The First 2018 College Football Playoff

[Across The Field]

Even if they lose their CCG? I believe that would be a first. Has any team made the CFP after losing their CCG?

Re-read my post, old man...

If LSU beats Bama and makes it to the SECCG, it's the same situation all over again as last year. SEC champ probably gets in along with Bama.

I think we're having the same conversation in two threads. If ND, michigan/OSU, and Clemson win out, I don't know how Bama makes it as a 1-loss non conference champ.

Yeah I know. Back in 2014, we were 16th in the first playoff rankings. Funny how things work, yeah?

Stoops gettin those OSU leftovers and being ahead of Urbs and OSU is pretty funny.

Kind of like in 2014 when ND was 6 spots ahead of us in the first playoff rankings and finished the year unranked.

Yeah we sucked that year. But that doesn't change you guys are behind Kentucky right now.

If OU played Michigan, the line would be pretty close. Maybe Michigan by 3?
If OU played Georgia, Georgia would be a favorite by probably 6 points

I'm not saying OU is a bad team, I think they are ranked where they should be ranked and are definitely a threat to make the playoff, but I can't put them ahead of Georgia or Michigan yet. Mainly it's because of that game against Army. Army took OU to OT and needed 2 OTs to beat Miami-Ohio. I mean, it's a bad game on their resume. Michigan's only bad game is against a playoff team right now.

I'm not saying OU is definitely better than either one. OU and Georgia really don't have enough quality wins at this point IMHO. Michigan's (Sparty, Wisky, Nerdwestern) may not be as good as I think either. Hard to get a read on those three!

Neither Smart or Harbaugh like shootouts as they are defense minded. I'm pretty sure that is what the game would turn into. Their teams would probably score more than normal but it'd drive 'em crazy giving up yardage/scoring. They aren't used to that.

Seeing UF and OSUx next to each other on thar makes me happy. Bring on another bowl game with the Suckeyes!

Iowa St. Wouldnt score more than 14 on UK.

And that would be enough for the win

 

[Codaxx]

Hot Take! Why is that?

ISU plays defense
UK has no offense
ISU has a decent offense

Are you suggesting that a team who got blown out by an average Purdue team is going to have a chance at a national title?

Teams have lost their CCG and made the BCS title game...it will happen eventually.

And for all we know, Kentucky sucks and we're the national champs.

Well in 2014 we got blown out by an average VT team, and that was even at home.

Only way "you'll" be national champs is if you start rooting for Bama.
