Say OSU beats UMich in OT in the semis? Why should OSU advance? They already got their butts kicked by UMich. At home! Shouldn't they play a tiiebreaker?
tOSU, USC, Bama, Tennessee, TCU . . . they all have major warts on their resumes. IMO, Bama's warts are the least, losing two road games in two ridiculously tough places to play, by four points on the final plays of the game. Yes, LSU beat them by 1 point. In Baton Rouge. Yes, Tennessee beat them by 3 points. In Knoxville. Bama wins both games easily in Tuscaloosa. And I HATE Bama. Just keeping it real! What I will say next is sacrilege . . . but after Bama, I'd pick USC. They beat everyone except Utah. Utah just happens to be their kryptonite. The first loss was on a two point conversion on the final play of the game. If that conversion failed, I have little doubt that USC would be in the playoffs. The second loss . . . their star QB was obviously injured. I hate USC, but I think they are (barely, because of defensive issues) one of the four best teams.
So if I could vote, it would be:
1. ugag 2. UMich 3. Alabama 4. USC 5. TCU 6. tOSU. 7. Tennessee 8. PSU 9. Utah 10. Brazil 11. Houston Texans
But the truth is . . .
THIS year . . .
they should get rid of the semis and just pit UMich vs ugag. Those are the only two teams who inarguably belong.
