Ewers.

Once we beat the shit out of them and obviously pulled the brakes in the 2nd half, instead of scoring 50+, the narrative changed on them. Michigan didn’t start to “SUCK” until we exposed them!

Hook’em!!!

Bunch of teeth gnashing going on here. I do not understand why yall give a fuck about what media says. If we beat A&M and UGA in 4 and 11 days, their tune will change. If we lose to A&M, the media was right. But we’re still in the playoff and will have a chance to prove them wrong again.

Honest question …Is that really how they are calculating that?  It’s bullshit if so, top 25 wins should be against teams still in the top 25.

I agree. If the top Big XII teams were 1 loss it would be different but both conferences are beating each other up and sec gets the edge.

Michigan, OU, and Vanderbilt were all ranked the day we played them. Two on the road and one at a 50/50 neutral site game.

Stolen from CFPnews:

How can Alabama get in at 9-3 - assuming a win over Auburn work it's way in? Here's the path ...

1. Bama DESTROYS Auburn

And then at least three of these four things have to happen.

2. Georgia loses to Georgia Tech, loses SEC Championship to Texas

3. Notre Dame loses to USC - ugly

4. Vandy beats Tennessee

5. SMU faceplants against Cal

Or, 6. the College Football Playoff committee invokes the "... because it's Alabama" clause.

Win Saturday and seems like we are pretty much locked into the 2 seed with an SEC championship win or 6 seed with a loss.   Lose Saturday, a lot depends on whether or not any upsets (and how we lose) but we may be fighting TN for that 8/9 slot and a home game.  They would have the better win and a worse loss.  But we have a ton of common opponents and should win that analysis pretty easily regardless of their outcome with Vandy.

Not necessarily. If Ohio state beats Oregon it would most likely be this:

 

1 Ohio State

5 Oregon

6 Penn St

7 Texas

 

I Think our max is 2 with SEC championship

I would be pretty shocked if the committee jumped PSU over Texas after taking a loss in the SEC championship game while PSU sat on their ass at home. If we win Saturday I think either 2 or 6 slot depending on outcome of SEC championship is all but set in stone.
