If a 1 loss UGA beats an undefeated LSU in Atl they both get in with more than likely OSU and Clemson.

Oregon and Utah will play and the winner will have a "quality" win. I dont think either is better than UGA with 2 Ls but UGA isnt getting in with 2 Ls.

Theres a better chance UGA beats LSU than PSU (who only has 1 good win themselves) winning at the horseshoe.

PSU beat Indiana, Iowa, and Michigan. They passed the eye-test the time I saw them. With an OSU win, that would punch their ticket.

Plus, the upper east coast would love the chance to sneak in one of their teams (per this goofy prediction from yesterday morning).

If PSU beats OSU and finishes with 1 L they ll get in.

Whether that makes the upper east coast happy makes no difference to me. I'm fine if they re pissed.

There was absolutely no reason for Tua to be playing. He clearly wasn't right against LSU. They could have put in their back up, and had him hand the ball off fifty times, and still would have beat State soundly. He was a projected top five pick, but it was more important for Satan to get his veteran Natty winning qb some 2 min drill work ?! GTFOH.

I think the Playoff teams will be

LSU
Ohio State
Clemson
Oklahoma


I think Alabama goes to the Orange Bowl to play Notre Dame

That matchup can’t happen in the Orange Bowl. There has to be an ACC team each year it’s not a playoff semifinal, by contract. And it’s the only bowl in the whole slew of ACC bowl games where Notre Dame (by contract) cant step in to replace an ACC team.

10-2 Bama instead of 10-2 Florida, especially with a backup QB? I just don’t think a lot of Bama fans are going to be excited to go to watch their team lose in a major bowl game. Gator fans would be much more excited given it’s been a little while.

It’s entirely about the CFP rankings spot of SEC teams when it comes to an Orange Bowl spot. By contract, they have no say to make it otherwise, with the only exception being if It creates a same-season rematch with the ACC team contractually required to be part of the Orange Bowl.

Ok, I'm going to leave all three of them out. Oregon and Utah just don't have a high quality win.

Oklahoma is out because they are too up and down.

Plus, Bama without Tua is out.

And, everyone with 2 or more losses is out.

If Penn State beats Ohio State, I will take both of those.
If UGA beats LSU, I will take both of those.
And we need Clemson to defend their Title Belt.
If both Penn State and Georgia win, I'm taking UGA.

I don't care that that group had one bad day early or mid-season.

I want as many 1 loss teams as possible to be left out of the CFP. I want there to be as much noise and complaining as possible on Selection Sunday so we can get even more talk and movement towards an 8 game playoff with games played at home venues for the first round.

I think 11-2 Georgia goes to the Sugar Bowl to play Baylor while 10-2 Florida goes to the Cotton Bowl to play Kansas State.

This also doesn’t work. Not only does the Cotton Bowl not have any sort of Big 12 tie-in, but the highest ranked Group of 5 (AAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt, MAC, C-USA) school has to get an at-large spot in thIs year’s Cotton Bowl (either the Cotton Bowl or - when they’re not playoff semi-finals - either the Peach or Fiesta Bowls); that spot’s guaranteed.

Idk if they'd throw an SEC team in there over a conference champion. I know they did it in 2017 with Georgia and Bama so who knows.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but they’re weren’t any other undefeated or 1-loss conference champions at that point that year, correct? OSU beat Wisconsin and was 10-2. USC best Stanford and was 10-2.

Does AL get in if they win out, knowing GA will probably lose to LSU in SEC Championship?

Of course sports press will be giving Clemson and Ohio St. Tongue Baths for the next Month! :mad:

To me the Gumps are at best a top-15 team without Tua. Now, whether or not the committee will see it that way is another thing entirely.

Completely ignorant post. There is not a college coach in America that removes his starting QB in the first half of a 35-7 game. Hatred for Saban doesn't change that fact.

You saying it twice doesn't make it so. They didn't need him to win the game. This isn't "any" college football coach or just "any" program. They had a shot to get into the playoffs, now, it's doubtful. I don't necessarily care about Saban or bama, one way or the other. I do care about that young man being put in that position.

Ignorant argument. So players are supposed to sit every game that they are not needed to win? How stupid does that sound? Why have starters then? Why not just run some advanced metric and play ONLY those players needed to win that week and protect everybody else? See how stupid that sounds?

Your hatred for Saban is palpable.

Why don't you try and expand your vocabulary a bit. Injured players, yes. I'm not going to go any further down this stupid, ignorant rabbit hole with someone who is clearly incapable.

Tua wasn't injured.

Take your pick of the terms below. They all apply. I kind of like "birdbrained" myself.

Ignorant, stupid, dumb, nonsensical, uninformed, unknowledgeable, untaught, unschooled, untutored, unaware, insensible, illiterate, innocent, naïve, oblivious, obtuse, uneducated, apprenticed, benighted, birdbrained, blind to, cretinous, dense, green, imbecilic, in the dark, inexperienced, mindless, misinformed, moronic, nescient, shallow, thick, unconscious, unconversant, uncultivated, uncultured, unenlightened, uninitiated, unintellectual, unlearned, unlettered, unmindful, unread, unschooled, untaught, untrained, unwitting, witless.

Your argument is pretty weak here. Tua was healthy enough to play and had nothing to do with the hip injury he suffered in this game. The chance of Tua being hurt 1 minute into the game tied at 0 is at the same exact level that it is 2 minutes from halftime.

You couldn't have possibly thought of those yourself. I do applaud your effort in looking those synonyms up.

"Healthy " enough to play is relative. The chance of him being injured if he wasn't playing was zero. They didn't need him. It wasn't worth the risk.

Most players arent 100% healthy a majority of the year. Of course if he wasnt playing it would be zero, but how do you not play him other than judging it after the fact? If his health status was something that was degraded with an injury suffered in the game, you may have a point, but it had absolutely nothing to do with his hip injury.

That sounds noble, but if its true to the letter you should want Tua to give up football if his physical well being is a concern.
