How can we be ranked ahead of TCU? That’s not right.[/QUOTE


Doesn’t matter as at the end of the day, Michigan and Ohio St loser will stay home. TCU plays at Texas next week. Then they play Big 12 title
Game Vs Kansas St or someone else. If they go undefeated, then TCU will go to playoffs. My concern beyond TCU is PAC 12 winner. Oregon playing good ball rt now. I’d like to see a loss UsC lose and Oregon lose to Utah

Why?

4 team playoff

Tennessee needs to win out and their in.

Only thing that stops Tennessee is LSU or someone beating Georgia. In that only scenario Tennessee would need TCU to lose.

Otherwise it’s

Georgia
Ohio st/Michigan
TCU
Tennessee

Would LSU get an automatic bid by winning the SEC? Unless that’s a rule, no way you put a 2-loss LSU team that got blown out by Tennessee in Baton Rouge over a 1-loss Tennessee team.

In what world would TCU jump ahead of us after beating Texas Tech by 10 points and us losing to #3 as the #1 team?

Dropping the #1 team more than 3 spots, after losing on the road to the #3 team, would be a little harsh. LOL.

I think Tennessee is #4.

#1 Georgia
#2 Ohio State
#3 Michigan
#4 Tennessee
#5 TCU
#6 Oregon
#7 LSU
#8 Clemson
#9 USC
#10 Ole Miss

* TCU will eventually pass Tennessee, if they win out. Tennessee is not in complete control of their destiny anymore. They need TCU to lose, and possibly Oregon ... although, I doubt anyone wants a Georgia/Oregon rematch.

I believe we will be in the playoff at 11-1. That being said, we looked bad today. Don’t be surprised if we aren’t in the top 5 on Monday, but there will be enough carnage in the next month that we should be OK once the dust settles.

And 2 losses. Including ta 1 loss team ahead of them. Lol. Wanna bet? Although they won’t beat Georgia anyway….

I would bet any amount of money that a 11-2 LSU SEC Champion would make the playoff. This isn’t rocket science. Are you drunk? Not sure why you think an 11-2 team with 3 top ten wins in final 7 games who debuted in rankings at number 10 wouldn’t make the playoff. O

Keep a close eye on Pac12 as well. Oregon is getting a lot of love right now and only have a single loss. We really need Georgia to win out and TCU to start losing to feel safe.

Here are my projected rankings assuming USC wins tonight:
1) Georgia
2) Ohio State
3) Michigan
4) TCU
5) Tennessee
6) Oregon
7) LSU
8) USC
9) Ole Miss
10) Alabama

I don't see any reason TCU would move ahead of us after having to come from behind to beat a bad Texas Tech team at home. They were behind Alabama last week, that game shouldn't move the mark that much.

I guarantee come next week we're no better than #8. Book it. We got exposed today.

This is a pure BS overreaction take. Everyone please ignore. The path is clear. The road to the playoff was always going to be easier not going through Atlanta. Win out and all the pieces fall into place. Bama is out. Clemson is out. One of OSU and Michigan are out in a couple of weeks. TCU will lose to Texas. Win out and we are in!!!

If TCU is 5 and Tennessee is 4 on Tuesday and both win out, Tennessee is not dropping out of the top 4.

Just win out and see what happens. 3 weeks is a long time. Anything can happen. I remember in 98 we had almost no chance looking at the last 3 weeks of the season. 2 team playoff.

I could very well see Tennessee being 4 and TCU being 5. I think Tennessee will be either 4 or 5.
