If I was an Oregon fan, I'd be pulling hard for a UGA win just to be safe.
Oregon isn't going to be the first one out in that Scenario.
Michigan
Oregon/Washington winner
Texas
Bama
FSU gets left at home because they lost their QB. The committee has already said they do consider player injuries. No one wants to see a backup QB against UGA or Michigan.

I noticed how you ignored the question.
I hate Bama as much anybody, but I'm not going to pretend that a Bama team (who would just be coming off of a win against UGA) would be a decent sized favorite over Texas.

But why? Texas has not looked impressive against Oklahoma, Houston, Kansas St, TCU or Iowa St. You can't ignore these, and at the same time use FSU not looking impressive this coming week.

Bama - win and FSU & Texas loss
Bama only needs one to lose not both
Bama beating UGA (will be tough) means Texas (assuming they win too) would be in automatically I think. If FSU loses Bama for sure is in

Sure, but at what point do the games actually matter? If Bama had 2 losses early in the season, and then went on a tear, they'd probably still be favorites vs them. Does that mean they should get in with 2 losses?

No, but it's a moot point because Bama doesn't have two losses. And if they pick up that second loss Saturday then they are 100% out of the discussion.

If an undefeated FSU doesn't get in that's the end of the ACC. I'm not sure the committee is willing to drive a stake into the heart of a major conference like that.

Bama hasn't looked impressive against almost everyone, but you seem cool with ignoring those.

That's actually a fair point. I ultimately don't think it matters, bc UGA beats them anyway. BUT I think beating UGA would put Bama over the top if it happened. Just my opinion. You can make arguments either way. It's a nightmare scenario for the committee.
And also in this instance, I wasn't making the argument for Bama/Texas. I was making it between undefeated FSU and Texas.

If you believe that conferences sometimes put their fingers on the scale by way of officiating, I'd think the SEC would very much want to ensure that Georgia beats Alabama.

For sure, and I hope we get maximum chaos.

That's fine, I was just pointing out that it's inconsistent.

They have no chance
Even with utter chaos, there are other teams that would be 1-loss non-champions just like them.

Both Bama and Texas have had 4 wins each against unranked teams that they won by 14 or less points. But Texas should be ahead because of the H2H. It really shouldn’t much of a debate honestly

Ohio St is in over 1 loss FSU, 1 loss Washington, 2 loss Texas, and most likely 1 loss Georgia.

We already have two conferences essentially dying this offseason, let's make it 3

They are definitely in over a 1 loss FSU and a 2 loss Texas. I think a 1 loss Washington and a 1 loss Georgia are in over Ohio State.

I understand an argument for Washington. Not UGA though. UGA winning two in a row should factor in zero. Compare their wins versus OSU and Washington.

I just don't think that Ohio State should be rewarded for not playing in their conference championship game. If you bump them over Georgia, you're essentially doing that.

That takes us back to 4 most deserving versus the 4 best teams.
The 4 most deserving will be more objective.
The 4 best teams will be way more subjective, but probably give us the best games.
The truth lies somewhere in the middle i believe.
