Utah will only have 2 wins over teams with a winning record. BYU and Washington

Maybe we should lose to UMass and SDSU purposely to make their SOS even worse.

chilango

11/16/19 11:58pm

IF we did it would likely kill Utah's playoff chances. No way they would get in

johnnybyu

11/17/19 12:01am

If Utah wins out and beats Oregon they are in the playoff.

I think they have a shot. But BYU is actually helping them. If BYU had a

Bama won’t get in as the committee will take Tua’s injury into account. Georgia

jazzfan1232

11/17/19 12:22am

If Bama defeats Auburn without Tua they might have a chance to be in

pappabear246

11/17/19 7:20am

Maybe. Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU (if they lose to Georgia), tOSU (if they lose

chilango

11/17/19 12:29am

Alabama and Minnesota are done for. No way they make it in

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 12:33am

Because Bama lost to the #1 team by 5 points. That is crazy talk. They are

johnnybyu

11/17/19 12:35am

Bama has a garbage schedule this year.

jazzfan1232

11/17/19 12:37am

Have you seen utah’s schedule?

chilango

11/17/19 12:39am

Bama has one win vs a team with a winning record. They lost to the only good

jazzfan1232

11/17/19 12:45am

No, they have 2 so far: Texas A&M and Southern Miss. If they beat Auburn, that’s

Agreed but Utah's is worse

johnnybyu

11/17/19 12:40am

Can you imagine the reaction if 3 SEC teams are picked? Not gonna happen.

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 12:55am

Of course its not it will be Clemson, OSU, LSU and either an SEC team or Oklahom

johnnybyu

11/17/19 1:13am

Who’s OSU? Do you mean tOSU? 😜

Pretorian

11/18/19 3:27am

Bama is already ahead of them, so who knows? Minnesota is a long shot for sure,

chilango

11/17/19 12:38am

Tua’s gone and their schedule is garbage. If 2 SEC teams make it in it’ll be LSU and UGA

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 12:55am

I think you’re underestimating the power of the Bama, SEC, and Big Ten brands,

chilango

11/17/19 12:58am

Yep, part of Alabama’s brand is never losing. They lost to LSU and now their starting QB is out.

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 1:20am

Again, you might want to check out what happened in 2017.

chilango

11/17/19 1:21am

Again, there is 0% chance they let in 3 SEC teams and LSU/Georgia are both ahead of Bama

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 1:56am

If LSU beats Georgia, then Bama would be the #2 team in the SEC pecking order

chilango

11/17/19 2:05am

3 SEC teams would be cool if it accelerated the move to 8 teams, I agree. But after losing to LSU,

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 2:49am

No, I’m talking about the 2017 season (Jan. 2018 championship game), when Bama

chilango

11/17/19 2:58am

There were a lot of 1-loss teams at the top that year. This year there are probably 3 undefeated teams.

Mike Honcho

11/17/19 3:42am

It is definitely not that simple

This is the most physical Ute team I've ever seen and they are very good but

If there's any crowding at all with one loss teams, Utah is out b/c SOS will be weighed heavily.

Soupie

11/17/19 12:28am

Oklahoma's ooc is actually worse than Utah thanks to BYU. The big 12 is stronge

johnnybyu

11/17/19 12:30am

OCC might be weak but their conf is better so Big 12 still gets overall advantage on SOS vs PAC.

Soupie

11/17/19 12:33am

if the big 12 is better than the pac its closer than you make it sound

You’re welcome. If you’re mocking me for it, it’s funny you’re doing so

We can’t let that happen

What we would want and reality are two different things.

bluecougar1985

11/17/19 7:46am

Hmm. But take out the 9 losses to Utah

TFL

11/17/19 12:31am

Plus take out the rest of the losses and they are all undefeated and ranked #1

johnnybyu

11/17/19 12:33am

ASU, Cal, Wazzu, and OSU are 5-5 with losses to Utah

Mich. St., Texas Tech, Ole Miss, and Nebraska are all 4-6, and Houston is 3-7.

those wins all came at the hands of 4-5/6 pac 12 teams. But congrats on that

OK, so bad teams beat other bad teams. Not sure what is your point here?

chilango

Yeah, no one would call it a Murderer’s Row, except someone creating a strawman.

Penn State for sure, and arguably Oklahoma now that they beat Baylor on the road

chilango

I agree with that. Oklahoma it’s probably 6s but penn and minn better now.
