    Oregon's playoff hopes dead now after losing last night to Arizona state.It looks like Alabama could sneak in now if they win the iron bowl next week.
    Auburn have already lost three games to LSU, Georgia and Florida. I'd hardly think that Bama beating them puts them in ahead of Georgia. First three places aren't changing unless one of them loses.

    Utah might have a chance yet as they will meet Oregon in the PAC 12 championship game. A convincing win there could put them in.

    Obviously Minnesota still have a way in by beating Ohio State.

    If they both fail to impress and one of the top four lose a game then Bama could get in.

    Of course if Georgia get a bad beating from LSU then Bama could get in but I can't see them putting three SEC teams in there.

    I'll be very p1ssed off if it happens but Bama might sneak in with a decent win against Auburn and a few things going their way elsewhere.

    If LSU beats Georgia
    If Oregon beat Utah
    If Oklahoma struggle again or lose to Baylor

    That leaves

    1.LSU
    2. Ohio
    3. Clemson

    4. Bama/Big 10 winner

    If it comes down to a 1 loss Bama to the no1 team in the country or an Oklahoma team that has been all over the place or a Baylor team that we know can't compete at the top level yet. They will go with Bama.

    Other options are

    Georgia, if they beat LSU - LSU and Georgia will get in
    If Utah dominates Oregon they will get in
    If Oklahoma dominates against OK state and Baylor they will get in


    Its going to be a mess!

    Minnesota have a huge game against Wisconsin and with a win they will be top six I think. They then play the Buckeyes in the big ten championship. If that ends up a really close game they could sneak in.

    I think they will have to win out to get in.Georgia ,Alabama and big 12 winner still in the mix for a spot.

    First college game I've watched in over a year, cracking match. Bama just drove the length of the field, on their 3rd 1st and goal (due to penalties) Jones throws a quick pass to Najee Smith which bounces off his back and is returned 100+ yards for a pick 6. Incredible game so far. Bama in trouble.

    Definitely backed the wrong horse today. Michigan-Ohio State was brutal I thought. So had my CFB fill. And I was gonna stay in and watch the Iron Bowl.

    Here's to 6pm tomorrow throwing up a cracker instead for me.

    17-0 Oregon early in the second quarter, if this keeps up then only a really bad loss puts Georgia out I think. Utes don't look good on either side of the ball.
    Well I suppose they might just put the big 12 champion in but I think it has to be a bad loss for Georgia.

    Final score 37-15 Ducks. Utah looked like they were going to get back I to it early in the second half but the Oregon D had a great game and that was the difference.

    I don't think Oklahoma can get in but Baylor can. If they beat the Sooners they avenge their only loss.

    It's very hard to call it. Georgia defense is top notch and LSU offense is as good as I've ever seen in college football.

    Great playoff lineup.

    I'd fancy LSU to take care of Oklahoma - but not as easily as people think.
    I think Clemson will handle Ohio State in the other semi.

    Then an LSU vs Clemson final.

    I'd love to say LSU will win it (as a fan of them and someone who has them backed since preseason at a very nice price), but I think that Clemson might have too much all round.

    Great games ahead.

    I'm not pushed about many of the bowls. I think Bama were shafted too - its a shame they aren't in a NY6 Bowl and the fans are the lesser for it.

    Should be very good games,I think LSU were deserving of the one seed based on the teams they beat,they should have too much for Oklahoma but it should be a high scoring entertaining game.Clemson Ohio state is 50-50 for me,Clemson kinda coming in under the radar will suit them but this Ohio state team is very good in all 3 phases.All in all I fancy lsu to win it in New Orleans which will be a like a home game for them.

    It was pretty evident if it you didn't believe it already about how good this offense is.
    The most points given up all season during regular time by the Bulldogs was 17 points. They gave up 37 to LSU.
    This offense is pretty much unstoppable. On top of that their defense has been improving all season long and look pretty good right now.
    I can't see them being stopped by anybody.

    You have to love Army/Navy game stats. 3 completions from 6 pass attempts and a guy runs for 305 yards.

    Huge Hype around LSU AND Joe in particular on ESPN.... You would think Oklahoma have zero chance. I dunno.... LSU justifiable favourites bit a lot of experience and hurt around they Sooners organisation over recent years, there might be a surprise in store.

    Over/Under of 76 and LSU favoured by 14. Here's hoping the former is hit, and the latter is not. Would like it to be a close one!

    Is there no ‘out of bounds’ rule for receivers in college? Was an unbelievable play anyway.
