Potential final ranking prognostication

I honestly don't know for sure what they will do. My best guess is we will drop behind Notre Dame but stay above Miami. But I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped below them.

This is basically why I think we're in

I agree wholeheartedly, but the playoff committee is not known for rational and logical decision making.
I could totally see them bumping us out because we got 3 losses.
And if we do sneak in i can hear it now how we don't deserve to be there, even though a 9-3 Clemson team made it last year...

I think Duke winning is bad for us. The committee will be pressured to put Miami in so an ACC team is in.

That makes no sense....SMU beat Miami head to head...and Miami is 3rd in their conference...a 7-5 team won this conference...shows it not great...so Miami has nothing except a win vs ND...Miami didn't play Duke OR UVA....if there is any logic...ACC gets ZERO teams

If that is what we see tomorrow, then we can go ahead and say farewell to the SEC conference championship game because all it really did was eliminate one of the teams that had to play another tough game while idle teams sipped lemonade

1. Indiana (Rose)
2. Ohio St (Sugar)
3. Georgia (Orange)
4. Texas Tech (cotton)

5. Oregon vs 12. James Madison
6. Ole Miss vs 11. Tulane
7. Texas A&M vs 10. Notre Dame
8. Oklahoma vs 9. Alabama

I could see a flip of bama and notre dame but expect Georgia to take the 2 spot if that happens.

Conference Championship games shouldn't be judged negatively. It is statistically wrong. You are judging teams based off of different sample sizes.

One way to fix it would be to have every team play their 9th conference game on Conference Championship Weekend. 1 vs 2 in the Championship game, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 6, etc. Then everyone plays the same amount of games. You would probably have to play the games 2 weeks after rivalry weekend to give the event ops people time to sell tickets and get the venues ready.

ESPN has us at 10 and playing A&M...a little better than OU imho. I'm just hoping for us to get some players healthy and just see what happens. This has been at least 3 late season games -- OU, AU, and UGA -- where our offense has been AWOL. I know they are trying, but we need a reboot and get some players back.

Going to a 9 game schedule next year already this is a really bad idea unless the other conferences are forced to do the same AND Notre Dumb is forced to join a real conference. Neither of those is going to happen.

Bottom line - the way to fix this is not allow the committee to rank a team lower than a team that it was already ahead of that didn’t play in a championship game. IOW - you can’t get jumped by a team sitting idle because you lost in your conference championship game

They have us there because the general belief is that the committee wants to create a buffer between Notre Dame and Miami to avoid the argument between the two. I think it’s still likely that neither Bama and BYU moves at all and that would totally avoid the dreaded trilogy fight. But who really knows?

I would prefer Oklahoma but I do think aTm is a fraudster also.

Yeah my thought was that you would have had Oregon vs USC, Ole Miss vs T-A&M, Oklahoma vs Texas, Miami vs Pitt, etc. yesterday as the 12th (or 13th) game in everyone's regular season. Not gonna happen, I know, but solves the problem of the extra game. Except for Notre Dame, as you pointed out.
