What needs to happen to host playoff?

[A-RodWiLks]

Any hope to host just died with that pick 6

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Well thanks USC.

 

[loservol]

Can turn out the lights on the USC vs Notre Dame game.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We're gonna end going to Columbus

 

[CoachClick]

yep...with their schedule and this system, Notre Dame will be perennial hosts of the playoffs.


So stupid.

Whatever scenario keeps bama’s ass out, that’s what I’m pulling for

 

[tn4elvis]

Canes loosing definitely helps as far as hosting

Canes just sealed us home game

Bammers are getting back in aren't they?

Mcelroy already talking about our Miami not having any quality wins.

Probably.

Not really. In the event Oregon loses to Penn State in the Big 10 title game, Penn State will get auto bye, Oregon drops to the 5 seed....

We have no shot at the 5 so it would just be swapped with Penn State and Oregon loser

I think ND just locked up the #5 seed if Oregon beats Penn State next weekend. If PSU wins, Oregon will be #5 and ND #6.

How so? Miami was likely headed for a first round bye had they made it to the Championship game and won. Now Clemson or SMU will take that spot.

Looser that game will go below used

We were already ahead of SMU in the last ranking so nothing would change.

Be funny they send osu to Knoxville lol

What happens to Georgia if they loose their 3 rd game next Saturday . ?

That'd be the only way we host. Is of they drop OSU below us. I don't see it happening. I think we actually go to Columbus.

Now, if UGA loses next week, maybe they drop them below us with 3 losses. I don't think Texas drops below us if they were to lose next week.

No one has any idea how the committee is going to treat the loser of a conference title game, especially in the SEC and B10.

How does Ohio State losing help us and what else needs to happen to see a playoff game at Neyland?

It helps, as does Miami losing. Basically we need to slide into seed(s) 5 thru 8 to host, and I believe we are already there with the Miami and OSU losses today.

Wonder whose far Georgia drops they looses ion the sec champy game. Be their 3rd lost

Not a thing. Georgia isn't going to get penalized for losing a meaningless game. Of course Georgia isn't going to lose the SEC Title game. They will be a Top 4 seed conference champ

How does Ohio State losing help us and what else needs to happen to see a playoff game at Neyland?

Ohio State just lost at home to a 5 loss team they were like 20 point favorites against and got eliminated from playing for Big Ten Title.


They will drop down the rankings a bit.

It does not matter if their 3rd loss comes in Atlanta.

Expect them to drop 6 spots.

Tennessee will have two teams ranked lower than them, be above them on the actual seed line.
