LMAO. You’re trying too hard with this, Danny.
Kanell said that UCF would go “toe-to-toe” with this Georgia team, citing UCF’s impressive offense, and how Georgia played against last year’s Oklahoma team in the Rose Bowl.
“You didn’t hear anybody complain about that game, when Georgia gave up over 500 yards of total offense, nobody had a problem with that,” Kanell said. “And Oklahoma almost won with an incredible offense and a sub-par defense. Does that sound familiar? That’s exactly what UCF has.”
… Kanell also added that because UCF is used to giving up points— Temple scored 40 on them— it would be better equipped than Georgia to win a shoot-out.
“They go up-tempo. They’re used to getting scored on, Georgia’s not,” he said. “That game would come down to the wire just the same way the Rose Bowl did.”
UCF has played this season’s 106th ranked strength of schedule, according to Sagarin. Oklahoma’s 2017 SOS? 7th.
When you’re an SEC hammer like Danny, everything looks like a nail.

Me too, but I hope and think you’re wrong about the consequences. Unless a bunch of other stuff happens in the next 15 days, Dec. 1 is an elimination game. And should be. And I want it to be.
If we have to beat those fuckers twice, that will piss me the fuck off mainly because I don’t think we can pull it off. Our best shot is in the dome with perhaps a still hobbled Tua. If we knock them off I want to see Clemson in game 1 and the winner of ND/UM in Cali.
Then we win. That’s the plan. Stop fucking with my plan!

Agree it is an elimination game, and should be. No way the Committee gives you a rematch of week 1 between UM and ND. Lot of water yet to cross for most of these teams, but in a perfect world, we would beat Clemson in the finale, let Clemson take out one Big 14 team, us the other. Oh wait…..forgot, ND is actually in the ACC.

Plot twist: we beat Bama and Michigan loses to Ohio State, but Oklahoma, not Ohio State, secures the 4th playoff spot.

I’m with Derek on this one. It should be an elimination game. If we somehow were to beat Alabama, and if Auburn’s defensive line can manage to hobbleTua a little more I think it’s very possible, I don’t want them to just get in anyway. That both makes the SEC championship irrelevant and just totally cements the precedent that Alabama can kind of just do whatever they want. And I don’t want to have to play them a second time. Plus, beating ND or Michigan for the national title would be glorious.

The following tie-ins exist for bowls in the years they are not hosting the national semifinals:
Rose Bowl — Big Ten #1 vs. Pac-12 #1
Sugar Bowl — SEC #1 vs. Big 12 #1

Cotton Bowl — at-large or “Group of Five” (committee selection)
Fiesta Bowl — at-large or “Group of Five” (committee selection)

So it could happen. If we are SEC #2 and the Orange Bowl takes the Big 10 team, We would likely be in line for the Cotton Bowl?

I think they’re low, actually. If LSU wins out and we win our next two but lose in ATL, does LSU jump us? If yes, then we’re in the Peach Bowl and there’s a small chance we see UCF. If we stay ahead of LSU, we’ll go to the Sugar and there’s 0% chance we play UCF.
I think if UCF wins out, they’ll get sent to the Fiesta since they were in the Peach last year, but you never know with bowl games.

Would the Sugar/Peach rather have the home state team or the team that books hotel rooms ? Butts in the seats aren’t a problem either way. Not sure who determines who is on top, the conference commish ? Both fan bases travel well and we haven’t been to NOLA since 07 season.
