I dont know if this is the intention of the members of this panel that ranks these teams, but things are laid out very nicely to essentially start this weekend.

It doesnt matter if you are #1 or #4, just that you are top 4.

but the teams outside are now setup to be able to jump in.

AZ would take Oregon out if they beat them. 14 pt Dog, tough call
Ohio St would take FSU spot if they lose
Baylor takes TCU's spot
Mich St at #8.....hmmm? but if 3 of the top 4 teams lose, they would sneak in.

The one I will love to see if Ohio St beats WISC, then AZ Beats Oregon and jumps from #7 to #4 and keeps #5 Ohio St out

And if you are Wisc....you lost to Northwestern! Thats what is keeping you out of the national picture. Ouch babe

So what happens if Alabama loses?

So far it has been a pretty big success. I hope it stays at 4 for a long while, and never goes higher than 8 teams though. I don't really want to be debating who the 16th best team is in the country.

I would like 8.

I would like 8 also, but you are really asking a lot of the teams fan bases to have to travel 3 weeks in a row.

Assuming Ohio St wins think they can get in with Bama or FSU losses.

Basketball does it. Football fans would be even more eager. Get that bus winterized and ready to go!!!!

So a final four without a team from the best conference in the nation?

_________________

I think we are in the final 8 now.

2 SEC teams just happen to be playing each other.

I think Bama will be OK and move on

Bama -14

You are also not packing 80,000 thousand fans in each week for basketball.

They've tried. Jerryworld hosted Final Four right? Fine, let's steal an idea from basketball and play football on an air carrier. Get pushed out of bounds? Fall of the ship.

Yes, and that is over 3 days, not 3 weeks.

Depends if they are the only one of the 4 teams hat lose.

If somebody else loses, then my guess would be that Bama stays ahead of them and gets in.
If nobody else loses but Bama, then my guess is that they would be SOL.

Stadium sellouts are fairly irrelevant to the equation other than in how they create a more televisable atmosphere

That won't happen. Grambling v. Alcorn State pulls more than that when they play at Soldier Field. You will get plenty of local interest for a game of this caliber

I said empty seats, not people in attendance.

There is no scenario where Alabama is not going to be in this playoff.

What if the team dies in a plane crash?

I'm just making sure Dr. Ken has thought his prediction completely through.

_________________

Yes.

Also, I predict they won't die in a plane crash. My predictions are usually spot-on.

If it goes down I will make sure the Alabama fan base knows to blame a guy named Douchebag.

If they lose to MISS and Ohio State, TCU and FSU win....they are out.

I am looking at the Oregon / U of A as its own mini playoff. Winner is in, loser is out

Well there goes my connection to thinking you and Nas are the same person.
