If Utah wins the PAC, they'll have 3 losses. They should be in over a one-loss Georgia? Many of the other potential conference champs currently have two losses, as well.

You mean to say, consolidating into super-conferences would suddenly have *clutches pearls* a downside?

I... I don't mean to say that. I can barely see a connection, even.

I've been saying it for years - in a limited playoff system, if you can't win your conference you don't deserve to win the championship no matter how good of a team you are.

I think you have it backwards: In a four-team playoff, it's important to take a team's entire schedule into account. As we expand the playoffs, we can carve out spots specifically for conference champions - and that's exactly what they're doing.

Utah would be a conference champion, and that trumps all!

So of course put them over a one loss Georgia or two loss BYU!

While BYU beat Utah (and pretty much everyone in the Pac-12) they are not in a conference this year, so sorry BYU, Utah it is.

Yes! Like every other sport! The majority of team comparisons can only be subjective since they don't play each other or even play similar teams in the exact circumstances. Think of the conference championship as a "bye" from any talk on whether a team "deserves" to be in a playoff. Then the teams can actually play against each other to determine a winner.

edit: as far as quality conferences, if the NCAA has deemed it a conference then it deserves to be thought of as one.

Like every other sport? Have you heard of college basketball?

Yes exactly. Conference auto bids. 10, plus 6 at large is what football really needs to start to be as fair as basketball.

But we've had this discussion at least once a year for a decade

In the context of the discussion, he was saying that teams with no conference would be left out of the playoffs - like every other sport. That's not the case.

The post you responded after didn't mention ND. That was on the previous page.

And they should be left out if they won't join the ACC. Screw em.

Are we 100% sure this Oregon team beat Ohio State?

And another name gets added onto the list of Rose Bowl participants before Cal has gone back.. unbelievable. One more meaningless game for Cal and then its see you all next year. Enjoy the debate about non-Rose Bowl games!

Watched that game. Ohio States QB was still learning and played like crap.

Are you talking to me? Did *I* mention ND? I'm so confused right now - but FWIW, I starred your post.

Is this really the same Alabama offense that could do almost no right against 6-5 Auburn last week?

This is nuts

I'm trying not to get excited... But that pick 6 was nice.

Cincy wins. Have to be in. Question is do they stay at 4 or move up? Committee will likely avoid UGA-Bama rematch in semis right?

Assuming we win bama will be 1 and Georgia will be 2. We'll play Cinnci.

It will be a massacre.

Michigan already at 2. They going to drop if they win?

No difference in 2/3 but jersey colors I guess but still.

I mean, I hope so, but who knows. Dawgs gotta drop, but down to #3 makes the most sense with Cincy staying at 4.

Boy, I've been an Alabama fan since I became aware of college football....but I'm starting to feel sorry for Georgia.

At least they almost certainly have a second chance in the playoff.

You must hate us Badferret...

The darkest time line for SEC haters.

Actually no. Do I think the Dawgs would already have 2 or 3 nattys in just last the decade alone if Tuscaloosa would have somehow been swallowed by a hellmouth. Damn right I do. But, it's on us to beat you.

We hate Florida and Auburn, and to a lesser extent Tennessee and Clemson, so we have conquered our hate and then some.

Dawgs didn't bring it today and I'm puzzled. I know they would have loved to have been able to disrupt Young with their base package, but why not start bringing 6 every down like LSU and Auburn before we've given up 31.

And Stetson, up until the pick 6 didn't play bad at all, especially considering the dropped TD.

I do think (assuming we get in) that JT has to play now though, unless he is just not physically right in which case.... whelp, maybe third time will be charm for the mailman. Just think of the potential movie title, The Mailman always rings thrice!

1. Michigan
2. Alabama
3. Cincinnati
4. Georgia

Good... Goooooood. Let the hate flow through them.

Let's f'ng go! I'll take our mulligan, always had to win two games at this point. On the Dawgs to put up or shut up.

Thought so. Early odds are on a SEC Championship rematch for the Natty, right?

That would be if the SEC hater's darkest timeline didn't fork.

Cal beats USC at home for the first time since 2003! .. and what do you do when your 4-7 team beats another 4-7 team in the last game of the football season... STORM THE FIELD!

Anything else interesting happen yesterday?

Yeah committee avoids semis rematch.

Alabama
Michigan
Georgia
Cincy
