Nutriaitch Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Ok, so going into the final weekend, here is your teams with even a snowballs chance of getting in: 1. Alabama 2. Notre Dame 3. Clemson 4. Ohio State 5. Texas A&M 6. Iowa State teams that need a ridiculous miracle, but aren't quite eliminated just yet: 7. Florida 9. Cincinnati 10. Oklahoma teams that are straight up getting firetrucked and no amount of chaos gets them in despite deserving to be in one of the above categories: 12. Coastal Carolina 13. Southern Cal 14. Northwestern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Starting from bottom: Northwestern is 6-1 and in the Big Ten title game. They are there without needing a rules change to make them eligible. With a win, they will have more wins, higher winning % and head to head against tOSU, plus a conference title. But there is NO WAY they jumping 10 spots. Just not happening. USCw. Sitting at 5-0 (same as tOSU) and in their conference championship game. they haven't played anyone worth a damn though and part of that is their conference not doing the right thing and finding a way for them to play Colorado last week. But again, too far behind pack to have a shot. Coastal Carolina. Biggest screw job in country this season. 11-0. wins against 2 teams in current top 20. That's more than Clemson and tOSU combined if you're counting at home. And they don't get to play for their conference CG (and a 3rd win against top 20) due to Covid. So they have to share a title with a team that is not undefeated, because THEY ALREADY BEAT THEM. No, they don't belong in playoff discussion, but god damn, they deserve to be in a higher category than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 next grouping Oklahoma: do not need as big of a miracle as the rest, but they need help. 2 losses but can win the conference. History is not on their side though. OU needs: a Clemson loss, an A&M loss, probably a tOSU loss, and they themselves need to win convincingly. Cincinnati: I don't see any way they get in unless some really crazy shyte goes down. Clemson, tOSU, A&M, Florida all need to get blown completely off the field. Oklahoma would also need to win but do so very sloppily. Even if all of this happens they probably get no higher than 5. Florida: Have to kick the living dogshit out of Alabama. We're talking 3-4 touchdown victor here. they may still need A&M and Clemson to both lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutriaitch Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 top tier and (obviously easiest paths). Iowa State. beat Oklahoma. preferably by 2 scores. A&M and either Clemson or tOSU needs a loss. the A&M loss may not be necessary for them, but it would absolutely help. Texas A&M: probably best chance of those currently sitting outside the top 4. Need either a Clemson loss, or Notre Dame losing in a blowout. Either of the above could get them in without any other domino falling. But for them to breather easier, they absolutely need Alabama to win, and an ugly OU win in the Big XII game, and a tOSU loss (Big Ten CG game may not matter to them though).

Nutriaitch Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 sitting in Captain's chair. Alabama: simple. don't not get blown the fornicate out. Literally any other end result and you're in. period. Notre Dame: win and you're in. probably still in with a close loss, but no guarantees. Committee will say your regular season win vs Clemson was due to Sunshine being out, so you can't chance it. Clemson: in with a win. out with a loss. that simple. score is not relevant. tOSU: this one is interesting. on the surface, a win gets them in. but....not so fast. what if it's ugly? what if a controversial call helps them down stretch? does the committee then penalize them for the lack of games? hell if i know, but the media is already starting to beat that drum a little and planting that doubt. so i think they have to win handily. like 14-17 points or so, maybe even a little bit more. the one thing in their favor is Alabama has already absolutely spanked Aggy, so committee may not give them that rematch in round 1. A Clemson loss (or a ND blowout loss) would be a HUGE favor to the Buckeyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I just dont think tOSU deserves to be in due to lack of games. But I also hope Clemson loses - Fabio needs to lose. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL while i understand that thought process, i also don’t think A&M (as an example) should get in because a school in a completely different region had 3 games cancelled and not rescheduled either.

Hatchertiger Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 OSU could be without 22 players due to Covid-19.

houtiger Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Aggies easily handled the Vols, I don't see how A&M does not make it to the playoff. They have one loss, to #1 InbredGumps. They played 10 SEC games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama Clemson tOSU Notre Dame is my prediction and the “10 SEC games” doesn’t carry the weight it once did. ND has wins against 2 teams in top 15. A&M has one.

Aggy has a win against Florida and really nothing else to brag about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
