Well in that case I'm not a true fan, just a supporter

I do! I think Florida St. Is overrated and Georgia Tech is underrated.
A lot of "ifs" here, but here's my top 6 after Saturday's games. 5 and 6 could go either way.


My playoff projections.

There is ZERO chance FSU misses the playoffs if they beat GT this weekend (as a GT fan though, I hope we beat them).

The #4 spot is the tricky one...TCU certainly deserves to be there up to this point, but their conference championship game is kind of a lame duck game with no real benefit. Baylor plays the most important game in their conference championship but TCU went in and DESTROYED Kansas State, so their argument for #4 would have to be an all out domination of KS...Ohio State has to rely on Baylor faltering or having a close game and going in and decimating Wisconsin (which is no easy task). That #4 spot is going to be a very interesting place to watch this weekend.

And that is given that the other 3 don't screw something up...let's face it...Alabama isn't going to lose to Missouri, so they'll be #1.

FSU vs. GT - Unless FSU has been sand bagging this whole time, GT could certainly beat them...especially since FSU has trouble stopping ground games when they need to (and that's pretty much ALL GT does is wear you out on the ground)

Oregon vs. Arizona - Another great matchup. I haven't watched either of these teams much this season, but being ranked in the top 15 teams means you've done something substantial...and you can't take anything away either team at the right moment.

...this is going to be one hell of a conference championship weekend...I think the only gimme really, which is so historically rare lately, is the SEC championship game, where I think Bama rolls over the tigers.

I agree.

So help me understand this: the winner of the SEC and ACC face off, right? Or is it randomly chosen who face off from all the conference winners?

I'd think they'd be matched up by seeding. Not real sure honestly.

I thought it would be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. But I don't really know. Time will tell. It's probably online somewhere, but I'm lazy.

That's what I was thinking

TCU is now #3. FSU #4.

So FSU V. Bama? I like it! I want to play the best that the SEC has to offer!

Let TCU in so that they get absolutely crushed and people who clamored for them to get in for years can stop crying.

Winston being dethroned is always a good thing!

Just like Boise State...haven't heard about them in a WHILE, lol.

This is an interesting bit of ESPN college football news. 13.5 million viewers watched the Alabama vs Auburn Iron Bowl. That's a record for a regular season game.

I was definitely in that 13.5M viewers lol

Lou makes his predictions. You may have to tap it a time or two to get all his predictions. I could actually understand most of what he said.

Currently watching the PAC12 championship game. I really hope Arizona wins so that if GT beats Florida state, they will end up in the top 4(hopefully).
