Here's a screwball...UGA goes to the SECCG at 11-1 to play a 12-0 Bama. UGA wins. What happens? What if it was the opposite (a 1-loss Bama beats a 12-0 UGA)?
If ND wins out they’re in regardless, waiting to see how sunshine reacts after getting his clock cleaned but don’t think CU gets in this year. Big 12 beats everyone up, OSU probably wins it all undefeated. So SECC ND OSU, that 4th spot is going to be hard to pick for this year. This is going to be the year that there’s the biggest push for an expanded playoff imo.
Should they win out ND is not necessarily guaranteed a final 4 selection. Remember ND will not be playing an extra game to win a conference. Depending on the SOS a perfect13 game conference winner may very well jump the Irish who will only have played 12 games.
Doesn’t Ohio state always get beat by someone that wasn’t expected
I understand that, I was saying I only think the SECC and OSU are the only undefeated champions.
Either scenario Bama is possible to go with loss. UGA loses in either scenario, nope
I can't imagine Tua playing 4 full Q and Bama not winning the NC and the SECCG.
What happens with an undefeated UCF team riding a two-year unbeaten streak? Like last year they will not have beaten a good team, but after the fuss they made about being “national champs” last year, they’ll get more consideration than they have earned this year. History shows that some of the teams that are undefeated now will lose before the year is over, but it seems to me that we will have to win the SECCG to make the playoffs this year.
People said that last year about Hurts.
I remember in '12, we had a lot of freshman talent. Gurley, Marshall, Theus, Jenkins, Floyd, and many more. We got crushed and embarrassed by Spurrier in WB, but by the end of that season we had grown into a completely different team. Gurley came out against Bama and their vaunted D couldn't stop him. He gashed the Bama D for well over 100. It remains to be seen what we have here in this group. I think I've seen almost the whole class out there a bunch, but I've seen Cook, Fields, Mays, Cox, and Campbell getting played in the 1st quarter. I think Kirby is doing great work turning freshmen into sophomores by the end of the year. There is a lot of football to be played, and I think the Dawgs are a work in progress. I'm not ready to concede anything. Every team I mentioned, except Alabama, has come incredibly close to getting upset, so I think they are all beatable, and I think we can be competitive with Bama, too. We have to keep getting better, much like last year.
Tua is legit not saying he isn’t but so is Haskins and he wasn’t terrific after getting pressured a little bit against PSU. Let’s let Tua get tested a little but even still there’s a reason we play the games.
They say it now for completely different reasons and I shouldn't have to point them out.
I remember differently. I recall people saying he couldn't pass.
He had some weaknesses as a passer, but he was virtually unstoppable as a DT QB for two seasons. Once we took away his running chances in the NC he was toast. Tua's game is based on passing, not running. He hasn't faced a pass defense like ours. Our DBs are much improved over last years. Could make things interesting. Bama is not invincible.
