I don't think you fully grasp the hold that ESPN and the SEC have on the rankings. I hope I'm wrong, but I can see them making a case for 2 loss SEC teams even if Baylor were to win out.
Hopefully Baylor loses one more so TCU can get that spot.

Well, yeah, when there's eight of them, probably six of which were questionable at best. I'm not saying Baylor didn't do 20 other things to lose the game, but there were a ton of bad calls against them. I guess if you're going to get screwed by the refs in a game, make it a game where you didn't show up anyway so it doesn't matter.Wait, Baylorfan is actually complaining about bull PI calls?
KSt might slide in
Baylor is basically mini-Oregon. Which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but neither will win a championship with that style of play.
Unlike Oregon, Baylor is perfectly capable of running the ball when they need to. Or they were before they lost two offensive linemen in the last two weeks. They just decided at some point that they just had to show up in order to win, and they got their asses handed to them for it. Maybe the loss will remind them what they're playing for if it's not too late. Probably is, though.
That's true. KSU at TCU later in the year could easily decide the Big 12 unless of course Baylor beats K-State and OU.
If Baylor beats KSU and OU while finishing with one loss, they will be in good shape for a playoff bid. SEC won't get more than two bids.
If ND and Michgan State win out, they are in. Obviously neither Miss school is going undefeated but FSU is.
So FSU
SEC Champ
ND.....they will get the benefit of every doubt.
Michigan State...THE BIG10....the tradition!
A one loss SEC West team will get in over ND and especially Michigan State.
Everyone thinks ND is better than FSU...everyone. So when FSU goes undefeated that will push ND to the top if they win out.
College football has a lot of tradition, no conference anymore than The Big10. If MSU wins out watch what happens.
The 4 best teams are in the SEC West and Georgia isn't too far behind. Getting only one SEC team would be a crime.
I totally agree but NOBODY is as important as ND. They win out they will be there.
FSU isn't going to lose vs that schedule. So there's two, now add the SEC champ and yep the BIG10 stud if at all possible.
You're wrong about the Big10. Michigan St won't go over a one loss Oregon or one loss Big 12 team or a one loss SEC team. Not happening. Everyone knows the Big 10 is by far the worst power conference.
I don't know, man. The voters seem to always manage to rank a Big Ten team way above where they should be. If that team doesn't lose late then anything can happen.
Obviously the Big10 is an inferior conference, no doubt about that. But like I said college football is all about Woody Hayes, Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, student body right, the Heisman. If there is anyway possible a Big10 team can be there they will be. The last thing anyone outside the south wants is two SEC teams in there.
But does Condoleeza Rice know how important Notre Dame is?
Or does Ty Willingham still hold a grudge for getting fired from Notre Dame?
I guarantee someone will get left off to where the fans of that school cry conspiracy regarding the playoff selection committee
I don't know.
I have no doubts there will be every attempt to get as much of the country into it as they can. Not just the south.
ND wins out they are in, that's if FSU wins out. To beat the top ranked team** (which they really did) will be huge.
** both Miss schools will lose a game.
Condoleeza Rice has no business being on the selection committee.
Eh...Condi got her masters at ND. She wasn't even there long enough to unpack her bags. I bet D-Rob has been to more ND football games.
It's beyond stupid. Could they really not find any other prominent women in the sports world to take that spot?
Or any other war criminal for that matter.
Lynn Hickey has been on the NCAA Men's Basketball Selection Committee. She would have been a perfect choice for a spot -- especially as an AD in a prominent football state.
Somebody rioted after beating Baylor? This is what the world has come to.
