I'd say Georgia's is less valid than Alabama. Bama and Georgia have the same record, Bama won their conference, and Bama beat Georgia head to head.

But that might be the argument for why they should be ranked #5!

IMO, Georgia isn't even in the discussion.

They'll be in the discussion because that's literally the committees job, but I think at the end of the day, I think the four team that get in will be conference champions, and Georgia isn't a conference champion.

oh I’d like to see what Thompson can do. Sometimes situations like getting thrown in the fire you can find a gem.

Kind of like Cardale Jones

I hear you, but I don't think this would be a good/fair test.

Had Oregon had one game to determine if Nix was ready, and that one game was a bowl game against Georgia where Oregon lost 49-3, I think some would be saying "uh, this is not the guy." Going from end of the game, 2nd string defenses against Cal/ASU/Stanford to the 1st string defense of a pissed off Alabama team where Saban had a month to prepare is a big jump I wouldn't wish on anyone.
 
The three undefeateds are in, can't imagine they get left out.

Bama has to be above Georgia, just beat them H2H and won the conference.

Don't see how Bama can be picked over Texas though. Texas won H2H on the road in Bama. Only loss was away from home. Won the conference.

I might even listen to an argument of Ohio State over Bama.

Will be surprised if Texas is not in. They'll be in SEC next season so it's almost like saying a SEC team made it.
 
You kind of have to go with the conference Champions. I don't think there is any other real way to justify anything else at this point.

I agree with @kjironman1. Look at Standford, their band took a literal hit and they never recovered.

More evidence to back my claim that the band means nothing and what matters is the wins and losses.
I again see it was just way too early to enter a Duck thread and speak about anything negative.

I want to win. And there is a chance Nix won't play.

Ty Thompson vs Alabama is not something I want to see.

I think there’s a pretty good chance Nix would play against an SEC opponent. You probably get Ty against anyone else.

Washington has some receivers who will be playing on Sunday, but the Ducks were down one starting CB to injury (Florence) while the other (Jackson) was playing through injury which didn't help the cause.

Not to mention how much time Penix had to throw.
 
Texas is gonna spank dat ass. Won’t be surprised to see Alabama take it all, much as I struggle to say that.

Sounds like Oregon v Georgia is not going to happen.
 
it seemed to be something of a consensus that if Oregon beat Washington, the only way they could get left out was if Bama beat Georgia. The thinking was that the committee would make sure an SEC was in, and putting Bama in meant Texas had to be in. So it would have been undefeated FSU vs 1-loss Oregon for the last spot. And eastern bias would win the day for FSU
 
Bet he is glad he went for it on those 4th downs. Idiotic coaching. Got what they were worth. Can't win in big games.

4. BAMA

Geeze thought this was legit at first...

Don't see any way an FSU undefeated isn't in. Would be shocked if a 1 loss team is in the top 3 actually.

Id think 4 is Texas, then Bama, Georgia, OSU. But I guess any of those four could make it in.
