If the debate comes down to Tennessee and Oregon for that final spot it will be interesting. Oregon got humiliated by Georgia and Tennessee lost by 2TDs in Athens.

It may come down to that because Texas is gonna beat TCU by 17+ Saturday.

Nope. Then it would be the following:

1. Georgia
2. Michigan/Ohio State winner
3. Oregon or Tennessee
4. Oregon or Tennessee

There is enough room for Tennessee and Pac12 Champion. A lot of people keep missing that point.

You caught me. I thought if that seconds after I posted, but I let it stand for comedic effect. Kudos.

2. But LSU winning sec gonna make the Texas over TCU a salient thing

Don't worry, you were like the 30th person on here talking about Oregon vs. Tennessee lol. It is going on in 3-4 threads right now for some reason and everyone is missing the point that both could easily make it.

Why is the loser of the Ohio State/Michigan game automatically eliminated when Tennessee isn't?
 
TCU feels like a Lincoln Riley OU doppelganger.

If Ohio State loses close, they are probably in. If Michigan loses, some folks are saying their OOC schedule might keep them out.

Well for one, compare both of their schedules against Tennessee's schedule (or even Oregon's schedule). That should answer your question.

Penn State is the only quality win on both their schedules and Notre Dame is the only other quality win on Ohio State's schedule.

If Oregon/USC win out they get the nod over Tennessee.

The common opponents thing is unlikely to become a point of contention after the conference championship is added, which is a much bigger data point for the committee.

I'd make 3/4 Oregon/USC since either would be in if they won out, but aside from that spot on.

Certainly possible. UCLA has a weaker OOC schedule, so they have a bit less to fall back on.

True. I just think USC is playing with fire because they have won a lot if close games against, what is in paper, inferior opponents. I also have in mind a first year coach rule where a first year coach tends to drop a few games they shouldn't because they are not playing with their recruits or players and their system isn't 100% in place. Granted USC has the wave of transfers from OU which gets around some of that rule.

Yeah, USC and TCU have been living on the edge for a while. That usually catches up with you.

SC hasn't been on this high of an "edge" for quite awhile now, tho... so let us have some fun, will ya???

One upside for teams like those is they seem to be relaxed while in close games. We see it in March Madness. Some teams don’t have close games in the season. Then when the nut cuttin’ starts they get uncomfortable and can’t handle it.
