Predicting the CFP poll.

[THEdonkey0515]

Wild week #1,#5,#6 all go down! Taking a guess on what the Playoff will look like


#1 UGA ( up 2 spots)
#2 Ohio state (same)
#3 Michigan ( up 2 spots)
#4 Tennessee ( Down 3 spots)
#5 TCU (up 2 spots)
#6 Oregon ( up 2 spots)
#7 USC (up 2 spots)
#8 LSU (up 2 spots)
#9 Clemson ( down 5 spots)
#10 Bama ( down 4 spots)

I could also see them flipping Tennessee and TCU. TCU is 9-0 they have been down late in almost every game they have played. I think if they had UTs schedule they would have mutiple losses at this point I don't see UT dropping past 5

As for the bammers, how do they justify staying top 10? TCU, Oregon, USC, UCLA, Clemson and now LSU can all make cases they should be ranked ahead of them.

I was just mulling over this scenario myself. I'm thinking TN will drop to 5 and TCU will jump them. Hoping the CFP gives them the credit they did Alabama with their 1 loss and keeps them at #4 tho.

I think this as well. But not a bad spot to be. Just have to not let this loss carry over to next week. Missouri played GA tough, although I don't know how.

My only other concern regarding the playoffs, is that beating Bama may not mean that much, especially after Ole Miss beats them this week !

Bur the LSU win means a little more.

Does anyone in the country have wins more impressive then both Bama & LSU on the road? Maybe UGA with wins over Oregon and UT.

That's what I think

Bammers understand. Tennessee hasn't been much of a "W" on Alabama's schedule over the last dozen or so years, but the Tide still managed to finish in the top 5 every year with a handful of National Championships.

College football final predicts TN to fall to #5 as well.

I still don't see how OSU stays at #2?

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Earlier in the year I said it was Bama, UGA & OSU at the top with everybody else week to week. Well I think it's fair to say everybody is week to week at this point. I think you can look at every team and if they don't have a loss, point to one or two games that could have been Ls.
Makes it fun that we're in the thick of it.
It's kind of like the ncaa tourney: survive & advance

My predictions:
1 UGA
2 tOSU (media darlings, but they really do seem to have a good team this year)
3 Michigan (I actually like them better than tOSU, but I'm a lil biased)
4 TCU
5 UT
6 Oregon (UT and Oregon may flip due to recency bias)
7 USC (media darlings that have faded some over the past few years)
8 LSU (may flip with USC)
9 Clemson
10 Notre Dame… I kid
10 UCLA or Ole Miss (I don't see the committee putting a 2 loss Bama over either 1 loss team, but I could be wrong)

I dunno. "Only time will tell if we can stand the test of time…"

1 UGA
2 Ohio State
3 Michigan
4 TCU
5 Tennessee
6 Oregon
7 USC
8 LSU

Final results: UGA finishes undefeated and #1. Michigan beats Ohio State and moves to #2. TCU loses to Texas and/or Baylor. Ohio State and TCU are on the outside looking in. Tennessee wins out and moves to #3. Oregon wins out and takes spot #4. USC loses to UCLA and/or Notre Dame.
