Big If's,,,,But if Clem beats Mia,  Wis beats Ohio St, Okl beats TCU,  no chance Bama gets in no matter who wins between Aub and Geo

Had Mia not lost to Pitt,then it would be even less a chance Bama gets in.  Mia would go if they beat Clem,,that could be an opening for Bama as would be if Wisky,or Okl lose

For the TV Ratings,,Bama would probably still draw more and if Aub wouldn't have lost to LSU it would help Bama by only losing to a one loss Aub team,that being to Clem

A whole lot of football to be played before deciding the final 4,,should be interesting for sure

Punish them for playing Mercer late in the season.

Just can't see Bama getting in as they aren't even playing for the SEC championship.

Ohio st got in 2 years ago in a similar situation. If Wisconsin loses next Saturday, Bama will be in the playoff.

Ohio State might get in if they hammer Wisconsin. Bama didn't even win a division of their conference, and their resume is weak. The committee is supposed to give weight to conference champions. Alabama isn't nearly the team they've been the past several years.

Bama is 90% out. The SEC winner, Big10 winner and ACC winner are in, only chance for Bama is if Oklahoma loses and they won't.

OU lost to iowa state and Miami lost to a team ranked 58. 
If Auburn beats UGA again they should be in along with Bama . If not then its UGA and Bama. SEC is getting 2 
Wisconsin doesnt have any marquee wins all year but an undefeated B1G team will get in and OU should be the 4th , if they win the Big12 as their loss was probably the better of the losses compared to Clemson or Miami. If OU loses to TCU then the ACC champ is in.
reeeeeeeeeee


You think Clemson should be left out as long as OU beats TCU???
Not so sure about that.

I will be pissed if Miami beats Clemson and gets in over Bama. Their ND win gets watered down every week. And at least Bama beat FSU when they had their stud QB for 3 quarters. Miami barely beat them. Not crazy about Whisky getting in but they cannot be left out if they win.

All those teams were far worse then losing at Auburn.
there really should be a rule if you are number in the rankings and you get beat by a ranked team you are officially out. None of this you slide in because you have a lot of fans and you win someother game thats b.s.

"They" must mean the south. The other P5 conferences try to schedule the "A-B-C" OOC games..........the SEC takes it a step further with a "D" game late in the season, while other teams are playing conference games. They should be getting called out for it. There's no reason they can't play nine conf. games like everyone else.

 Alabama is still in the mix........& the only two-loss team with a shot is Auburn, plain & simple.

USC and Ohio St have a shot.  There may be some reluctance to put in a second SEC team (and this is a down year for the SEC) in front of a conference champ.     USC and Ohio St would both make for good TV ratings too....

I think a 2 loss TCU would get in ahead of a 2-loss USC or Ohio State. Better quality wins, the win against Oklahoma would propel them ahead, especially with Oklahoma beating Ohio State

The difference is: 1-loss vs 2-losses.........if you look at it individually, both USC & ohio st. have blowout losses (two for OSU) on their resume's. None of these teams has a signature win &, quite frankly, the way the media/committee has treated Wisky this year, it would be hard to turn around & claim an ohio st. win vs the badgers would be worth a lot.

And it was the right call. I hate Alabama, but I'm shocked at how many people here seem to have very little grasp of the CFP system. This was the easiest prediction of the year. It also had nothing to do with favoritism.

***If the committee was going to subjectively pick who they thought were the top 4 teams, then they wouldn't release any versions of that poll before the final one. Holy crap. It's not that hard.
CFP never said conference winners were automatically in.
