    Fourth Place Playoff Team

    Prepare as this is a long post, but based on these results which I think are well in the realm of possibility and personally I think this will end up being the results. It?s about to get pretty chaotic. I evaluated the top 13 teams remaining schedules along with Pitt because I think they win out and win the ACC. No one else has a chance barring some craziness As you will see, it is very likely a 2 loss team will make it. This is pretty much with all favorites winning except Auburn beating Bama in Iron Bowl

    UGA wins out, Ohio State wins out, Notre Dame wins out because their last two opponents are bad. . Now we have team 4. Here are the options

    Oregon with 2 losses (Utah and Stanford), Pitt with 2 losses (Western Michigan and Miami) Oklahoma and Oklahoma State with two losses (Ok State wins bedlam then OU wins big 12 champ), Ole Miss with 2 losses (Bama and Auburn), Cincinnati with 1 loss (Houston), Michigan with 2 losses (Ohio State and Mich State). Michigan State with 2 losses (Ohio state and Purdue) So who does the committee pick? I would assume Oregon because of the OSU win but it will be interesting to see. If Oregon loses twice to Utah that will make it more interesting

    Baylor will eliminate themselves Saturday losing to 7-3 KSU in Manhattan.

    Wake will eliminate themselves losing to Clemson Saturday @ Clem and Pitt in ACC championship.

    Bama will eliminate themselves losing iron bowl and to UGA

    Too many assumptions here. There is literally 0% chance all of your assumptions come true. Just let it play out. Are you just working yourself up hoping Ole Miss doesn't sneak in?

    Ole miss sitting at #12 rn has no shot to be top 4 so that's just out. No team that did not play for the conference championship game will make it

    I think you just getting yourself worked up at the possibility ole miss slides in, there is 0% chance that bama loses the iron bowl. 0%

    My final 4 are these

    1. 12-1 bama
    2. 12-1 Ohio state
    3. 12-1 Georgia
    4. 13-0 Cincinatti

    Georgia wins the national title but I think in the sec championship they are about to face the most motivated nick saban and Alabama ever with so many people saying they cant beat georgia.

    I am just going off the schedule and who will most likely be favored and who I think is going to win the games. I only put Ole Miss on there because I included all the 2 loss teams. I don?t think Ole Miss would be picked over a big 10 team with 2 losses, it?s more so for visibility. Everyone else will have 3. The only upset I picked was Auburn. Utah is favored against Oregon and Clemson is favored over Wake. Ok State will be favored at home over Okla and then I doubt they beat them twice in a row. Auburn usually wins the Iron Bowl at home lately as they are 3-1 against them there lately. I think the Baylor/KSU spread is about even but Baylor plays bad on the road.

    I literally thought the same thing. If 1 of those teams doesn't have 2 losses then they are in besides cincy.

    Oklahoma state is the most underrated team in the country, I watched the OK state vs Iowa state game and there was terrible officiating in that.

    I will be honest I don?t know the extent of Nix injury is he done for the year? If so I will pick Bama, but that will still leave a 2 loss Bama team vs a 2 loss Oregon team and a 2 loss Oklahoma team. So the committee is going to have a tough decision

    Oregon won't be an underdog to Utah, but they could definitely lose. Should be a close game.
    Oklahoma St. should be Texas Tech and Oklahoma/Iowa State could go either way, but Oklahoma is the favorite. Either could win the head to head... a lot to play out here.
    Cincinatti will not be an underdog to Houston. Probably a 10 point favorite.
    The teams I didn't mention will all have some toss up games.

    None of your individual predictions too far out there, but the odds of it playing out exactly this are close to 0%. It's a nice hypothetical, but not exactly what is going to happen.

    Nix is done for the year and should have been out of the game much earlier than he was. That dude is a warrior, never question his willingness to go out there and do his best.

    Finley is the QB for the rest of the year, even the bowl game unless they have a 3rd guy. They are still good enough at running the ball and defensively to beat the Gamecocks but have no shot at Bama with Nix.

    Utah is currently a 3 point favorite over Oregon. I think they are favored because it?s at home and they have been playing better than Oregon lately. Oregon has kind of been going through the motions and doing just enough since losing to Stanford

    Do a 10 pick parlay, and let us know how it goes. Lol. My point is there is no way to predict any of this.

    I?m not saying these predictions will be 100 percent right. I am just going off the fact that based on this situation happening which is not far fetched considering I?ve picked almost all favorites except Houston then there is a good chance a 2 loss team makes it. Now that I know Nix is out I revised the Auburn pick but it still leaves Oregon, Bama, Pitt, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State with 2 losses and if these are all 2 loss teams it will make it tough for the committee to pick.

    You're right, my bad. I figured it'd be close, but I didn't expect Oregon to be the dog.

    Correct and their All-American kicker "Carlson" is also out for the year. He was hurt on that onside kick and is done. Kickers, SMH............
