Even if you don't hate either team, it's kind of satisfying that the great record/bad defense teams (Tennessee & USC) both eventually got blown out.
I don't hate any program except Notre Dame.

But I agree with you 100%. I can't stomach watching teams that play zero defense. You don't have to be the best defense ever. But at least make tackles and give some effort. The games I saw of USC this year- that defense was atrocious. You're never winning a natty with a defense like that. I don't care how good your QB and offense are.

OSU is perfectly able to beat Georgia.
Depends on if they get JSN back or not imo. I think if he's back on the field that changes things dramatically for OSU, because Marv + JSN are both uncoverable. I don't know how you cover both.

I get that argument because Bama's losses were both close so they are two plays from undefeated. 

The problem for Bama is that if  you are going to raise the vlose game issue, Bama is also three plays from 7-5.

Close wins are irrelevant if you are a P5 and go undefeated but once you lose and especially if you lose twice, they are a legitimate issue.

No reason Bama should jump OSU.

I just hope TCU doesn’t lose because I’ll be a little sick if Bama sits at home with two losses and leaps over over a 12-1 P5 team.

So after USC loss, if favorites win tomorrow, I'd project:

Fiesta:  Michigan vs. TCU
Peach:  Georgia vs. Ohio State

Rose:  Utah vs. Penn State
Sugar:  Alabama vs. Kansas State
Orange:  Clemson vs. Tennessee
Cotton:  Tulane vs. USC

If TCU loses in anything but a blowout, I think they stay in now, but drop to 4th.  If Purdue wins, they go to the Rose Bowl and Penn State is probably pushed out of the NY6 all together (it's possible Penn State jumps USC but I would bet against). Alabama's slim hope is now that Kansas State beats TCU by a massive amount.

I kinda believe they should but since they had to go and schedule Austin Peay a week before the Auburn Game - screw them

This is a clustertruck. If we selected just two CFP teams, it would be Michigan and Georgia. The top 2 most years are not much in doubt.
Under the old bowl system it would be Mich. v. Utah in the Rose Bowl. Sorry Utah.
And, Georgia would play a highly ranked team in the Sugar Bowl - perhaps TCU - if TCU were to defeat K-State in the Big 12 Championship, which is far from certain - we'll know in several hours.
MNC would likely be who in the bowl scenario??? We could argue about it for 100-years, and you cannot diminish the fun in arguing - nicely.
In the bowl scenario, Michigan and Georgia most likely win over Utah and TCU.  I would guess Georgia would win the beauty contest as they are ranked #1, coming into the bowl season.

Depending on how far back we go in the "old bowl system" B12 conference champ TCU would be automatically tied to the Fiesta Bowl, or SWC champ TCU would be automatically tied to the Cotton Bowl.

Sugar Bowl and Cotton/Fiesta Bowl would have invited the next best eligible non-conference-champ or independent.

I hadn't watched USC all year, obviously their tackling was, um, nonexistent?  I don't know much about fundamentals of tackling, but they seemed not to have anything there.  I have not seen so many woofs in a college game in ... a long time.  And I agree in a CFP, that would have been death for USC against anyone else.  Maybe they could win a shoot out but I doubt it, maybe it would be like the OU-UGA game in 2017, but OU tackled better than USC does.

Maybe that OU team and USC have something in common, I'm not sure what it is though.

and the best case imo, would be the BCS system where Georgia would play Michigan in the Orange bowl
and it would be settled on the field
a great matchup between undefeated and deserving teams

Ohio St and the Utes in the Rose
Bama and whomever in the Suga

when K-state lost to TCU earlier, the Kitties were up 28-17 at the half
top two QBs knocked out of the game, #3 QB plays the second half and they get shutout
TCU wins

their last 3 games - very good QB play
31-3 over Baylor
48-31 over West Virginny
47-27 over Kansas

I think K-State wins
