Chaos scenario/UCF in the playoff

[fastlax16]

There is potential for things to get very messy for the committee if a few things play out.
-Bama, Miami, Oklahoma, Stanford and Michigan win out.
-Washington beats WSU in the Apple cup.
-OSU beats Wisconsin champ game.
*If Clemson/Georgia/Wisconsin all get blown out in the champ games it would actually position PSU as the 2 loss team with the "best" losses.

It leaves you with Bama/Miami/OK in whatever order at 1/2/3 and 3 loss champions in the pac12/big10.
In the 4 slot you have the following 2 loss teams:
Clemson
Wisconsin
Penn State
OK State
Michigan
Washington
Georgia
or they can pick undefeated UCF. What do they do?

In that case, Clemson because they pass the "eye test".

In your very unlikely scenario I think we have a good chance. Clemson would have a fresh loss to Miami and would have the horrid loss to Syracuse. Everyone knows Wisky is a pretender. We blew out Michigan. I think we go under the circumstances you outline. Michigan would squeal since they would have beaten Ohio State and Wisky late in the year.

I realize it's unlikely that it all happens but taken as individual events nothing that needs to happen is what I would consider "shocking". Probably all more likely to happen than Iowa running OSU off the field last week.

Michigan winning out is probably the longest shot but it's definitely possible they upset Wisconsin and OSU at home.
Washington will be favored over WSU.
Stanford/ND is a tossup but ND winning still leaves them as a 2 loss team with a bad loss.
Stanford beating USC in the pac-12 title game would be a mild upset.
Bama winning out is expected.
Oklahoma winning out is expected.
Miami winning out is expected.

Man losing to msu really sucks looking back on it.

Miami isn't going to win out. They are going to lose to Clemson on a cold Saturday night in Charlotte, NC on 12/2.

I give credit to Miami for what they did to Notre Dame last Saturday night in front of the biggest and most rabid home crowd they've ever had at Hard Rock stadium. In fact, it reminded me of the atmosphere in Beaver Stadium on 10/21. Our team never looked better than they did that night in front of the home crowd, did they? What happened when we went on the road the next two weeks? Did we look like the same team?

That's the scenario that will play out for Miami. The ACC championship game will be in effect, a home game for Clemson. I suspect the boys from South Beach will struggle with the crowd and the temperatures. Good bye Miami and welcome to the final 4 for the third year in a row for the Clemson Tigers.

ND should be ranked a lot lower than what they are, it's one thing to lost by a fg and another to get blown out. They are not top 10.

We'll see where the committee puts them tomorrow. Georgia getting blown out hurts ND as well since they got a lot of credit for that 1 point loss to #1.
