CFP + New Year's 6 Bowl Projections (Post Week 5)

[michaeljordan_fan]

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

Cotton Bowl: LSU vs. Boise State
Orange Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Wake Forest
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Texas

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.

Note: If not for the LSU vs. Texas regular-season matchup, that would have been the Sugar Bowl game. Since they play in the regular season, LSU was shuffled over to the Cotton (BigXII team is locked into the Sugar).

Additional note: I would have placed Virginia as the ACC team in the Orange Bowl, but excluded them to avoid the ND rematch.

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

Same thing as last week. Michigan or Navy could be hiccups. But they did impress against a good UVA team.

But I would put a 1 loss Penn State ( assume they lose to Ohio State ) over a 1 loss Notre Dame simply because Penn State is in a real conference.

Notre Dame would have to lose TWO more games. Just losing to Michigan or Navy isn't going to cut it.

Do they have a contract where if they are 10-2 or better they must be in a NY6 bowl? I mean I know they would be selected because of $$$$ but....

So you would have a 2 loss Notre Dame over a 1 loss Penn State? Idk about that.

WF in the Orange just reads weird.

As @7Samurai13 eloquently stated...it's all about the $$$

But... But...

What if Penn State were to beat Ohio State, steals their playoff spot, and the debate would be between a 1 loss Ohio State?

Then Penn State is in the playoff...and Ohio State is in the Rose.

2006 says "Hi". Now, that was weird!

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Then Penn State is in the playoff...and Ohio State is in the Rose.

And Wisky?

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

And Wisky?

Ah, now its a decision between Wisky and Notre Dame...which team do you think is more popular?

Which is nonsense. Wisconsin is too good of a team.

Cotton Bowl: LSU vs. Boise State

Your predictions are shit and your mother is a whore.

There's only a limited number of slots. The real shame is the ACC #2 getting an auto-bid if Clemson goes to the playoffs, but that's life.

Once LSU loses to Auburn, then I'll swap the other tigers in to make you happy.

@ Duke could be tough. The Blue Devils actually won @ Notre Dame just a couple of years ago.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Once LSU loses to Auburn, then I'll swap the other tigers in to make you happy.

LSU doesn't interest me. Nor Auburn.

Georgia vs Hawaii part 2: The Redemption. Seriously. Can't make this shit up. It will sell like hot cakes.
