Baylor making a case for the CFP

LSU fanbase burning on missing out on Aranda....settling for Kelly's irish stew..OR..Pride goeth before a fall...should have hired Napier.

A Big 12 title erases that to some extent. They still need some help. They need Cincy and Bama to lose for sure. That puts Georgia and Michigan in for sure. But that debate between 1 loss Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Baylor, and Bama gets very interesting for the final 2 slots.

Baylor lost to 5-7 TCU, so no, they aren't making a case

Why Notre Dame? They got beat in their own house by Cincy.

So they can lose in the playoffs again

42% vs. 50%. A virtual toss up according to them. I think Bama would get the spot given what we now know, that they aren’t getting beat badly by UGA.

SECCG winner is #1 no matter what. Michigan and UGA next in some order…doesn’t really matter. Cincy 4th.

Your theory that 12-1 Georgia gets left out with a blowout loss to Alabama might be put to the test.

Nah, they kept it respectable.
