Week 6 Playoff Projections

[michaeljordan_fan]

1 - Texas (Sugar)
2 - Ohio State (Rose)
3 - Clemson (Peach)
4 - Iowa State (Fiesta)
5 - Georgia
6 - Penn State
7 - Oregon
8 - Alabama
9 - LSU
10 - Miami
11 - Notre Dame
12 - Boise State

Boise State @ Georgia
Notre Dame @ Penn State
Miami @ Oregon
LSU @ Alabama

Top 4 remained unchanged. Lots of chaos below that, with several teams dropping a game. Alabama drops a couple spots, and could drop further, except that 2 of their "tougher" opponents also dropped a game.

Miami, although looking dreadful, benefits from a lot of the other contenders dropping a game. At this point, it looks like they might go into the ACC CG undefeated based on their remaining games left. Even losing @ Louisville next week but winning the rest of the regular season games might be enough given the chaos elsewhere. This seeding may end up being too low if they go 12-1 with a loss to Clemson. Will depend on how the committee views some of these narrow escapes.

Notre Dame also benefits due to USC looking much more winnable and surprisingly good SOS matchups upcoming vs Army/Navy.

Boise State still looks like the best G5 team. If we get to a point where the BigXII champ is likely to have 2+ losses, they'll get moved onto the 4-seed.

This comes a bit closer on the fact that it does not include LSU. They have 3 more losses coming. They have Ole Miss, @TAM, Alabama and Oklahoma. Not to mention the new bullies on the block, Vandy and Arky. LSU ain't making it, unless a major miracle happens and BK becomes a good coach.

Yeah, I think there's at least 2 more losses for LSU this season. I just don't think a 9-3 LSU would make it. That would put them behind Texas, UGA, A&M, and Bama in some sort of pecking order. Plus, I think the USC loss will age somewhat poorly. All these weird losses by the top half of the league will have a trickle down effect to the rest.

LOL at a team that lost to Northern Illinois being considered a Play-Off team.

Northern Illinois that lost to Buffalo, that lost to UConn 47-3.

Are you under the illusion that it is supposed to be fair?
