Just looking for any combo that keeps Cinci in and ND out

If Bama, Mich and OK State win and Cini does not blow out Houston I fully expect the committee to jump OK State over Cinci. You know the committee wants Cinci to get beat

[MeanGreenTexan]

Almost Lifer!!

CUSA: WKU -  Revenge.  The Toppers have likely had this game circled since October 10th.

PAC12: Utah -  Affirmation.  The Utes beat them pretty soundly last time.  And this game is in Vegas.

Big XII: OK St.  -  Spencer Sanders gonna take his Pokes to the playoff!

MAC: Northern Ill.  -  Same circumstances as UTSA/WKU.

MWC: SDSU  -  No one in their league in MWC.

Sun Belt: AppSt.  -  Billy Napier is going to serve as a giant distraction to his own team.  Sad.

SEC: Georgia  -  National Champs.  One of the most dominant teams I've ever seen.

AAC: Cincinnati  -  This is going to be a very close game though.

Big 10: Michigan  -  Going to the playoff!  Iowa struggling through the easy backend of their schedule.

ACC: Wake Forest  - Virtually a home game for WF (at least they can prepare that way).  Pittsburgh would win otherwise.

Georgia will dispatch Alabama and make this a moot point.   2-loss Bama is not getting in.   Poor Saban.

CUSA: WKU
PAC12: Oregon
Big XII: OK St.
MAC: Kent St.
MWC: SDSU
Sun Belt: App State
SEC: Georgia
AAC: Cincinnati
Big 10: Michigan
ACC: Pitt

 

And looking at that original list just points out how BAD the CUSA media deal is. 

[akriesman]

I don't really care about most of those games.  However, I do think WKU will beat UTSA and fairly easily.   Zappe is just really, really good.

I want Cincy to be undefeated.    If they still get screwed out of a playoff spot, there will be hell to pay.

I thought about taking App St. over La-La.  Sticking with my picks.

[TripleGrad]

Based on my demonstrated prediction capability thus far, Georgia should be running scared.

I think the committee would love to find a way to get a 2-loss 'bama in.

I'm not in tune with 'bama as I was previous years, though, so maybe I'm wrong.

[TripleGrad]

CUSA: WKU <- wrong
PAC12: Oregon <- wrong
Big XII: OK St. <- wrong
MAC: Kent St. <- wrong
MWC: SDSU <- wrong
Sun Belt: App State <- wrong
SEC: Georgia <- wrong
AAC: Cincinnati <--Hey, I got one!
Big 10: Michigan
ACC: Pitt

Michigan and Pitt better be scared.

I consider myself a reasonably-informed semi-serious CFB fan, but today wouldn't prove it . . .  🙂

And this is why I don’t place bets.

Love, outside of the SEC, different teams in the championships outside of what we normally get. Baylor, OK St., Iowa, Michigan, Wake Forest, Pitt, and Utah have been fun to watch.

whelp.  there goes that.  I have no idea how the committee feels about a 1 loss Georgia.  Initial signs suggest they are still in, but 'bama is the new #1.

This guy’s an idiot.  I don’t think he’s watched a single down of football in his life!  He got lucky on a few of ‘em.
