And that's fair. But for the most part it's always been right, especially lately. Maybe Auburn wasn't the best team, but Newton alone deserves to play for the BCSCG.

Name power. I'm a huge Stanford, OU, and SC coming up.

Alabama's could be the weakest of the three at the end of the day.

Michigan-meh
LSU-tanking quick
Auburn-winless in SEC
Mizzou-winless in SEC
Ole Miss-winless for many years in SEC
MSU-decent,
Arkansas-no explaination
A&M-meh
UT-4th by mile in the east
SECCG-best opponent of season

vs.

Arizona
ASU
Stanford
USC (twice)
Oregon State
Washington

Not unthinkable at the end of the day. Of course, OSU had better wins last year as well.


Oregon would be left out, right or wrong.

ND plays ASU?

Jury is still out on who the second best team is. I'll be rooting for ASU when they face SC. I'd rather not play them twice, if Oregon does win the first match.

Thursday night dog bodes well for the devils but at the same time Oregon will be coming off a bye. Oregon wins.

Bama beats the shite out of ND. Golic and ND go away forever.

There is 0 percent chance an undefeated sec champion gets left out. Whether its Bama, UF, or USC.

Alabama vs Notre Dame, and Alabama wins in a beatdown. Oregon would at least give them a bit of a run with the speed on offense.

me neither, I do think they drop at least one but I wouldn't be surprised if they do. They are more than capable of beating Stanford, OU and SC

Oregon is much better than ND. Oregon may be the best team in the country.

It's really hard hypothetical considering ND has deficiencies in their passing game and secondary. That coupled with playing USC and OU and don't see them winning both.

It's a long season...Injuries will make this hypothetical mute one way or another.

Hard to discuss strength of schedule with so many games left... Who knows where MSU, UT, LSU end up.. or for that matter USC, ASU, OSU, etc. for Oregon.

Because they can score quick? I think Notre Dame and Florida are better than Oregon. But Oregon is fun to watch.

Mizzou had some life in them too. The wheels have started to fall off on their season.

Oregon has the defense to stop ND cold. ND is limited and that will cost them 2 games, imo.

Florida - that is probably a pick'm.

And I think ND has best front 7 in nation and can run the ball. Either UO ND Bama UF games would be good ones to watch. But right now and it can change tomorrow I got it...

Alabama, until beaten they're the best
ND as mentioned above, played in road multiple times, and the schedule
UO offense is solid but not proven vs an ++ team IMO
UF want to see them away from home

Alabama obviously has a tough schedule


No they really don't. They have 2 ranked teams on their remaining schedule : LSU who could lose 3 in a row before that game and MSU and then the SEC CG. Their SEC East opponents : Tennessee and Missouri blow. Michigan is meh.

It's doubtful the voters would have ND jump Oregon unless Oregon has some stinker type win over a crap team.
