There goes Miami's chance at a National Championship. Even if they do beat Clemson, they're still not getting in.

It is Black Friday at The U.

What a game between Central Florida and South Florida. Big yards and big plays, and with both an undefeated streak, and a spot in the AAC Championship game on the line.

I wonder who gets in if OU and OSU loss? hypothetically let's say Miami beats Clemson, Wisconsin losses to Penn State, Auburn beats Alabama then losses to Georgia in a rematch? then what would the playoff be?

Well, Georgia and Miami would likely be back in the final four.  As for the other two, I have no idea.

As a Gator fan, I think Chip Kelly would be the right guy for the job so I hope they get him.

If Auburn beats Alabama, they're getting into the playoffs. The winner of that game is in.

Nah. If Auburn wins, but Georgia wins the SEC Championship game, a three-loss Auburn isn’t going to the CFP.

However, Miami’s embarrassing defeat only helps Bama still get in, even without winning their conference. If Wisconsin or Clemson lose their conference game, Alabama is a lock.

Yeah, I forgot Auburn has to play Clemson. I would watch out for Auburn, though. Clemson could be their 3rd 1 seed they defeat.

I'm assuming the top 4 (8) will be:

1- Clemson
2- Oklahoma
3- Wisconsin
4- Auburn

5- Alabama
6- Georgia

7- Ohio State
8- Miami/Penn State??

That's my guess. What do you guys predict?

Auburn has to play Georgia, not Clemson. Different conferences.

I think that’s right from a rankings standpoint, though I think Miami will take the eighth spot.

At this point, I feel like it is going to be

ACC Champ
SEC Champ
Oklahoma if they beat TCU
Wisconsin if they beat Ohio State

If Oklahoma or Wisconsin lose on Saturday, then I'm interested in what happens.

Ohio State could be a 2 loss Big Ten champion, fresh off of a Top 5 win.
TCU could be a 2 loss Big 12 champion, fresh off of a Top 5 win.
Alabama didn't win their division, but they still only lost one game, and that was to a strong Auburn team.

I guarantee if OSU or Miami win, Bama is going in.

Ohio State, sure. But Miami, I don't know. If Miami wins, and OSU loses, I'd have...

Wisconsin
Miami
SEC Winner
Oklahoma (barring something dramatic)

All Alabama needs, IMO, is Wisconsin, Miami or Auburn to lose and they're in.

If Clemson, Auburn and Oklahoma win, they're in. That only leaves one spot open and if Wisconsin wins, they're taking it.

All I know is a lot of people are hoping for Oklahoma to lose this game to TCU right now. The committee is pulling for Ohio State to win.

Right now, Alabama is in if any top 4 team loses. Which is crazy, because if Georgia beats Auburn, they deserve it. If Miami beats Clemson, they deserve it. At the same time, Alabama deserves it too.

They need to stretch this shit out to 8 teams.

Alabama isn’t leap frog in the SEC champion. That’s world disagree with you.

The AAC Championship game has become IMO, the most entertaining conference championship game, that I've ever seen. And it's still not over yet.

Central Florida and Memphis are tied at 48, and are about to head to overtime.

Well Oklahoma is about to clinch their playoff berth.

Now to see what Clemson, Auburn and Wisconsin can do.

Classic, classic game. UCF pulls off the undefeated season, beating Memphis 62-55 in double OT.

From 0-12, to 12-0 in three years. That's amazing.

IMO, what happens between Ohio State and Wisconsin, will be the game that decides whether Alabama gets in or not.

I truly believe that if Miami wins, they'll get in. Since they are the one win team that's a conference champion, and Alabama is not.

NMSu beat South Alabama and going to the Bowl game for the first time since 1960 never though I see it in my life time :lol:

Ugh, I sense a big rout. This Miami team doesn't look like the team of two weeks ago. In fact, it looks more like the team Al Golden inherited.

Good to see the Badgers had a team meeting and decided not to tackle before today's game.

On the brightsidr... Hornibrook is still TERRIBLE.

I hope that turnover chain doesn't come back next year. I think it made Miami try too hard, and fail these last couple weeks. So many mistakes were made.

If Miami wants to be taken seriously, they need to get rid of gimmicks, and start taking it seriously.

This OSU/Wisconsin game is exciting right now.

Yeah heaven forbid college kids have fun playing this game for free.

Ugh. Fucking Hornibrook fell apart that last drive. Awful pass after awful pass.

So, this is how I see the committee putting this together.

1- Clemson
2- Oklahoma
3- Alabama
4- Georgia

They're going to protect a rematch between Alabama and Clemson for the Championship game.

Although, I think it should be:

1- Clemson
2- Oklahoma
3- Georgia
4- Alabama

Clemson's in, Georgia's in, Oklahoma's in. But who do you put in at #4? Not Wisconsin, and not Miami. So who? Alabama? Ohio State? Who?

Clemson
Georgia
OU
Bama

That’s the order tomorrow.

Still sort of a tough call. Do you go with a one-loss team that didn't win a conference championship? Or a two-loss team that did win?

To me, I'd say that if you're a Power Five conference champion, then you should be in it.  So I'd lean towards Ohio State.
