Moving on from this completely dead horse, who do we like in these games?

Texas versus Washington is a great matchup and I don’t know who to favor there but I’ll go with Texas in a close one.  

Alabama versus Michigan should be a great matchup as well and I think I’m liking Michigan to win by a touchdown or less

No outcomes would surprise me, I think all 4 teams have pathways to beating all of the other three.  So this is my initial hunch, won't be surprised if it's wrong.

Bama over Mich
Texas over UDubb

Texas over Bama


Kinda like everybody yammering about how Oregon is really the best team even though they didn't win, and how they're gonna whip the Huskies in the rematch.....I am hearing a lot about how great Alabama is and how they'd definitely beat Texas now.

All depends on which Bama team shows up.  The other three have been relatively consistent, particularly of late.  If Alabama circa the SECCG shows up, they can defeat any of the other three.  If Bama circa the Iron Bowl shows up, they're going to lose to Michigan in the first round for sure.

The gap between those three from top to bottom is so miniscule as to be meaningless.
Agreed as the difference is not a relevant number. If you were to ask me which game I thought would have been a far greater draw, with a noticeable number, it would have been Penn State v OSU. I guess OSU v Notre Dame would be encompassing the two schools with the largest fanbases so that would make sense and I guess the Big10 title game had the total amount of Big10 fans because there was no other conference games on for a distraction. 

I just think on an average saturday, the game that would have been most intriguing based on the matchup would be OSU v PSU. And since I'm already overthinking the topic substantially, the kickoff time of non probably brought down viewership of OSU v PSU versus if it was an 8 pm kickoff. So there's my contribution to irrelevant, meaningless overanalysis of the viewership numbers ha.

I think the top four are so close the outcome will depend, as often is the case, on the usual unpredictable events.  UGA fans are complaining about a reception call on fourth down that probably should have been reviewed, but wasn't.  OK, fine, maybe the game hinged on that one play, maybe not.  The teams were really close in capability, and I think the same is true for Ohio State and the four in the mix.  I see five teams that probably have no more than a 55% chance of winning the next game if they were matched up.

Missouri I think would put up a pretty good fight as well.

They definitely started fights with LSU and Arkansas.  As for playing football, I think they'd lose to all 4 playoff teams.

Also quarterback injuries. Those can put a pretty big dent in the line
Interesting.

Ohio State has gone from a 6.5 point favorite over Missouri in the Cotton Bowl- to a 1 point underdog.  

The shift is likely due to the OSU QB hitting the transfer portal.  

Perhaps we need to eliminate OSU and replace them with another team??
