This will ensure it if the higher seeds wins, but the committee is there to rank/seed the teams, not to predict the outcomes of their seeding. Some are playing this touchy feely stuff. OMG we can't have an all SEC Final well we have in the past and it makes no difference. Which is more reason to separate them in the first game. GA vs TCU, OSU vs TN. The outcomes of those games would validate who the best conference is for this year.
The committee is not looking for style points for themselves in their seeding of teams.

So easy a Cave Man could do it...Geico

I’d prefer to get OSU or Michigan round 1 if we make the playoffs. I could see being put at #4 tho. I can also see us getting left out altogether.

Just for fun tho, let’s say we do make it AND get out at #3, who would you rather face? OSU or Michigan?

Michigan... and Bazooka Joe gets to throw a couple of TD passes to cap off the rout.

What IF Illinois makes it a game Vs Michigan? Bielema might be our new bestie. I don’t think I’ve ever contemplated pulling for ole Brett but I’m there. 🤣

Both Michigan and Ohio State have shown that they can struggle against any competition, good or bad.
It may be a blow out or it may be a close game. If it is a blow out I look for it to be Ohio State because Michigan does not have a team that can come back easily by relying on the run.
Should be an interesting game.

It is fun to project what will happen but this whole thing may come down to the last game being played on Conference Championship Saturday.

Right now there is literally too much football to be played to determine who will be where in the seeding. I like our chances of making it. Win out the rest will take care of itself.

Hard to keep the No. 1 offense out of the Playoffs and justify it. Playing in the best Conference with a SOS & SOR in the Top 5.

Tennessee has the best Resume of the teams in consideration with the exception of GA (Defense Ranking).

Believe it or not. TV ratings matter imo. NCAA knows if Tennessee is in there, the viewer ship increases tremendously. I know some will say that don’t matter but it does imo

Great point. At one point, 17 million were viewing Tenn/Alabama. And, because of Nick Saban stranglehold on most everyone, most wanted to see Bama lose. Therefore, we picked up some bandwagoners. I think you are on to something. At some point, advertising and viewer dollars matter. And I watched TCU for the first time Saturday night against Texas. Seems their QB was on his ass most of the game. That game was garbage for both teams and who wants to watch that?

That’s what worries me, the west coast and southwest tv ratings

With two of the biggest fan bases in America that game might rival the NC!

I don't think they want another all SEC championship game. They would want to eliminate 1 SEC team so we would go heads up with GA 1st round. They also don't legitimately want TCU or anyone like them in the Championship game because of viewership. OHST would knock them out and get a 2 conference championship game.

Michigan, probably. OSU has UGA level athletes, but they also haven't really played anyone. But Michigan probably the better matchup for us.

I think Ohio State is lying in wait for Michigan very much like Georgia was 2 weeks ago with us. Sleep walking through their last couple of games with a sorta close call at Penn State—which they still won handily.

Michigan/OSU really is a different animal when it comes to rivalries. Even the SEC doesn’t have anything that compares. It’s the greatest rivalry in all of sports.

By what criteria are you declaring it preeminent among all sports rivalries? If you are talking about evenly matched heavyweights in the same conference, it is a defensible argument.

Many people have declared, however, that there is no rivalry where outright hatred burns hotter than the Alabama-Auburn rivalry. If the Third Saturday in October isn't ranked quite as highly in the minds of sports pundits, it is only because the competitive balance of the SEC has historically precluded any two teams from matching up repeatedly at the end of the season for the conference championship. In the old days, however, I most definitely would have put the Oklahoma-Nebraska rivalry on par with any of the great rivalries in college football.

If Georgia or Ohio State loses their CCG we will be left out of the playoffs. The committee will pick a 1 loss GA or Ohio State over TN. JMHO

The committee wants a 1st round Tennessee vs. Ohio State offensive explosion matchup. That’s what I’m feeling. Right? What do y’all think about that one?

I would be fine with that matchup...Hell except for a freaky loss last year to Purdoodoo We have owned the Big 10...Bring those buttheads on!

As I've stated at least 3 times in the past 7 days, the final 4 will most likely be:

1. GA
2. Ohio St.
3. Tennessee
4. USC/TCU (Oregon is now out)

It's pretty apparent based on the 1st and 2nd CFP polls that the committee wants these top 4.
Only disaster nightmare scenario would be LSU upsetting GA and winning SEC championship game. I'm sure the committee would have a hard time not putting the SEC champ in the final 4 even with 2 losses.

I like that top 3,.. I see an undefeated TCU being in the 4th spot at seasons end. Tennessee v The Ohio State would be something to damn see!

My favorite rivalry is the Army-Navy game. I obviously don’t care about the teams records but that game just seems so special.

Yes, that rivalry positively drips with tradition. This will be an easy trivia question for fellow gray-beards, but who won the last Heisman Trophy at any of the service academies?

Agree with this with one caveat. TOSU needs to beat Michigan fairly soundly. Say by at least 14. A close game probably gets the loser in.

Who has Ohio state beaten for them to say they deserve to be in the top 4 if they were to lose to UM?

I am not sure OSU beats UM, I am pulling for UM because Hooker needs Stroud to have a bad game to win the Heisman, they would love to steal it from him.

if Michigan wins it they probably give it to their running back
