Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

There are certain schools that get top shelf recruits while others fight over the table scraps, and the pre season rankings reflect this. 

The table scraps often play with a chip on their shoulder though, in an effort to prove that they're not table scraps. 

The top shelf recruits, conversely, are only thinking about the NFL for the most part. 

So often times the teams full of table scraps will beat the teams full of top shelf recruits. 

That's one of the many dynamics that make it all so wildly entertaining. 

"Champions of Life Bowl".

I like it.

Q) How do you keep Michigan fans from attending your sporting event?

A) Hold it in Indianapolis.

Remaining playoff contenders barring a two loss malestrom, which would be entertaining:

UGA Alabama
Miami Clemson
Oklahoma TCU  (play today of course)
Wisconsin
Notre Dame

The field is narrowing, as is expected.  UGA would remain viable with a loss today, as would Miami and Wisconsin and Alabama. The rest would go to 2 losses with a loss, unless I erred.

We could have a two loss team in the top four this year.

Most likely two loss team?  Maybe Oklahoma.  Michigan State?  Most likely CG loser to make it?  SEC or ACC?

hey, if we have a couple 2 loss teams in the final four, the committee will have to make some choices and hopefully give huge credit to SoS

Yep, safe to say Washington's loss killed the Pac-12's playoff hopes. As for the conference title race itself, there is now a 3 way tie between UW, WSU, Stanford. If WSU wins out they're in the CCG. UW needs to win out AND a Stanford loss to Cal to make the CCG. Stanford needs to beat Cal AND another WSU loss to make it.

I don't know why Wisconsin can't make it.  Maybe they don't, but they could.

I also am seeing a better chance of a two loss team sneaking into the mix now.

All of us here are wary about putting too much emphasis on one outcome.  Ohio State goes from the Iowa game to the MSU game in one week.  It happens.  Could they make the playoff still?  Two percent chance?

Oklahoma still looks good, and they have the QB to make a run.  Clemson looks solid, also with a good QB.  Alabama is solid but perhaps not the granite rock they had appeared to be.  Wisconsin keeps winning.
