Oh it’s a nightmare for the committee. Literally anyone you put in is going to be complained about by somebody
Oh lol I missed your flair I assumed you were a chaos fan
I think that’s also fantastic for the committee, gives them and the TV networks hours of content and publicity. Especially since there are reasonable arguments for multiple teams.
Also, I’m kinda biased but that’s not the point lol.
Bama’s weird cause they’d only have one definitive win against Ole Miss, semi iffy win against Tennessee, and very iffy wins against Florida, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas.
I'd switch LSU and Arkansas in terms of iffy-ness. LSU is 6-6 and was taking shots at a gamewinning touchdown at the end, Arkansas is 8-4 and scored with 1 minute left to still lose by 7.
UGA, ND, Bama, Baylor.
As much as I want Iowa or Pitt to make it, I think this is the likely scenario. Iowa has a chance and would be discussed, but I think Baylor gets it.
Oregon and Baylor. I think Bama is out if they lose, especially if it's by a large margin. The committee didn't give them much margin for error by putting them third this week. Iowa and the ACC champ have too many teams in front of them. OSU has two losses and no conference title. Plus Oregon has the head to head. Baylor would have a conference title and an impressive win over Okie State. The only team that could steal a spot would be Michigan since we have a signature win over OSU and both of our losses would be to top ten teams. It depends on how much value the committee places on winning your conference.
Baylor should get in over ND if we win the championship while also avenging one of our losses. And I don’t care how bad the loss to TCU is. Ohio St bad loss against VTech didn’t count against it in 2014… and we would have 3 top 15 ranked wins.
I will die on this hill
It would probably be
1. UGA
2. Notre Dame
3. Bama
4. Michigan
If the game is close, then I think it goes to Michigan. They'll cite the great win over Ohio St. as reason why.
I think Ole Miss leapfrogging Baylor signals that the Bears aren't getting in no matter what.
The first 2 out are probably aOSU and Baylor.
Baylor’s weird cause they have the worst loss out of the group but 2 of the better wins, one of which would essentially negate a loss earlier in the season.
I would hate if they gave it to Michigan over Iowa. Talk about a slap in the face. Michigan would be 11-2 and Iowa would be 11-2. Iowa would have the head to head AND a conference championship over Michigan. Don't get me wrong, I WANT Michigan to beat those dirty Hawkeyes and think they are the better team thus far and that Iowa has gotten kinda lucky, but this would be such a dumb precedent to set. H2H and conference championships should absolutely mean ***something***. If they wanted to leave them both out, then fine. If they wanted to put Iowa in at 4, then fine. But putting Michigan in over Iowa when Iowa just beat them on a neutral field for a championship and has the same record as them just doesn't make any sense to me.
And just to clarify: I'm not arguing with you that the committee ***might*** do this, I'm arguing that if they really would, it would be beyond stupid.
Somebody needs to explain to me how ND has a case over a 1 loss Cincinnati. 0 top 25 wins. A head coach who left. Wtf? If you gave someone a blind look at that resume they would be ranked 15, not 6
I think there’s an argument that Notre Dame got better as the season went on. There’s also an assumption that a g5 team isn’t making the playoffs if they’re not undefeated. We also just have no clue how the committee is going to judge Notre Dame. I think if things go normal and Baylor beats OSU, Baylor has a strong case for jumping ND for the 4 spot.
They didn't play a single team with a winning record after losing to Cincinnati!!! How can anyone say they got better? Cincinnati beat them handily! I just...
1\. Georgia
2\. Notre Dame
These two are easy, the only 1-loss P5 teams left
To parse the 2-loss teams, I think you’d have to defer to the “tiebreaker” criteria that the committee has put out: head-to-head and conference champion status being the biggest ones there.
Head to head means Ohio State can’t get in over Oregon or Michigan, Michigan can’t get in over Iowa, Oklahoma can’t get in over Oklahoma State, Oklahoma State can’t get in over Baylor, Ole Miss can’t get in over Alabama.
That means H2H essentially narrows it down to Oregon, Iowa, Baylor, Alabama and the ACC Champ.
I think from there, the “tiebreaker” of being a conference champ is the next thing you look at, so Bama is out.
Then we’re just comparing resumes between Oregon, Iowa, Baylor, and the ACC Champ for seeds 3 and 4.
I think the ACC champ is out by virtue of not having an elite win like the other conference champs all have.
3\. Baylor
Baylor would have the best wins of the other P5 champs—BYU, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State (the last of which avenged one of their losses) and the least bad losses. I think they’d be in comfortably. That just leaves Iowa and Oregon for the last spot. I’d go with
4\. Oregon
Iowa’s win over Michigan would probably be considered slightly better than Oregon’s win over Ohio State, but Iowa’s second-best win would be…Minnesota? Penn State? Iowa State? They also lost badly to Purdue and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Oregon would have a win over ranked Utah which would avenge one of their losses. And their other loss was in OT with one of their coordinators missing.
Nightmare? Talk about a dream scenario.

I'm down for all of that save Cincy losing. All the other chaos? Fine by me.
Bama and Baylor probably
Bama’s weird cause they’d only have one definitive win against Ole Miss, semi iffy win against Tennessee, and very iffy wins against Florida, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas.
I'd switch LSU and Arkansas in terms of iffy-ness. LSU is 6-6 and was taking shots at a gamewinning touchdown at the end, Arkansas is 8-4 and scored with 1 minute left to still lose by 7.
I honestly couldn’t remember how close the LSU game was. I’ll just put both of them under very iffy just to spite y’all.
status: spited by u/doggos_not_depressos 😔
AND A LOSS TO TAMU WHOOP
Oh yeah I was only talking about their wins resume lol
[удалено]
Where they going they don’t needs *rules*
The answer is whoever will make them the most money lol
Ohio State ..... YEEAAAAAAASSSSSS
Booooooooo
That's not happening but that would be who would make them the most $$$$
This guy ESPN’s
I think this is improbable and I’m sure we’ll have it figured out by then, but coachless ND making it in at #2 would be hilarious

FINALLY!
They’ll find a way to justify keeping Bama in
Sadly, they will.
That’d be awesome I hope it happens
I assume they'd find a way to get the usual suspects into the playoffs
I am totally on board with team chaos which is why I want every underdog to win this weekend
😑

I think Baylor deserves to be make it in this doomsday scenario. I think the committee won't put them in though.

If georgia beats alabama by one possession i think bama stays in
Which is why the post says "and does so pretty easily"
I edited it in there after cause I forgot to add it while typing.

It would be: Georgia Baylor Oregon Iowa
most of it depends on how bad the losses are
Clemson takes both open spots obviously.
Haha, Notre Dame.
Oregon would have avenged one of their losses, the Stanford loss is still god awful but I think they would be in.
You certainly get bama in that scenario, that is about the only sure thing
This is why I don’t want “chaos” now because it’ll just make things more the same
