Head of the committee is Oregon's AD.

Under your scenario, 12-1 Oregon is #4.



Only thing is in that scenario Bama would've just beaten Oregon's loss at Auburn. Also, LSU would've beaten them as well. So whomever the loser is Saturday, they would've beaten the team that beat Oregon.

At the end of the day, Oklahoma will have wins against teams with no better then 4 losses and Baylor. UW is going to win out. I expect either USC or ASU to be at 4 losses.

It would be just like Shaw to rip off 4 in a row with Stanford who has Costello back and CU, WSU and Cal to set up at home vs ND.

So, even though OU plays tougher part of the schedule now, Oregon and Utah will be bolstered as well by teams they played improving.

If Oregon wins out, their only loss would have been away from home in the final seconds to Auburn.

The same Auburn team that LSU only best by 3 points at home.

That would not make me comfortable If I was an LSU fan.

there is not a 1 loss conference champion that will get get left out behind a 1 loss SEC division runner up

not this year - 2 loss champ is a different story; but if LSU does not win the SEC, they have zero chance of getting in over a 1 loss Oregon or Oklahoma

The loser of AL/LSU is out if the winner loses in SEC Championship game.

The loser of AL/LSU is gonna have to likely go against PSU/OSU loser , OK, Oregon..all who played in conference championship..two of which may have one...one of which may have lost to #1 seed.

A couple of thoughts. OU will likely pass Utah with a win vs Iowa State. OU will certainly pass Oregon with a win vs Baylor top 10 hopefully next week. Then we play Oklahoma State ranked. Big 12 championship win vs a ranked team. OUs hardest games are still in front. Oregon and Utah only play each other.


By the end of the season, Oklahoma won't have a single win over a team with fewer than 3 losses while Oregon will.

Agree..that extra SEC Champ game could be a thorn in either Bama or LSU’s side, whichever team wins... a loss there could cost either team a spot in the playoffs especially to a 1 loss Georgia team.



And deservedly so, considering how trash Georgia is. I mean, that’s what the rant has been telling us.

Oregon has struggled against mediocre bad teams all year. You can keep yapping about conference championships all you want, and while they are a factor, who you lose to and how you lose, as well as how you win against bad teams, is a bigger factor. Always has been, always will be, because all conferences are not equal, and the Pac-12 isn't much above a Group of 5 conference. Oregon and Oklahoma have no shot in this scenario. The 4th spot will be either the LSU/Bama loser or the OSU/PSU loser. If it's Alabama, they would have beaten an Auburn team in Auburn that Oregon lost to at a neutral site. And year, the first game of the season matters.

2 loss Georgia being ranked ahead of your beloved conference champion Ohio State last year is evidence. Who you lose to and how you lose matters more than anything else.

It's all about the 4 best teams. Period. End of discussion. They aren't going to out an inferior team in just because they are a conference champion. One of these days you might figure that out.

I'm not so sure about this. Utah lose to a decent USC team that could upset any team in the nation. They have a ton of talent.

Oklahoma, on the other hand, got WAXED by KState. Yeah they made it close at the end, but that doesn't change the fact that the 3rd and most of the 4th quarter was K State landing haymakers.

The 4th spot will be a coin flip between the Bama/LSU loser and the Ohio State/Penn State loser. And frankly, I don't like our chances in that situation.



If the loser were Ohio State, I'd agree, bc their resume of arse beatings is pretty significant.

However, if Penn St. lost, they would only have the Minnesota win, and I guess maybe Michigan, as their hallmarks and not a conference championship appearance, so it'll be really hard to give them a nod over other 1-loss teams.

OU needs a lot of losses ahead of them and needs Baylor to stay solid and Texas to get their shite together to bolster their resume. Otherwise, it straight up ain't happening for the Big 12 this year (I guess Baylor could go undefeated LOL)

Oregon is in a good spot if they win out.

Also, Oregon is poised to finish really strong and look very stylish in doing so.

Kayvon Thibodeaux is going to have his coming out party on 11/16.

Actually, 13-0 Clemson could be left out.
