Let’s start with the most important:
Texas @ Texas A&M
Winner goes to SEC championship
A&M loses: out of playoffs
Texas loses: 8-10 seed, fighting Indiana and Tennessee for that last home playoff game. I think Texas beats them out to get the 8 seed.
Predict Texas beats the Aggies and advances to SEC championship. 🤘
Notre Dame @ USC
Notre Dame wins: Clinch home playoff game
Notre Dame loses: On the bubble (fighting 3 loss SEC team)
Tennessee @ Vanderbilt
Tennessee win: Fighting for the 8 seed. I predict they will be 9th seed.
Purdue @ Indiana:
Indiana should win but by how much. Will be fighting for the 8 seed. I predict they will be 10th seed.
Miami @ Syracuse:
Miami needs win to secure spot in ACC championship.
South Carolina at Clemson:
South Carolina wins: Could set them up as the best 3-loss SEC team and on the bubble fighting for that last at large spot.
California @ SMU:
SMU has already clinched ACC title game spot, but needs to win this game if they want a shot at the last at large spot in the event they lose ACC title game.
Maryland @ Penn St:
Penn St should easily win and clinch home playoff game
Big 12 games:
Houston @ BYU
Kansas St @ Iowa St
Oklahoma St @ Colorado
Arizona St @ Arizona
Arizona St and Iowa St control their destiny to Big 12 title game. If they all lose then there could be a 9 way tie which could send Baylor and Texas Tech to Big 12 title game. 😳
Conference championship week:
SEC: Winner is number 2 seed unless it is Texas A&M which would be 3 seed.
Loser is number 6 seed unless it is Texas A&M which would be out of playoffs.
Big 10: Winner is number 1 seed, loser gets the coveted 5 seed.
ACC: Winner gets 3 seed. Loser is fighting for at large spot.
SMU loses: fighting for last at large spot against 3-loss SEC team.
Miami loses: should get at large spot and maybe even challenge for 8 seed and home playoff game.
Clemson loses: Depends on if they beat South Carolina. If they won then should get at large spot and maybe even challenge for 8 seed and home playoff game. If they lost then out of playoffs.
Big 12: Only winner gets in playoff. If 2-loss team wins I think they get 4 seed, but could still see Boise getting 4 seed, relegating big 12 champion to 12 seed.
Boise St: Controls destiny to group of 5 auto bid.
Could beat out big 12 champion for the bye week.
If they lose, then it could be Army, Tulane or UNLV getting the last auto bid and 12 seed.
My prediction:
1 seed: Ohio st
2 seed: Texas
3 seed: Miami
4 seed: Arizona St
5 seed: Oregon
6 seed: Georgia
7 seed: Penn St
8 seed: Notre Dame
9 seed: Tennessee
10 seed: Indiana
11 seed: SMU
12 seed: Boise St
