Final CFP Ranking


Nov 15, 2017, 2:46 PM

I know I looked at things through orange color glasses at times. But he is my prediction on the final CFP Ranking.

1. Clemson
2. Auburn
3. Oklahoma
4. Wisconsin

I believe Auburn will beat Bama at home and go on to beat Georgia again

I believe that Oklahoma and Wisconsin will win out.

Yes we have usc left, they have had a better than expected year so far. But I do not believe they have played a defense like they will see from Clemson.
Miami will look to stop us from running, like they did to ND. So we will have to get the passing game going, especially the deep passes ( more than 15 yards), so they cannot stack the box against the run. I believe KB can and will do that. It will help the game s in Charlotte. Miami barely travels inside their home city, much less this far away.

Most likely scenario to me is...

We win out.
Auburn wins out.
OU wins out.
Wisconsin loses to either Michigan or Ohio state.

Who do we play in NOLA?

You bring up a very good point TU.

Wisconsin loses, which they have not been tested, wow, that really would open it up.

hopefully OSU tbh I like to see Urban cry

I'll go along with that.

Wis might not make it so there may be another B1G team in the four spot but imo, you have the first three deadonthemoney.

Yes, you are 100 percent correct, a Wisconsin loss, really changes who the 4th might be.

I would love not to see Bama this season

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nov 15, 2017, 2:58 PM

Don't want to play in Nola vs an SEC team


Nov 15, 2017, 3:13 PM

That would be no advantage for being the number 1 or 2 team. I could see this happening...

1) Clemson 2) Wisconsin 3) Oklahoma 4) UGA/Auburn

In that event we would be sent to Pasadena instead.

Auburn over Bama?


Nov 15, 2017, 3:34 PM

I’m with you that Auburn has a great chance of knocking them off, but idk if I’m ready to go ahead and call it. How confident are you on that?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

you can't leave a one-loss Bama team out of the playoffs seriously it's Alabama***

This won't be popular, but


Nov 15, 2017, 4:45 PM

If Oklahoma wins out, I think they'll be #1

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I really don't think so.


Nov 15, 2017, 4:50 PM

We would be playing (and beating) a good South Carolina team on the road and then Miami (likely #2 or 3), who we have yet to play yet.

Anyone Oklahoma plays in their championship game is going to be a likely ranked 8-15 team they've already beaten in the regular season, so unless they show some sort of improved defensive dominance or something, i doubt that the committee would be overly impressed with that sort of win. They will be very impressed if we beat Miami.

You could make the argument they should be ranked ahead of us now.

If we both win out... (Rankings based on current CFP Rankings)
Oklahoma will have beaten
#9 Ohio State
#12 TCU
#13 Oklahoma State
#12/#13 TCU/OkSt in the championship game

Clemson will have beaten
#3 Miami
#6 Auburn
#19 NC State

WVU and VT are comparable (both on the fringe of the top 25).

Their loss is better than ours (ISU is just outside of the top 25 with some big wins). It doesn't seem like the committee is putting too much importance on who you lose to, and maybe giving us a break with the KB injury.

It will come down to how our opponents finish the year.

Auburn plays Bama (and UGA again if they beat Bama) - Chance to move up if they win out, or down if they lose
NC State winning out would help us, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them lose to Wake and/or UNC

Ohio St finishes with Michigan and Wisconsin - Chance to move up if they win out, or down if they lose
TCU finishes with TTU and Baylor
OSU finishes with K-State and Kansas

We all know SC is not good, but their record will help us (another win against a +.500 team)...

All in all, pretty much a toss-up imo
