If Michigan beats Georgia....and Cinci beats Bama...you can

bet the farm....that will be the last time ESPN EVER lets two SEC schools play non SEC opponents in the first round. They will from then on be matched up so that at least one SEC team makes it to the finals.

I was actually surprised by that myself. They could have guaranteed an SEC team but no they went for it all.

No no no no. The 4 letter network is arrogant. They think they will get two SEC teams in the finals.

^^This^^
Mind you. I don’t think they are wrong in assuming this either this year.
Michigan is right up there with SEC schools for me. Jimmy boy really soured me on them. Trying to figure out how 3 teams I really cannot stand can lose. Come on Cincy please be Cinderella!

SEC and Saban owns the NCAA. Not winning their conference championship came should have put UGA 4th. Forcing rematch semis where if UGA won would have taken Alabama out of title game. I am so hoping Michigan and Cincinnati plays for Natty. Michigan wins

In honor of many of their fans, maybe Clemson should change their colors to green and deeper green as the amount of SEC jealousy and envy staggers the mind. And top the helmets off with tinfoil to highlight the fans inane conspiracy theories.

ESPN was telling the committee what they needed to do

Saturday night.
If Michigan won, it was supposed to be Bama, Michigan, Georgia, Cincinnati.
If Michigan lost, they were told it should be Bama, Cincinnati, Georgia, Baylor.
Now, this is blatantly illogical on its face. Michigan winning or losing should have no bearing on whether Cincinnati is ranked above Georgia, but it makes all the sense in the world for ESPN, who doesn't want a rematch immediately in the semis.
What do you know? The committee did exactly as they were told.
They don't have to be bought. They all eat from the same pie. Your refusal to see or acknowledge the obvious doesn't make it any less the case.

I thought they always had #1 playing #4 and #2 playing #3. This year it's #1 playing #3 and #2 playing #4. Did I remember wrong? If both SEC teams win, this sets up an all SEC final.

No, it is # 1 Alabama vs # 4 Cincinnati and # 2 Michigan playing # 3 Georgia. Georgia and Alabama switched positions in the final CFP ranking after the Tide dismantled the Dawgs in the SECCG!

No fact is Georgia should have been 4th so then switched actual 4th and 3rd place teams

And if Georgia beats Michigan, and Alabama beats Cincinnati how much money are you willing to place on Kirby finally shutting the door on Saban?
