Yeah I think the committee is keeping it as vague as possible so that if chaos does happen they don’t face any backlash. Alabama winning creates that, because you have to put them in over Texas who beat them head to head, or leave out Florida state to get them in, or you have to leave out the sec all together.
I just don’t see the upsets happening. Louisville to me just isn’t good enough. If it were Oklahoma and not Oklahoma state then I’d say maybe to Texas losing, but I think okie state gets slammed. Then Georgia I think is still Georgia. They’ll be ready to play and it’s in their back yard. I don’t see bama winning
so I honestly think Sunday is going to be an easy one for them. Florida state if they win, if not, Texas gets in. And whomever doesn’t get in, gets Ohio state in the defacto 5th place I should have gotten in bowl.

Bama won't jump Texas if they both win.
How do you keep Alabama out with a win? They go through SEC undefeated and then beat last year national champion in their conference playoff game. You mean to tell me UGA is in with loss to Alabama and Alabama is out? No freaking way Alabama is out with a win!
Alabama is the key to the entire final 4. If they win, they are in and Georgia has to be on the outside looking in.
If Alabama loses it's simple. Georgia is in.
FSU win and in.
Michigan win and in.
Texas win and in unless Washington wins.
If you end up with 4 13-0 teams they are all in!
An Oregon win doesn't punch their ticket automatically. They need help from another team, most likely Louisville or Oklahoma St.
As I opined earlier, FSU will lose and clear some of the picture up meaning if Georgia, Texas, Michigan and Washington win, they will all be in. If Oregon beats Washington they will most likely be the 4th team instead of Washington.
Finally, I still say Alabama will throw a wrench into the entire process with a win. They are they only team this weekend that can completely upset the rankings with a win because if they somehow beat Georgia (and I see this as an unlikely event) the SEC Champion won't be left out of the final 4!

Agree. If Alabama is the only “upset” of the weekend, that is the nightmare situation for the committee. The sec will not get left out.
If Alabama wins and another team gets upset, then it’s easy for the committee again.
but if Alabama beats Georgia, and Texas and Florida state both win. It’s worst case for the committee. As stated, I don’t think it happens. But Alabama winning is the biggest possible headache because they will leap from 8 to in, and that’s leaping over at least 3 teams.

Bama lost its early game with an unsettled brand new, inexperienced, young QB, now Milroe has established himself strongly and the team has jelled.
If Bama wins a close game Georgia probably still should get in, we all know Vegas would rank them higher than the other playoff teams in play,
If Texas and Oregon win, it would be am abominaion to put Fla St in the playoffs, we all know GA, Texas, OSU, and Oregon are better teams than Fla St, especially with a back up QB. But the committee might put the undefeated Seminoles in to be fair.
Down the road, GA and / or Bama will romp in the playoffs, again.

Milroe has certainly improved as this season progressed. However, it isn't accurate to say that he was "brand new and inexperienced". Milroe was the starter in 2022. He's got great wheels, but even though he has a great arm, his passing accuracy was the problem. That's what he has greatly improved on this season. Texas beat Alabama soundly when they played. The difference in that game was Texas outplaying Bama in the trenches. The game wasn't really close.
Couldn’t disagree more with this take. Alabama was up in the 4th quarter when basically milroe threw back to back interceptions that sealed the game. Texas did dominate upfront, but the game was close with Bama leading into the 4th quarter.
Milroe had made 2 starts prior to the Texas game. Bryce young was the start in 2022. I hope that was a typo. It’s fair to say he was brand new and inexperienced.
Texas won the game, and they have been given credit for winning the game in each and every ranking since then, and they deserve the credit. But the game was far from one sided.
If Bama is the only upset they both will be out. Bana will be left out along with Georgia unless the committee feels like you do and thinks they have to throw in a SEC team
No chance? Lol
They aren't as they shouldn't be
if you understand the computer model ga win or lose is IN they are 1 n have a 100 pt lead they cant fall lower than 4 -so mich n ga are IN So thats 2. Now 3 n 4 would be tex bama fla st n oreg all with one loss-if wash win there IN if nokes lose out if wash loses oreg n bama n tex are up fir grabs but bama i dont think can jump over tex who are ahead in ranking n have beaten bama -ducks win its a toss up tex and ducks -imho maybe bama who lnows, but if ga wins then bama ore texas toss ups
