OT: CFB Playoff

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Who you guys got?

1: Alabama
2: OSU
3: Clemson
4: Washington

That's my predictions

 

[Minicoop69]

Somehow I hope Penn state will over take Washington in final 4

 

[mauconnfan]

Here's my Deepster FF:

1. A
2. OSU
3. CU
4. UW

I actually was rooting for Penn State and I know the "committee" would love to get another B1G team on there. Knowing the NCAA and the way it works Washington could get screwed.

 

[Robertelamin]

My prediction is an 8 team playoff in 2 years

 

[JSM1970]

Penn State has 2 losses with 1 being against Mich by 39 points. None of the others have 2 losses. The 4 best teams are probably:

1) 'Bama
2) OSU
3) Mich
4) flip a coin with Clemson, USC and OU and maybe Wash

Penn State had a better season than expected but on a neutral field wouldn't beat any of these teams.

Huh? Michigan and OU have two losses. USC has 3.

I think UW is going to get screwed even though it should be a no brainer. Maybe I'm overly attracted to conspiratorial ideas but PSU has one of the biggest fan bases in college football and would attract more viewers.

 

[mauconnfan]

Michigan lost 2 late "playoff games" to Iowa (that's a win for a playoff team) and OSU, they blew it. OUT no shot and not deserved.

I think OU may very well be one of the best 4 now but they already shot themselves in the foot, too inconsistent. USC - hilarious 3 losses?

Penn St has a chance but only because of the affiliation and NCAA greed, should the the other Huskies!

 

[JSM1970]

If anything Michigan would get in over PSU and bump Wash, though doubtful. The committee would love to have Harbaugh, Saban and Meyer in the playoff.

The Michigan alumni base is the largest of any college and it's a much more influential and prestigious group than Penn State.

[JSM1970]

Yes, referring to the top 4

OSU, Bama, Wash Clemson

USC woud kill Penn State right now so would OU

Huh? Michigan and OU have two losses. USC has 3.

 

[JSM1970]

Michigan lost 1 game @ Iowa close when their QB got hurt. Mich beat Penn State by 39, the committee doesn't forget that.

I still think it will be the same 4, but would like to see Mich over either Wash or Clemson

I do think the CFP will be expanded soon to either 6 or 8, if 6 the top 2 seeds get 1st round byes

I'm going to need upstater to fact check that alumni base comment. Can we please edit the thread name to "OT: CFB Playoff and Tom Brady is a Cheater" to get his attention?

 

[JSM1970]

No need found something saying Michigan had until and since passed by several.

PSU may be the largest but not sure if it counts the entire PSU system and all the satellite campuses or just the State College graduates.

How is it that you are wrong on everything?

 

[bobbygt]

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. OSU or PSU
4. Washington

I'm thinking they will put OSU in over PSU. They love Meyer and OSU played a tough schedule. PSU has a good argument as well.

 

[JSM1970]

Oh, you mean the witness who lied about the McKnight shooting that you defend?

Final Poll

Alabama
Clemson
OSU
Washington

 

[JSM1970]

The Clemson vs. OSU is somewhat intriguing, think 'Bama will overwhelm Wash.

Alabama
Clemson
OSU
Washington

Keep your cesspool rantings confined to the cesspool.

 

[Fishy]

Basically, they're taking the best four teams with one loss or less.

Would anyone make Clemson or Washington a favorite over Michigan?

But an interesting wrinkle - two of the scariest things in college football are playing Alabama and playing a Chris Peterson team after he's had a month to prepare.

Clemson Michigan I would have as a pick'em or Clemson favored by like 1. Same goes for Washington Michigan.

Yes, but as we've seen, you're not particularly good at setting odds.

Ha, good point.

PSU is better than you think. They are really playing well. They have shown the wins over OSU and others aren't fluky at all.

Washington has a win over Colorado. That's it. They played Idaho and D2 teams out of conference. Pretty pathetic. And the Pac12 was relatively weak with a down Oregon, UCLA and Arizona.

There is a case for PSU.

The Michigan game was a disaster, but they had walk-on safeties playing LB because of 7 injuries to the linebackers on the 2 deep.
