POLL: Who gets the final playoff spot? Alabama vs Utah

BYU Fan

After listening to those ESPN guys during the USU/BYU game, it's gotta be Bama.

Agreed but USC is not a nobody - they may not be great but they aren't a nobody

BYU Fan

11/13/19 9:52am

Unranked = "nobody". USC's name recognition won't help Utah.

Eddie

If USC, Wash and BYU win out 2 of them will be ranked.

I don't see how either UW or USC get ranked, let alone both....or BYU

And yet NONE of those three will be as highly ranked as LSU.

Eddie

How is this even a question? At that point, Alabama will have beaten Auburn on

Not to mention Utah has had one of the weakest schedules in the Pac-12. SOS will drag Utah down.

1 win vs a ranked team and should have lost by double digits at home

The "eye test" is why Utah is above Minnesota right now

BYU Fan

11/13/19 10:40am

Minnesota is still being punished for squeaking by a weak early schedule

Medute

11/13/19 11:25am

And if not for a similar brainfart at the end of the half, 'Bama might have won.

Byron McNertney

11/13/19 10:57am

Yep, why play a season at all. Bama has the best talent

Medute

11/13/19 11:28am

Utah's resume is also weak

BYU Fan

11/13/19 11:48am

In this scenario, I am giving Utah a hypothetical CCG win over Oregon

Medute

11/13/19 3:40pm

Utah will have an argument, I just wouldn't pick them

BYU Fan

11/13/19 3:51pm

I think what you left out is Conference Champion

Medute

11/13/19 4:21pm

But it hasn’t historically

BYU Fan

11/13/19 4:41pm

Penn State didn’t win the CCG that year

Medute

11/13/19 4:45pm

Yes they did. Not all Conference championships are equal.

Byron McNertney

11/13/19 4:53pm

I stand corrected

Medute

11/13/19 5:24pm

Extraordinary circumstances are things like are you Ohio State or Alabama

BYU Fan

11/13/19 5:02pm

The CFP committee has used the "eye test" before and will use it again

Doogal McCougar

11/13/19 11:17am

Screw regular season and schedule strength, let’s just rematch Bama and LSU

Medute

11/13/19 11:29am

Zactly

Bama lost barely to #1 LSU. Utes lost to mediocre USC team. Bama gets the nod.
