CFP OR BOWL BOUND?
- Thread starter ElectricalCock89

Bowl. We will not get in ahead of blueblood with same record, and they won head to head.
The SEC is likely to get 4 or 5 teams in the playoffs.
If Texas beats UGA in the SEC Championship, it gets a little more interesting.
Texas would Tennessee are both in.
Then you have USC, Bama, UGA, Missouri and Ole Miss all with 3 losses.
UGA probably gets that third spot because they would have only lost two in the regular season.
However, it's still important they lose to Texas as it breaks that 2 loss seal on teams from the SEC.
So beyond those three teams (Texas, UT, UGA), will the committee opt for head-to-head or the hotter team(s) given that all of these have mix and match wins/losses?
Will the committee consider intangibles like us getting screwed in the LSU game and the fact we took BAMA to the ropes in their stadium?
As silly as it sounds, opinions like Finebaum might carry a little weight and he has stated he likes us in this scenario.

Unfortunately, SC was not taken seriously when we started the streak, so we didn’t move up quicker /sooner.
I am not sure with Clempson getting a ACC title shot helps us it hurts us.
We will probably be 13 or 14. Hopefully 12.
I don’t see Arizona State being better than us

Perhaps the voters will take into account how we were royally screwed out of the LSU win.
Bowl, but Interestingly Bleacher Report forecasts Gamecocks vs. Penn State in the Playoffs.
This. Just play the mental game of how you'd feel if we were even in record with Bama, had a higher SOS and a higher ranked top win, and the head to head.
How would you feel if they got in over us?
It's funny because many "Bama fans" I've read online feel like OU loss should have eliminated them from the playoff conversation and aren't happy with their first year coach.
Heather Dinich from ESPN has Miami getting in. Blew a 21 point to lead to Syracuse. Ne real quality wins. What a joke. That would keep a 4th SEC team out. Wonder if they go that route to get out of picking between 3 SEC 3-loss teams.
I remember the mass exodus when Saban retired. Logically, you expect a down year, but i can see where it would be hard to swallow for them.
Ohhh --- I guess I've got to bite since you've been stating this the last few weeks.
Why are you randomly booking hotel rooms in random cities before a location is officially announced?
It's not the Olympics and these host cities have ample rooms for a single football game and holiday crowd.
A little talking head hype for good measure.
If we slip in, it will likely be because they believe LaNorris Sellers is must see TV (and we got robbed in the LSU game.)

I hate for it to come to this as being the way but: if Clemson destroys SMU, I think we're in. That will be the first time I've ever pulled for Clemson.
I ain’t pulling for Clemson, period.
We finished the regular season 6-0, beating 3 nationally-ranked teams including one of them on the road. If there's a team in the nation with a more impressive latter half of the season, I'd like to know so I can tip my proverbial hat to them.
And zero bad L’s. Bama never led while getting beat by vandy, ole miss lost at home to uk.
