Tennessee and UGA are locks for playoff.
Nov 18, 2022, 7:01 PM
|

The only question is will LSU also get in.
I've been watching some TV program of college football experts on some network on my cable line-up and they explained it very clearly.
1. TN and UGA are locks.
2. Winner of OSU/Michigan is a lock.
The following schools are vying for the other spot.
LSU - they are a lock if they beat UGA
Loser of OSU/Mich
USC
TCU
No one else has a chance.
Bama will play ACC Champ (probably UNC) in Orange Bowl.
These guys are experts. They are on Xfinity cable. They have to know what they are talking about.

Well, those are the teams that currently occupy the first 7 spots in the latest ranking so they didn't exactly venture too far out on the limb with those picks...

a favorite over Clemson n the ACC title game?
Based on what exactly?
Because they sure haven’t played any defense all year long.

Based on the fact that Clemson has not been consistent in their games, especially with style points to below average teams. Drake Maye > DJU, too may turnovers lately, and Defense has looked underwhelming. Maye is able to make up for a lot of flaws on UNC.
The ND game was not only a loss, but it was an ugly loss. The media geniuses barely give Clemson any credit when undefeated, the ND game gave them the excuse to basically cut Clemson out of the conversation.
The Tigers need to come out tomorrow and beat the Canes into the ground. Make a statement.

So let me get this straight a good offense with a terrible defense equals great on the eye test?
Wake Forest says hello.
Defense matters too idiots. Just ask Trent Dilfer.

Once again, Reading Comprehension. UNC has a better, more consistent QB in Maye. Their defense is not great, but Clemson has not looked that great or physical with better than average teams on D. They did look better vs Louisville. Maye can extend the plays. UNC will bring it. The championship game will be close.
Small minded people and 6 year olds call people names when they can’t make valid points.

I agree with most of what you said. My opinion is that the playoff committee kind of painted themselves in a corner with Tn. They lost by 14 to Georgia - and wasnt that close for most of the game. If Mich/OSU is a 3-7 point game, that could create a lot of craziness. I think Tn has a better resume, but if OSU’s or Mich’s loss is to a similarly ranked team as Tn’s loss, but by less points, it could create some bad optics. I dont think LSU is that good and Alabama is certainly having a down year. I guess its hard to know just how good anyone is from game to game and i may be just a little biased. Now, if TCU loses, that sends everything into anarchy. I dont think the country wants to see an all sec/b1g playoff. Especially not this year. Maybe, if USC wins out and wins the pac, the committee may say they value winning a conference and give them the playoff spot.

If USC wins their last 3 games against ND, UCLA, and Utah or Oregon in the championship then they probably deserve it.

Depends how badly they get beat by UGA. Of course the SUC will make the game closer than it actually is to make sure they both get in.

If USC goes to 12-1, they will get in over TN. I never thought
Nov 18, 2022, 8:33 PM
|

I would pull for USC, but I am this year! Also hoping TCU goes 13-0. Then we'll have a CFP of UGA, OSU/Mich winner, TCU & USC. If USC and TCU win out, I really think that's what we'll have. If USC can beat UCLA, ND and then the Oregon/Utah winner, I don't think the committee will have any problem putting them above Tennessee! However, winning those three will be a tall order for USC!
There is just too much that would have to happen for us to have any chance of getting in. Probably something as crazy as TN losing to Usuc or Vandy, along with Mich getting blown out by OhSt!

Nov 18, 2022, 9:41 PM

12-1 Clemson will not jump over Tennessee. The perception of the ACC is too weak! The only lower ranked team that will vault over Tennessee is USC, if they finish 12-1. If OhSt loses a really close one to Mich, they may stay in the top four, if USC loses!

Totally disagree, everyone is basing their predictions based on the rankings today. People have an illusion that Tennessee being 5 guarantees them 4 after OhSt and Michigan play, but this is not true. The championship games are the key. If Clemson goes 12-1 they have a very strong argument for the playoffs based on precedence set by the committee in the past. If USC and TCU lose Clemson is all but guaranteed a spot in as the ACC Champion. If 3 teams are undefeated and USC and Clemson are the last 2 Champions fighting for the spot, then it will be interesting. Also if 3 teams are undefeated Tennessee is eliminated unless Clemson and USC lose. LSU will not win but if they did they would eliminate Georgia and possibly be passed over for Clemson, USC, and TCU. This is also based on precedence. You have to forget that the ESPN bias is not in the CFP committee's room. Clemson #4 ranking in the first rankings proved that already. A 1 loss conference champion is in over a 1 loss Tennessee, but a 2 loss champion will open the door for Tennessee that is why they are 5th. I believe they will stay there in 5th place until the championship games are decided. Two 2 loss champions and Tennessee is in. Clemson will jump to the top 4 after championship weekend if they are 12-1, mark it and watch, and if you are a true Tiger you will enjoy this ride!

You can talk precedence all you want, but the perception is that the ACC is very weak this year! Clemson and UNCheat are by far the lowest ranked one-loss teams! Several two-loss teams are above them. If LSU would get lucky enough to beat UGA, they would even get in ahead of Clemson!
The ACC is being treated almost like they are a group of five league this year!

It is my understanding that when they set up the 4 team playoff, the SEC wouldn't go along with it being just conference champions! Of course, they got their way, just like with the 12 team format, they'll be allowed to get 5 or 6 teams in.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious. I was listening to the Paul Finebaum show as he and a couple of guests were explaining how the playoffs would end up.
The post was meant to be sarcastic. I do not take SEC Network, especially PF, as objective analysts about college football.

I get you were relaying what some cable football show said, but TN is on the outside looking in. For them to get in, TCU, USC and UNC all have lose a game.
Yes I said UNC. UnC as a one loss conference champ who defeated Pitt handily gets in over a one loss TN who took two overtimes to be Pitt. Those are two data points the committee will value over anything TN has done. Particularly if GA handles LSU in the SEC Champ game. TN best win will be over a three loss team that lost to an above average ACC team.
If GA or OHIO St lose a game then there is no way TN gets in. Both of those teams with a loss get in over TN.
TN is a legit top ten team but they will get leapfrogged in the last CFB ranking. I don’t know why the talking heads always talk about whose getting in the playoff based on what they think instead of how the committee has shown they make decisions.
When TN gets left out, the committee will say “This is why we wanted to expand”.

not win their conference! So it does happen! If OH St beats Mich, Tenn will move above them. If TCU loses, Tenn will jump them.
If Tenn doesn't choke tonight, they'll probably finish third. They'll put them third if UGA stays #1, so they won't have to meet in the first round!

I don't think everyone recognizes satire when they see it. How dare you make fun of sports analysts and writers.

I just read titles generally and never read what some fsu fan wrote. If I took fsu seriously I might have read his attempt at humor. My bad.

Tennessee lost to SC bad they are out. Loser of OSU UM out Clemson TCU both in if run tables. LSU in if beat UGA with Clemson or TCU lose. Can’t see 2 BIG10 or 2 SEC in if ACC and TCU win out. But know committee still gonna try put Alabama in.
