Oregon would have had a more favorable playoff matchup if they lost their championship game yesterday. Penn State won by losing. - Bacon Dec 8, 10:01 9
- You can argue that Texas and Penn State have the best paths and they both lost. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 8, 10:04 5
  - I took one look at the bracket and thought, "Welp, it's Texas vs. Georgia again." -- nm - David Dec 8, 10:06 4
    - I'll go #1 v #2. I actually think Oregon is a legitimate title team. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:18 3
      - That's fair. I like Oregon enough that I expect them to win their first game. - David Dec 8, 10:25 2
        
        As an Oregon fan, Georgia scares me the most. -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 10:25 1
        
        They should. They broke Florida State last year for how the committee did them wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:32
- So did Texas. - David Dec 8, 10:03
- HA! A rematch is most desired -- nm - crash davis 😺 Dec 8, 10:03 1
  - You don't want any of that smoke. They started the year slow while the new players figured out how to play with each other. Now we be chuggin! -- nm - Bacon Dec 8, 10:05
See if I got this right -- in the AP poll, OSU and UT swapped spots despite *NOT PLAYING* and now it's seeded that way. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:45 14
- Tennessee should be hosting SMU. Instead they are going to Ohio State. It’s not MILES of difference because the next round is Georgia or Oregon but.. - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 8, 09:56 4
  - We knew it was gonna be a mess, but they still found a way to fuck it more than I would have thought possible. -- nm - David Dec 8, 09:57
  - It makes tons of sense. The playoff committee wanted to clear the easiest path possible for Texas (and for Penn State) -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 09:56 2
    - Penn State's defense might as well shout "OLE!" on every play. -- nm - David Dec 8, 10:02
    - It's all about the $$$$$$ -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 09:57
- You gotta laugh at all of it. Politics came into play. - David Dec 8, 09:53
- They didn't swap in the official playoff rankings. The AP is not the playoff rankings. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 09:48 6
  - Oops. Didn't notice that the AP swapped them. That is odd even though it didn't have to match the playoff rankings. -- nm* - Dano Dec 8, 09:50 5
    - Doesn't have to, but there's no reality where OSU should have jumped this week and they aren't a better resume than UT. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:55 4
      - I would replace Indiana with Alabama. I also don't see how Penn State is ahead of Ohio St with the head to head. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 09:59 3
        
        Their big problem is they are supposed to pick the 7 best at-large teams (not best records, but best) There's no world where Indiana is that, but - Will Hunting Dec 8, 10:06 1
        
        Even by Big 10 standards Indiana wound up with a cake conference schedule. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 10:15
        
        The AP Poll also has Notre Dame ahead of Texas and Penn St but ND is seeded behind them in the playoffs. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 10:01
- And SMU is #12 and Clemson (the team that just beat them) is #13. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:46
