Early CF playoff predictions.

[BKHusky]

I don't know whether to congratulate you or vomit that you read the Atlantic...

It was a copy/paste of it, I didn't want to give them traffic. I can't stand Mandel or the Athletic in general.

But, he helped my point, so he's obviously right on this one occasion.

 

[Reasoned]

Stewart Mandel had a writeup yesterday in the Atlantic where he projected all possible outcomes of the games that could affect this weekend. In the 8 scenarios where Bama beats UGA, he has Bama in the playoffs in all 8.

If Bama wins, I think the final four will be

1) Michigan
2) Alabama
3) Oregon
4) Florida State (or Texas, if FSU loses)

The “Atlantic”?….are you hanging with Gator now?

Anyway, that scenario obviously has Oregon winning the rematch with WA (which seems reasonable). But there’s that Texas thing that still needs to be addressed. If they beat OK St (who lost to a South AL powerhouse🙄) convincingly and AL gets past UGA, we’ll agree to disagree about TX but I will concede, the Big 12 isn’t particularly…..big.

FWIW, Texas plays Okie St, not Oklahoma.

I think in your scenario it would come down to Texas/FSU for the 4th spot.

Yeah I caught that after I typed it 😊

 

[GwinnettDawg]

Agree. I'd honestly prefer to see UGA in it in that scenario because we all believe that they're better than FSU or Texas.

Even Ohio State is better than FSU imo but perhaps not better than Texas.

Exactly and that’s what it’s supposed to be. Georgia losing to Bama in the SECCG somehow means they aren’t one of the best 4? Horse shit.

This may come as a shocker but I get the distinct impression the SEC gem has lost some of its luster this year with the selection committee, so two would be a stretch if it means knocking out an undefeated.

I don’t disagree, but without some help I think UGA drops out of the top 4, even though we all know they are a top 4 team.

I’m not sure the committee has put the “best 4 teams” in the playoffs yet.

Well hopefully with the 12 possibilities come next year they’ll manage to get the “best 4” in.

Georgia will go into playoffs ranked # 1 and undefeated

It’s winner fatigue. The head of that committee actually admitted on tv that it would be nice to see a PAC team in there for a change. WTF does that mean? It proves the bias. They arent looking for the best 4. Trying to avoid a UGA-Bama or OSU-UM semifinal because they just played is further proof.

Both Bama and Georgia have been left out due to that.

You shut your mouth. You know Georgia doesn’t stand a chance against Bammer this weekend. No way Kirby beats Saban two times in a row

He's probably right. We'll just have to build that bridge when we get to it.

You're 1 for 2 on this poor me strategy, guess we are both going for best of three here, heh.

Yeah, kinda if the ‘ol Vince Dooley approach. I’ll never forget him during Vandy week one year leading off with what an outstanding punter they had.

It was a good little run he had going

Before @David_Dennison gets here, let’s agree on which injured players caused us to lose the game. Want to make sure we are on the same page and spinning the same narrative

Y’all are trying.....but ya need aw in here to seal the deal with how Bama will mop the turf with the dawgs

I'm not AW. Sooooooo.

Bowers, My Honkey, RaRa, Ratledge, Herschel, Lindsey Scott, Matt Stafford. Anyone else?

They don’t call him kkkirby for nothing.

Washington has now secured their spot in the playoff.

Hopefully tonight lost the Heisman for Nix as well.

 

[BKHusky]

I kinda wanted Oregon to win because it might could've helped Bama, but it sure was nice seeing Nix lose and sit on the sideline with a towel over his head like the little bitch he is.

Yeah, I think his HT is history

He did make an impressive TD reception though

 

[BKHusky]

Welp, Texas was probably going to win pretty easily regardless, but looks like OSU won't even be given a chance at a fair game.

That was a horrible non call on that PI. Also, that rendition of the National Anthem was tragic.

You Bammers better be Cowboy fans for the day.

No idea. But that was awful.

Thought this was interesting (even though WA win was not part of this)
