re: I HATE to tell you guys, but Bama is out unless some wierd stuff happens.

If Bama manages to win on Saturday, they will have the No. 1 SOS in college football and will have just beaten a team that has been undefeated for nearly three years. If the argument is that that team isn't one of the four best currently playing, then the committee will have lost it's mind.

Oregon currently has 1 win against a top 25 team (Oregon State). Even if they beat Washington, they'll have a a fairly equal loss, not as good of a win and an easier schedule.

Florida State is the tough one here. They definitely aren't the same team as they were a couple weeks ago. Can't leave an undefeated team out, but they simply aren't one of the four best teams playing right now. They also only have 1 win over a top 25 opponent, LSU. FSU has managed to avoid all of the decent ACC teams this year. UNC and NC State weren't on their schedule and somehow, to this point, they have only had to play 1 team that's in the top 5 of the ACC.

There are a lot of teams that have been the beneficiary of extremely soft schedules this year; and a decent opportunity for some to lose.
