Question...
Sep 12, 2013, 2:52 PM
|
|
Alabama, Clemson and Oregon all go undefeated; who's playing in Nat'l Championship???? Alabama doesn't look as strong as in the past to me but they have the schedule to put them in... Oregon get's all the "hype" of being fast but there's not much to their schedule... Are we in??

Get me to 13 - 0 and we'll discuss. I will be thrilled no

matter the outcome, but IMHO if we are undefeated, we are in the NCG.

It may boil down to who comes out of the coastal and

what type of year they have. Say it is Miami and they only lose to FSU. That would probably give another top 15 win. This is why as fun as it would be to see the chickens have a truly awful year, it is better that they only have one loss going into our game. UGA can go on to win the rest of their games played in 2013 because that would help too.

Speaking of slip ups, Bama may slip this Saturday... I did like Manziel till he started talking trash.. a QB talking smack will get the "smack down" sooner than later... he's now a punk kid to me... I hope they beat Bama but I hope someone pops him a good one... I'm just saying...

But they would need TAMU to lose a couple so they could get to the SEC Championship and beat a Top-5 or so SEC east team, IMO. And even after thought, I doubt it.

Lot of variables, though. I think they would be 1-2 in the human polls.

can't worry about things out of their control. Things went our way in '81...they went undefeated and lucky situations occurred that were out of our control. I hope a NC happens again...we will need some luck too!

I can totally see the AP poll coming out with an undefeated Clemson team as #1 if they get left out of the NCG. For sure, we'd at least get some votes, but I think they'd do it just so they would have a different outcome.

Auburn is on line one.
The undefeated 2004 squad (13–0) finished second in the AP and Coaches Top 25 polls, but the team was awarded the 2004 Fanspoll.com People's National Champion title.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but in all honesty if we go undefeated, and in the process beat 4 top 10-15 teams, there's no sane measure to say we shouldn't be there

My point is the system isn't sane, not that we would end up in the game with the current system.
Any system which can't settle, on the field, when more than 2 teams are undefeated is patently stupid.

The Ducks will go undefeated... Alabama will slip (probably Saturday) but I believe LSU beats Johnny Punkball... So, with that being said, I'll be pulling against the SEC...LOL .. Miami will beat Florida State.. We will have to beat Miami in ACC Championship... Clemson VS Oregon would be a monster game... I'm just saying..

Alabama is in because of SEC SOS and SECCG. then it will come down to our SOS vs. Oregon's. we need for SC to win out except lose to us. FSU needs to beat UF. we need Miami to win out except lose to us in the ACCCG. the human element of ranking won't be that much because the 3 undefeated teams will be 1,2,3.

At least according to SOS rankings since they take into account not only opponents' records, but their opponent's records as well. And FSU, being in our division, would certainly have more common opponents than Miami.
