Still #5! May be what we needed.

(no message)

they just had two SEC teams in the top 4 last week when they voted for Auburn at #3

I would like to be higher, but we can't really complain. If we win out, we would have a win over MSU, LSU, Auburn, WVU, and whoever wins the East. I can't see us being any lower than #2. We would have a better resume than Oregon and TCU. Hopefully, that would put us in the Sugar Bowl.

I am interested in what the committee does about TCU and Baylor. I don't really see how they could leave Baylor out while including TCU because Baylor beat TCU and would have the conference title. However, TCU is currently ahead of them which tells me they don't value head to head that much. If they put TCU in, it means they want to reward teams for playing tough schedules (TCU beat Minnesota). If they put Baylor in, it means conference championships are the biggest criteria.

The only benefit of a committee that I ever thought would be better is that old statement of "they are playing the best football in the country right now".

Linking together some good wins in a row looks to be very important to me.

And as far as where in the top 4, IMO where we are seeded is only important in that we need to play in New Orleans, IMO. If Oregon is 1, we need to be 2 or 3. If FSU ends up 1, we need to be 4. We don't need to go out to Pasadena to play Oregon.

I'd prefer playing in Pasadena, personally.

Yeah, but we have a better chance of playing in front of a friendlier crowd in NO. I don't think all that many Bama fans will fly to a semi in Pasadena with the final the following week in Dallas. But large numbers will drive to NO.
