In if you win
SEC Alabama, UGA
B10 Ohio State, ttun, ttun St
B12 OU
Three of the 4 sports currently controlled by SEC, B12, B10.
Fourth Spot is a toss up between the following
UGA as a 1 loss conference runner up
Cinti Very weak schedule to date but SMU and Houston could give it a boost.
Wake Forest Very good offense with very mediocre defense
Iowa Big 10 Champ The loss to Purdue will hurt them bad
Others in the mix but will need lots of help
P12 Oregon
American SMU
ACC NC State, Pitt
B12 Baylor, Oklahoma St
Indy ND
SEC Ole Miss, Kentucky
Hanging on by a Thread
SDSU
UTSA
Exiting the party
Penn St
Coastal Carolina
NC State
AJ Summary:
Don't see anybody beating Ohio State
UGA and BAMA get to the SEC CCG
Oklahoma has had too many close games with some tough ones ahead. Can't see them running the table.
UC has 2 tough games and if they get passed them the will need some help
With a CFP spot on the line I say BAMA beats UGA
1 BAMA
2tOSU
3 UGA
4 Cinti

If you look at remaining schedules, Notre Dame, Oregon, and Georgia have the easiest slates. The Big XII and Big 10 East are schedule heavy with a lot of losses to hand out, starting with Michigan-Michigan State
Pitt and Iowa have ugly losses...ya, they're technically still alive, but teams like Notre Dame and Oregon will jump them easily

Based on what they have done to date I would agree but Iowa could have a huge upside if they beat a likely top 3 team in the BIG CCG. Pitt is definitely the low man on the totel pole from those teams.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but Clemson's path to the ACC Championship isn't *that* crazy.
- NC State lose 2x (L'ville, @ FSU, @ Wake, Cuse, UNC)
- Wake lose to Clemson + 1 more (Duke, @ UNC, NC St, @ Clem, BC)
- Clemson win out (FSU, @ L'ville, Wake)
Anyway, go Heels.

OSU has a tough schedule. The schedule is definitely tougher down the stretch. The schedule was extremely favorable as they got to fix a lot of things against lesser opponents. With the offense clicking the way it is and the defense clearly getting much better I fully expect to run the table. I would expect Bama to to do the same although not sure about the SEC CCG. What's your take on that one assuming they get there. |

I could see NC State and Wake both dropping the games but Clemson needs to figure some things out. I personally think this may be one of the most important seasons for Dabo. He went from competing for a National title this year to a non factor by the end of September. If he can turn this around and run the table then I think it will do wanders for recruiting and will keep Clemson with the elites. If not then I see them taking a step back in terms of National Championship discussions. |

I think the Wake Forest vs. North Carolina game is actually an OOC matchup they scheduled... |

When you're 130th out of 130 FBS schools in scoring, there's no more kidding yourself about what's what. Even Dabo can't ignore it, or explain it away. |

What's your take on that one assuming they get there. I think improvement is happening but not quite as fast as the Buckeyes. The Tennessee game saw BAMA hold the vols under 65 yards rushing when they have been 250 yards in recent games. Sadly a couple of alignment and communication problems resulted in a couple of cheap scores. I feel confident progress will continue. The SECCG will tell the tale. A win by Alabama will probably mean Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma and the winner of OSU/TTUN. A loss by Alabama may open the door for Cincinnati. The final few games will be so critical. |

This crap is really getting old - Dabo announces RB Kobe pace will not be able to play against FSU Saturday.
For 5-6 years, Clemson has had pretty good player health. NOT this year.
Geez.

What I'm needing is every team to lose at least 3 games, and App State to win out, and make the field. Then of course to win the CFP. 2 reasons, one I am an App State grad and fan, two, while in Vegas I put $5 on ASU to win the CFP at 5000 to 1. $25K would be nice.

Lots of season left:) |
