Playoff Prediction

Can we at least wait until LSU beats Alabama in Tuscaloosa before we start getting carried away.

What the hell is it with this board and the word dominant. It's dominant. Not dominate. It's ONLY this board I see it on.

You making fun of our Louisiana edumacation boi?

Face it, Daniels is a year early for the 12 team playoff.

#3 seed Georgia 1 loss to LSU in SEC championship game (no possible way they are leaving out the team that won the last two national championships with only one loss to a red hot / possible heisman trophy winning team. They are seeded third to avoid the Ohio State rematch and to avoid LSU and Florida state rematch in the semi finals.

Not so sure considering the SEC fatigue we seem to be seeing.

From the ESPN CFP predictor

My brother, don't do this to yourself

year in and year out, we should have only one goal: make it to atlanta.

most of the time, the seccg is more competitive than natty

Put the pipe down.

There’s almost ZERO chance 2 sec teams get in. And there’s no a way a 2 loss SEC team is getting in over a 1 loss pac12 or big10 team.

A 2 loss LSU team isn’t getting in without complete anarchy. The sec is having a down year, that paired with the sec fatigue, it just ain’t gonna happen.

What needed to happen was to not lose to Ole Miss.

The BCS didn't give a damn about 2 losses which is how LSU got in. Last year many people would have put LSU in with 2 losses because of how other teams fared. People used to love thinking up the scenarios for how LSU gets in the big game, now all they do is complain. We are not out of it with only 2 losses. If people don't like the scenarios, don't enter the thread. Simple as that.

Now with that out the way, let me take a crack at this.

I actually think LSU would have a better case for the playoff than UGA. Sure UGA will have played and beat Ole Miss and Mizzu who are both likely 9 or 10 win teams, but that's it. Their schedule will consist of 3 top 15-17 teams in LSU, Mizz, Ole Miss, but LSU will likely have the #2 FSU, #5 UGA, #10-12 Bama, and #15/#16 Mizzu/Ole Miss. LSU would likely have the heisman trophy winner QB. LSU would be the SEC champ.

PAC 12- no dominate team, a lot of games left for several to have two losses. Was losses to USC, Oregon beats Utah . USC beats Oregon. All would have 2 losses. Utah beats Washington 2 losses now for them. Washington beasts Oregon state gives Oregon state two losses.

---

I expect Washington to get upset by USC. USC is a wounded animal, and could upset Washington at home. Washington has a final four gauntlet with landmines all over. They lose 2 of those IMO.

Fingers crossed on Oregon St giving Oregon a goodbye loss. Don't know if they are keeping the rivalry yearly. Oregon also has to play Utah this week and have their own landmines

Utah has @ Washington and Arizona. They also play ASU, Colorado, and Oregon.

The whole Pac is going to defeat itself. That's what many are guessing.

Big 12- Oklahoma would have to go undefeated to get in. where would the loss come from on the remaining schedule: need a bad loss here either from OSU or TCU which not impossible. Or a loss in the Big 12 championship game.

---

Fingers crossed on Okie St beating Oklahoma and then losing to Texas in the Big 12 championship game. I feel like Texas is going to get upset. Whether by Iowa St on the road to end the regular season, or by Kansas St at home. We need them to lose and then beat Oklahoma in a rematch.



Final Thoughts

I'm not worried about the Pac, they'll cannibalize themselves. Michigan losing to Ohio St and not winning the championship puts them out even with one loss. Their schedule is horrendously weak and one ranked win vs Penn St might be it. FSU is in even with a loss. Texas, Oklahoma, and UGA are our real problems. I think Texas does get upset, but I'm not sure about Oklahoma. Even though I think they shouldn't, UGA will likely get in over us just because we have one more loss. If it comes down to UGA and LSU for the final spot, it is what it is. We did our best to turn it around.
