Is Bama's computer score going to be that bad?
It takes a hit with FCS Opponent Ga Southern this weekend and with each Penn St loss.

Herbie wants Oregon in the title game so bad cause he picked them to win it all preseason. He knows they dont get in without LSU losing and they still may not even with LSU losing.

This is premature (but only a little).

Two weeks left in the regular season. I think its perfect timing.

2. Personally, I think if OU beats OSU they are in over Oregon and Bama
Matt - this should probably be your trigger point - if the Sooners beat OSU - then maybe start a tread about the opponent - go through all of the scenarios then.
I see only Oklahoma, OSU and Bama as possibilities, but if all three end up with 1 loss, and being relatively close, can't the outcome hinge on about a dozen games, or even more?
I haven't looked at how close the numbers actually are and it's academic until OSU loses. You're a better source to speculate among the 3 1-losses - if you say Oklahoma with 1-loss is over Bama, Oregon and Okie State, all with 1-loss - that confirms my gut check.
On a related note - the computers love the Vanishing-12 this year - how does the switcheroo (No Big-12 CG, First Ever Pac-12 CG) affect Oregon's chances to nudge into the #2 spot?

Oregon probably gets in over Bama as well. Likely opponents provided LSU wins out:
1. bedlam winner
2. 1 loss Oregon
3. 1 loss Bama

I would have said this was a big disadvantage to the Big12, but the Big12 performed so well OOC that the computers love them. They have the 4th toughest SOS right now and that will be even stronger after the OSU game. The Pac12 CG won't help Oregon a whole lot, since they will be playing a 7-5 ASU team or something.
I definitely think OU has the best chance of all the 1-loss teams.

Matt, I have been thinking all along that Penn St going on a slide here at the end of the year was a good thing for LSU (since it will hurt 'bama's computer ranking). But actually, if we assume an LSU loss to Arkansas I'm thinking we actually want Alabama to have a high computer score to keep them above Arkansas in the 3ay tie breaker.
Am I right in thinking we want Alabama to have a high computer ranking if we lose to Arkansas, but a low computer score if we lose to UGA?

Seems like excellent analysis.

Yeah, probably. But it looks like Arky is gonna be last in the computers no matter what. I am a bit surprised because that SC win is a better East win than anything Bama has. If SC beats Clemson and A&M wins out, I suppose Arky could creep up in the computers.

Probably, but I don't see a scenario where 11-1 Bama goes over 12-1 LSU that lost to UGA. Oregon would likely be the biggest concern (or maybe a 1-loss ACC champ?)

A loss in the SECCG and we are out IMO. Big 12 champ vs PAC 12, or ACC. Voters for the most part, want to see the conference champ. Clemson/VT winner will get a bump and get consideration...

I don't want to belittle anyone's opinion but it is the "gut feeling opinions" without basis that bother me. You might be right, but you don't think 20% of voters put LSU over Oregon by virtue over their 2 TD win? Cause that's all LSU needs (or less).

Great info, greatly appreciate it. Is our lead in the computers really that strong though? I didn't realize that we had gotten such an overwhelming edge in them to be able to almost not need the human voters.
