PAC12 eliminated from CFBPO

[57stratdawg]

Standford goes down at home.

 

[msstate7]

Hurts ND too. They needed Stanford with 1 loss

 

[dorndawg]

Still, can't see a 1 loss ND team out of the 4 this year

 

[patdog]

What if there are undefeated conference champs in the Big 10, ACC, and Big 12 and a 1-loss Bama as champ of the SEC?

 

[57stratdawg]

If the undefeated Big 10 team is Iowa - ND is in.

In that exact scenario, I'm not sure Bama gets in. It seems crazy to say that but resume-wise they would be struggling to stack up to ND. I think Bama is better but what is their signature win? LSU? They might have 3 losses soon. Plus they lost at home to a 3 or 4 loss OM and ND lost on the road to #1.

Bama would get in. They still have a ranked (possibly top 10) Florida in Sec championship. Jeff long is committee head... Bama won't be left out

Florida is going to lose to FSU and that's going to take the shine off that win. I think Bama and ND can get in because Baylor or Ok St or both will go down.

What's Notre Dame's signature win in that scenario? A 4-loss Stanford team? You can bet your *** if Bama wins out, they're in. And odds are pretty good the other 3 conferences will have an undefeated champion.

Utah still only has 1 loss. If they finish 12-1 and win the conference, they ought to make the playoff.

 

[hailstate19]

Bama is the best team in the county by far. If they win out they are in. No doubt about it. The only way the sec does not make it is if florida state beats UF and UF beats bama

If Bama & ND are vying for last spot I'm sure the discussions will be more involved than "Hey, hailstate19 on six pack said Bama is the best so they are in." I'm not saying they won't get in. Baylor just lost. But an SEC champ will eventually get left out of this thing and the conference doesn't look too impressive as of right this moment. Also, Clemson looks pretty darn good and hasn't lost yet so let's not crown the Tide just yet. Ole Nick has just as many playoff wins as Derek Mason.

no they lost last night too...that is 2 now for them

 

[patdog]

You're right about one thing. An SEC champ will eventually get left out. And it will probably be this year if Bama doesn't win out. But if Bama wins out, they're in.

 

[coachnorm]

I believe that Alabama saved their butts by scheduling Wisconsin as a signature out of conference game. If all of the top Six finalist scheduled a tough schedule and prevailed, there would be less controversy? Also, I believe that any team with Eight home games should be disqualified from the final Four. A game played against a FCS instead of FBS team should not be counted as a legitimate game for final Four consideration. The final Four committee should ruthlessly punish applicants who schedule FCS teams irregardless of signature games on schedule.

 

[dogfan96]

They have the best defense...

actually they just have the best front 7.. you can get plenty done against their secondary if you can protect your QB...their offense is nothing special and Ohio State and Clemson both have the types of teams that Bama struggles against.. spread offense with elite talent and mobile QBs.

 

[dogfan96]

No chance.. no undefeated P5 champ will ever be left out..

especially if they have to win a conference title game to stay undefeated after the regular season

 

[RocketDawg]

Well ... last year Ohio State lost at home to a team with a terrible record, and the rest of their schedule was weak. They still got in and won the darn thing. So why should Bama be eliminated when they have a much rougher schedule? Their loss to Ole Miss is their only stumble, and one that shouldn't have happened (nor should have OSU lost to Va Tech, but they did).
