With Georgia’s 31-17 win over Tennessee, the 8-2 Vols could also be headed towards the dreaded “first crew out” distinction. I’ll be curious to see whether or not the committee leaves them forward of 8-2 Ole Miss this week. The Rebels have two Prime 25 wins (Georgia and at South Carolina) to Tennessee’s one (Alabama), however in addition they have a foul residence loss to 4-6 Kentucky. I nonetheless assume it will likely be Ole Miss above Tennessee for the final at-large spot.
The wild card is Indiana — if the Hoosiers get blown out this week by Ohio State. Whereas it’s onerous to think about an 11-1 Massive Ten crew getting unnoticed, this one may end the season with out beating a single opponent that finishes above .500. I’m sticking with IU for now as a result of the committee typically believes one loss is healthier than two. (See Texas.)
With BYU struggling its first loss, in opposition to 4-6 Kansas, it’s troublesome to see the Massive 12 getting a second crew within the discipline. Actually, I believe the Massive 12 title recreation can be 10-2 Colorado vs. 10-2 Arizona State. I noticed some recommend Boise State, if it finishes 12-1, might be ranked larger than the Massive 12 champ and get the No. 4 seed. However whoever wins that league goes so as to add at the least one, presumably two Prime 25 wins between now and Dec. 8. Until it’s a three-loss Massive 12 champ, that crew will leapfrog Boise State.
