November 26, 20232 yr An fsu loss is our best bet. The Alabama win keeps us as having the best win of the year. Washington loss would have been nice but I think Oregon wins next week so it's not that bad for us. We want alabama and Oregon to win next week. We need to win by 14 plus vs ok st and let the chips fall where they may. Michigan is not losing to.iowa. that team is terribad.

November 26, 20232 yr Honestly I think we still make it in ahead of Florida State even if they don't loseThe committee definitely hopes Florida State loses because without their QB, they are terrible. But they can't really leave them out as an undefeated p5 team in place of a team with a loss. Without their QB, that aren't anywhere near a top 4 team and the committee knows this.
November 26, 20232 yr 14 minutes ago, Michael Knight said: And if they beat Washington to win the Pac 12? Maybe that will be a push with our best win. What’s their 2nd/3rd best win. What was the outcome in games against common opponents? Texas - 8-3 K State (maybe 9 wins if they take care of business against ISU), and presumably 9-3 Okie State. Beat TX Tech 57-7 Oregon - 8-4 Utah, 7-5 USC and Beat TX Tech 38-30 Texas has a better resume. End of story. edit: Oregon has 4 wins over bowl eligible teams (5 if Cal beat UCLA tonight) prior to their CCG. Texas has 7 wins over bowl eligible teams prior to their CCG.

Am I missing something in your analysis?

No a Washington loss would have been good for us. And yes FSU losing means nothing else matters for us besides seeding. Provided, of course, we beat OSU.
November 26, 20232 yr Doesn't matter. There's precedent not to drop a team because of injury. I think it was Ohio State. And if FSU wins big tonight and next week, no one will care.They can win by 1 tonight and 1 next week and they are still fine.

Fsu losing all.but guarantees us the playoff. If they lose the rest don't make a shit and that could happen as soon as 3 hours from now.

That's not chaos, that means they all lost their championship games all things being equal the committee would just pick the conference champs. Theres 5 conferences and the ACC is the weakest one so they would be left out

November 26, 20232 yr My best was with Mike Leach and WSU vs ISU, made signs for TV, which Tom Luganbill (sp?) just shook his head and said no comment!Hook’em!!!

November 26, 20232 yr So you think the committee would leave out an undefeated P5 conference champion, in favor of at least one team with a loss? It's fluid/piss but I could see it happening.
November 26, 20232 yr This is the way it's going to be bitches.. Follow the money, eyes on the tv/stream...

It's fluid/piss but I could see it happening. If this was Louisville, TCU, Utah, or some traditional 3rd-tier team, I could see it happening. FSU is a big enough name that they won't get left out if they go undefeated, regardless of how shitty their backup qb looks.
November 26, 20232 yr It's fluid/piss but I could see it happening. To be clear, I doubt anyone thinks they are one of the best four teams. I just don’t think they’d do that.
November 26, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, TKthunder2 said: The committee absolutely will adjust as needed especially when there are shakeups in the rankings. New data points this week: Texas secures it’s spot in the Big 12 CCG Texas destroys Tech and team that shares a common opponent with Oregon Ohio State loses/Michigan wins Regular season will be complete and they can accurately compare conference strength They’ve stated that the margins between the one loss teams was very slim, I think they have a better argument now versus next week to move teams around. They won’t adjust and put Oregon ahead because Ducks just smoked OSU. You’re buying too much into what committee says or writes and it’s utter nonsense. Winner of of UO-UW is in. Mich in. Winner of Bama-UGA in. We need FSU to lose, were hurt by WSU losing, and were totally fucked by Auburn today. We haven’t gotten any help and we’re gonna be 5 if FSU doesn’t lose. 10 minutes ago, chemHORN said: FSU not losing tonight. We didn't get much help today We got the opposite of help.

They explicitly consider injuries. It’s a different committee, but I remember when they left Cincinnati off of the top line in the bball tourney because their best player got injured late, even though they were clearly the best team.

The example of Kenyon Martin from the year 2000 in the sport of basketball has no relevance to a football committee selecting 4 teams in the year 2023. Like the crossover there is less than 0

I doubt they bump FSU, but if FSU looks like ass their last two games and barely wins, I’m not writing it off.
November 26, 20232 yr undefeated FSU ain't getting left out even if my 60 year old ass is playing QB.
November 26, 20232 yr the fucking fox halftime clowns were saying that it would be unfair for osu to drop from 2 to 8.... that they deserve to be higher.... uh fuck that. the osu fucks got unbeliveably lucky last year sneaking in after losing. this year there are going to be 3 or 4 (outside chance of 5) OTHER teams with the same fuking record as you. and anywhere from 1-3 of them are going to be conf champs...something you wont be. unless Texas, FSU, Oregon, Bama, and MI all lose next week (ALL of them not just 1), you have NO fucking shot or right to expect to be in the fucking mix

November 26, 20232 yr Now feels like without a Louisville win next week we are on the outside looking in. How fucking annoying to beat Bama, (maybe) get to 12-1, and not make it.
