There's no chance the committee will give Michigan #1. Going by what is said here, Oregon is going to beat Washington. If Georgia, Mich and FSU hold serve, it's happening.Ha. I’m hoping that happens but I think we’ll get sandblasted by Georgia in New Orleans.Gearing up for the family drama in the FSU vs MICH game Cappy?
I think if Oregon wins it’ll be Georgia Michigan Oregon FSU in that order, unless FSU just hammers Louisville 45-10 style or something. It fsu pulls out a 20-14 win they’ll be at 4.There's no chance the committee will give Michigan #1. Going by what is said here, Oregon is going to beat Washington.

We know anything's possible. Id find it very bizarre to have an undefeated champ ranked higher than a one loss champ. But I also dont buy into the rankings of the P12 this year either.I think if Oregon wins it’ll be Georgia Michigan Oregon FSU in that order, unless FSU just hammers Louisville 45-10 style or something.

Michigan, FSU, and Oregon/Washington winner all are in if they win. None will drop with a win this weekend. It's setup to me if Georgia loses a close game to Alabama that Georgia would stay in the playoffs in the Georgia, Alabama, Texas triangle. If Alabama blows them out, then the committee might have to decide between Alabama and Texas. It would be hilarious to see the SEC left out and all the ensuing whining but I give that a 1% chance of happening. I don't think Texas has a shot unless Louisville wins.
It's always been a popularity contest GB. All we've done is expand the "cool kid" party from 1 to 4. I've always been largely apathetic towards the "champion" label in CFB. Next year makes things better from my perspective. And I think it'll be cool to have the bottom 8 playing games at the top seed's placeCFP Anger Index: Is Ohio State really that much better than Alabama or Texas?
With Alabama and Texas playing in conference championship games this weekend, all Ohio State has to do is sit back and watch the drama unfold.www.espn.com
“Washington has two more Quad 1 wins than Oregon and already beat the Ducks. But Oregon gets a do-over and, if it happens to win this one, everything that occurred during the regular season is out the window. Boom, Ducks are in, Washington is out. Why?
Because everybody makes a lot of money from conference championship games, so they have to be played. But Washington already won the Pac-12 while playing a tougher schedule and by beating each of the next top five finishers in the conference standings. And yet, the Huskies still face a win-or-go-home situation in a title game, while Oregon faces zero consequences for losing in the regular season.
In the lead-up to the first playoff, we talked endlessly about preserving the integrity of the regular season -- the best in all of sports! Well, it's not the playoff that has undermined the importance of the regular season. It's the conference title games.
And when the playoff expands to 12, those games become even more problematic.”
The 2 semi final sites are the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl.The #1 seed gets to choose where they want to play. A #1 Georgia will pick the Sugar Bowl. A #1 Michigan would pick the Rose Bowl.
This is getting to be like the exodus Michigan experienced when Rich Rod got fired. When all was said and done, there were 12 scholarship players left for Hoke to work with and that was well before the transfer portal. Looks like MSU will be living in the portal for some time.Does Smith still have eligibility cuz he might have to play QB next year.
Glad they’re cleaning house.Does Smith still have eligibility cuz he might have to play QB next year.
Program needs a total rehab top to bottom inside and out.

Yeah, part of the story too is one of the MSU qb's is butthurt because Smith didn't recruit him even though he was a 4* from Oregon. He didn't mention that Smith got Chiles from that same recruiting class and he was higher rated.Does Smith still have eligibility cuz he might have to play QB next year.
Rumor is Aidan Chiles will follow Smith to MSU. I think he was VERY close to beating out DJU for the job in camp and if you gave Smith some truth serum, he'd tell you Chiles is the better QB.

Exactly. It's all about your last game.

Sam Leavitt from West Linn, OR. The people there are a little full of themselves, so Leavitt being butt hurt is the least surprising thing I've read all day. Not like he made the most of his opportunities when he did play for MSU...
The need to white board a better rivalry name. For being such a big deal it has a **** monicker.
First half.Is the Iowa team-specific O/U 1 pt?

We must have crossed wires but 1st half is definitely 1/2 point at his book…either way 6.5 has to be a Conf Champ record by…a lot.6.5 is their total for the game.A bookie friend told me that first half was .5….and second half was .5.First half.Is the Iowa team-specific O/U 1 pt?
Not surprised. Rumors have been there for a while. Big question is who’ll be our OC as Parker did not do well and his system doesn’t seem to fit Leonard. I had thought Will Howard might be a better system fit.
Not shocked and that was the rumor around here.

I’m still of the opinion that the SEC does not get shut out no matter what. Granted, I think UGA makes that argument moot as they take care of Bama but in the above scenario I think maybe FSU (due to injury) get left out.

I guess people will say that’s the homer in me but there is no way they are leaving out a 13-0 power 5 champ. Mandel went through every scenario the other day and had FSU in every time with a win.Simulation of what happens this weekend and results:

ACC and Big 12 are the weaker conferences; SEC, B1G, Pac 2 are in; if FSU wins they're in, if not and Texas wins they're in; if both lose a 2nd team from the top 3 conferences are in.Whos in then?Simulation of what happens this weekend and results:

Bowl
In any of those previous years did another P5 champ with the same record beat the SEC champ on the road in the same season? I don’t really think prior seasons matter. I think they will absolutely leave the SEC out if Bama beats Georgia and Texas wins, assuming FSU wins as wellI guess people will say that’s the homer in me but there is no way they are leaving out a 13-0 power 5 champ.

Without the QB injury I think I agree with you - however, anybody saying Bama absolutely gets left out, IMO, hasn’t been paying attention to the treatment that the SEC has gotten over the years.

Ohio State lost their qb in 2014 and got in. If they leave a 13-0 team out bc they lost one player, albeit an incredibly important one, that is just just awful.
