The SEC champ, who will probably finish with the hardest SOS when all is said and done, will be in. Period.

If it is Bama, it will probably vault Texas in as well when they win - because you can’t justify them being left out when they beat Alabama.

Michigan will easily be in.

That leaves the others - Oregon/Washington and FSU - fighting for the last spot. I think FSU will be out - they are not the same without their QB.

It is supposed to be about the best teams - not records.

Just my 2 cents.

My 2 cents are probably worth less than yours, but here goes...

Agreed.

I disagree. We played each other, that is all we have in common. Regardless of is often stated, Texas's schedule was not as difficult. Their one loss was to a team who has lost to Kansas and Oklahoma State and the CFP has bolstered them [Texas and Oklahoma] up.

Yes, Texas the will probably beat Oklahoma State in the Big12 Championship, taking down a 9-3, probably ranked 18 in the polls.

Meanwhile, IF and only IF, Bama beats a #1, unbeaten Georgia team in Atlanta, our path w/ Texas will diverge.

They still have to get passed Iowa in the Big 10 Championship. They probably will, but stranger things have happened before in the Big 10.

ALL teams winning a conference championship will be given a preference, because it's another game.

As always, our mantra has been 'win-out', let the chips fall where they may. We've needed UGA to be unbeaten until we faced them... they are.
