Getting down to it...

Herbstreit asked a good question. "Do we want the most deserving or the four best teams?"

Washington and Florida State are both on upset alert. Could throw some chaos into it all.

I would have Georgia in regardless.

Winner of Washington/Oregon.

Michigan, assuming they beat Iowa.

Florida State, assuming they beat UL.  Unless Alabama beats Georgia. 

To me the only 2 real questions this week were how far would Ohio State fall and if Michigan would move up just 1 spot or 2 spots.

Let's say Michigan wins, Washington wins, Texas wins, Florida State wins and Alabama wins. If UGA (12-1) is in regardless as well as Michigan (13-0), Washington (13-0), who gets that last spot? ACC Champ FSU (13-0), Big12 Champ Texas (12-1) or SEC Champ Alabama (12-1)?

I would say Florida State if they had their starting QB.

I know Texas beat them.  But I am tired of watching the Big 12 get mollywhopped every year.

I don't think that's how it would go down, but it's what I would do.

I honestly think it's possible that if Alabama beats Georgia, that UGA falls out and Bama can't get past Texas and they both miss the CFP.

I don't think they're that stupid to leave out the SEC.

Much as I loathe the SEC fans’ collective sense of entitlement, a 1-win loss SEC championship team won’t be left out.

Teams and conferences should be evaluated on an annual basis. Circumstances change, players/coaches change. But if anyone has earned the right to be given automatic qualification into the playoff, the SEC has earned that right. I think of modern era football beginning with the creation of the BCS in the late 90s. Since that point, the SEC has won 15 titles. The next closest is the ACC with 4 (5 if you count Miami, but they were in the Big East when they won).
