re: CFB Playoff Scenario

quote:

---

If Clemson were to lose, it would come down to Stanford and UNC. I think Stanford would get the nod. Neither of Stanford's losses are as bad as losing to South Carolina.
I think the same would hold if Bama were to lose. If they both lost I think it would be Stanford and UNC. OSU not winning the division kills it for them against conference champs.

I don't know. It's certainly possible, but I think they have to look hard at Stanford and UNC. Personally, I think winning a conference championship game should be a requirement to play for a national championship, but I also thought that was the case in 2011. I don't know if that will hold this season if there is some chaos next weekend.

I could very easily see the committee taking the four best teams, and I don't think that's even a debate right now. Clemson is the only chance the ACC has, and Stanford will be hard to sell with two losses. I think Bama and Clemson take care of business and eliminate any controversy next weekend.
