Line: Oregon -14.5
Arizona has beat Oregon both this year and last year, and is coming off two straight wins over ranked opponents. Oregon hasn't played a decent squad in over a month. Can 'Zona pull out the upset?
Line: 'Bama -14.5
'Bama is severely overrated by the playoff committee and has looked beatable all year. They should have two losses if not for LSU performing a coat hanger self-abortion, and almost lost to Arkansas as well. Mizzou won the SEC Est and haven't beaten a ranked team all year, while losing at home to Indi
Line: TCU -33.5
Not much to say here, Iowa State has a good a chance of winning this game as the Lakers making the playoffs
Line: FSU - 4.5
FSU, despite being undefeated for a 2nd year running is ranked 4th by the Playoff Overlords for a reason. The last 3 weeks they've won games against cakewalk unranked opponents by a total of 12 points. GT is coming off a big win against their instate rival and a demolishing of a decent Clemson squad the week before. Can they ride their hot streak and finally give FSU the loss they've deserved all year?
Line: Wis -4
The boys in Vegas have Wisconsin favored and for good reason. OSU lost their QB for the season and will trot out a redshirt Soph who's never started a collegiate game while Wisconsin survived and injury scare and will have their Heisman candidate running back in uniform on Saturday.

This should be a doozy. Baylor was in cruise control last week, up big against TTech when their QB went down with an injury and they barely survived an embarrassing collapse at home to a terrible team. KState has looked shaky on the road this year, having only won in Norman due to one of the worst kicking choke jobs we've seen this season in the NCAA. KState definitely has the revenge factor in their favor, trying to do to Baylor what Baylor did to them two years ago: knocking them out of the Championship picture.
I've got:

It's gonna be real difficult for Arizona to beat Oregon twice in the same year...
That said, Rodriguez was brought to Arizona for two reasons: offensive speed from a spread attack and a 3-3-5 system built to stop teams like Oregon.
If Anu plays like he did last two games, Arizona will win.
This team was assembled to not just hang with, but defeat Oregon.
All favorites except Baylor. I think K State takes that one.
Kansas State wins in a blowout.
Arizona
Alabama
TCU
Fl St
Wisconsin
Baylor
Top 4 after this week:
Alabama
TCU
Fl St.
Arizona (because the committee hates Christians)
Iowa St.
Make your predictions
Just because your ty team was exposed doesn't mean you can't engage with the remaining National Champion participants.
Who will you root for if Bama loses to Mizzou?
In the Big 12 it's not "championship week". It's just the last game of the season tbh....
KState Baylor winner is conference champion. Do you not understand what I just posted? NCAA rules do not allow a championship game if you have under 12 teams. Or are you just ignorant and continuing to fail reading comprehension 101?
In the Big 12 it's not "championship week". It's just the last game of the season tbh....
Pretty sure I just saw that if TCU wins (and they will) they will be co-champions. Is that correct or did I read the ESPN crawler wrong?
I read the same thing..
Big-12 says that for the Playoff Overloards, they are considered co-champions.
If Big-12 has to decide on who to send to a top-6 bowl, tiebreaker goes to Baylor.
The Big 12 would officially leave the TCU-Baylor debate in the hands of the College Football Playoff selection committee, commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a teleconference on Monday.Should No. 5 TCU and No. 7 Baylor both win Saturday and each finish the season 11-1, Bowlsby said the league would inform the 12-member selection committee it has co-champions, in spite of Baylor's 61-58 win over TCU on Oct. 11. The committee has had TCU ranked ahead of Baylor for all five of its rankings this season.
"That's the prerogative of the selection committee," Bowlsby said. "It's not our prerogative for us to tell them who is our best team. They can choose from an array of teams that are available and qualified for the playoff.
"It's not within our prerogative to bind the selection committee that way. They're going to select who they think is the best team. This is an important distinction. Because the committee's charge is not to select the most deserving team. The committee's responsibility is to select the four best teams based upon their objective and subjective criteria. And each one of the committee members may feel different about how exactly that process works. ... They can certainly select from any of ours."
Only if TCU and Baylor are both left out of the top four would the league acknowledge Baylor's head-to-head win over TCU. By contract, displaced conference champions are guaranteed spots in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Vizio Fiesta Bowl and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Bowlsby said the league would then use Baylor's win over TCU to determine which team would play in a New Year's Six bowl.
"The only reason we apply the tiebreaker later on is because we have to, we're the ones who designate who goes into one of those host bowls," Bowlsby said. "In the case of the College Football Playoff, they're the ones who designate who goes into those games."
"We wouldn't be designating our champion," he said. "We would be designating our representative to the host bowl."
I know all that Splitty. I've read that before and I've heard that from the "experts" already. You might not think it...but I actually keep up with college football and I know what I'm talking about most of the time.
You said that the K State/Baylor winner is conference champion. That's not true....it's not. If K-State wins....they are not conference champs. If Baylor wins....they are conference co-champs. (Of course assuming that TCU beats Iowa St.)
And BTW....two quick questions. 1.) How's the concussion looking...Petty going to play? 2.) Why the change of heart? Last week you said that you thought K-State was going to win.
If KState wins, they only have 1 conference loss, same as TCU. So, co-champs (same as if Baylor wins, h2h apparently doesn't matter)
1) Petty is fine, he's going to dominate Saturday night
2) I'm bi-polar. I've seen Baylor choke too many times. My first game as a teenager was at Kyle Field when they were 5-0 in 1991 and lost to Rice.
Hold on....even if KState wins....only the conference schedule counts? Not the overall record? That's ed up if true....Also, who was KState's non-conference loss?
And I can relate to your pain Splitty. I'm a Miss. St fan remember.....we've choked year after year after year.....after year. I can remember losing a big game against Auburn 3-2.
Umm, yeah. Conference record determines conference standings. Just not h2h apparently. KState wins and TCU wins, they are co-champs in the Big12.
And make your predictions Silver&Black
I've got 2 more days....
