I hate to say it but Wake Forest should be ranked ahead of us. And that sounds so damn weird to say out loud.

Going to be very interesting where Cincy is ranked by the committee.

i mean, Wake is ranked ahead of Clemson and the Tigers have actually won nattys in my lifetime
 
12 Team Playoff using the AP Rankings:

1) Georgia
2) Cincinnati
3) Oklahoma
4) Michigan State

5) Alabama vs. 12) Auburn - Winner Plays Michigan State

8) Notre Dame vs. 9) Michigan - Winner plays Georgia

7) Oregon vs. 10) Wake Forest - Winner plays Cincinnati

6) Ohio State vs. 11) Oklahoma State - Winner plays Oklahoma
 
Not saying they're better than the teams ahead of them but rename Wake Forest to Miami or Florida State and pollsters are tripping over themselves to put them in the top 5.

bro, rename them to North Carolina and they're probably right outside the top 5

is Wake one of the top 10 teams in the country? Probably not, but its October 31st and they're still undefeated. fwiw, I don't have an issue with where they're ranked but i have zero problem with acknowledging the reality that their lack of brand value is why they aren't ranked higher.

Replay the Auburn vs Alabama game in the playoff?

I’m not sure the state survives that. No way the committee doesn‘t bump Bama to avoid it.
