Terrible play call for Northwestern.  Who the hell was he going to outrun to the edge?

Haskins is the best Big Ten QB I have ever seen at the college level.  I now feel confident saying that.  If he winds up in New York with Barkley and Beckham, that'll sell some tickets.  I don't see any way he is back next year.

My whole twitter feed is UGA drum banging. 

As pointed out by Matt Hinton, the committee actually has guidelines for what makes "the best team" beyond the feels: Championships won, Strength of schedule, Head-to-head competition, Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory). 

Beyond that, my goodness, we must crown the Bulldogs. They get all the credit for ... going scoreless the final 27 minutes of the game. For letting a QB whose passing was crapped on all offseason go 7-for-9 for 82 yards. For giving up 6.7 yards per play when the backup came in. Muh goodness. 

THIS is the team that simply must hand a playoff spot. Their best win is a loss, when they blew a two-TD lead, and got outscored 21-0 down the stretch. And ran a fake punt option with the backup QB and punter.

Everyone Catch Haskins flash the Heisman pose?

I still think he ends up 3rd, Fox announcers saying voters have already cast their votes before championship games. 
Best Player on Best Team is the 'bama QB.
Most exciting player on a Great Team is the OU QB.
Best stats from the most overrated 12-1 team 'eva is OSU QB.

Yeah he’s gone. He’ll be a top 10 pick. 
He’s thrown 47 TD passes on the season with another game to play. He’ll crack 50 TD passes on the season. Insane. 
Extremely envious of Ohio State’s offense. That’s the offense I want to see at Michigan.

I really wouldn't worry about UGA in the playoff, guys.  Ain't happening.

Yeah it’s absolutley pathetic. 
They blew a 14 point lead to a back-up that is really a RB playing QB and lost the game.
They have ZERO argument. They’re finished.

I still think he'll be #3 too.  I'll tell you what, these top 3 QBs are all unreal.  This was a showcase day though, and Murray and Haskins showed out.  Tua was awful, and then his team came from behind to win onlymonce he was knocked out of the game.  With only 10% of the ballots already cast, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't wind up winning it, after being the leader all year.  How good has QB play gotten when Will Grier won't even get an invite?  Granted it doesn't help that RB/WRs didn't make a huge case this year.  Taylor and the Memphis kid I assume are nominees for Best RB?  Who else?  I can't even hazard a guess for Biletnikoff finalists.

Talking Heads need to generate controversy. I guess the bigger controversy for OU in the 4th spot was, the 2 loss SEC runner up, versus a 1 loss Big Ten Champ.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So let's say Clemson and OSU win.
Rose:  OSU-Washington
Fiesta:  
Cotton:  CFP
Sugar:  Georgia-Texas
Peach:
Orange:  CFP

So looking at committee rankings:
Michigan
UCF
Florida
LSU
As the next choices are Penn St, Washington St, and Kentucky...

Florida has played Michigan 3x in the past 5 years or so.  And we already beat LSU this year.  I'm afraid Florida will play UCF in the Peach.  Ugh.  LSU-Michigan would be a cool game to watch.  I'd rather see UM play Georgia, though.  Oh well.
I think you have the matches right, but wrong games. UCF was in the Peach last year so I think they go to the Fiesta to avoid a repeat.

I'd love to go to the Fiesta if Florida comes here.  I just don't want it to be against UCF.

Fox had some good comments on playoffs

1) They all had OU 3 and ND 4.
2) Jim Delany / B1G is gonna be super pissed for the Big Ten Champ getting passed over the last 3 years, while arguably having the best division.

The committee doesn't have the balls to do this, but I would shit green and gold if they put ND 5th and said join a conference or miss the playoffs. Could you imagine and ND Clemson ACC title match? That would have been a hella good watch there. instead our last image of ND is struggling against a non-bowl bound team.
