what i think will happen the rest of the way with the top 10


Oct 31, 2022, 11:25 AM

UGA: I think they run the table and end up number #1 in final rankings
Tennessee: Will win all games handedly but lose by 1 score to UGA and finish #3 in the final rankings
Ohio State: Runs the table and finish #2 in the final rankings
Michigan: Loses a close one to Ohio state and drops out of the top 4
Clemson: Runs the table has a scare in 1 of the remaining games but still finishes #4 in the final rankings
Alabama: Loses to either LSU or Ole miss and doesnt make it to Atlanta. Finishes #10 in the final rankings
TCU: Will trip up at either Texas or Baylor and finish #9 in the final rankings
Oregon: will run the table and finish #5 with everyone bitching that they are better team than clemson
USC: will lose to UCLA and fall out of the top 10
UCLA: will lose to Oregon in the Pac Championship and finish #8

Final Rankings on Dec 4th
1. UGA
2. Tennessee
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson
5. Oregon
6. Michigan
7. Ole Miss
8. UCLA
9. TCU
10. Alabama

I will use your game results but suggest that the top 4 instead would be:

1. OSU
2. UGA
3. Clemson
4. Tennessee

It will be a tough argument between OSU who knocked off a top 4 team in their final regular season game and then played a lackluster conference title game and UGA who last played a top 4 team the 1st weekend of November (with a weak final 3 games) and then beat a less exciting Ole Miss or LSU team in their conference title game.

That discussion may come down to margin of victory in their biggest games. I can see it being laid out either way if the games fall as you suggested.

But I'll add to your post that Illinois should be a two loss team in b1g unless they can upset Mich. Even at 2 losses, they'll vault Illinois into top 10 before OSU plays them. Same with sec west team, no matter what, they'll be a top 10 team b4 championship game.

I can see that as well. But lets say TCU does go undefeated. This will leave Tennessee watching form home. Or even better lets say Tennessee beats UGA and Plays and loses to LSU. A team they have beat pretty bad during the regular season. This would get very interesting. Seeing as LSU would be SEC champs with 2 losses. Who would the committee pick to represent if say Clemson/OSU/TCU have no losses? Could a 1 loss Oregon jump ahead of the SEC Teams? Even after being embarrassed by UGA to start the season.

Everyone's assumes sec gets more than one team in, but I'm not sure they can leave out undefeated teams like Clemson or TCU. I've always believed that the loser of a head to head shouldn't get a rematch in CFP. The loser of UT and Georgia should be out, especially if the west wins the title game.

And using the OP's prediction, Clemson and Georgia wind up in the Peach Bowl and tickets on the secondary market go for $10,000 each.

Nice predictions Tigerfan - let's see what actually happens - perhaps you should compare your predictions with what actually happens when the regular season is over; will be interesting to see how you did.

Frankly, my main concern is that the Tigers don't trip anywhere; ND and Louisville both looked strong last week.

The fly in the pudding is Ole Miss. If they somehow beat Bama next week, they will likely play the Georgia-Tennessee winner for the Championship and who knows then. Either way the game might be 49-45 and could go either way in a track meet like that. Ole Miss winning the SEC will not knock us out if we are undefeated but just might land us at #2 behind #1 Ohio State.
