I think FSU can and will lose to Louisville. Oregon loses to Washington again and Michigan loses to OSU.

Florida State without Jordan Travis is not as formidable of a team. Someone in the Michigan-Ohio State game has to lose. If Alabama beats Georgia in Atlanta, that’s the best win in college football in the last two years. I seriously doubt the Committee keeps us out if we take care of business and win out.




Texas will go before Bama unless Texas loses. We all hate it, but we all know it, and we all would be kicking and screaming if the roles were reversed and we were a one loss conference champion and stayed home because they let in a team that we beat.

We need Texas or FSU to lose. Hopefully both.

Bama is playing much better and has shown improvement over the course of the season than several teams in front of them.
*IF* Bama handles their business in a convincing manner vs auburn and *IF* Bama defeats Georgia (huge undertaking) in a convincing manner (10+ pts) the committee will put Bama at #4 in the final rankings. Jmo.

Is it just me, but it seems the pundits on espn selecting osu and Michigan to be in the playoff...would they really put two in from big 10 with Washington, Oregon, and fsu there at the moment?
Are they really gonna drop uga from 1 to 5 if we are able to beat them? There are some that will say uga should be in regardless.

We don't need help and the only thing all these losses you guys are begging these others team's to have will do is ensure Georgia backs their way in again like 2 years ago.

The win against un undefeated seen as unbeatable Georgia would skyrocket us

There seems to be a little bias against Bama. We lost and they dropped us to what 13? Oregon loses, Texas lost and neither went as far back as Bama did.

It's the danger of the bias that preseason polls create. A week 1 or 2 loss drops you behind many undefeated and unproven teams, and voters scramble to determine what that means. Week 3 vs USF didn't help perception either. It was a big hole for Bama to crawl out of.

The lack of chaos at the top has been pretty unique. Bama is night and day from their play in September. But, unfortunately, they don't control their destiny. It will be what it will be. Still, it is a remarkable turnaround by this team that has been fun to watch, no matter how the final chips fall.

Those of you that believe this haven't been paying attention this year.

If we win out, and all the other favorites win out, we MIGHT get in, but it's far from a certainty.

Not over any undefeated P5 champ, potentially 3 (FSU, Udub, B1G).

It would make Bama the easy pick over any one loss champ, save a one-loss UTx champ.

Stranger things have happened, but help certainly appears needed. Both Bama and UTx deserve, based on schedule, to be above Orgeon now, but they are not. It's telling.

Again, if Wash, OSU/Mich, and FSU go undefeated and Texas is a one loss BIG 12 champ, who are they leaving out to put us in?

We would easily get picked over an undefeated FSU WITH Travis talk much now he is injured.

They may not like us but they have to put us in and they know it. I don’t get the panic people have just because things are spelled out perfectly.

I wouldn't even be surprised if they put us 3rd to force us to go the hardest way needing to beat the Pac12 winner then Texas/B10.

Florida State.

They have already started the narrative.

What you guys are clamoring for is another Georgia re-match in the championship

You think we'd jump over an undefeated ACC champ? LOL. Never happen.

They will not put us in over an undefeated FSU, especially when they played 2 P5 OOC teams. There is no argument for putting us in over them.

I am not clamoring for a UGA rematch. A Texas or FSU loss is all we need and UGA will be left out.

You may be absolutely right. I guess I am looking at it from the worst case scenario perspective because I’m afraid the PAC 12 champ will be the media darling.

You could be right but I do not trust the committee. There is no reason for Oregon to be the top ranked one loss team. They should be 8, behind us and Texas.

If we are left out... we really have no one to blame. That UT loss looks bad at home. I know there is an anti-SEC, pro-pac 12 and Big10 bias, but we should have handled that team. We will need some help, but if we don't get in, I am proud of how this team pulled together
