CFP Race

There has been a lot of negativity after the loss to Georgia. I thought I might share my thoughts about how the race is looking.
The top 10 teams are basically set, aside from any major upsets.
1. Oregon
2-3. Ohio State/Texas
4. Penn St
5. Indiana
6-9. Georgia, Ole Miss, Alabama
10. Tennessee
All of these teams are from either the Big 10 or the SEC meaning that we would be the first team out after auto-bids from the final three conferences. If we win out and Texas wins out+the sec championship then we are almost certainly in, because the committee would not put a 3 loss SEC team, the loser in the conference championship, in the playoff. Outside the sec and big ten there is very little competition for at-large bids, and BYU loss to Kansas played a big role in that. I don’t see a scenario where a 2 loss big 12 or acc team gets in over a 2 loss SEC team.
The loss was very disappointing last night but we are still very much in the mix for the playoff.

As much as it sucks, hold your nose and pull for Florida to beat Ole Miss, and OSU to annihilate Indiana. We need those two teams completely taken out of consideration.

Forgot to mention notre dame who has played a cupcake schedule with a horrible loss but looks like a playoff lock unless they lose to army.
