UVA might give Clemson some trouble early on but I fully expect the Tigers to blow out the Cavaliers.

Ohio State should have no problem with Wisconsin.

Oklahoma will probably take care of Baylor.

Utah/Oregon I'm not sure.

LSU should and will likely beat UGA.

The non-power 5 teams I don't pay a lot of attention to so I won't comment.

Ryan Day was named Big10 coach of the year. He was the first Buckeye coach to win that award in 40 years.

Seems like a long time.

Also, Day was born the same year the last time a Buckeye coach won coach of the year.

I don’t believe I mentioned this but Wisconsin beating Minnesota was great news for... you guessed it... PSU.

Basically, since Wisconsin will get smoked again by the Buckeyes, the Oregon-Utah winner is playing for the privilege to get worked by PSU in Pasadena, for the Grandaddy of ‘em all. Redemption for the 2017 Rose Bowl. Beautiful And fitting - PSU was the only team OSU struggled with all year.

Bucky will still go to a nice bowl game for them and I will pull for them to get a W for the B1G.

Do you mean Oregon? I think Utah has a very realistic chance of getting in.

No, I meant Utah.

I think LSU and Ohio State are locks regardless. Clemson shouldn't lose. I think Oklahoma passes Utah if both win. Georgia obviously gets in if they win.

Who has Utah beaten? Their best win is a road win against Washington. A neutral site win over Oregon helps of course, but that would be their best win by a mile.

But you have to consider where they are already ranked. I would agree with you if Oklahoma was currently ranked higher, but Utah is higher right now. The committee already has Utah as the better team, and a win over Oregon only helps that case. I don't see how Oklahoma jumps them unless they absolutely dominate Baylor.

Fair enough. To be honest, I was stunned that Utah was still ranked ahead of Oklahoma.

Same here. But that seems to indicate to me that they have a very good chance of going in. If both are to have similar margins in their victories, I don't see that being enough for Oklahoma to jump them. It could make for one heck of a discussion, though.

The AAC winner is most likely going to the Cotton Bowl. I just don't see potential wins by Boise and Appy moving the needle much, if at all.

And honestly, I forgot that the Pac-12 game is tonight. :laugh:

Ohio State, LSU will advance to the playoff even with a loss on Saturday. Georgia gets in if they beat LSU. Clemson, can they afford a loss? Given their strength of schedule, you'd say no, but they are the defending national champions and people want to see them in it.

So, is a 1 loss Clemson better than a 1 loss Utah and Oklahoma? Of the 3 teams, I think Clemson would put up a bigger challenge to LSU, Ohio State, Georgia than the other 2 teams.

My thing with this Utah-Oklahoma-Baylor debate is why the committee bothered putting Utah at 5 if the winner of Oklahoma/Baylor gets in anyways. If LSU loses, I do think they are out.

Utah figured it out against Colorado, but against Oregon, doesn’t seem they have the horses to keep up.
