Meanwhile Kansas St is taking
Meanwhile Kansas St is taking care of business and keeping a pretty good OSU offense to 10 points (7 were from a kick return). Barring an OSU-Iowa St debacle that team should be in the MNC game.

Kansas St vs Notre Dame vs Oregon
Kansas St vs Notre Dame vs Oregon
If they all run the table....scoreboard watching is going to be at all-time high. Previous opponents, especially common oponents records are going to be very important when it comes to the computers! Oregon will stay #2 behind Bama in both human polls and they play 3 ranked teams in the final 4 plus a re-match with a ranked USC in the Pac-12 championship game so not sure how they would not be ranked #2 in the computers as well.
Should be fun....also please Penn State....can you show up and beat Nebraska next week?

NDs best wins would be over
NDs best wins would be over
NDs best wins would be over Oklahoma (who K St also beat on the road) and USC (who Oregon just creamed on the road and would have beaten again in the Rose Bowl). Also, USC would be a 5 loss team. What do they have after that? OT win over Stanford with some questionable officiating at the end (Oregon would have also beaten them)? Michigan at home by one score when we practically handed it to them? BYU?? As tough as their schedule looked to start the year, if Oregon wins out ND won't have a win over a team in the top 15 most likely. Decent wins over Oklahoma, USC, and Stanford would be matched by the other two.
Personally, I think Kansas St. deserves the nod but would guess Oregon would get it due to playing 4 ranked teams in their last 5 games. Then Bama eats the lucky team.

no way
no way
The polls will find a way to put the SEC champ(presumably LSU in this scenario) in the MNC game. Book it. KSU and Oregon would get shutout. We'll see if it comes to that, but if it does, there is no stopping LSU getting in.
edit: if Georgia somehow wins, they will not get in.

This would improve their chances, but...
I have already pretty much accepted that if ND goes undefeated they are in. The only mildly plausible scenario where they wouldn't is if 'Bama and Oregon go undefeated, but still... they have the edge over the Ducks in the computer polls and I'm really convinced that the humans will boost them to at least number 3 in the human polls by the end of the year... meaning they'd pretty much be in...

I'm a little confused by this. I didn't think LSU was that great this year, but maybe they are? Or maybe it really is that hard to play at night in Death Valley? Or is it just that Bama is having their first mediocre game of the season? A couple bad turnovers have really killed them. I can't see them winning this game at all.

ND will lose to USC and it increases the chance Oregon goes to the NC game and the Rose Bowl opponent is easier and last of all it could unseat the SEC with no teams being undefeated.

Well, that was if LSU didn't stumble.
Well, that was if LSU didn't stumble.
Because Bama could still lose the SEC title game if LSU gets a 2nd conference loss. But the Tigers schedule isn't that tough either.

So does a loss here knock Bama out of the MNC game? It would most likely send LSU to the SEC championship game and I can't see them sending Bama to the title game two years in a row when they don't win their own division. And is there anyway a 1 loss LSU team gets in over 3 undefeated teams? Wow, this would screw a lot up.

I think until everyone in the SEC has at least 2 losses, there will always be a case for an SEC team to make the title game. Personally, I'd love to see a KSU Oregon matchup, but the SEC can still play the strength of schedule card.

Can they, though? Who has Bama really beaten this year? LSU and A&M would be their only good wins until the SEC title game. The way that the SEC schedule works now, some of these teams never play most of the other contenders. It hurts their SOS argument.

I think Bama is done. This
I think Bama is done. This
I think Bama is done. This game could be the end of the SEC championship run. My biggest fear is that it puts ND in the title game. They have the easiest path to the end by far and you know the humans will want them in. I also could see Oregon stumbling in the Civil War. And in a one game playoff I don't trust any team over the huge horseshoe that ND is carrying.
It’s too bad it looks like this won’t reach overtime. The way it’s been so back-and-forth, they might each score 100 points.
