"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
The first poll seems reasonable enough. Not sure about Texas A&M but it's splitting hairs. Washington has had an easy schedule. The win over Stanford seemed big at the time and then Stanford lost again the following week. Scoring 70 against Oregon is good but the Ducks are down this year. Their win against Utah was their only big win. Now, having said all that, if they remain unbeaten I suspect they will end up in the top 4. I think Ohio State and Louisville would be tougher opponents than Texas A&M or U-dub at this point though. Long way to go still....
Does anyone see Wisconsin even having a chance to make the playoffs as a two loss team? Should I stop dreaming now and just forget about it? Let's assume Nebraska falls to OSU on the road (17 pt dogs) and Bucky wins their final four BIG10 games (they should be favored in all four). This would set up a rematch vs likely the winner of the Michigan-OSU game in the conference championship game. They go out and win that game. A two loss team in the playoffs? They sure would be battle tested. If only they had held on and won the Ohio State game.
I'm expecting to get hit with a rash of LOLs here.

Yes, I believe a 2-loss Big Ten Champion Wisconsin would be in. They would have some very nice wins. It might be helpful to have Ohio State beat Michigan so there isn't a 12-1 Michigan to consider. But I have to think the Big Ten champion gets a spot.
The wild card could be if Auburn beats Alabama and wins the west and the SEC. If Clemson and Washington both run the table, you have a pool of Auburn (2 loss SEC champ), Wiscconsin (2 loss Big 10 champ) and Alabama (11-1). Pick 2.

I don't think its hard to imagine at all. If Alabama, Clemson and Washington all win their conferences. And assuming there are no more major upsets, that last spot goes to:
a) A 1 loss, non-champion Louisville
b) A 1 loss, non-champion Texas A&M
c) A 2 loss, Big 12 Champion Oklahoma
d) A 2 loss, Big 10 Champion Wisconsin.
The committee has said it will give weight to conference champions. So I think a choice between Wisconsin and Oklahoma goes to Wisconsin who will have just beaten Michigan or Ohio State in the Championship game. And while Louisville's loss is a "quality loss" its best win is going to be over a 3-4 loss FSU team. A&M could be more tricky, because that Auburn win looks better by the week and assuming they beat LSU they will have a great resume, but I can't see the Big Ten champion being left out. Especially considering that LSU win Wisconsin will have.
Here is where it may get tricky: Say Michigan loses to Iowa & Ohio State. Ohio State would have won a 3-way tie-breaker, but will lose a tie-breaker with only Penn State. If we end up with a Wisconsin-Penn State Big 10 championship game, that may not be enough to get Wisconsin in over Texas A&M in my above scenario.

They are a dime a dozen to me. It's why we had so many worthless new years day bowl games in the old system with low ranked Pitt and other such conference champions had automatic bids. It should be the four best teams. I would much rather see Louisville than Wisconsin. Bottom line though I think Ohio State will win the Big 10 so this is all moot.
I think a one loss Texas A&M gets in it that senerio unless Wisconsin beats Ohio State or Michigan 59-0 in the Big Ten Championship Game.

The fate of Washington should hinge on their performance against Washington State, which currently looms as a pretty good matchup, and then potentially the Pac-12 title game. They actually seem to have the best available path to a top 4 ranking assuming all of their remaining opponents play to their current standards.

As of now in Vegas Alabama would be favored by over a touchdown against any team in the country. Alabama would be an 8.5-point favorite over Michigan and by 10 over Ohio State, according to Golden Nugget. ( and FYI no one cares what happened in 2014).]
Golden Nugget has Michigan favored by four in a matchup against Clemson, although Pregame.com said bettors think the matchup should be around a “pick’em.”

I don't think we are going to see this put to the test, but I still believe that a 2-loss Big Ten champ is in over a 1-loss Texas A&M. Now Alabama losing to Auburn, going 11-1 while Auburn wins the SEC is a different story. An 11-1 non-SEC champion Alabama would get in before a 2-loss Big Ten champion.

Washington has USC next week, WSU later and a possible conference championship game.
Clemson has a conference championship game and that's it for them. Watson hurt his shoulder yesterday, don't know how bad though. Alabama has to beat Miss. State and Auburn and a possible conference championship game. Michigan and OSU, enough said.
btw....both the OSU/Nebraska and Bama/LSU games aired at the same time. I wonder what the ratings were?
Nebraska was suspect coming into the OSU game. They had quite literally not beaten anybody of consequence this year. They left with a broken QB and broken spirit.

I hadn't looked at Washington's schedule but that's three tough games. U$C is playing much better, Washington state has been on a roll, and then the championship game which could be U$C again or Colorado who is way better than I thought they were. I could easily see Washington losing at least one of those.

I know there's still a way to go and a lot can happen, but right now it looks like SEC - ACC - Big 10 - PAC 12 will be the representative conferences this year in the playoffs. the Team order may change from what they are now but probably not the conferences.
I wonder what the odds right now are on Alabama vs. Michigan??? five weeks ago I would have thought that OSU would beat Michigan but right now I'm not so certain, it is a game that not many will want to miss.

As of today that's true but if Clemson or Washington lose a game and Ohio State beats Michigan there could be some issues. 1 loss Washington or 1 loss Michigan? I have to imagine Michigan gets the nod unless Washington loses a game but then wins the Pac 12 championship in which case Washington probably would. Plus what if Clemson loses a game!? Still a ton of possibilities of how things could go and a high probability that at least one team will feel they got a raw deal in ending up 5th.

Yah, who knows on the Michigan-OSU game. I have no feeling so far.
I did some interesting reading over the weekend. Many feel that a one loss Alabama ( lose to Auburn ) or a one loss Michigan team ( loss to OSU) could end up making the playoffs to join an/or Auburn/OSU team that wins the Conference Championship Game. That idea was floated after the commiteee hd a one loss SEC team in its initial Top 4 to join Alabama. They felt the Committee might be telegraphing the possibility. I wouldn't count on but it makes for interesting convo.

Mark, I don't think that multiple Conference Teams is a reality barring some unforeseen "perfect storm" sort of scenario, my feeling is that's the way the whole thing is set-up --- four slots and four conferences. come to think of it, that may be one reason why the whole thing isn't expanded for eight Teams: they're afraid of a year when there might be three Teams from the SEC, Big 10, etc.
for that reason I don't see how a one-loss Alabama doesn't get in. a one loss Michigan, yes, but not a one loss Alabama. also, I think Louisville is the Team that will slide in like OSU did when they won the Championship. as long as they win out they only need Teams ahead to lose a game.
If Clemson doesn't lose twice in league play then Louisville gets shut out. They play in the same division and can't meet in the ACC Championship Game. OSU got in on the strength of their waxing of Wisconsin in the BIG TEN Chamionship game. No probable chance for Louisville to impress. The odds of two ACC teams making it seems remote although possible. Louisville doesn't have a tough game left on their schedule. They probably need a 2 loss Michigan AND a two loss Ohio State to get in. They already have a two loss Penn State and Wisconsin
If Michigan loses to OSU they willl likely fall to #4 or #5.
If Alabama loses to Auburn they would probably fall to #2, #3 or #4.
All that goes out the window if Michigan or Alabama slips up before grudge weekend.
The Big Ten east could easily have a three way tie at 8-1. Michigan, OSU and Penn St.
With OSU beating Michigan, Michigan beating PSU and PSU beating OSU.
BUT tons of football to be played

College football is much better when the Big 10 is relevant. The SEC and Big 10 are close, but I think the Big 10 has the edge so far this season. Michigan St. and Iowa are down this year, but Penn St., Minnesota, and Nebraska are having good seasons. These 3 teams are really helping the quality of the Big 10 as a whole.

Alabama clinched the West Division with a little help from Georgia. Way to go Bulldogs, Coach Kirby and #2, Mo Smith, well done !! Oh my, down goes Clemson, down goes Clemson.
Ohio State needs Michigan to win if they want to get to the Big Ten Championship. OSU would lose a two way tie to PSU.

Let's assume Nebraska falls to OSU on the road (17 pt dogs) and Bucky wins their final four BIG10 games (they should be favored in all four).

I have to imagine Michigan gets the nod unless Washington loses a game but then wins the Pac 12 championship in which case Washington probably would. Plus what if Clemson loses a game!? Still a ton of possibilities of how things could go and a high probability that at least one team will feel they got a raw deal in ending up 5th.
Yah, who knows on the Michigan-OSU game. I have no feeling so far.
I did some interesting reading over the weekend. Many feel that a one loss Alabama ( lose to Auburn ) or a one loss Michigan team ( loss to OSU) could end up making the playoffs to join an/or Auburn/OSU team that wins the Conference Championship Game. That idea was floated after the commiteee hd a one loss SEC team in its initial Top 4 to join Alabama. They felt the Committee might be telegraphing the possibility. I wouldn't count on but it makes for interesting convo.

Mark, I don't think that multiple Conference Teams is a reality barring some unforeseen "perfect storm" sort of scenario, my feeling is that's the way the whole thing is set-up --- four slots and four conferences. come to think of it, that may be one reason why the whole thing isn't expanded for eight Teams: they're afraid of a year when there might be three Teams from the SEC, Big 10, etc.
for that reason I don't see how a one-loss Alabama doesn't get in. a one loss Michigan, yes, but not a one loss Alabama. also, I think Louisville is the Team that will slide in like OSU did when they won the Championship. as long as they win out they only need Teams ahead to lose a game.
If Clemson doesn't lose twice in league play then Louisville gets shut out. They play in the same division and can't meet in the ACC Championship Game. OSU got in on the strength of their waxing of Wisconsin in the BIG TEN Chamionship game. No probable chance for Louisville to impress. The odds of two ACC teams making it seems remote although possible. Louisville doesn't have a tough game left on their schedule. They probably need a 2 loss Michigan AND a two loss Ohio State to get in. They already have a two loss Penn State and Wisconsin
If Michigan loses to OSU they willl likely fall to #4 or #5.
If Alabama loses to Auburn they would probably fall to #2, #3 or #4.
All that goes out the window if Michigan or Alabama slips up before grudge weekend.
The Big Ten east could easily have a three way tie at 8-1. Michigan, OSU and Penn St.
With OSU beating Michigan, Michigan beating PSU and PSU beating OSU.
BUT tons of football to be played

I like the list. It's a toss up at this point between Wash, OSU, and Louisville for 4 through 6. I also think A&M could be lower after their loss.

Interesting looking at the Top 25
The ACC, Big Ten and SEC have five teams each.
The Big 12 and PAC 10 have four teams each.

College football is much better when the Big 10 is relevant. The SEC and Big 10 are close, but I think the Big 10 has the edge so far this season. Michigan St. and Iowa are down this year, but Penn St., Minnesota, and Nebraska are having good seasons. These 3 teams are really helping the quality of the Big 10 as a whole.

Don't forget Wisconsin, they beat LSU.
Alabama clinched the West Division with a little help from Georgia. Way to go Bulldogs, Coach Kirby and #2, Mo Smith, well done !! Oh my, down goes Clemson, down goes Clemson.
Will the committee put Louisville ahead of Clemson?

This spices things up a bit.

Ohio State needs Michigan to win if they want to get to the Big Ten Championship. OSU would lose a two way tie to PSU.
