Baylor’s ranked 11th. And OU already beat them once AT Baylor. A win at a neutral location against a team they already beat once in a crap conference isn’t gonna do much if anything.

11th is a better ranking than Oregon which is what I said in the post you quoted.
Also, I mentioned Oklahoma State who I also think is ranked. (Not certain if that though)

Like I said, I don’t think Utah has much of a chance unless they beat Oregon by 30.

I just don’t like hair chances either.

I think Auburn needs to beat Bama to have a good shot.

There would definitely still be bitching from 9-12. But I just want more big time games against teams that would never play otherwise.

Imagine a 4v5 matchup of Utah and Bama in SLC. Or a 3 seed Clemson vs OU.

I’ve heard about five different reasons they can’t do this...off the top of my head, I forget them all but the reasons seemed legit.

One was interference with the nfl and maybe nfl playoffs...another was the extension of the season...another was the rotation of historic bowls and the implications this would have with those...and more.

I think you have to ask the question, "is the goal to get the 4 best teams in the playoffs or conference champions?". If it's to get the 4 best teams then Alabama would have an argument to get in ahead of Utah.

Why? Alabama hasn't beaten any ranked teams all season either. If Utah beats Oregon they will at least have that, and the conference championship over Alabama. And the committee left TCU out of the playoff because they didn't have the 13th game to compare with Ohio state a few years back. Alabama won't have that either. I'd argue that Utah played the more difficult schedule compared to Alabama.

I hope you're right, but people are acting like the Iron Bowl is more or less a play in game for Bama, assuming everything else goes chalk. Georgia beating LSU hurts Bama, but in that scenario Georgia and LSU both get in, so no help there.

Auburn beating Bama, and LSU beating Georgia, and Utes are golden (they need to win out of course). In the other scenario where everything goes basically chalk, Bama will be in pre Pac-12 championship. And then the Utes really need to get a national narrative going in their favor while Bama sits at home. Blowing out Oregon would help a ton.

Not worried about OU, I don't see how they would jump the Utes at this point if both win out.

They will. 2 games to close the season against ranked opponents and they will have a potential 3 wins against ranked teams on their resume. If Oklahoma wins out they will pass Utah.

As a Ute fan, I disagree.

Even without Tua, their team has better wins. Tua was important, but Alabama just reloads and are deep.

Which wins? They haven't beat a ranked team. The only wins they'll be able to tout is Auburn if they win and TCU, and Oregon is ranked higher with less losses. Just because Alabama is in the SEC don't let that fool you. Alabama's non conference schedule is 4 teams worse than BYU. Western Carolina, New Mexico State, Duke and Southern Miss.

Alabama has defeated 2 P5 teams with a winning record. Utah has beaten 3.

Alabama just shot themselves in the foot. Utes can move up.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Geaux Tigers....



*And Utes.

 

[Miggs]

Uh oh

 

[Miggs]

I’ll be seriously pissed if the Utes lose.

Yes Georgia could beatbox LSU but it’s not expected, and if they lose and the Utes win out, they should be in the playoff.

That huge dude with the dirty play jumping onto Moss's head. Hope he's ok.

Great season now beat Oregon!
