DeBoer and Penix only 3 minutes away from being in the CFP

Washington, DeBoer and Penix to the CFP!

I had to quit watching, but my phone just went off with a notification from ESPN calling it an upset. I don't understand all the Washington disrespect, I hope the win the whole d@mn thing!

9.5 point underdogs lol. Not sure what anyone was thinking there. That was charity.

Word.  Congrats to penix and deboer

Penix gets Pac-12 title game MVP. 

Good for him!

Seriously, that’s the committee. It looks like the monthly tenants’ meeting an assisted living facility.

Washington beating Oregon twice is quite the accomplishment. They deserve a little more respect.

Today could create some real chaos for the CFP committee. 

Texas is winning big. Imagine if Michigan, FSU and Alabama win.

For four slots, you'd have ... 

Unbeaten Michigan, Washington and FSU

One-loss Georgia, Texas and Alabama

Georgia would've lost its league title game. Alabama would've beaten top-ranked Georgia. Texas already beat 'Bama. 

Then there's one-loss Ohio State -- but since they're not playing this weekend, I have a hard time seeing them as a factor. 

Would the committee actually leave the SEC out? Or would it leave an unbeaten team out?

It would be neither, right? The 3 unbeatens and Bama. Unless you’re counting UGA as unbeaten, which is fair but complicated. 

I am very ready for 12 teams.

But Texas would have just one loss -- and a win over 'Bama. 

[Alford Bailey]

Texas is out IMO

True. I guess to answer your question, no I can’t see them leaving the SEC out. 

UGA might also just come out and make this all moot lol.

I cannot imagine they'd exclude the SEC, either. 

But if Georgia loses -- Texas would have a helluva argument against 'Bama.

Good argument, but that is meaningless. The NCAA is a wholly owned subsidiary of SEC football. The commitee will do their duty and install a SEC team no matter what.  

They would more likely put in 2 $EC teams if Bama wins and leave out an undefeated team than exclude the $EC

I remember many now (losing track of time meaning more than several years ago) that SMU received the death penalty in football.  At 10-2 that is proof there is always hope…in the American Athletic Conference.

That was about 40 years ago

[Hoosierfan222]

With how Texas looked today, there shouldn’t be a world where they’re out and Bama are in.

if Bama wins and FSU wins, as crazy as it sounds, there shouldn’t be an SEC team in

[TTT]

Jogging my memory…After looking it up February, 1987.  I also thought about 40 years ago. Closer to 37 years.  Coach Ron Meyer and Bobby Collins along with Eric Dickerson and winning SMU was pretty big in earlier and mid 1980’s.  I think what they did was peanuts compared to what is now legalized today.
