One playoff possibility for Ga.

A win over Notre Dame or Indiana in the sUGAr could send us to the Cotton Bowl for the semis. Here is why: Texas will likely beat Clemson in Austin, and then beat Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Assuming the Ducks wins their quarterfinal bowl against OSU/Tenn winner, there is no way Oregon will give Texas a home game in Dallas for the semi-finals, so they are off to the Orange Bowl, leaving us to play Penn State (likely opponent) in Jerry World. Win that one, we head back home to play Oregon....or Texas part 3 for the natty. Of course one upset changes all of this completely.

If Colbie Young is back for the playoff…

It might be massive for the offense. The word all year has been that Dillon Bell has been playing out of position and is not a true X. Colbie Young and Arian on the outside and Dillon Bell and/or London to the slot. If Bobo can draw it up and Gunner can execute, there might be a new dynamic that we haven’t seen the vast majority of the season.

UPDATE OK. I’ve heard back from Brett Daniels of the CFP. Here’s what he said about who goes to Miami and who goes to Dallas

Correct, all game sites were assigned by the committee during yesterday's meeting. As the No. 1 seed, Oregon was selected for the Cotton Bowl route because of geographic proximity.

Hey Brett

Good to chat with you again.
Quick clarification please.
As far as the semifinals at the Cotton and Orange Bowl go, the winner of the Sugar Bowl and Fiesta meet in the Orange, with the Rose and Peach in the Cotton, correct?
There is no rule where the top-remaining seed gets to choose where it plays?
Just doublechecking.

Thanks

Listened to a Bama pod and man are they in meltdown mode....

Some things I heard:

"We just need to stop scheduling programs like Wisconsin if they aren't gonna respect that."

"If ESPN is gonna defend that trash, then you're gonna stop getting Georgia/Clemson, Texas/Michigan, Bama/Wisconsin, games."

"Oklahoma is a historically great program."

"Vandy was a really good team this year."

"S. Florida is not some program you just show up and beat. Look at SMU's OOC schedule."

For reference, Bama's OOC schedule was W. Kentucky, S. Florida, Wisconsin and Mercer.

SMU's was TCU, BYU (two P4 teams, both historically decent football programs) Houston Christian and Nevada.

NonDawg Two Programs could be first to complete their NY6 Card

No program has won all six New Years 6 bowl games in their history. Two schools will have the chance to do so this season:

Tennessee lacks only the Rose Bowl and will face off with Oregon if they beat Ohio State.
Texas lacks only the Peach Bowl and will face off with Arizona State if they beat Clemson

For the rest of the field, here's what they would need:

Georgia- Fiesta
Clemson- Rose
Arizona State- Peach, Orange, Cotton, Sugar, Fiesta
Ohio State - Peach
Oregon- Peach, Cotton, Orange, Sugar
SMU- Peach, Rose, Orange, Sugar
Penn State- Peach
Boise State- Peach, Rose, Cotton, Orange, Sugar

Notre Dame- Peach

[most common missing trophy is the Peach Bowl, needed by 7 of the above teams. Georgia has won 2 of the last 4 Peach Bowls]

Only one team enters having never won a New Years 6 Game:

Indiana
