The Vandals won their final FBS game, beating Georgia St 24-10.

Not sure where I stand with Jarrett Stidham as far as a Pro prospect. He definitely has the sturdy Matt Ryan build and the arm to boot, but it looks like he's always playing a step too slow, whether it's advancing through progressions, getting the pass out, or committing to a scramble.

Either way, transferring to Auburn was a great decision and with two more seasons of eligibility he's got plenty of time for improvement and racking up the number of starts that NFL GMs like to see.

I think opposite.  If Auburn loses it means Alabama's one loss was to a three loss non champ.  If Auburn wins it might mean Alabama is simply the second best team.
I think that reasoning is solid.  If you want to keep Alabama out, root for Georgia.

Oklahoma's thumping of TCU would give a little bit of help to tOSU if the Buckeyes were to win tonight.  A close Sooner win wouldn't have been much help, if any, but that domination of TCU can't help but make the Buckeye's loss to OU look better.

Georgia blocks a field goal and holds on to a 10-7 lead

Give Mayfield the Heisman. The kid is a jackass but he's also the best player in CFB. That was a solid TCU defense he made look silly (twice).
Even if Tate started the whole season and Arizona went say 9-3 I don't think the voting would have been close. Mayfield is clearly the best player this year.

Who do we root for?
I'm thinking Auburn. If they win then that kind of hurts Alabama's argument no? We already saw that match-up, and Auburn clearly dominated. That game wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated it was.
This game has been sloppy and not really an ad for 2 SEC teams. That being said no matter who is the winner I can't see OSU getting in over Bama unless they win by say 30 tonight.

If Gawja hangs on Bama would have lost to a 3 Loss Auburn - not a resume builder.UW is in with a win tOSU 60/40 with a win

I have a feeling that the Dawgs will be sneaking into the Playoffs this year.

It isn't sneaking when you kick the front door in.

Mercifully, I think the Badgers will put an end to this shitty debate of Alabam/Ohio State.

But on the odd chance Ohio State does find a way to win, This Georgia win gives the committee an easy out to pick Bama.

With Auburn losing, there will no longer be a precedent for a 2 loss conference champion getting in. And they don't need to start one.

I have no problem with that, even though Bama does not have a single win over a team I think is decent. What will sting is having 2 SEC teams in and no Big Ten when I think the Big is a superior conference this season.
