I would like to see Bama/OSU/ND/TAMU. Clemson pulled a Clemsononing again this year and shouldn't get a mulligan.

It just won’t happen. Seeding is going to be done to avoid


A 6 win team is going to be lucky getting to the 4 spot alone (I think it happens). The 3 seed is a fantasy.

You hope, but they aren’t putting a 6-0 OSU team anywhere other than #4.
So you're saying that a one loss A&M or ND team would be seeded above an undefeated, conference champion tOSU?....MAN, PLEASE!

If Ohio State smokes Northwestern and Notre Dame wins again then Ohio State maybe #3. Yeah, they didn't play as many games but that isn't the coaches and players fault. That's Kevin Warren Big 10 Commissioner fault! They can't help that the commissioner is an idiot! Who will get the #4 spot if Notre Dame wins again? I doubt it be Clemson but who knows with the committee. They make up rules and reasons as they go along. Regardless it's gonna suck that who plays in the Rose Bowl won't have fans in the stands because of California mandates.

Yeah, they played 6 games. The outrage is going to only grow louder after Florida lost and Mullen’s comment of “we should’ve played less games.”

Dabo is hammering the idea of them being included too.

Ceiling is 4.

If ND wins again, A&M would probably be favored to make it in.

I agree with Mullen, but UF is just not a playoff team. And he was advocating for UF to scrap safety precautions after the TAMU game and pack the Swamp. He is emotional and not very intelligent.

That 2014 game was weird. Bama definitely overlooked osu, but also, the 3rd string qb had played one game. How do you prepare for that?

How I feel. If OSU gets in, I'll be excited whether we play Bama, ND or Clemson (don't think OSU could really play anyone else, maybe A&M in some weird scenario?).

It's sad the team wasn't allowed to play more to gel, but this has been a strange year.

I'm just happy we got any sort of football this year

Seeds only matter with 1 and 2.

If A&M gets in they will play #2 Notre Dame.

Reference 2014 (Unbeaten FSU was 3) and 2016 (non-champion Ohio State was 3)

Yea, like I said, it's the playoffs. There aren't easy games.

If Clemson beats ND, ND will be no.4. They wouldn’t want Clemson-Notre Dame part 3 especially when they just played against each other in the last game.

Alabama-ND and Clemson-OSU would be better for ratings.

OSU shouldn't be in there. This sets a horrible precedent.

They didn't have the opportunity to lose to an unranked team in the 10th game. They didn't have the opportunity to lose a starting linebacker.

If OSU gets in they will have a SIGNIFICANT injury/wear and tear advantage and that's bullshite.

It doesn’t matter how many times you say it. A Notre Dame loss to Clemson will drop them to #4. A 2nd Clemson loss and Texas A&M will be #4.

Felt the same way in 2014.

I sure as hell didn’t. I always felt that 2014 team overachieved. They had so many close and sloppy games. This team can play sloppy and still win games by several TDs.

Correct.

If A&M beats Tenn, they will be #3 seed. No one wants ND v. Clemson Vol. III at all, the loser of Vol. II is out.
A first round Bama - A&M rematch will be avoided by giving A&M #3. Given not earned.
