We don't care what Twitter thinks. Besides OU will ##### the bed again against TCU. They always manage to screw up.

I agree. TCU has somewhat of a pulse on defense and as a result they will beat Oklahoma. I just don't see how any viewer or CFP committee member could watch that OU/OSU game and not be disgusted that either of these teams were ranked in the top 15. Watching it reminded me of the Saturday morning games me and my brother would have against our neighbor friends (two brothers also). There was very little defense in our backyard brawls on Saturday morning. Final Scores of 105-86 or things like that were common and, yes, this was backyard football and not basketball! LOL! That reminded me of the Sooners and Cowboys last week.
Even if Oklahoma gets in the playoff, they will get hammered by whoever they play because they have the worst defense this year they have had since the playoff era began.

yep TCU has a defense so it will be interesting how Oklahoma does against them in the first half. But TCU's offense didn't have a single score against Iowa State, correct? Not sure they can hang with Oklahoma late in the game unless TCU can chew some clock and keep their D fresh.

I think that you're right!!! Teams that have conference championship games and win their conference, that could give them a 12-1 season if they only have 1 loss. That should put teams without a conference championship game on the outside looking in if they have a loss. Take ND, they are sitting at #3 with 1-1 record against ranked teams bc we kicked NCST out of the AP top 25 rankings. Yes they did beat a two loss, 8-2 ranked USC team. They loss to UGA, and that gives ND a 1-1 record against ranked teams. Do ND belong at #3, IMO, I say no!!!

Hahahaha! Play someone. Our only loss, while hard to witness, came from a team playing out of their a$$, against an offense that was beat up. Take our wins against teams with winning records who are obviously trying to play spoiler against the defending champions and why shouldn't we be where we are. Your big 10 is garbage your big 12 is garbage your Pac whatever has been overrated since I was born 30+ years ago, why do people think these things.. Grow up!

I got 55 reasons OU should not be ranked above Clemson.
You cannot compete for a Natty with a D like that.
Not like Iowa St is the next coming of Bama while we are talking about bad losses.

Fact, beating OU is why Iowa State got ranked... They were also an unranked team when they played.

But they better hear this . . .

Not to mention that the committee takes into account that Clemson did not have its starting QB.
Imagine what would happen to OU without Mayfield against pretty much anyone. It definitely is a factor.

Why even go to the "without Mayfield" scenario....2015 playoffs, they let in OU over TCU, after they lost to a 5-7 Texas WITH Mayfield.

Mayfield has been playing since before Winston was playing for the Criminoles. How long can you play college ball? There is a limit (at least I thought there was).

The committee picks the best 4 teams not always the teams with the best wins and certainly not ones with the best lose. If OU and Clemson win out they will both be in anyways. If UGA and Bama play with no Ls and ND keeps winning the SEC will only have one team.

OU has no defense - how do some people think that they deserve to be ranked above Clemson? Someone is dreaming...

If UGA and Bama both somehow make it to the SECCG undefeated, and Bama wins a close game, I think ND gets left out and UGA is in. Of course, this is contingent on at least one of OU, TCU, Washington, or Wisconsin also having only one loss or less, and a conference championship.
UGA has the head to head win over ND at ND. Neither would have a conference championship, although UGA would have played an extra game.
As much as I don't want to see 2 SEC teams in the playoff, I would have no problem with ND getting left out. I think it would make them seriously consider joining the ACC as a full football member

Yep you got it. The table is set for SEC to have 2 teams in the CFP. Would be nice if Auburn can knock off Bama or UGA (or both) to keep that from happening.

Most of those nay-Sayers are stuck in the BCS era.

It's not about bad losses, it's about good wins. Cleansing has beaten several ranked teams on the road. Miami has one home win against a ranked team. It can all be shuffled next week when they play ND and certainly if we play them in the ACCCG.
Oklahoma has a good resume...they could argue for the four spot, but it's not an obvious choice.

If Miami beats ND and wins the ACCCG, they're in. Either Georgia or Alabama will lose. Alabama's schedule is heavily backloaded and I would be surprised if they ran the gauntlet. Oklahoma and Wisconsin still have a lot of football to play.
Nightmare for committee would be Unbeaten Wisconsin, Unbeaten UGA, a ND and Alabama who only lost to UGA, and one loss Clemson and Oklahoma. But this is unlikely.
For next week: Go Tigers and Go Canes.

Not true, we gave up 51 to FSU in 2013, but since then? I think the most we have given up is 41 to NCState then 40 to Alabama in 15 and 16 was 36 to Louisville.
So far this year our most given up is 31 to NCstate.. I like our chances with these Defense as they have played somewhat better than last year , just the offense isn't as good, so the D needs to start finding ways to win!
