And Why is TCU ranked ahead of Vols in the CFP Poll?

Because there are many who think that if, for example, Michigan wins a close game - both of them make the playoff. The CFP committee would consider just dropping their beloved OSU only down to 4.

Yea, if OSU and Michigan have a classic double overtime game then the committee would try to get both in…sort of the same argument for us getting in if our only loss is to #1 Georgia on their home field…

They dominated Texas. Impressive performance. Showed no weaknesses. Vols/Horned Frogs would be a great game, but not much chance of that happening. I predict the final 4 will be UGA, OSU, TCU, VOLS in that order.

A 12-1 USC is getting in the playoff. A 12-1 UCLA May as well. A 1-loss Michigan isn’t getting in, no matter how close the loss to OSU is. They don’t have the resume.

There’s no precedent for 8 or 12 jumping 5 with two games to go. The radio talk drama doesn’t change math, ratings, or money. If the Vols win the last two games convincingly, the only one loss teams that can keep them out are UM or OSU. They actually have the sway to stay. No PAC 10 team will catch us if we take care of business.

I agree with this but I really think the loser of that big 10 battle will be left out. Their schedules are really weak

It doesn’t matter that there isn’t precedent. A 12-1 University of Southern California isn’t getting left out of the playoffs.

Our luck Michigan will get in because of a three point loss to Ohio state. That’s why we need to beat SC and Vanderbilt by a lot. Score sixty on them. Put in Milton and let him negotiate for a rocket launch to the moon. Ehhh we really need tcu to lose.

One of these will have 2 losses because they play each other.

USC will benefit from Oregon's loss but they were behind both TN and LSU in last week's ranking. They also have Notre Dame. USC did win big but that was against Colorado who has only won 1 game.

Assuming one of them does end up with just 1 loss, they will pay either Oregon, Utah, or Wahington or I guess possibly each other a second time.

I think there is a better chance that the winner of that conferences has 2 losses than any of them just have 1 loss. The teams are very evenly matched.

Let the season play out……lots of football left to play.

Weird things inevitably happen…….

If the committee would play it smart with their voting, they could have 4 big market teams in the playoffs.
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Michigan
4. TN

Time to tell TCU and their small market to go and hop off.

Oregon lost and UCLA is down 14-0 to Arizona right now. Would be nice for the Wildcats to pull the upset over the Bruins. That would really only leave USC needing a loss as far as PAC teams go.

Don’t disagree about the schedules. The amount of OSU/UM alumni in the press, media, powerful positions in NYC/CHI markets is off the charts. The Big 10 is the most powerful TV demographic by far. SEC is the biggest money maker, also by far. When the arguing starts, that will be what matters.
