the committee has shown the 2nd to the last poll and the final poll can be quite different
Yup.  I don't really think where they have them placed tonight will ultimately affect anything.  Their "process" is designed so that they can use pretty much any criterion they like to rationalize a move, even if it's nonsense to half of the general college football viewing public.  

My guess is they'll keep them all very close, so they can move them however they like after the CCGs are played with little need to justify anything.

So, you're saying it'll be LSU, Bama, Georgia and Florida then?

Precisely.

Not sure why any of us bothered with this whole "season" thing.

yup, the PAC officiating crews should have done more to screw the Utes during the season so the conference doesn't get screwed next week

Sure, I'll play along.

The Utes would be in if had refs prevented them from losing to USC.

UCS is their helmet, since this game was early in the season, the PAC was protecting their best chance of a playoff team

no one knew USC was going to lose more games and the Utes would continue to win

ya see what happens, Larry?

That 4th slot is nearly always going to be contentious.  IF we have three P5 teams 12-0 or 13-0, the first three will be foregones, other than perhaps the rank order.

The most fun of somewhat possible scenarios has the Dawgs beating LSU and the SEC getting two teams in again.  I like to blow out the Interwebz.

Did your account get hacked by McTerps?

USC had just lost to BYU the week before the Ute game.

not a conference loss and still the shiniest helmet

that have the Utes done for the PAC lately, or since they were admitted, which is lately
