The way FSU has struggled to snake out wins againts Clemson and NC ST Im not so sure they get the nod in to the playoffs if they lose to say Notre Dame
Couple that with TxA&M, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss are all from the same division so they all have to play each other. Only 1 of this group of four can be undefeated if any at all...and everyone in the East has already lost...
The winner of Oklahoma and Baylor will get one spot unless the winner of this game slips up along the way....
Oregon/UCLA seem to be the cream of the PAC12 but either could get beat. Oregon beats UCLA but Stanford beats Oregon or USC could play spoiler not to mention the PAC12 champ game as well
There is to many games left to really predict what is going to happen.... I mean for god sakes Boston College beat USC a couple weeks ago. I will say this, if there is an undefeated team from the power conference that is 13-0 with a perfect record and a conference championship regardless who it is they will trump a 1 loss team. I just dont see in the first year of the playoff this happeneing where the commitee will reward a 1 loss anybody over an undefeated conference champ. They would be setting themselves up for failure in future years and setting a bad precedent in year one. I could be wrong but thats how I see it. Here is to Nebraska being that 13-0 conference champ. It starts Saturday at Sparty. GBR!
