    My top 4:

    1. Ohio State
    2. Baylor
    3. LSU
    4. Clemson

    I think both Michigan St. and TCU have a legitimate chance of making the top four. I don't think it'll happen, but a lot of people think that Baylor will be left off because of their schedule and "QB situation" right now. Remember, the committee didn't penalize Ohio St. last year when their QB went down. Just saying...........

    No doubt. But (as you already know) one of them will not go undefeated. I think TCU has the better chance going forward tbqh....only because of the injury to Russell.

    I think the injuries on TCU's defense is a bigger factor going forward than the injury to Russell.

    It'll all come down to the TCU vs. Baylor game. I think TCU will be able to score points (and a lot of them) against Baylor. Just don't see Baylor matching their score in a "shootout" type game...

    But, right now/for tonight.......I got Baylor in the top 4.

    Freshmen are able to step in and perform right away in spread offenses these days, ie Winston, Johnny ff, Mariota... Stidham is a five star recruit.....he's looked decent in junk time, I think Baylor can hang 50 on TCU just like Tech did.

    Too bad they didn't schedule Middle Tennessee, Louisiana-Monroe and Charleston Southern like Alabama did.

    Do you really want to compare Alabama's #3 SOS to Baylor's #103 SOS?

    You're only looking at the ty teams Alabama has played. Baylor has played plenty of ty teams also. Baylor still has TCU to play and Alabama still has LSU to go. A lot can change in a few weeks....

    FWIW...I thought you guys would make the top 4.

    Show me the quote where he said that there will be two SEC teams in the playoff....because it's not ITT.

    No, I agree with you for the most part, it's the reasoning that bugs me. You are correct that I am looking at the ty teams Alabama has played. Since I keep hearing people ting on Baylor's non-conference schedule, I do want to compare them a bit, because let's face it: that one game against Wisconsin, while a huge quality win, isn't enough to vault Alabama that high, is it? Now, eight SEC teams being in the pre-season top 25, on the other hand. To the voters, West Virginia and Texas Tech are ty teams because they've lost to Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, but somehow Tennessee is still getting votes in the coaches' poll.

    As a Baylor fan, I don't really mind that Baylor isn't there right now, because everyone knows that they have their fate in their own hands. If they it up, it's on them. But I'm really sick of talking heads saying that Art Briles doesn't schedule enough good teams in his non-conference schedule and that's why a one-loss Alabama team makes the ing top four. Anybody that follows the SEC knows that they've been scheduling cupcakes out of conference as long as the Big 12 has. It just feels like they're making sure to get LSU and Alabama as high as they can so they can make sure there's at least one SEC team in the playoff at the end of the season, even if it has a loss or two, just like they jam as many SEC teams into the pre-season polls based on their recruiting class rather than their record to make sure losses can be minimized.

    What a ing joke. Bama lost a game badly to a hole team, and almost lost to Tnnessee at home. And Notre Dame being number 5, ahead of 5 undefeated big 5 conference teams? This is seriously so ty it isn't even funny. The is rigged to favor "big names" over actual play on the field. Bama shouldn't even be in the 10 top, they don't even control their own destiny. ing joke.

    Yeah, until they figure out an 8 team playoff system with the power 5 conference champs plus 3 at large, this committee is gonna suck.

    This has nothing to do with the SEC. It's Bama bias, plain and simple. It's how they leapfrogged Okie State in 2011 for the BCSNG berth. Brand equity. Bama, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State will always get the benefit of the doubt no matter what.

    Is it fair? no. But what are you going to do about it? Beat them? And then what? Beat them again? That's what LSU had to do in 2011. They couldn't do it.
