Playoff Field Set

Hoping for an Ohio State vs Michigan rematch.

TCU not dropping at least to the 4th spot proves to me that the committee manipulated the rankings to produce the matchups they wanted. How can TCU lose to a lower ranked team and not drop at all? Clearly the committee wanted to avoid an OSU/Michigan matchup. The chairman claiming it wasn't even discussed is absolute BS.

TCU has a better resume than Ohio State. They should be ranked ahead of them.

Even though I fully believe they did it to make sure Michigan and OSU didn't rematch in the first game, I don't have a big problem with TCU not getting punished for losing an extra game while rewarding OSU for not even making their conference championship.

No argument about TCU getting in, but they should be 4th. OSU lost to #2 Michigan; TCU's loss is much worse.

Is it? They lost in overtime on a neutral field to a top 10 opponent. Yes, Ohio State lost to the team ranked second, but it was at home and they got blasted.

It is to me. TCU lost to a 3 loss team while OSU lost to an undefeated team.

Can Michigan be physical enough for long enough to make it a game to the end.

We’ll see.

Do you think the committee would have dropped GA to #2? I don't think so because they would not have wanted Mich/OSU matchup. I think if GA had lost, TCU would have dropped to #4. My point is that they intentionally create the matchups they want. I believe the matchups should be created based on the actual criteria and not what they want to see. If manipulation is allowed, then the whole system is flawed.

I personally had TCU at 3 and Ohio St at 4. TCU has a lot more quality wins and they lost their championship game in OT by 3 points while Ohio St got blown out and didn’t play for a championship title. I think they got the top 4 in the right order.

Passing wise, OSU is really the only team capable of exposing the UGA secondary. I still think UGA wins, but they got the worst first opponent possible for them.

Only if they’re at full strength. My guess is they’ll bracket Harrison Jr much like Hyatt and Shroud will throw into turnovers.

Possible. Could be like the championship game where OSU returned the opening kick for a TD and then UF boat raced them. UGA is so good but LSU showed a gunslinger can hit stuff on them.

I don't think they would have dropped unless Michigan won and Georgia lost then it would have been Michigan 1, Georgia 2.
