Dolfan in NYC 11,236 Posted November 5, 2018 Well, Alabama kicked the unholy shit out of LSU, so I guess that's a pretty good indication on where this season is going. I wonder if the Nick Saban statue will be made of solid gold or platinum. And will it be the History or Political Science Department that will be eliminated in order to fund it... RANKINGZ~ #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 I will be on a cruise next week, so you nerds get Rankingz from @Pete next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 8,283 Posted November 7, 2018 Boy, more and more it's feeling like ND is about to get blown out by Alabama again in the National Championship. Who am I kidding, ND will slip up along the way. I thought that would be against Pitt or Northwestern, but given the rest of their schedule, they're bound to sleep on Florida State, Syracuse, or USC.

Brian Fowler 11,818 Posted November 7, 2018 The one real nightmare scenario for the committee is Michigan, ND, and Clemson winning out, and Georgia upsetting Bama in a close game. You'd have five teams that would all be pretty damn deserving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 8,283 Posted November 7, 2018 If Georgia upsets Bama that late, I don't think you can include them. If you look at the season like a long tournament as is with the end being a final four, then you shouldn't insert the #1 seed into the final four when they lose at the very end. Just my opinion. It's probably not a good one. I'm biased, but I wouldn't mind seeing ND vs Michigan for the NC. It would be pretty cool that the first year they resume playing each other they wind up playing each other twice, the second time being for the championship.

It would be pretty cool that the first year they resume playing each other they wind up playing each other twice, the second time being for the championship. If Fowler's nightmare scenario comes to pass, either Georgia or Bama gets left out, IMHO. In that scenario, Georgia would have the worst loss - by 20 to a 2+ loss LSU team. Michigan's only loss would be a 7-pt loss in week 1 to an undefeated playoff team which trumps Georgia. That leaves Bama to leave out. So either Bama or Georgia and, under that scenario, I think you gotta leave Bama at home since they'll have just lost to Georgia. You can't take Alabama over the team that beat them, IMHO. I think what actually would happen is that Michigan or Notre Dame gets left out, most likely Michigan due to head-to-head. I like how Craig thinks - I would love to see a rematch of Michigan and Notre Dame. Neither team is close to what they were in week 1 now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVA 3,234 Posted November 8, 2018 ND and Michigan could meet in the semifinals, but there is 0.0% chance at least one of them won’t get stomped out by Bama or Clemson before the title game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Fowler 11,818 Posted November 8, 2018 Somebody wrote an article last week hoping Michigan jumps ND because they are the only team that night be able to beat Clemson and prevent another Bama-Clemson game. Even as a biased Michigan fan, I have my doubts. I think Michigan/Bama would look a lot like LSU/Bama did. Michigan's defense is probably good enough to at least make Bama's offense work, but I'm not sure they'll accomplish much on the other side. Bama getting the Heisman QB really kinda breaks college football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
