9 wins at Nebraska

anything less is not

Frankie would like a word with you.

Circa August, with the schedule we were facing, making a bowl would work.  

But then half the team gets hurt, so that's fun, yet the team puts up its best fight vs Tennessee and Georgia in that circumstance.  FSU falling off a cliff makes that a much more likely win.  Upset LSU.  

So in a curvy, winding way, we arrive back at 6-6 and a bowl working out.

What are a couple reasonably probable if unlikely things that could really upend the committee?  

I was looking at SMU at 7-0 in conference play likely to face Clemson/Miami in a CG.  Seeing SMU getting a bye would be "fun".  Indiana is in a similar position of course and having both of them ending up top 4 would be epic, but I doubt it.  I'm not sold on Indiana at all, yet.

The SEC is a likely mess at the top, maybe Florida can knock off Ole Miss.  Probably not.  Then there is USC possibly taking ND out of it.  And Colorado is tied for the B12 lead, so we "COULD" see SMU/Colorado/Indiana all in the top 4.  Not likely.  Who would have picked that preseason?

There's several ways all 4 top seeds could be traditional "have-nots," but after they enjoy their little byes, they'd be in for a reckoning.

I wonder what a big-boy team does on the frozen blue turf against a one-dimensional Broncos team....

I find it interesting how much "discussion" these rankings generate.  Folks try and glean somehow how the committee "thinks".

The Talking Heads need something of course, I get more information of value around here routinely.  Getting worked up over whether UGA is at 10 or should be 6 is ... a waste of energy for me.

I try and stay relaxed over things outside my control.

As things stand, you'd have SEC teams playing BiG teams and ND up north.
