Actually, Georgia will lose to LSU dropping them out, Oregon will lose to Utah,

and Utah will leap over Oklahoma for beating a highly ranked opponent in Oregon. Utah finishes either 4 or 5 in the voting. The only question is does the committee take Alabama with one loss to LSU and a second string QB, or a one loss Pac 12 champion in Utah? I think their chances are much higher than 8%. it's either them or Alabama.

It's not looking good for Utah.

On the upside, in that poll we're tied for 13th.

BYU also has less than 1% chance of going to the playoff.

Don't worry, they throw themselves a parade.

Utah would be a disaster for the TV partners. Which makes me think it won't

How can Penn State have a higher chance to get to the playoff than the yewts when they will undoubtedly lose to OSU

indocoug

11/22/19 7:10am

Because they control their own destiny. Beat OSU and you’re in

Cougar76

11/22/19 7:14am

Anyone else surprised by how fast Penn State rebounded after their scandal?

BleedCougarBlue2

11/22/19 9:15am

Yeah, that was pretty bad. I thought their program was toast.

Baylor too.

Not if they lose to Wisconsin or Minnesota in the CCG

as much as i dislike ohio state, they will not lose to minnesota or Wisconsin.

oryguncoug

11/22/19 1:39pm

They win out and they go to the playoff, IMO. There is a lot of football left.

Iman23

I think this is probably true, and here’s why:

Corn Pop

11/22/19 7:53am

Probably not though.

Jeff75

11/22/19 8:43am

i think it hinges on how soundly they beat Oregon if they do. If they go out

oryguncoug

11/22/19 9:23am

They need a lot of help

royal_blue

11/22/19 7:14am

Don’t feel sorry for them. Rose bowl.

idacoug

11/22/19 7:21am

That's probably where Oregon will be.

Jeff75

11/22/19 8:45am

No it isn’t but it’s still looking a lot better for them than it is for BYU...

CoachSpeak

11/22/19 7:35am

Curious why so many posts tracking Utah?

Cougstreak

11/22/19 7:44am

Turn off the category if you don't like it.

Jeff75

11/22/19 8:45am

Good idea. I don’t mind it. I just find it entertaining the Utah focus.

Cougstreak

11/22/19 10:05am

That's what you'll get in the Ute Smack category.

Jeff75

11/22/19 10:07am

Yep. I meant how many threads on Utah make “top posts”

Cougstreak

11/22/19 3:19pm

So much more exciting that BYU football right now!

11/22/19 2:40pm

It will be Utah/oregon or Oklahoma. Whoever the committee likes most. Oklahoma

Backcountry

11/22/19 7:45am

Oklahoma has a better resume.

Jeff75

11/22/19 8:45am

Maybe. But they arent demolishing teams like Utah is.

Backcountry

11/22/19 8:53am

That's because they are playing better teams.

Jeff75

11/22/19 8:57am

So do they clearly have a better resume, then?

kos

11/22/19 10:11am

Yes.

Jeff75

11/22/19 10:35am

Oh wow, going against the grain on this one eh? Brave.

Me? For saying he's making a bold move? You're an odd duck, man.

BayUte

11/22/19 11:23am

Read your post, you were obviously offended and tried to use sarcasm to mask it.

CoachSpeak

11/22/19 11:37am

You must be having a bad day and reading that into my comment.

BayUte

11/22/19 11:42am

Oklahoma beat Baylor. That's the difference.

Jeff75

11/22/19 11:44am

Oklahoma beat Baylor, and if it wins its conference will have beaten them twice, not to mention OSU, ISU and Texas.

indocoug

11/22/19 12:26pm

That's a fair argument. I guess a lot depends on where ISU, OSU, and Texas end

kos

11/22/19 12:54pm

But therein lies the problem.

BayUte

11/22/19 1:29pm

I like how you confer some journalists opinions...

CoachSpeak

I simply quoted what a member of the committee said and gave articles as

Unless Georgia Wins out and beats an undefeated LSU, then LSU and Georgia get in

This is worst case scenario for the Utes

311polo

Betting websites have them at 6th highest odds to make playoff

If Penn St. wins this Saturday (which they probably won’t), that keeps the Utes

I'm sure Oregon will be okay with it.

They typically do that in November.

It's easy to look good when you have 8 conference games, 14 teams, Vandy,

If only they'd play real teams like UNI and Idaho State.....

studmuffin85

11/22/19 9:54am

538 has Utah at 25%

TFL

11/22/19 11:33am

I like 8%. 1 in 12 sounds about right. 1 in 4 is way too high.

royal_blue

11/22/19 1:00pm

Cool. We'll let the 538 guys know they screwed it up.

kos

11/22/19 1:15pm

Given that there are 4 teams vying for the last spot, 1 in 4 is about right.

11/22/19 5:22pm

Actually, Georgia will lose to LSU dropping them out, Oregon will lose to Utah,

Nagurski

11/22/19 2:16pm

And winning a conference championship counts for something with the committee.
