CFP Rankings Prediction

[IUNorth]

I don't think there's anyway Oregon drops from 1 to 7 with a loss to Ohio State. The loser of the B10 championship will be the 5th seed unless it's just an absolute blood bath.

Also, Ole Miss handled Georgia, not Bama. Bama and Ole Miss didn't play.

Yeah...Oregon may have dropped too far. But they could be 3rd, behind ND, as an example, and would still be the 6th seed in the actual bracket.

That makes the Bama rankings make more sense then...not sure why I had it in my head they had lost that Ole Miss game?

Good analysis.

Why don’t you like Texas over A&M in Saturday’s game?

Finally, Notre Dame will have their hands full with the Trojans at the Coliseum. I’m going with USC to upset the Irish.

Just a hunch. I was in College Station this summer for an AAU tournament. To say they hate Texas at that school, and in that town, would be an understatement. A&M is very talented, and the red headed step child motivation can be really strong. I also don't think Texas is as good as they've been propped up to be all year.

TONS of controversy here with teams like Bama getting in over Ole Miss, despite Ole Miss handling Bama. And then Texas getting in over Texas A&M, despite losing to them...with the main reason being A&M then losing in SEC title game. Gonna be LOTS of holes in the decisions this year.

Thanks....what a lot of work and effort. Lots of speculation but at this point as good as anyone's guess.

Yes RN I think we would land at 10 but then get reseeded to 11

I can’t wait for this game. A lot of pent up vitriol will make for a wild atmosphere. And if Texas loses their resume looks pretty weak.

The ESPN simulator says if we beat Purdue and miss the Big championship game, we have a 72% chance of hosting a first round game.

All those SEC losses really helped us out.

Would not have expected that but will definitely take it.

Indeed. I was surprised too. But they all keep losing, which is why there's a decent chance the ACC gets two or three in.

Plus Arch isn’t as good(yet) as Ewers.

Curious, do you have red hair? Just curious…😉

Not really...a little red in my beard though?! I'm mostly bald, so I have overall hair envy, for sure.

Unless 2 of GA, TN and ND get upset, we will not get to host, but we are in with a win Sat.

Will be interesting to see what happens with South Carolina. South Carolina is arguably playing the best out of any SEC team the last month or so. They were screwed by officiating against LSU and should have beaten Bama in Tuscaloosa. But they have three losses, two of them to Bama and Ole Miss. Don't see how the committee would put SC in over either of those two given H2H.
