    I should have been a bookie in Vegas.....

    Current Vegas odds for CFP My score predictions:

    Bama -8.5 vs Clemson Bama 42 Clem 28 14 points
    Bama -14 vs Mich Bama 31 Mich 17 14 points
    Bama -20.5 vs ND Bama 38 ND 10 28 points

    Bama -13.5 vs UGA for SEC Title game Bama 42 Ga 14 28 points

    Got the Michigan line spot on and I'm a little pro Bama on the others especially the Georgia line but I'm not that far off.

    So I'm wondering what impressed them most about Penn St. the three losses or the overtime win vs Appy St.

    No surprise

    1. Alabama
    2. Clemson
    3. Notre Dame
    4. Michigan
    5. UGA
    6. OU
    7. LSU

    What are the chances 1 through 6 win out? Well either 1 or 6 is going to lose that's for sure. Close loss by Alabama in SEC game will cause some issues that's for sure. If Mich loses to Ohio State the weekend before that will make things very interesting.

    T - you're part of the conspiracy! Why'd you stop at #7??? :twisted:

    Actually surprised to see Wazzu stay pat at #8 after their lackluster performance against an overmatched Cal squad. Of course, it was PAC12 After Dark, so maybe the CFP committee knows how wacky those games can get.

    Disappointed the puppies made it in at #25.

    Terry, I think you meant either 1 or 5 is going to lose. Alabama (1) will be playing Georgia (5) in the SECCG. :)

    Georgia gets beat by three TDS in Atlanta = no SEC controversy.

    Only question I have is can ND hold up and win out?

    Clemson is a lock....

    Michigan is looking very very good.

    Yeah I meant 1 and 5...SEC Champ Game.

    I think most feel that ND will have a hard time winning out not because the schedule is so daunting but that the pressure to win out or drop out of the CFP will get to them. Greg McElroy said both Syracuse and USC are teams that could beat the Irish, they will come out playing free and loose with nothing to lose and a lot to gain, said that those games will be a lot of pressure on ND though so he doesn't think we can beat them both.

    That's right! I just remember it was a vertical running game that shoved the ball right down their throats.
