So if chalk holds,  would Notre Dame move up to 5 and everyone shifts down a spot? PSU to 6, Georgia to 8? I don't think the loser of the CCG in the Big 10 and SEC should lose a home game if they lose the CCG since that's an extra game. A 3rd Texas Georgia game would be stupid. I know they'll do all they can to maintain a possible Big 10/former Pac 12 Rose Bowl so it wouldn't shock me if they double stack Penn State vs. Ohio State in the 8/9.

In case you guys are wondering why SEC teams still play FCS cupcakes in November, this is why:

holy christ.  I knew that dude was an idiot.   I mean, fuck Miami, but the gymnastics(see Ole Miss also) to get Bama in are hilarious.

and to look at the last 3 games  in a 12 game season is just moronic.  This isn't like basketball where you play 10 games in the last 3 weeks.

That is fine too basically as long as they get to play in December in a frozen hellhole 😉

They couldn't handle Norman in November.

Then again tOSU couldn't handle Columbus in November against a 5 loss Michigan team. 

The more I think about it the more I think America needs it to happen (since the CFP has already told us Bama isn't missing out).

Alabama is exactly why we shouldn't schedule anybody worth a shit in non-conference.

Their best opponent in non-conference is 5-7 Wisconsin. A 2 loss SEC team will make the playoffs and a 3 loss SEC team has a shot to make it even with a shitty ass non-conference schedule. There is zero incentive to play good teams in non-conference and risk a loss.

The sport changes the logic to favor Alabama every year to get them in. 

Last year it was who was hot, ignore middle season wins/ losses. 

 

This year it's opposite.

 

That program can't burn into fucking oblivion fast enough.

I mean, Wisconsin is a top tier OOC by SEC standards. Bama did also play lowly Texas the last 2 years.

Such an absurd double standard. If the name on Bama’s jersey was “Texas”, and the Longhorns were sitting at 8-3 with that same schedule — no one would be considering us for a spot. 

Bama is 9-3 and to be fair they have earned that respect to be considered with the last 13 years of their play. If this were 2008 or 2009 Texas would be in the same conversation. And hopefully Texas keeps things rolling so we are getting that same nod over the next few years.

Do we know what round 2 game/bowl we will be in if we win this Saturday??  Is it certain? 

I'd like to ensure I have the next morning off from work..

Last playoff going to work was a very tough time.  Struggle bus city.

I don't think it's set in stone but I think they said something like in general they would like it:

Rose - B10

Fiesta - B12

Peach - ACC

Sugar - SEC

Assuming Boise would also land in the Fiesta.

Who cares about this week. Alignment happens next week.

1 Oregon
2 Texas
3 SMU
4 Arizona state
5 notre dame

Then the ratings fun begin. Bama at 12 will magically move up and Boise state will fall to 12. Can’t have bama and ND play in the first round, that will eliminate a lot of fans.

Also, if Texas does lose, they will bump ND for the 5th spot because conference game.

It’s funny how much some of you care. Texas is a lock, who gives a fuck about the rest of these shitty teams. Texas will beat everyone. 

Expand  

Umm… if you put a gun to my head I’m picking Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State and considering Notre Dame. We will have a chance against anyone, but our offense is a problem.

Agreed. And we will be there over the next few years. I don’t wanna anoint us yet but we are above programs like Bama and Georgia and Clemson of 6-7 years ago right now. And poised to stay there at least thru ‘26.
