There goes my Pac-12 opinion.. mostly. USC needs to win out against UCLA, Notre Dame, and likely Oregon/Utah in the championship game. TCU still alive though. I just hope these teams don’t all drop off to set up Ohio State and Michigan both getting in.

Yeah USC is the only hope now for the Pac 12. We could have three undefeated teams at the end of it (Georgia, TCU, Ohio St/Michigan). Tennessee is still the best one loss team out there at the moment. They just don't have any big games left so all the attention is going to go to USC. That might favor USC to get that last spot if they win out with one loss and a conference title.

If TN goes 11-1 and gets left out because some other one loss team won some weak ass conference championship then it’s truly not who the best teams are.
Say what you will, but TN will likely end this season 11-1 with a 14 point road loss to the AP #1 team. How their resume isn’t better than any other 1 loss team or an undefeated TCU team is beyond laughable.
Go Vols 🟠🟠🟠
PS, been a long tough road as a Vols fan but damn does it feel good to be prominent again.

Every conference is weak compared to the SEC. I’ll take the top Pac 12 teams over the top ACC teams.
I wouldn’t take USC over Tennessee though. I don’t see how anyone could jump them at this point. Barring a loss we don’t anticipate from someone, TCU is the deciding factor here for the 4th team.

I’m sure it’ll be interesting and I feel like no matter who they choose there will be scuttlebutt regardless. That said, I’m a biased and still feel like a 1 loss TN team is better than an undefeated TCU. Strength of schedule and offensive production propel them past TCU in my eyes. I also feel like the committee wants the chance to see GA - TN at a neutral site. I feel like most people probably do too. |

You shouldn’t have anything to worry about with TCU.. the OSU/Michigan loser drops out and then that would be the four: UGA, OSU/Michigan winner, TCU, Tennessee. |

I’m sure the loser of OSU/Michigan will still think they’re worth getting in but TN’s strength of schedule blows both of those teams away so I think it’s an easy call. Now I’ve just gotta sit back and make sure TN doesn’t lay an egg in these last two games. |

But I would think that’s purely brand bias.. I think TCU suffers from that too in the opposite direction. If Texas or Oklahoma were undefeated they’d probably be ranked #2 behind Georgia. |

The only way I could see Ohio State getting any type of love with one loss is if maybe Notre Dame beat the eventual Pac 12 champ USC because that would make Ohio States victory over Notre Dame mean more. But I don't think the loser of Michigan/Ohio State should get in.
I have no dog in this fight except for someone who "deserves" to get in, is left out so the expansion happens faster. I think that every conference champ should get in and that's how it should have been from the start with at large teams filling out the field. In the NFL you get 9-7 teams in the playoffs all the time because they won their division. Not there fault there division sucks. Should be the same with college.

There’s certainly a chance this could end up being Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, and Michigan. TCU can certainly lose a game, and USC can easily not even have the opportunity to have a 1-loss debate.

I fully anticipate that if USC does have 1 loss, the media will get completely behind them. And things like "better market" will come up. It's not right but it'll happen.

The only issue is nobody in LA cares about football. USC/UCLA stadiums are empty & Rams/Chargers tend to house more away fans then home fans. |

I don’t think USC is bringing more eyeballs than Ohio State or Michigan currently.

There goes the playoff chance.
Carolina making TN look like a high school team. Embarrassing.

With the Tennessee loss it opens the door for the Ohio State/Michigan loser to get in. I'm seeing some talking heads wondering aloud about Clemson getting in with the potential field being Georgia, Ohio State, USC, Clemson. Pretty much no one expects TCU to win out, but I think they can. They keep finding ways to win and close out games.

The door is open, but they still need help. It never plays out as simple as it sounds as we've already seen with Tennessee, but if teams win out it should be Georgia, OSU/MICH, TCU, and USC. Clemson is hanging in there, although I don't think they're all that good, but if they go 12-1 I'd rather see them instead of OSU/MICH loser.

I get why we slipped back so far in the rankings but it’s annoying to see two teams ranked ahead of us that we beat.
I mean, we embarrassed LSU in their house. But they’re 5 spots ahead.. whatever lol
Vandy looking like they’ve got some fire with the two recent wins. TN better come in mad and mean otherwise this could be an even worse ending to the season.
Curious to see who makes the top 4. I desperately want someone to beat GA. Anyone really. Their fanbase acts like they’ve won the last 75 championships
