No way this ends up happening, would kill ratings. People want to see new matchups

OU and A&M were lucky to win those games. First round exits coming for both.

GA won’t stay at 3 when they beat bama

I assume Indiana will change too

Objectively it probably doesn’t matter because if Bama loses the SECCG they very likely fall to 10 and it would be A&M-Bama and OU-ND/BYU.

My guess is UGA wins:
1) OSU/IU Winner
2) UGA
3) OSU/IU Loser
4) Tech (w/ win over BYU)

If Bama wins:
1) OSU/IU winner
2) OSU/IU loser
3) Tech (w/ win over BYU)
4) Bama

A “Current Rankings” bracket doesn’t mean anything before the conference championship games.

You really expect OSU and IU to remain #1 & #2 after one loses this weekend?

Personally, I’d much rather see Bama v. A&M and Oregon v. Notre Dame than a rehash of two regular season games.

I think anyone involved would rather see one of the other two iterations than a rematch, particularly of a game that just happened a few weeks ago.

This isn't what it's going to be, so it's kind of silly really.

Yes...we must be the luckiest team on the planet to have won 4 straight through the SEC gauntlet. Whorns sure as Hell didn't get that "lucky"

Or if Bama wins they jump A&M and OU bumping Aggies to 8 and OU to 9.

2012 A&M vs OU cotton bowl rematch would get some ratings.

Bama wins they’ll be in the 4-5 range.

Like I said there is basically no scenario where we see the current bracket hold IMO.

I don’t want ND in the playoff, but I like them in a rematch with Aggie.

We weren’t scared to play them in Tuscaloosa and we certainly aren’t scared to get them again in Norman
