HuskerNation1 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 So we've already seen Miss St, UCLA, and Georgia lose this week. OSU is without their QB, and Baylor's QB left the game with an injury. If Alabama ends up losing to Auburn (they are down by 12 in the 3rd quarter), that would mean no SEC team remains with only one loss. That leads to two questions. 1. Does a 2-loss SEC team still beat four power 5 teams with one loss or less? 2. Assuming Alabama loses, who do you see as the top 4 teams heading into conference titles next week. Here are my four: #1-Oregon #2-FSU #3-TCU #4-OSU The next four: #5-Baylor #6-Alabama #7-Michigan State #8-Mississippi St Given the SEC went 0-4 today vs the ACC, there is actual gameday evidence that they should not be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to a 2-loss SEC team trumping teams from other conferences.

Ratt Mhule Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Oregon, FSU and TCU are in given they win out. The question is, does OSU, Baylor or Alabama take that fourth spot. IMO, Baylor should get it if they win next week. I know there will be an uproar if no SEC teams are in, but I don't think you can put in a two loss Alabama over a one loss Baylor or tOSU. Gonna be interesting. Quote Link to comment
HuskerinSunDiego Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 No chance that the SEC gets two teams in the playoffs. Zero. 1. Alabama (i.e., if they don't lose tonight!) 2. Oregon 3. FSU 4. Baylor (if they beat soon-to-be #10 K-State). Others looking in: 5. TCU 6. tOSU (since their QB broke his ankle tonight, the committee knows they have no chance of winning. They won't waste a spot on a team with a gimpy ankle). Quote Link to comment
HuskerinSunDiego Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If Bama loses tonight, watch the pollsters launch Missouri from #17 all the way to no. 6. Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How does tcu get in over baylor if both win out? Baylor has head to head resulting in a conference title. Its a crime in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Baylor will have to jump TCU if both win next weekend. If OSU wins without Barrett, and Oregon/FSU take care of business, then those four deserve it if Bama loses. If OSU loses, then I think Bama still deserves it. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How does tcu get in over baylor if both win out? Baylor has head to head resulting in a conference title. Its a crime in my opinion.The Big 12 will recognize them both as conference champions. I know Baylor beat TCU, but if you give me the eyeball test, TCU is the better team. Quote Link to comment

Its a crime in my opinion. If you watched that game, TCU got screwed at the end with 3 pass interference calls that went in Baylors favor. I didn't care who won the game but remember saying to myself that TCU got a raw deal...and they still only lost by 3 at Baylor. TCU is the better team overall. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 No. In a round robin schedule, the head to head winner is recognized as the outright champ. Only way its different is if theres an even 3way tie. Quote Link to comment
2ndNnine Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Bad enough that the Big 12 gets one team in with no title game. Two ain't happening. I chose TCU because their mascot is a horny toad Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/09/in-the-event-of-an-11-1-tie-big-12-would-submit-baylor-as-its-champion-to-cfp-committee/ On Sunday [from article dated 11/9], College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock clarified the committee’s stance should each squad finish the season unscathed. Per Bill Hancock, the conferences advise the committee who their champs are, which is one of factors in selection process… Per Big 12, while league technically recognizes co-champs, winner of head-to-head would be submitted to playoff by Big 12 as champ In other words, if Baylor and TCU tied atop the Big 12 standings, the playoff committee would consider Baylor the champ because of h-to-h — Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) November 9, 2014 That doesn’t mean the committee would necessarily select Baylor over TCU. But that would be an edge Baylor would have in evaluation process — Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) November 9, 2014 Quote Link to comment
