The payouts for the Big 4 Bowls is $18 mil. per team. For the Title Game, it's another $22 mil. per team.
Based on the fact that TCU jumped over Alabama last week, it is obvious the committee is not going to put two SEC teams in the top 4, unless they absolutely half to. There is too much money at stake.
The question is which of the Big 5 Conferences gets left out.
I predict that Mississippi St. will drop out of the Top 4 completely. TCU will drop out based on their less than impressive win at Kansas. And, Ohio St. will jump up to # 4, based on their road win over a ranked Minnesota team.
CFP Rankings Last Wk:
1 Mississippi St. 9-0
2 Oregon 9-1
3 Florida St. 9-0
4 TCU 8-1
5 Alabama 8-1
6 Arizona St. 8-1
7 Baylor 8-1
8 Ohio St. 8-1
My Prediction For This Wk:
1 Oregon 9-1
2 Florida St. 10-0
3 Alabama 9-1
4 Ohio St. 8-1
5 Baylor 8-1
6 TCU 9-1
7 Mississippi St. 9-1
Semis:
Rose -- Oregon vs. Ohio St.
Sugar -- Alabama vs. Florida St.

So cracks me up.earlier he wants to say fsu last yr was one of the best teams of all time even though they played no one all yr and needed a miracle finish to win the title game. Then he later wants rip the big 10 and PAC 10 because they play no one. (Just like fsu last yr) this guys wants to have it both ways just so he thinks it makes him right. No sence in dealing with him. Oh by the way the way 2 people so far said Osu would be favored over ark. You were wrong about that also.
1 - Bama
2 - Oregon
3 - FSU
4 - TCU
5 - Miss St
6 - Baylor
I can't see how Ohio St or Georgia can be there at the moment. Ohio State is closer but they lost to a bad team and the Minn game wasn't overly impressive. Even though Georgia has had some blowout wins (still humorous how they climbed last week after beating Kentucky), they have two losses to bad teams.

Strawman...
My argument is Florida St whooped the shit out of their weak schedule and showed on the field that they are clearly a very dominant team. And I said if someone showed that in the Pac-12 or Big-10 then they would be #1 like FSU. But if you have a weak ass schedule and you struggle against it or even lose a game against a weak team, you don't deserve to be in the conversation against other teams that play tougher schedules. If you have a weak schedule, prove that it is weak.
This has nothing to do with having it both ways.
The ratings that count are out 'Bama, Oregon, Florida State, Miss. State. Now here is where it gets interesting. TCU still at #5, but a rather shaky #5 at that. Baylor is NOT #6, but #7. Ohio State slips into the 6th spot. The Committee is sending out several messages.
First: You had better play a schedule. Ohio State's schedule is nothing to write home about, but it is still better than Baylor's schedule.
Second: You had better have a CC playoff game. Get the hint Big 12? If TCU loses to Texas, or wins another debacle like they did aainst Kansas, Ohio State is in perfect position to jump them. If Ole Miss defeats Miss. State, Ohio state can easily jump into 4th and the playoffs.
Third: Watch out Florida State. 'Bama, Oregon, Miss. State, and Ohio State have games they should easily win. Do not slip up aaionst Boston College or you are finished. The ACC is the worst conference out there.

to be clear I have no issues at number #4 they are very deserving and should be #4 as long as they beat ole miss they should be in if your only loss is at bama.. but the thing that leaves me scratching my head is everyone discussing osu, tcu, baylor talks about how week osu schedule is but as I just watched on espn their schedule rank is 46th, tcu 49th, baylor 59th.. of the three they have played the tougher schedule. I do believe with out a doubt osu should be in front of tcu and baylor..
what is even a bigger bit of confusion is how TCU is in front of Baylor.. Baylor 61 TCU 58, not only did Baylor beat TCU they crushed KU who TCU sneaked by and they beat W Va by 2 td tcu beats them by 1.. if anyone has a bitch it has to be Baylor..
