If TCU were undefeated, you could have a split NC again, possibly.  I rather hope TCU loses and only drops to 4.  Ohio State is still a dangerous team I think.

Of course, I thought USC was also.

TCU likely is better than I can credit.

If TCU loses and drops out (and they might well not), would you choose Bama or Tennessee and why?

the Vols have most arguments over Bama, but

Bama's losses are closer and I think Bama is actually the better team and would be favored if they played again

I'd chose Bama, but I'd rather go with my heart and chose the Vols

fresh blood and all that

One could argue that Tennessee right now isn't as good as they were earlier because HH is out.

I agree Bama looks more dangerous at the moment.

I think both of you have a good point which is why Bama should not be in the convo. The Vols have a better argument but HH out makes them not a threat, therefore the 4 should be locked in. Georgia, UM, TCU and OSU

Lol. So funny. I almost typed that as my only scenario that would change the 4, but I didn’t want to jinx it. If that happens then it’s complete mayhem lol.

The last time K State blew a team out in the Big 12 CCG, it didn't keep Oklahoma out of the MNC game.

but, the Sooners have a shiny helmet

TCU does not

and the SEC doesn't give a damn about the Big 12 after stealing Texas and Oklahoma

If the B1G gets 2, the SEC is really wanna get two

The worst defenses by recent NCs are 2019 LSU, 2014 OSU, and 2010 Auburn.
They all averaged around 22-23 points allowed per game and around 350 total yards allowed  These are not bad numbers in a vacuum, but for a NC team, they're dreadful.
.
This year, USC's defense allows 28 points per game and 415 total yards.  So I'd posit that the Trojans were never actual NC contenders, as their defense was far too poor.  A loss to UCLA, Utah or vs a playoff team was virtually guaranteed.

I've only watched a couple of CFP games since they started this format. If we get 2 B1G vs. 2 SEC then I will continue not to watch the CFP games.

I don't even know why Vandy has a football program.  They should've been like the U of Chicago.

I know several formerly-fanatical college football enthusiasts who haven't watched any of them.  The format just isn't compelling to some folks, including me.  It will only become less so with expansion.
