Wake 6-0
NC St 5-1

Oregon 5-1
Arizona St 5-1
Okla 7-0
Oka St 6-0
Baylor 6-1
Michigan St 7-0
Michigan 6-0
Penn St 5-1
Ohio St 5-1
Iowa 6-1
Georgia 7-0
Kentucky 6-1
Bama 6-1

You strike me as a pessimist. You seemed annoyed that we all knew UC would rock UCF's world today. I'm not convinced any one loss conference champion other than the SEC champ if they have 1 loss is getting in over us. I do worry about OSU. A 1 loss ACC champ isn't getting in and Wake is going to lose.

B1G champ is absolutely getting in over us unless they have two losses. This year, I think you can pencil in the SEC and B1G champs, and it's down to the last two spots. Iowa losing lessened the chances of two B1G teams, but I can still see a scenario where OSU beats an undefeated Michigan in a close, well-played game, then goes out and destroys Iowa. Don't underestimate the desire of the media wanting Michigan to be relevant again. SEC getting two in is also still in play until either UGA loses or Bama picks up another loss. One favorable factor is that espn won't go all out in lobbying for a second B1G school the way they will for a second....or third....or fourth SEC team.

I don't agree with it. I'm not happy about it. It is, however, the reality of our world.
