It's awesome that you're not smart enough to know you're embarrassing yourself.

So, Oregon should get in despite the fact we've already seen they are not at that level vs any other team with a blemish?

Everyone voting in that room will have seen how not ready for that level Oregon is. There were no signs on either side of the ball that they could play a team of that caliber.

no even at all what i said.

Yea playing across the country didn't cause them to lose by 46 points, not matter how much the ODs of the world want to believe. It's still at least a 3 score game if they played that game at Autzen.

Only a 3 score game if they invent a 12 point touchdown.

Although you did say “at least”

Yea, gonna be hard to convince the committee to put them in unless they turn around and completely dominate the rest of the season or enough other teams lose twice to leave them no choice but to put them in.

I think this argument will end up being pointless though because IMO Oregon loses at minimum 2 more games.

Oh for sure. I approached that question as in some alternate universe where somehow Oregon finds a way to go undefeated through conference and ended up 12-1. It's flat-out not going to happen, but hypotheticals are all people have at this stage.

In that weird universe, would Oregon make the top 4? It would require just terrible options out of the Big 12 champion and both SEC/B1G #2's. All 3 would have to be just fucking terrible to still not get in over a team that got that badly destroyed.

You can overcome an early loss. Utah has more of an argument for overcoming an early loss than Oregon does, and yet it would also still be tough to see those 3 other teams mentioned above all being worse than a 12-1 Utah. Not impossible, but it's a tall order.

Based on what we've seen and just know about the conference, USC and UCLA still have bids, but both have reasons to be skeptical they can run the table. And it's still not known if a 1 loss USC that at least beat a then-ranked ND to end the season before taking out the next best Pac would be enough. I'd say more likely than Oregon and maybe even Utah, but not by miles.

You posed a question and I asked a different one based on your statement.

I don't think the Pac has been eliminated, however the odds of any team doing what it would take to put up an argument looks bleak as it stands now. I just don't see enough meat on the bone for Oregon to have any other game that could indicate they bounced back. There just aren't Pac teams anyone would believe would be a good enough victory over to suggest they could stand up against those top-tier teams and play at their level.

but then it becomes a conversation of whose loss was better or worse. no one else is going to be in the mix losing to a UGA caliber team. is it worse to lose to the # 1,2,3 team by 40 on the road or lose to a 7-5 team by 14 at home

Neither.

But there are a million different scenarios.

If it was between Utah and Oregon for instance, I would lean towards Utah's loss being better in the sense that while they did lose, they played well and I thought showed more life than Oregon. Even though there is a gap between UF and UGA this year, how you show up matters, especially during primetime.

The 2nd best SEC team would have to have 2 losses for sure. They aren't getting in over a 1 loss non champ Bama or UGA if that was what it came down to.

Basically all other options would need 2 losses.

Unless they were stacked up against like a 1 loss Baylor, theyd probably get picked over them.

I'm not sure they get in over a 2 loss Bama or UGA. Especially if that 2 loss team is UGA.

Depends on the circumstance.

If it's UGA and their 2nd loss comes to Bama in a close game in the SEC title game. Yea UGA is getting over over them.

If somehow UGA manages to lose 2 regular season games and doesnt make the SEC title game. I think a 1 loss Oregon gets the nod in that scenario.
 
It's moot. Oregon likely picks up at least 2 more losses.
Very possible it's 3 or even 4 more losses.
 
Notre Dame done.
 
Yes
