How will we be the 11? Do you think Arizona St will jump us? 

No, my mistake.  I changed it.

Georgia Tech was one play on multiple occasions from beating Georgia....but a Georgia win over Texas in the title game would have given them a bye anyway.  

If a three loss team can get a bye, the new CFP seeding is broken.  I get allowing the top five conference champions in but you shouldn't give four of them automatic byes.  Right now being the 8 or 9 seed is really bad because the winner plays the 1 seed in round 2.

The 5 seed draw isn't bad....you host the 12 and then face the 4 seed who really isn't 4 in the CFP rankings;  it will be Boise State (who is currently 10th) or Arizona State who is somewhere around 15.

Man, Oregon is fast. PSU has their hands full.

Oregon Ducks. QUACK QUACK

Want to wait and see Penn St on offense but really have that feeling the Ducks are going to take them to the woodshed! Still hold judgement but just can't shake that feeling

PSU can’t stay with the Ducks offensively.

Clemson up 7 early in the 1st.

Clemson winning could be an interesting development

PSU has Tom Allen....relax!

14-0 Clemson and we still haven’t hit 10 minutes in the 1Q

Tom Allen’s defense is wearing concrete shoes and running in mud.

Either playing at Tennessee or Texas

Not so fast, my friend.

My guess is Texas doesn't fall below 5 (6 if Oregon loses to Penn State).  IU looks locked in at the 10 (with either Alabama and Arizona State or Clemson and SMU or Clemson and Alabama behind them).   I don't see a scenario where IU is anything but the 10 seed, which means playing the 7.  

As of now, would say the seeds are:

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. SMU (although they are getting skull drug in the first four minutes against Clemson)
4. Boise State
5. Texas
6. Penn State
7. Notre Dame
8. Ohio State
9. Tennessee
10. Indiana
11. Alabama
12. Arizona State

That would have us at Notre Dame.

If Clemson beats SMU, I would expect Clemson to be at 12 and Arizona State to move to 4 as the auto bye and Boise State to move to 3.  At that point it depends on what the committee does with SMU -- but I think the decision isn't whether they stay ahead of IU but rather if they are in over Alabama.  In that case, just put SMU at 11, Alabama out, and Clemson at 12.

The Penn State/Oregon game I expect not to have any ripple effect beyond the first 8 seeds.  If Penn State wins, they would be the 1 seed, Oregon would probably be the 5, Texas the 6.  If Oregon wins, I would expect Penn State to fall to 7 and Notre Dame to move to 6.

So my two cents:  IU at Notre Dame if Penn State beats Oregon, IU at Penn State if Penn State loses to Oregon.

SMU responding. Down 7 now.

14-7 Clemson.   Could be a scorefest.

Oregon is the best team in the country!
