Thought this was interesting… discuss

-Oregon wins out, beats Washington in PAC 12 title game
-Texas wins out, wins Big 12
-Alabama wins out, wins SEC
-Florida St undefeated, wins ACC
-Ohio St wins out, wins Little 10

My 4
1) Ohio St
2) Florida St
3) Oregon
4) Texas

Basically would come down to does Alabama deserve a spot above Oregon or Texas? Texas no because they lost H2H. Oregon and Bama would have similar resumes

Texas is trash. I doubt they win out. Georgia gets their spot after a close SECCG.

Texas doesn’t deserve a spot. The B12 is complete garbage

What happens if Washington wins out and everything else stays the same in your scenario? Undefeated Ohio State, Washington and Florida State and a one loss Texas, Bama and Georgia.

In no universe is a 1-loss SEC champ getting left out of the CFP. Bama would be in, and rightfully so.

That's a no-brainer. Undefeated FL ST and OH ST are in. Oregon redeems it's only loss to an undefeated WASH so they're in.
It comes down to either TX or AL as the 4th, and head-to-head is the number one consideration in any tie-breaker on the planet.

Agree this would be the 4.

If Bama beats undefeated UGA Bama would get in over Oregon.
Still a lot of ball to be played. OSU and Mich, the Iron Bowl, Oregon St is not a gimme for Oregon, Texas is struggling right now. Conference title games coming. Just don't see all above holding serve.

In this scenario, Bama would jump Oregon. Have a hard time seeing the committee telling the SEC "no thanks" if things play out like that.

1.Ohio State vs 4.Bama

2.Florida State vs 3.Texas

Oregon and Washington both still have to play Oregon State though, and they seem pretty solid.

After the way both Michigan and OSU have looked in the playoffs in recent years I hope the committee has learned a serious lesson and passes over both schools.

I'll worry about it if we actually get to that point.

So you put a 12-1 Texas in over a 12–1 UGA and 12-1 Bama team(SEC Champ)I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Ohio State

They might flip Oregon and Bama, but Texas would be out.

As is normally the case who is most likely to be one of the 4 best teams in the country after 12 or 13 games? Does Texas beat Alabama now in a nuetral site game? Unlikely. Does anyone not named Alabama beat UGA anywhere? Unlikely. As was the case last year and the year before that Alabama and UGA are the best teams in the country in November, maybe not in September in the case of Alabama but by the second week of December if Alabama still has only one loss there is little doubt that Alabama and UGA would beat anyone in the nation given a month to prepare and get healthy. The winner of the SECG gets in. If UGA wins the SEC no one is beating UGA. If Alabama wins the SECCG UGA doesn't get in without some help but there is little doubt that Alabama would beat anyone with a month to prepare and get healthy.

You think you're trolling Bama fans but you're only trolling yourself. The Sec winner is getting in. Everyone on this board knows it. If you don't, then you are a first class idiot.
