    I want to see USC in the cfb playoff. It would be nice to have a marquee team that hasn't made it before get in this year. I'm no fan or anything, but have to respect the job that Lincoln Riley has done in year one. I also would like to see TCU get in, just to have another new team in there.

    I know some will wish for chaos, but think about what that likely means. It likely means that either Bama or OSU gets in. Fuget about that! I'd rather get a swift kick in the nutz than see Bama in another dam playoff. And don't get me started on OSU.

    Go Trojans and Go Horned Frogs!

    Also have to worry about Purdue beating Michigan. Not likely, but anything can happen in this best of all possible worlds.

    I’m in the minority on these forums but I want tOsU to back in to the CFP. For the simple reason I think they stand a better chance of beating Jawja than TCU.

    I must support Utah. Florida beat Utah. Ipso facto that makes the Gators PAC-12 Champions.

    100% agree. The only thing that matters is that Georgia gets knocked out. I’m for whoever has the best chance of that, all of other considerations subordinated.

    Both GA and MI have the possibility of losing, yet still making the playoff, imo.

    I think Uga will make the playoffs whether they win or lose. Michigan will make the playoffs as long as they don’t get blown out by Purdue. Even then they stand a good chance.

    Yep. Got it. Doesn’t matter. Still want Georgia to lose tomorrow. I want the stink of defeat in their mouth when they go to Round 1.

    I think the 4 playoff teams are a lock now: UGA, Michigan, TCU and tOSU. A blowout loss by TCU is the only thing that might break that up.

    I also think the committee will go to great lengths to avoid a Michigan/tOSU semifinal rematch. So we're very likely looking at UGA/tOSU and TCU/Michigan matchups.

    Could Bama be back in the running if TCU loses?

    Go Utah!!
    Better team, coach, and I’ll take Cam Rising.
    So great to watch Utah out physical USC twice after no one gave them a chance.

    yeah, that's great but has nothing to do with the playoff, other than getting OSU into it. Yeay.. . :emoji_rolling_eyes:

    As a football fan, I think letting a team into the playoffs that gets blown out at home, to a rival, in their last home game, sets a really bad precedent. As much as I hate to admit it, I think the Gumps with a last second loss and an overtime loss to rivals away from home is a more competition friendly choice.
