Just finished watching. Wow, tOSU lost their poise, at home. Quick note to the, oh, 400 Michigan fans top level end zone area: take off those blue sweatshirts on the way to the car. The 'Bus is filled with a-holes after a loss. (After a win, too, but not as many who want to burn shit.)
Seems Michigan was strategizing all season for this game, holding back their QB, establishing running games and all that. Then, unleash the McCraken, er, MeCarthy!! And on Defense, The McGregor!
You sure? Scenarios 4,6, and 9 are out, and it’s possible current scenarios 1-4, 6, and 9 could all be off the table. You sticking with the remaining order in the unlikely event that happens?
The chances are extremely remote, but it would be a weird scenario where the favorites all lose their conference championships and the committee picks no conference winners in the playoffs.
I’m not seeing any scenario where LSU makes it. In the meltdown scenario, the following teams would remain ahead of a 3-loss LSU:
UGA
MI
Ohio State
AL
TCU
Maybe USC
Probably. Would just be interesting if the committee wound up picking no conference champions for the playoffs in the event of lots of upsets in the conference championships.
I think scenarios 1,2, and 7 are the last standing from DTNF’s list above. 7 is tOSU, and I do think they are probably in. I’d say it’s probably pick 2 from tOSU, TCU, and Alabama. TCU has by far the best resume of the 3 to me this year.
