NCAA: Week 12: Leave It to the Beavs

[Uncle Rotter]

That’s what I say. Washington has beaten #6 and Oregon State probably stays in the top 20.

Don't forget them beating Arizona as well

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Gritty win for the Huskies. Wins by them and Oregon next week will set up a de facto quarterfinal in the Pac 12 title game.

Washington's already in.

Tulane and UTSA in a de facto AAC semi-final game next week

Winner will play SMU barring something insane happening

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Congrats to MI on being the first to 1k wins.

 

[JTBF81]

Washington's already in.

Yeah, just was saying that matchup would be a quarterfinal in all likelihood.

 

[JTBF81]

For anyone interested in maximum chaos, the following scenario, while unlikely, would be quite something:
UGA loses to Bama
FSU falls to Louisville
Texas wins out
Oregon wins out
UM/OSU winner gets stunned by Iowa
There could conceivably be 8 12-1 teams for the committee to consider for 4 spots(not to mention the 11-1 UM/OSU loser, which some will try and make an argument for as well). Good luck to the committee in that scenario lol.

New Mexico wins at Fresno State. Big college Saturday for that state.

In This situation it should be

Bama #1
Texas #2
Oregon #3

Ohio State/Michigan/Georgia/Louisville/FSU all in contention for #4? Yikes.

The committee would probably go with Georgia.

But the committee would probably put Georgia #2 or #3 and Texas #2 or #3. So you remove the SEC rematch, the Texas-Bama rematch in the semis.

There would be a argument to be made that if Georgia loses to Alabama in the SEC title game in a close game say OT that both teams could make it. It would be much easier if Georgia wins out. Just seems there is a very good team that will get left out. Of course there is always chaos on championship Saturday so we will see.

Unless Georgia gets their doors blown off, they are a lock with 1 loss

 

[Tony Romo]

I'll just take a big 12 title. Everything else is in God's hands. Texas is building to be pretty set up when there's a 12 team playoffs.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

UM/OSU winner gets stunned by Iowa

Iowa would have to score an awful lot of safeties for that to happen

 

[LT]

Give me an 11-2 Iowa in the playoffs

 

[GKJ]

Give me an 11-2 Iowa in the playoffs

Next year.

So I've been down with a migraine for the last 56 hours, miss anything good yesterday?

Jordan Travis had his ankle snapped in half vs. North Alabama, but no upsets.

Washington should jump FSU. Nobody wants to see them get their ass kicked in the playoff with a back up QB

Maybe, but if the committee put a 1 loss Georgia in over anyone of 3 possible undefeated major conference champions(Big 10 winner, FSU, Washington in this case), it would be a pretty bad look. Regardless of whether UGA may be seen as a top 4 team, the facts would be they would be a 1 loss non conference winner, and you'd have 3 13-0 major conference winners. Excluding a team that ran the table in one of the power 5 conferences would just further diminish any credibility and integrity of the committee and playoff imo.

The scenario is that there’s no undefeated teams though

Oh, yeah, if it's a bunch of x-1 teams, then yeah, UGA is almost a lock with a close loss to Bama.

U-M favored over Buckeyes for 1st time in 5 years

Ohio State has not been an underdog to a Big Ten team in five years. Michigan is poised to end that streak Saturday.

NCAA doing everything in their power to avoid having a distraction like Michigan in the playoff. Any other time they’d slow play this whole thing until the season is over. Not this time, interviewing players during the biggest game week of the season just to get more information out of them
