So if TCU and USC both lose

[gpm1976]

I can do that this winter.

Last 50 years top 5s off top of my head...

Cbb - UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Indiana & Kansas?
Cfb - Bama, Miami, Okla, USC & FSU?
CBb - LSU, Texas, Miami, Arizona & Oreg St?
Chk - UMn, UND, BC, Wisc & BU?


Interesting omissions

CBb - UCLA. They're arguably Top 2 AT
Cfb - NDm & UM. They're both arguably Tp 3 AT
CBb - USC. They're arguably #1 AT
Chk - UM & DU. They're both arguably Tp 4 AT

Man, won't this be a lot of work?

Yeah. I'm temporarily unemployed and have already done the research for college hockey and did it for cbb about 10-15 years ago so just have to update that and I love cfb so will enjoy that part. Have done some research on cBb already as well.

If I honor the "conference champion" getting a spot in my 8-team playoff it would look like this...

(1)Georgia (13-0) vs (8)Kansas St (10-3)
(4)Ohio St (11-1) vs (5)Tennessee (10-2)

(2)Michigan (13-0) vs (7)Utah (10-3)
(3)TCU (12-1) vs (6)Clemson (11-2)

They have Alabama (10-2) ranked ahead of Tennessee, but I gave the spot to Tennessee because they beat Alabama HTH.

I don’t think anyone is beating Georgia. But we will take our shot.

I guess it's best when we are given no chance as we often win those games. Miami, Bama and maybe even Clemson in 2020?

Henderson, Williams and smith Njigba should be fully healthy as well.

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Georgia is not unbeatable by any means. But, I hope you are right!

I will be smokin' food and drinking my ass off no matter what happens! Hopefully it'll be a fun game.

Jones, too?

Yes, they are a great team. but I do think OSU has the horses to do it. They have the talent. And they have time for everyone to get healthy. Trayveon and Miyan should be back 100%. OSU has a hell of a chance to redeem themselves. lol at people underestimating them.
GA had a couple shaky games this year. too many people are polishing the trophy for them too early.

and expanding further. Looking at the landscape of CFB this year, the other 3 teams in the playoffs have the best chance to win over GA.

I think it's fully justified to take into consideration for the rankings if certain key players get hurt and are out for the future games. Tenn losing their star Qb is huge issue for them.

be great if Smith Njigba came back and played in the playoffs. don't know if he will. It's been my contention, he's been saving himself for the draft stock.

I think henderson and Williams will be back 100%.

Maybe we just need to use our 3rd string QB again................. lol.

I like CJ, but I don't know what's going on with him and the offense. He is a talented guy, but it's like the game moves too fast for him sometimes. I just don't like how the offense has to look over at Day for 20 seconds to get the play on every down. They've played together for way too long to be this slow. If they can't figure out how to keep UGA's D on their heels, it'll be a rough day for the buckeyes.

 

[foster4prez]

In my opinion, it should be TCU or Clemson (assuming Clemson wins the ACC title game)

Told you guys.

I am glad TCU still made it in but man if they played Bama they would get smoked!

I'm not so sure about that. Bama has looked very beatable on several occasions this season.

That they have! Which I am happy about!

I will admit when I saw TCU and USC lost I said, "welp, Bama gets in" Glad I was wrong

I unfortunately agree. He makes me nervous. He can be brilliant, but he can look very average too. bothers me he isn't able to scramble very well.
Overall, OSU has the skill, talent, and the horses to challenge GA, but everyone has to have a good day. The D needs to play lights out.

The closeness of the TCU/KSU game helped TCU. A blowout loss would have given them an excuse
