College Football pick'em 2017- Gameplay and scoring thread

[Santander]

1. Clemson
2. Auburn
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State

That will be the ranking after the conference championship games.

[Santander]

My best guess as to the final rankings will be: (Bold is the most likely team/seeding)

1. Georgia if they win the SEC Championship/Oklahoma if they win the Big Twelve Championship/Clemson (or Miami (FL)) if they win the ACC Championship.

2. Wisconsin if they win the Big Ten/Oklahoma if they win Big Twelve/Miami(FL) (or Clemson) if they win the ACC/USC if they win the PAC-12.

3. Ohio State if they win the Big Ten/Alabama.

4. Auburn if they win the SEC/Alabama/TCU if they win the Big Twelve/UCF if they win the AAC/USC if they win the PAC-12.

Why would a 2 loss Ohio State be in over a 1 loss Alabama?? Alabama's 1 loss is to the probable SEC Champion and Ohio State's 2 losses are to a very good Oklahoma team and a 31 point beat down by Iowa.

It would be very close. Ohio State has undoubtedly played a harder schedule than Alabama, although the loss to Iowa is definitely a black mark. They're both media and selection committee darlings too, so if there is a 2-loss conference champ (other than Auburn, of course) that could sneak past Bama, it's Ohio State.

8-team playoff makes no sense. There are never 8 teams who could legitimately be considered in contention for being the best team in the country. Often, there aren't even 4 teams who meet that description.

Never watching college football again. Ohio State was robbed.

If NC A+T and Grambling State were FBS schools, maybe I'd think about putting the Celebration Bowl there...but their not. Race had nothing to do with it.

So basically, separate but equal.
