Orange Bowl at Worst. Sugar a possibility.

I think if TCU loses by 14 or more it gets shaky. 20 or more I would be worried if I was a TCU fan. Just because you never know with a committee.

How in the world does Bama not even get to compete for their conference title, but they get to compete for the national title? It makes zero sense.

They've beaten two teams that are currently ranked- #10 and #20. Those are the only two they've played. Bama has beaten three- #14, #20, and #24. They played 5 with both of the losses close.

If the goal is to put the 4 best teams in then you have to ask yourself if TCU would beat Bama.... or either of the teams that Beat Bama.

I do not believe Bama should get in. I think UT deserves it more than Bama or a one loss TCU team. That's not how the CFP voted. IMO Bama and UT are better teams than TCU. If you take UT's schedule and see what they did against their opponents then look at TCU scraping by some relatively bad teams... a loss by them SHOULD count more.

That's not how it works and you know it. We've been bragging about beating 5 ranked teams all year. It's about what they are ranked when you play them.

No 2 loss team deserves to get in. I don't care if they losr on the last play of the game. Bama should have lost to Texas and Texas a&m if the refs make the correct calls in those games.

Any bowl bid is a good bowl bid with extra practices and a nice location to spend part of the holiday season.

TCU will be in regardless. Going overtime now and they have shown they deserve to be there. Duggins has carried that team on his shoulders… they are a lock

Michigan would stay in the CFP.

I would assume as Big 10 champs Purdue would go to Rose Bowl. Since Orange is locked into taking highest ranked Big 10/SEC team TN would go to Orange and Penn St would drop to Cotton or to whocares bowl.

of course that depends on the Rose not just making it up as they go

Yeah, it would depend on where USC ends up rankings-wise. If they’re above PSU, they’d likely go to the Cotton Bowl instead.

Of course, this also has to presume that LSU doesn’t upset Georgia today.

Yes, Alabama would probably beat TCU, but it's ridiculous to say going undefeated means nothing. Their season was better than Alabama's by every metric.

No. It means nothing. What little meaning it does have will get wiped away when Oklahoma and Texas go to the SEC. But those teams are trash right now anyways.

Do you know how many players get drafted from the Big 12 for the whole conference? Maybe 20 a year. Rarely any 1st rd picks. How about playoff appearance? 0-4

And when has a big 12 team last won a national championship? Texas 2005.

The big 12 gets more credit than they deserve by the committee thinking it means anything. Only thing it actually means is that they are surely going to lose in the playoffs.

I think UT to Orange! Bama to Sugar (sucks but that's the way it is)

TCU to fourth and play the dawgs.

Could OSU play Michigan again?

What a strange year!!

So let's just scrap everything and play Alabama against Georgia for the natty, since they're clearly the two most talented teams. By your logic, there's no need to even play a regular season. Just go by past draft numbers and recruiting rankings, and they'll be sure to get it right.

Well, unless LSU beats UGA. Then we might be looking at a LSU to Sugar Bowl and Alabama to Orange Bowl situation (presuming KSU doesn’t beat TCU by 50-70 points).

Yeah, there’s always a chance for LSU I guess. But I think it would be less than desirable to have to play the G-5 team. No win situation

To clarify, if LSU were to pull the upset today, they’d automatically go to the Sugar.

Not much chance with LSU supplying a free first touchdown and the refs seem to be leaning their way. Look at the low block call just before their second TD. The itty bitty defender hit Washington with his shoulder on his 0. Gotta be looking for trouble to make that up. Not consequential really but just hate to see that kind of garbage especially when validated by Danielson.

No, that's not what I said. I also think Michigan is a strong team. TCU scraped by their opponents in the Big 12. They didn't dominate. They simply won by default of the other team sucking. And then they lost today.

But yes, I think the national champion should be one of the best teams in the country. TCU obviously isn't one of the best teams and will inevitably get steamrolled in the playoffs. This is why going to 12 team playoffs in necessary. We won't have to mess with this BS. We can just let teams like TCU embarrass themselves by teams ranked lower than them

That’s never the way it works. Cincinnati certainly wasn’t one of the best 4 teams last year. If it’s close, politics comes into play. I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure the committee will do anything to avoid having 2 SEC teams and 2 Big 10 teams in there. Optics would not be good with an 11 and 1 TCU team that lost in an extra game in OT.

But they already put them as one of the best. They lose in OT to a good team they've already beaten by literally inches (I thought he was in). All of a sudden the committee realizes Bama is better? Man, making it to your conf champ is for losers. Literally, apparently.
