Playoff Rankings
« on: November 06, 2022, 08:51:48 AM »
Well.. that got shaken up fast.

Georgia is the clear top team. I don't think that can be disputed.

2. Ohio State
3. Michigan 

Who is #4? Million Dollar question, right?

I'm going to go with USC. Their only loss is by a point, on the road at Utah. Oregon has played a tougher schedule, but I can't get past 49-3 to Georgia.

5. Tennessee
6. LSU
7. Ole Miss
8. Oregon
9. Alabama
10. Penn State

The clowns doing the picking will have TCU at #4, by default, just like they tried to shoehorn Clemson in there. 

TCU will lose to Texas and Baylor in the next two weeks - both on the road.

In the end? I see:

1. Georgia
2. UM/OSU winner
3. Tennessee
4. PAC winner or UM/OSU loser

ELA is right. This would be a good year for the BCS to come back.

TCU will be 4th. They were right behind Bama, and Bama lost. As did Clemson and Tennessee.

The new batch of playoff rankings will be...

1) Georgia
2) OSU
3) Michigan
4) TCU

IF TCU remains unbeaten, they'll be in the playoff. They are a better team than Clemson imo. Don't think it's fair to compare the two. Clemson was completely fraudulent. TCU MAY be legit- not sure- don't really think they are- but not sure. Clemson was an obvious fraud however.

I meant for this thread to be more about how WE would rank them, rather than the committee. We're smarter than them.

I am having a tough time with the 4th place team.

1) Georgia 
2) OSU 
3) Michigan
4) Tennessee/TCU/Oregon/USC - could make a case for any one of them. I'd lean towards Tennessee or TCU however. Cannot get over Oregon's 46 point BEAT DOWN at the hands of Georgia and USC just does not play defense, the PAC sucks balls and is softer than baby sh*t.

That is why this would be a great year for the BCS.

The B1G champ is probably in barring some miracle obviously.  There is a small chance  the SEC could get left out, but the conference champ might not make it.  I agree right now about that fourth spot, I'd give it to TCU while expecting that to change.  They are undefeated, Clemson is not.  Often, those come back wins signal a team that is likely to lose going forward (Clemson).  Tennessee oddly enough is in pretty OK shape, it would take a major upset for them not to finish 11-1.  The ACC is out, and the B12 might be out.  The Pac is looking like they SHOULD have an entry between UCLA/USC/Oregon.  Oregon hosts Utah and then has Oregon State to finish, they don't play USC.

We could in theory have a UGA-Oregon rematch ... maybe even in the same stadiuim...

I'm not smarter, I just think it'll take care of itself in a week or two.  If TCU runs the table they should be in.

I think their name hurts them here.

If Oregon and USC/UCLA win out, those schools would meet in Las Vegas for the PAC championship. If this is the case, the winner of that game would probably get the #4 spot.

USC: Colorado, @UCLA, ND
UCLA: Arizona, USC, @Cal
Oregon: Washington, Utah, @OrSU

UCLA has the easiest schedule there, by far. 

Oregon has the toughest maybe. That Civil War game.. you just never know.

I agree.

I think only computers and a few other humans can get over the number of losses

TCU at Texas next week.  in Austin.

it's why only the final ranking counts

I find it odd that Tennessee has a real shot at the CFP IF TCU falls down.  Clemson is gone I think.  The Pac may get one in.  Then it's down to the OSU-UM loser vs 11-1 Tennessee, I think.  We COULD have the following final four:

1.  UGA (They still have a row to hoe though)
2.  OSU
3.  Tennessee
4.  Oregon

... which COULD set up TWO rematches.

Hasn't TCU won 5 of the last 7 vs Texas, and 6 of their last 7 vs Baylor?
