Well, Bama has almost clinched the SEC W.  A&M is a weird team.  I guess Purdue is as well.


I don't think A&M's a weird team.  I just think there's a ton of parity in the SEC West.  Most of those teams are decent but not great.  Even Alabama is not as good as they have been in many recent years.

This is definitely the Year of the Dawg in the SEC, your team looks so solid and well-coached.

Mebbe so, mebbe everyone is so close to everyone else a team looks good and then bad in successive weeks.  I'd note UGA has not played a top 20 team this year.  Their schedule has been rather light, in reality.

Alabama in the SECCG will be a worthy opponent, even if they're not quite as good as usual.  That should be a pretty solid UGA win, I think.

Is Ole Miss still mathematically alive? I assume the ags are officially out, now.  But I haven't really looked into it that closely.

Bama leads Ole Miss by 1.5 games with 2 to play, so Ole Miss is still technically in the race.  And yes, beating Bama any year would be a great win, but thus far, the Dawgs have not really played a formidable opponent.  Their best wins are Clemson, Arkansas, and Auburn, none of which are top 20 ranked.

You can't really believe this.
A team's best 5 players sit out for non-injury reasons - a newfangled side-effect of the 4-team playoff and you want to pretend like it doesn't alter the outcome? 
Go away.
I believe if Georgia's 5 best players sit out, it's Georgia's problem, not Cincy's
did I type something else?

UGA apparently was hit with the flu yesterday, fairly bad.  Some players tried to go and couldn't.  Some didn't make the trip.  But no one super crucial, they have one LB suspended on rape charges.  I was a bit surprised he was charged if the media reportage was correct (ha).

Oklahoma will split their two game series with OSU2, and Oregon will split their two game series with the Utes. 

Bearcats sneak in.

They're kinda weird. They rolled up 41 points on Bama, 19 on Ole Miss. Per SP+, they lost to 17, 31, 34, but beat No. 2. They have top-flight lines and a great secondary. They have two very good, not Great, backs, one very good receiver and a great tight end, but can't tie it all together. Their offense my be too complicated. And they have the most expensive coach with a pair of somewhat opposed past two seasons in a certain light. 

Interesting, if nothing else.

They also lost their starting QB early in Game 2.  
I know, I know, we shouldn't care about that.

Context is the enemy!!!

My CFP Rankings:
1. Georgia
2. Ohio State
3. Oregon
4. Alabama
I don't think the committee will want two rematches in a semifinal game, but this is not the last week of the season. So this is how I believe the committee should rank the Top 4. 
If Georgia defeats Alabama in the SEC championship game, Alabama will be out with at least two losses. (Ala. plays Arkansas and Auburn to close out the regular season, likely wins, but no gimmes).
Ohio State plays two one-loss teams, MSU and Michigan, to close out the season; absolutely no gimmes for Ohio State.

I'd like to see Georgia, Oregon, Alabama, and Michigan or MSU in it.  Interesting matchups.  

I meant to say Cincinnati, so they get their shot at public embarrassment.

Worst case scenario for the Big Ten is for Michigan St to beat Ohio State but then lose to Penn St while OSU beats Michigan. Then everyone has 2 losses going into the CCG. 

All of that is quite possible too.
