TCU and USC both lost their conference championship games yesterday. USC got dominated by 20+ points by Utah. TCU lost in OT to Kansas State.
My prediction after yesterday....
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. TCU
4. Ohio State
They're not going to let a 2 loss USC or Bama in the playoffs.
#1 Georgia vs #4 Ohio State will be a slugfest that a lot of people want to see.
TCU is in only by luck of USC losing. If USC had won yesterday, they'd be in instead.
I can't wait for the conference champion system to start. It's going to be a 12 team playoff with the top 6 highest ranked conference champions and 6 at-large teams. The top 4 will get a bye into the 2nd round while the remaining 8 slug it out for a spot on the bracket. If that was implemented this year, it would likely be...
#1 Georgia (bye)
#2 Michigan (bye)
#3 Clemson (bye)
#4 Utah (bye)
#5 Kansas State vs #12 Penn State
#6 Tulane vs #11 Tennessee
#7 Ohio State vs #10 Alabama
#8 TCU vs #9 USC
Ohio State will get demolished and then ran over by Alabama. Georgia will be tough I think as will Michigan. Utah is a team I always thought could be very dangerous as well
