Bama - with a win against Georgia - Clemson - with a win against Pitt - Notre Dame - done playing - are in the playoff. The debate centers on who will be the fourth.
If Georgia beats Alabama, chances are they’d both go to the CFP...Shutting out Oklahoma[if they beat Texas] or Ohio State[when they beat NW]
Oklahoma appears to be in the driver’s seat for the fourth.
I expect Georgia to lose, so they’re out. So it’s down to Oklahoma against #9 Texas or Ohio State against #21 Northwestern. All things being equal, a win over a #9 team should trump a win over a #21 team. But if either one of these wins is a blowout, that could change things.
But that’s why they play the games...
How far does Georgia fall if Alabama only beats them by 14?
