No way Boise State beats Alabama or Georgia or Texas. The sim you a running is off. I could see Boise have a chance against Big 12 champion but I think they would struggle against Clemson and Miami and low chance against any of SEC teams make the CFP.

Mizzou will drop out
Opportunity for Ole Miss to get back in with a win at 3-1 SoCar

 

[Vowelguy]

Vandy is pretty good but can you keep Bama in the top 10 after losing to the Commodores?

 

[storrsroars]

Pitt is going to win the ACC.

 

[Vowelguy]

Mich, Mizzou, Tenn out
Ole Miss in and likely LSU and ND

Barring an epic comeback Miami out replaced by Clemson

Bama likely drops to only 6

Clem, TAMU out
Indi and 2-loss Bama in
4 SEC, 4 BiG

The B12 better hope BYU doesn’t lose, or Boise could steal the final bye.

8 Indi @ 7 Tenn // 1 Ore — ROS
12 Bois @ 3 OhSt // 9 BYU — FIE
11 Ala @ 5 Tex // 4 Mia — PCH
10 ND @ 6 PnSt // 2 Ga — SUG

Of course everything changes when we get the CFP rankings on Tuesday.
