That's possible and probably likely that there will not be 3 undefeated teams, but in the event that they are, do we get in over the sec champ? If that scenario plays out, we could be on the outside looking in.

In the 9 year history of the CFP, there has never been 4 undefeated teams and only twice has there been 3 undefeated teams.

This year has a chance to be the first with 4 undefeated teams with a better chance of having 3 undefeated teams. Teams with 1 loss are most likely fighting for 1 spot and a less likely chance of fighting for 2 spots.

Let's hope they do. IMO, it would be foolish to load the box against Sark. He's going to hurt you with the pass.

 

[North Texas Golfer]

11 of those 12 losses were to higher ranked teams and 5 of the 6 losses at Texas were to higher ranked teams.

But KSU isn't a higher ranked team.

But KSU isn't a higher ranked team.

That's kind of my point. Sark has only lost 1 game in his career when he had the higher ranked team.

NTG once again clarifying stats with reason and logic. Nerds rule!

against a one loss Alabama team no way even if we are that loss, SEC is going to be in it get used to it

I don't know how they will be able to justify putting a one loss Alabama team ahead of us if we have only one loss. Head to head would be the ultimate tiebreaker...

If Michigan emerges from the B10, I could see pushback from voters over the brewing scandal. Hard to put them in the playoff if there are any questionable wins.

We were discussing a similarly scenario today.
Washington runs the table.... They're in
Florida St runs the table... They're in
Mich/OSU winner goes undefeated... They're in
Alabama runs the table and beats Georgia in the CCG; Texas runs the table wins the B12...
Does the committee keep the sec champ out or do they screw Texas over?
It could get interesting. We need a little chaos in the b10 or pac-x

Certainly head-to-head makes this decision

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Certainly head-to-head makes this decision

Normally I would be in agreement, but the committee loves the sec. Would they see Bama's win over Georgia as a better win than us beating Bama?

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Herman was 22-13 at this point. (Made it to Arlington in 2018) . Herman after 3 years 24-13

Sark is 20-13 at the same point..Sark after 3 years? TBD



Next 4 weeks should tell us a lot...
