Official CFP Matchups

Meh, not impressed with Georgia's offense. Defense was great, exposed against Alabama speed.

Michigan doesn't have Alabama speed on our offense - that's the problem. And Georgia's offense is essentially the same offense we run, where we are pretty balance between run and pass. Georgia averages 200 rushing and 250 passing. Michigan averages 225 and 225.

Both have quality defenses, but Georgia has elite talent at every level and an unbelievable rush defense. UM gives up roughly 75 more yards per game on average.

The reason I am not a fan of the match up is the rush defense Georgia has. UM's offense can be stymied if the run is taken away. I just don't see UM successfully running the ball on Georgia.

Make no mistake Cincinnati is the top.
 
Yeah, we're just assuming the SEC is great because 'SEC'

We seem to forget (8-4) UCLA beat LSU by double digits.

Auburn beat them by 5, Bama by 6, Arky by 3.

Georgia looked above average against Alabama, but they looked unbeatable against everyone else. By the way, above average is not good enough to beat Alabama.

Auburn and aTm proved you wrong.

The only way to potentially avoid a rematch of Georgia vs Bama is hope someone beats them. If they don’t then everyone is going to be screaming to expand the playoff. Either way CFB wins I guess.

Or - you don't intentionally set the rankings up to split Bama and Georgia, when they should have been the 1st round matchup. Bama went from, an other worldly boneheaded play by an Auburn player and a 2nd loss, to winning in 4 OT's, to all of a sudden, the #1 seed. As if the games against Florida, LSU, aTm, Auburn, didn't happen?

I thought I knew the rules well, but I guess not. It’s interesting that the chairman actually said the opposite today during the selection process. But my post was wrong, and you were exactly correct in your recollection.

No, he was not. They don't adjust 1-4 to avoid rematches.

Are you bitching because you wanted Cincinnati and scared to play Georgia? If so nut the fuck up and win your games. We play both those mother fuckers every year so I don‘t want to hear this BS.
 
I did merge the two threads, kept the older (by 3 minutes) one. No offense to anyone, but this way we all complain in the same place :)

No -- I'm bitching, we will play both in back to back games, simply because the committee decided a 42-3 win in a CCG deserves to be jumped, by a team ranked lower.

And I'm bitching about Auburn's clueless RB. This was supposed to be the year where "the other teams" have a shot to win a title. Instead - Auburn's RB gives Bama 40 extra seconds and SHOCKER, Bama goes the length of the field and makes Auburn their bitch again and Bama is now the #1 seed

You’re such a pussy.

1. Auburn doesn’t owe you shit and we‘ve beaten Saban more than anyone in the country so fuck off on that.

2. We played those two practically back to back for years so nut up.

I find it hilarious that you B1G guys bitch about how the SEC gets preferential treatment and when you get the chance to show them what you’re made of you want to complain. Nut up buttercup.

Well said, I don’t think UM will win but I’m more confident they’ll at least stay in the game
 
Michigan +7.5 is the lock of the year.

It's not in their protocol to avoid rematches, but it's possible some of the members voted with that intent.
