How about we all just celebrate Utah winning tonight and sliding the Buckeyes back into the playoff to get a 2nd chance at Michigan?

no way they do a 1st rd rematch. 

it'll probably be UGA vs Buckeyes and Michigan vs TCU in the semis if Utah wins tonight.

I don't think Utah is going to win tonight however. It's REALLY hard to beat the same team twice in a college football season. Look at all the rematches that happen in CCG's, BCS, or Playoff. I think the team getting 2nd crack is almost undefeated. Which is why I'd rather not have to play Ohio State again. But if it happens, it happens. Bama and Tennessee crapped the bed and blew their shots at sneaking in the backdoor.

no it wouldn't. look at the ratings in the rematch games in playoffs/bcs- they were not good. that lsu-bama one was one of the lowest rated ever. people don't want to see the same teams play again. 

a UGA-Michigan or USC-Michigan final would get WAY better ratings than a Mich-OSU rematch would.

Urbs mind is a football super computer. Dude has football IQ through the charts, no wonder why he was such an all-time great coach in college.

First of all I think USC is going to murder Utah. They are so much better a team now than they were the last time they played.

Secondly I have to agree with MDOT 

People don’t like to see rematches.

very likely outcome I think as well. USC lost by 1 point on a last second 2pt conversion on the road in Utah. have a hard time seeing them losing on a neutral site in a rematch.

It is interesting that if Utah wins tonight, IMHO all four CFP spots will be locked up before Championship Saturday. 

Georgia and Michigan are obvious even with CG losses already.

A USC loss effectively eliminates the 11-2 non-Champion Trojans. That pits TCU (even if they lose) and tOSU in.

If TCU loses there would be much wailing and gnashing of teeth but who would go ahead of them?

I assume that the committee would set their rankings to avoid a first round rematch so if Georgia and Michigan both win tOSU is #4 regardless. It is a little more complicated if Michigan wins but LSU pulls the upset or if Purdue pulls the upset but in either case I think they'd just find a way to make it work.

Utah had to beat Oregon twice to win the Pac last year.

yeah he might be a scumbag but damn he knows more about football than just about any coach I have ever heard speak. he's got football genius in him. football IQ is through the roof....which partly explains why he was such an all-time great CFB coach. think the only guy you could put ahead of him is Saban, but he's not far behind.

I hope TCU loses by a field goal.

Then the rankings will be Georgia number one Michigan number two, USC number three TCU number four

I think Michigan is better than Georgia this year. With McCarthy 2.0, in other words this year‘s version, I think they’re too much for Georgia to handle. I was at that game last year and Michigan needed a mobile quarterback.

The matchup I want to see his Michigan versus USC. USC has The potential to turn a game with Michigan into a track meet.  The potential to turn a game with Michigan into a track meet 

I think they could make it interesting, but of the four teams remaining I think Michigan is the strongest
