Bama takes the lead. I don't know if I have ever wanted Alabama to win as much as I do now.

For as much as the committee claims that their job is to name the four best teams, I think it's disingenuous to not acknowledge that part of their job is political. While I think a survey of college football fans as to who's better between a 13-0 FSU and a 12-1 Texas would be overwhelmingly Texas, I still don't think the committee even seriously entertains the thought of leaving a 13-0 ACC Champion out of the playoff. When UCF goes 13-0 and claims some fraudulent National Championship, it's cute. When Florida State does it, it's an asterisk. The original BCS was derived to prevent having undefeated Nebraska and Michigan from both claiming a 1997 National Championship. Then it was expanded to four to prevent the 2003 USC/LSU debacle, and to prevent 2004 Auburn, 2008 Utah, or 2010 TCU from decrying that they didn't get their shot despite being undefeated (even though the latter two were Mountain West at the time). With four teams now, the CFP is just lucky there was never a year where all five conferences had their champion finish 13-0. I don't see how they can open the door to Florida State winning the Fiesta Bowl over Tulane or the Cotton Bowl over Missouri and finishing 14-0... You're right back to 1997 with that, even if the polls don't split.

What an ass. “Don’t look at this year, or at the fact we got embarrassed out of conference, just look at our past success and put us in anyway!” At the same time, he’s standing up for his conference instead of picking sides among his member schools’ quarrels, so good on him I suppose.
-
Texas is probably very thankful to be seeing Okie State instead of a rematch against Oklahoma.
-
21-7 now. I would agree.
-
Texas up early on Okie State. A Texas win likely eliminates Ohio State from playoff contention.
-
Yep. Michigan lost that game more than TCU won it.
-
Michigan never looks back at previous years, only forward to the next challenge. 😉

Meanwhile Matt Hasselback's kid decommitted from MSU

Washington doesn't frighten me. At 13-0 they can't be overlooked, but I think Michigan is a better team.
-
Washington wins. Can't expect to make the playoff when you can't stop a run on 3rd and 9 with a minute left.
-
This game isn't over. PAC-12 schools don't play defense when it matters. Never have.
-
I'm watching without audio and was stunned to see Washington still has the ball. That looked like an obvious fumble to me.
-
I don't see a quality NFL QB in either Penix or Nix. Mileage may vary.
-
Does Penix have no faith at all in his offensive line? It feels like every throw is a five-step drop that he turns into an eight-step drop, throwing off his back foot.
-
Ducks take the lead.
-
Did they source? I found some stuff from 2022 indicating that Alabama chose the Cotton Bowl... Obviously Georgia was going to choose the Peach Bowl last year (if they did indeed get a choice)... I haven't seen anything that indicates otherwise. But nothing that definitively says they choose either.
-
Bo Nix and Michael Penix trading terrible interceptions like the Heisman candidates they are.
-
20-17 now. This should go down to the wire.
-
I expect Michigan to go to the Rose Bowl one way or another. I expect they would choose it as the #1 seed or get assigned it as the #2 seed. Lots of cool matchups there. Even the possible Michigan/Texas match would be a rematch from 2005.
-
Really bad pass interference call sets up Oregon with a 1st and Goal here.
-
The consensus is strong with this message board. LOL.
-
Nah. Not unless we are about to see a blow out and a close game against Iowa at least. Ohio State would be ranked above Oregon, and Michigan would have wins over two top tens in Ohio State and Penn State, plus Iowa. Washington would have wins over one top ten in Oregon (x2), plus Oregon State and Arizona. Mostly a wash, but Michigan has definitely passed the eye test better than UW. UW has played eight games decided by 10 or less. Compared to three for Michigan. I still think Oregon wins this. Their offense can score at any moment.
-
I'm not surprised by Washington jumping out early. There has been too much talk about Oregon walking all over them. They're 12-0 for a reason, they don't suck.
-
I would love this if I was an Indiana fan. They needed someone with a little f you attitude. They'll still probably lose by a combined 90 points to Michigan and Ohio State next year. But I like the spirit.
