Looking forward to seeing what the CFP committee does. Especially with Florida St. I think Washington's resume is better but in an odd way I think Washington's resume is better than Michigan's given their close win at Maryland. 

I guess it will figure itself out this weekend. Loser of Michigan/Ohio St gets bounced. Loser of eventual Washington/Oregon gets bounced so who gets the nod after Georgia or does one teams win during the regular season outweigh the other 1 loss teams....i.e. Bama, 

How could Bama jump Texas if both win out. If they did, then the whole argument that every regular season game is important goes out the window

The same way Florida St jumped Miami back in the BCS days despite Miami beating Florida St during the regular season. When humans get involved it's not always a black and white call like you stated.

Texas beat Bama. At Alabama.  I'm already hearing it from Bama fans they should be in the playoff, and they need to just stop. Win, don't whine. The funnier thing will be if Bama beats Georgia and the SEC doesn't get a team in the playoff.

If Alabama beats UGA the SEC will get two teams in

ESPN is powerful,  but barring some crazy scenario,  that won't likely happen. Georgia's strength of schedule is atrocious.  Bama lost at home to Texas. The SEC is down in general this season compared to their recent past. If you have an undefeated OSU/Michigan, Washington,  FSU, and 1 loss Texas, do you really believe the SEC would get 2 teams in?

I think there is a possibility/scenario where the SEC gets 2 in.  But I would prefer they get 0 in.

For sure. There is a scenario, but this of all years would be an extremely tough sell. The winner of the OSU/Michigan would need to lose in the B1G title game, Florida State needs to lose, Washington needs to lose, Oregon might need to lose as well, and then Texas.  Alabama would have to win convincingly enough to impress the committee,  but not so much that a 1 loss Georgia with a terrible SOS gets left out over other 1 loss teams. My head hurts just thinking of all that!

Yes I do especially if UM loses because of their schedule

Couldn't help but laugh a little at this. Will Rogers is Mississippi State's dual threat QB. One of the best. Gives an emotional speech about never quitting, fighting back tears, being there for his teammates on and off the field the last 4 years,etc.....and subsequently it's announced he's entering the portal.

That's funny. Crazy world we live in now. I guess with the CV bonus year, some of these kids might view their 4 year commitment fulfilled. Can't blame them for getting paid. Hopefully in his grad season of making bank, Will takes some PR and communication courses!😅

Gameday just listed Mark Stoops from UK as a likely target for Texas A & M. 

I feel like that's a bad fit for both sides.  Part of the reason Stoops recruits well to UK is his family connections to Ohio. A&M will chew him up and spit him out. He'd be a Chevy truck being asked to drive in a Formula One race.  Ask Rich Rodriguez if he wish he'd stayed at West Virginia.
