That if Oregon slips up and we get rolling, there is a pretty simple path to us being the #1 team in the CFP for the entire season leading up to championship week, never losing and being #5 in the playoff? And I'm pretty much here for it.
People don't understand how convoluted this system is.
- Illinois upsets Oregon
- A&M wins out
- LSU wins out after losing to A&M this week
- We take care of Florida and get rolling to finish 11-1
- A&M & LSU would play for the SECC
- We'd most likely be #1 in every poll, including the CFP
- By rule, we can't be #1 in the final 12.
- I'd be fine missing the SECCG. We'd be 5 and host the #12, most likely Boise St. We'd play BYU in the quarters.
