I know it's probably not as prestigious as being in the CFP but I'll take a win and possibly a top 4 ranking (not sure how that works) for the year.  I don't think we've finished in the top 4 since '39. 
You will do what UGA did last year, noting that the CFP committee has no final poll, only the AP/UPI (or whatever they call it today).  A&M should end up 3rd.  It'll be amusing to watch Cincinnati drop even though they went toe to toe with UGA and lost on something of a fluke.

Yes it probably worked out best for the ags that Clemson lost.  Putting A&M over 2-loss Clemson and 2-loss Notre Dame will be more palatable for the voters.  A 1-loss Ohio State would have been tempting to leave in front of them, I think, especially if that loss were extremely close.

I figure the AP final poll will be something close to this:

1.  Bama
2.  Ohio State (I'm presuming a Bama win)
3.  A&M
4.  Clemson
5.  OU
6.  UGA
7.  It gets murky here.  Six of the top ten lost their games, which has to be very unusual.  I'll go with Cincinnati.

A very good outcome to an otherwise miserable year.

Yeah, I agree, considering if either of our teams caught the whirlwind and won the NC, it would be dubious.

You think OU and Georgia finish above a Notre Dame team that played in the CFP?

Yeah I wasn't really challenging it, just wondering if he accidentally or intentionally omitted the domers, since he also didn't even mention them as a possibility for #7 and suggested putting Cincy there instead.

Yeah, the Domers will probably finish too high obviously, but they have two bad losses.  I think you are right they will finish 5 or 6.

I think OU will be ranked ahead of Notre Dame because the Irish finished the season losing twice, and badly.

OTOH, Notre Dame will have 10 wins vs. OU's 9.

It will be interesting to see where Clemson finishes.

Amending my "ranking" (of what I expect, not what I'd do), I'd find room for ND at 7 I think and Clemson at 5 and OU at 6, UGA at 8.

Such minor shifts obviously are not important.  Some teams like to claim a top ten finish, which is fine with me I suppose.

Has anyone ever seen 6 of the top ten lose in bowl games?  And we'll add one more technically.
