First I come in peace...Not an attack post. Just want to throw a scenario that I think can play off and get some thoughts:

Here’s something to toss around weekly as we get closer:

As of 10/24/2017:

1. Both UGa and Alabama wins out. UGa wins a Close one.

2. Notre Dame Runs the Table

3. Penn State wins out

4. TCU Wins out.


My take:

1. UGa

2. Penn State

3. TCU

4. Alabama

5. Clemson

6. Notre Dame

Thoughts: Notre Dame will get punished by not paying that extra championship game and TCU gets rewarded.

I would like to say Clemson would jump Alabama as the ACC Champ but I have my doubts. Perhaps how bad Clemson beats FSU would be the common denominator…But I think Alabama gets the love.

If this plays out, ND would have to join a conference

BS that they are even allowed into the bowl system without playing in a conference. I give them credit for scheduling some difficult games, but why be so stubborn!!!

I doubt they'd have UGA/Bama play twice in a row.

In your scenario Bama would get left out of the four team playoff. If Bama and Georgia do indeed play in Atlanta, that SEC Championship game will be a playoff elimination game. The loser in Atlanta will get left out regardless of how close the score is.

Here’s chaos:

1) LSU wins out with a close, close win against Alabama.

2) Georgia wins out and is #2 in the SECCG.

3) Alabama finishes 11-1 and blows out Miss St and Auburn.

4) Clemson wins out.

5) Notre Dame wins out.

6) TCU loses.

7) Penn St loses but wins Big Ten.

8) LSU beats Georgia by a hair to win the SEC.

We’ll assume other bubble teams lose.

LSU - Conference champion. 2 losses with wins over Alabama and Georgia. Losses to Troy and Miss St.

Alabama - 1 loss to conference champion. Undisputed #1 for most of season.

Georgia - 1 loss to conference champion. Win over Notre Dame.

Notre Dame - 1 loss to Georgia.

Clemson - Defending champ. Conference champ. 1 loss to Syracuse.

TCU - 1 loss. Conference champ.

Penn St - 1 loss. Conference champ.

Who goes? Who’s left out?

2. Penn State

3. TCU

4. Alabama



There is a less than 0% chance that the committee would have 2 teams square off in the playoffs literally the very next game after they just played each other. Like negative percent.

Are you suggesting that UGA wins the SEC Championship?

1st - no way does a 1 loss ND get left out - will not happen

It would come down to a 1 loss Clemson or Miami vs an undefeated TCU

Either way, TCU is fricked

Defending champ Clemson or 1 loss Miami (assuming loss to ND) gets the nod over TCU

Heads explode and this becomes the reason that playoffs go to 6 or 8 teams

I could be wrong, ACC may get left out

Either way, the pressure to add teams to the playoffs gets overwhelming

But there is a Zero% chance the Irish get left out

ND would have a better argument than this forum would give them credit for.

Bama will have a loss to the one good team they played, and a bunch of wins over the 8-4 SEC West. ND will have gone 4-1 against the top 25, with the only loss against the #1 team. I think ND would get that #4 spot, surprisingly.

The ultimate scenario is when Notre Dame runs the table and finishes 11-1, and goes to the College Football Playoff over a 12-1 Georgia (after losing in the SECCG).

Because it would happen.

Where it would get really fricked up is if Auburn beat UGA and Bama then beat UGA again in the SECCG
