Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Postlooking like Bama, Georgia and Ohio State are as close to locks as you can get - Clemson seems vulnerable to me with the frosh QB, but they still have to be the favorite for the other spot. Then you have to look at Notre Dame. so yeah, at this point, i'd say odds are against anybody from the PAC or Big 12 getting an invite.
Oklahoma's odds of winning out are basically zero with the defense in complete disarray following Stoops's dismissal.

now, same scenario but Notre Dame and Ohio State are undefeated, no way they take Texas even if they win out.I'm like LeBron James.

Originally posted by Babs View PostAre we assuming Clemson has already disqualified itself somehow? Then yes. They won't take a one-loss Notre Dame. Best case one-loss scenario for ND is a loss to a mediocre Southern Cal team the week before selection. No dice for ND. I also don't see the committee taking Tide and Dogs for two straight years.
When's the last time we had three undefeated marquee teams? Even assuming this implausible scenario, they would take the three undefeated teams and Texas, which would have won 12 straight and is the nation's single biggest cash cow.I'm like LeBron James.

I haven't followed the Big 12 much this year, but is WV not still an option? The back half of their schedule is much more difficult than their front, but if they beat OU and Texas they will have some quality wins.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
