What happens if the following possible [:comeon: I said possible so stans no need to get in your feelings] happens on Saturday?

FSU loss to Georgia Tech: considering how FSU's been playing this isn't improbable at all
Oregon loss to Arizona: Oregon's already loss to them at Oregon this season, they beat them in Arizona last season, this game will be at a neutral
Ohio State loss to Wisconsin: No Barrett, 3rd string QB playing, enough said
Baylor loss to KSU: KSU still ranked 12 with their only losses to a really good TCU team and ok Auburn. This one is the most unlikely

Also add that Arizona and Gtech are pretty much guaranteed a Rose Bowl/ Orange Bowl bid either way so they'd be playing with nothing to lose practically.

Obviously Alabama stays at 1, TCU probably jumps to 2. But who gets the 3 and 4 spots? Would Arizona and Wisconsin lay claim to those?

Bama
TCU
Mississippi St

honestly i still gotta say florida state is the best 1 OR two loss team in the hunt in that scenario, you can't logically tell me Arizona or Wisconsin or ohio belongs over them even with a loss

Florida state or KSU

Idk, you're going to have to make a hard sell in taking a 2 loss Mississippi state over a 2 loss Conference champ Arizona team that took down the current number 2 team TWICE on the road and neutral. I think Zona would def have to get one of those last 2 spots

i won't have to make that hardsell; the 13 randoms in the committe will say they belong.

Arizona lost to USC and UCLA
Miss St. Lost to alabama and ole miss

bama and ole miss > > > > > > > > > USC and UCLA

their wins are comporable because if Arizona beats oregon twice how good is oregon really?

New rankings. Zona is now 7, they probably get in the top 4 if this scenario

I think it's clear after these rankings FSU will not hold their spot if they lose. The committee is doing a serious :ufdup: at them right now

I don't think Oregon loses man. I've faded them so many times and lost lately. I'm gonna say "fukk it" and bet Arizona ATS. Just don't see how Oregon loses. Their defense is suspect, but offensively they're shredding people. If Arizona doesn't turn the ball over and can someone get lucky and get Mariota or someone else to fukk up, they'll be money.

FSU should've lost at least 3-4 times this season but they keep eeking out miracle fukking wins. Can't bet against them on the moneyline, it's just not worth it. Just take GT against the spread. FSU won't lose this game, but the games where the spread is that low, FSU typically comes n/h out and blows the doors off in the second half. I.e. Miami game, Louisville game.

Just don't like this game on a neutral site at GT I would like them, but neutral site makes it scarier to back GT, I'll still back GT ats tho, because why not? I love underdogs.

I think people will overreact to Cardale starting for OSU. Still a good team, as much as I think they're corny, fukk a wisconsin. I think they win. Nothing to beat your dikk to, but I think OSU will win in a fashion good enough for people to respect the victory.

Baylor is a weird fukking team. I actually loved Texas Tech because they are absolute money when you give them a lot of points. For example, last year in the bowl game against ASU Texas tech was a two touchdown dog or I think even 17.5 dog, and they absolutely cooked ASU in that game straight up.

They are an extremely underrated offensive team when they want to be so for a Baylor to barely win like they did, it was no shocking whatsoever. Look at the bowl game against UCF. If you sling the ball against them, you can beat them.

That said, I still I think Baylor wins. I just don't see any huge upsets here imo. Baylor is an explosive offensive team but their secondary gives up explosive plays. Iowa State, Oklahoma State--- two shytty teams that were able to scrape by with covers because Baylor kept giving up explosive plays.

If Baylor jumps on them early, I think they'll cruise, but that's not really a game that attracts me. Just don't see any of these favored teams going down tbh.
