Peach Bowl: (1) LSU vs. (4) Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: (2) Ohio State vs. (3) Clemson

Cotton Bowl: Georgia vs. Cincy
Orange Bowl: Florida vs. Va Tech
Rose Bowl: Utah vs. Penn State
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Baylor

Reminder of the Tie-Ins
Rose: BigTen vs. PAC-12
Sugar: SEC vs. BigXII
Orange: ACC vs. BigTen OR SEC OR Notre Dame
Cotton: no tie-in

Every year the G5 team is forced to go to the Peach, Fiesta, or Cotton. Since the Peach and Fiesta are the semifinals, that means they are going to the Cotton.


What happened this week:
Oregon was the only contending team to lose this week. They are no longer projected to go to a NY6 game.

The biggest beneficiary of Oregon's loss is...

OKLAHOMA. Despite their loss to KSU, they are now in the driver's seat to win out and secure the 4 seed.

Oklahoma making the field means another BigXII team is headed to the Sugar Bowl. At this point, the most likely team is Baylor, even with another loss to OU.

Alabama got a bit of help with Oregon losing, but still needs another loss by OU AND Utah to have a realistic chance at making the field of 4.


The ACC continues to look like utter garbage after Clemson, but someone in the ACC will have to be selected to the Orange Bowl, even if none are ranked. At this point, I suspect the 2nd place team from the Coastal division will get the nod, as the 1st place team will likely be waxed by Clemson, giving them yet another loss. As of now, I project a 9-4 VaTech team to be selected.

As always, feel free to comment on the above projections, or better yet...post your own.

Oklahoma (12-1) wins out (d. Oklahoma St and Baylor [for a 2nd time])
LSU (13-0) d. Georgia (11-2) in SEC Championship
Oregon (11-2) d. Utah (11-2) in Pac-12 Championship
or...

Does Oklahoma (12-1) leapfrog Utah (12-1) if both win out?
If Georgia (12-1) wins out does LSU (12-1) get the "Alabama treatment" and stay in the top-4?:D

I figure the rankings this week:
(1)LSU (11-0)
(2)Ohio St (11-0)
(3)Clemson (11-0)
(4)Georgia (10-1)
(5)Alabama (10-1)
(6)Utah (10-1)
(7)Oklahoma (10-1)

that team wont show up again. What we saw in the 4th quarter is what we see the rest of the way.

You realize ASU put up 18 points in the 4th quarter after 2 Herbert INTs, right?

Virginia Tech really turned it on late in the season. Who would've thunk it.

With our history against VT and secondary (among other things) issues, I feel like we’ll lose to them again Friday and end up somewhere like the Music City Bowl.

Some fucked up predictions for UGA to be in despite losing to LSU.

#1 Ohio St vs #4 Utah
#2 LSU vs #3 Clemson

This week. Next week ......
Oregon really screwed the pooch. They put bama right back in the picture. Utah had better get it done.

IMO... the CFPC puts OSU #1. They played and beat the CFPC's #8 team while LSU was playing Arkansas.
Right now it's still a "What have you done lately" thing. We'll find out Tuesday evening

Yikes, this might be the lowest rated NY6 game yet if it comes to pass.

In years where there's no undefeated G5 team, it really takes appeal away from whatever bowl features the top ranked G5 team.

Boise State would be a good draw IMO.

I hope that some how, some way, App State gets the nod, though it seems nearly impossible, even though they're the only G5 team in contention with two P5 wins.

I have a buddy that was buried on the depth chart of that famous 2007 team, so App State is by far my favorite G5 team.
