CFP Prediction

[LandoComando]

We'll see how wrong I am but

12 Alabama/SMU at 5 Texas (Arizona St)
11 Clemson at 6 Penn State (3 Boise State)
10 Indiana at 7 Notre Dame (2 Georgia)
9 Tennessee at 8 Ohio State (1 Oregon)

Penn State and Notre Dame are interchangeable but we should be 6
3/4/11 can probably all shuffle too
The rest are locks
I'd say Bama is 12 but....

 

[cyrizzle]

Bama is out

 

[LandoComando]

Bama is out

Im not sure why people think that
Palm has them in against us
I just don't think the ACC gets two teams

Palm is wrong. Sean McDounaugh made a nation wide statement. Deal with it hater.

 

[lazydave841]

If Bama is in, I assume it'll be at 11 with Clemson at 12. If out, it will mean Clemson 11, SMU 12.

Dabo. That's who.

Maybe. I think either way they'll move Clemson ahead of Bama then it's where does SMU go...could they be behind Miami?

 

[LandoComando]

Dabo. That's who.

Who cares what Dabo thinks?
We find out in about 11 hours. The committee is debating the two. I expect Bama as do most.

Bama just got eliminated

Bama just got eliminated

We'll see tomorrow. Hope you're right if that makes our path easier

If they move us to 7 then the arguemwnt we should be 8 behind osu because legitimate

tOSU won't be 7 because that would set up a rematch with Indiana. I mean, they wouldn't be above us anyway, but they really won't with that factor.

I agree with all of this except I think SMU will get in with the close loss. Though I wouldn't exactly be shocked if Bama gets in instead.

Wrong. Both ABC college football final protections have them out

You don't hope they are right ass-wipe

PSU drops to 8… behind ND, Tex, and O$U. Takes on Tennessee at noon on 12/21. Book it! Bama gets in on pedigree but must travel to Austin. ND gets Clemson and O$U gets Indiana. Winner out of PSU/Tenn goes to the rose bowl vs. Oregon.

Maybe. I'm actually thinking we might get the Friday night game now.

 

[LandoComando]

They could do ND 5, Texas 6 and Penn State 7...they can say Ohio State wasn't in the grouping. That allow Bama to be at ND with Clemson at Texas and Indiana at Penn State while keeping the Big Ten/SEC matchup and avoiding rematches since some think that's important.
Doing this is punishing all teams that lost yesterday not just SMU

 

[bvillebaron]

There is NO legitimate argument to rank Penn State behind OSU—NONE. Both lost to Oregon in close games but OSU lost to a mediocre Michigan for the FOURTH consecutive time at home when they were a 19.5 point favorite.

 

[LandoComando]

Most projections have ND at 5...which I disagree with...a couple have us at 9 which is hopefully just idiotic.
Bama is the last team in playing ND or Texas in most. We seem to be 6 vs Clemson or 7 vs Indiana in most. Some have us 6 vs Boise but I don't see them falling out of a bye

 

[LandoComando]

tOSU won't be 7 because that would set up a rematch with Indiana. I mean, they wouldn't be above us anyway, but they really won't with that factor.

They could move Indiana to 11 in theory if Clemson goes to 4 and SMU stays ahead of them. Unlikely but it can work if they want it to

Pretty much anything can happen. We know 1 and 2 are set...after that it's all opinion.

 

[pennstatepelly]

No idea what they are going to do but, that ASU team looks dangerous.

 

[PennState_one]

Notre Dame needs to join a conference, and the conference championship games either need to be eliminated or included as part of the playoffs.

It's trash that teams can lose in a conference championship game and tumble down the rankings behind teams that sat with their thumbs up their a**** watching.

 

[dukecorey]

Heather Dinich with ESPN projections are usually spot on because I think she has inside information with the committee. She has Penn State the 5 seed and playing Clemson. Other first round matchups are SMU at Texas, Indiana at ND and Tennessee at Ohio State. Byes are #1 Oregon, #2 Georgia, #3 Boise State and #4 ASU.

Us being ahead of Texas and SMU being ahead of Clemson are interesting

Iowa State was putrid.

Agreed though Skattebo is legit

These are some great regional matchups. Would like to see it play out this way. Just can’t see the committee putting PSU ahead of Texas - the national narrative on PSU seems to be too negative.

So this thing starts at 12. Any thoughts on how long espn and the committee is going to drag this out to get their moneys worth? When should I start watching?

Not past 1:00 for sure. NFL kicks then so they won’t overlap it.

Based on past shows. We'll get it immediately

My work Xmas party is 6pm on the 21st...rooting hard for that noon game

Screw you. We deserve a prime time night game playoff whiteout after the shit we eat with big noon plus the Kole Kneupple experience.

Then Friday night is great lol
Ohio State - Tennessee is going to be Saturday prime time unless Bama gets in

 

[Ian]

PSU really wants Friday night because of graduation.

Ohio St has wins over 2 of the CFP field. Penn St has zero. Is that an illegitimate argument?

And beat PSU… why wouldn’t they be ahead of PSU?

You can argue Texas should fall behind both.

Because of the bad loss to Michigan
You can't just use H2H

Bama is out

Good they should be
