Yeah, I'm admittedly higher on Arkansas than most. The Big 12 runs through OU, IMO, even with all the turnover. While I think the offense won't be as explosive, it will still be good, and I think the defense will take a big step up.

I think they might be able to run the table. Also, the G5 will be down this year IMO, with Cincy rebuilding. Although, UCF and Houston could grab the G5 spot for sure.
 
They think ND a playoff team? I’ll reserve judgment. I think a close loss in week 1 to Ohio St. can be forgiven but they’d have to run the table convincingly to make the playoff.

I'm not a real big Holgerson fan but Houston may have a shot this year. They return a lot including some depth. And that new DC that came from Bama seems to have that side of the ball on the right track.

It's doable because that would basically make Arkansas the 3rd best team in the SEC and Oklahoma the 2nd best team in the big 12. I think the stretch is Arkansas as there are going to be plenty of teams with something to say about that one.

They had a great season last year but they were 4-4 in the SEC and that was a 4 way tie for 5th. KY and TN had much easier roads to get there.

These are my personal projections. Admittedly, the #4 spot is wide open. I do think we can run the table after the OSU game, which would give us the advantage over Clemson if we each have 1 loss. I also think we'll have a better resume than Michigan(who could have 1 loss), and based on my projections, I think Utah is at least 2 loss team, as is OU.

If ND is in a group of 1 loss teams they will get the bid just because. Doesn't mean they deserve it but they would get it unless one of those teams is Bama and then we all know they can lose 4 games and somehow get their ass in.

Huge thing is they replace UGA with South Carolina on the crossover as well as getting Missouri. A 3 loss Arkansas team is probably finishing in the top 10. Plus they have Cincy and BYU OOC, so that's two potential top 25 wins. I don't think 2 losses is out of the question either. Ole Miss is unknown, they get them at home. And who knows what Auburn will be this year? For whatever reason, I trust them a little more than A&M.

Really? Didn’t help us last year.

If it's Clemson, yes(assuming we beat them). Also, everyone always says ND is given the benefit of the doubt, but we have never not deserved to make the BCS title game or CFP.

Lost the head-to-head with Cincinnati at home so they got your spot. That's just fair.

I agree. Which is why the “one loss ND gets in just because” is wrong

In 2012 you didn't deserve to be there as everyone knew Alabama was going to blow you off the field. Ohio State should have been there but was on probation. Honestly, Oregon should have gotten the spot because they killed everyone but just got upset by Stanford 9who took ND to OT that year). It would have at least been a closer game because they could score.
