Probably closer to 4...they will try to drag this thing out to get the most advertising $$$

Probably closer to 4...

As I recall, last year one of the social media people at ESPN screwed up and posted the four playoff teams earlier than scheduled so everyone knew early.

As I read this schedule ... starting at four they'll be discussing the New Years Six games. So, we'll "know" before the four teams are officially announced which I read to be 8:30.

The last of this show is going to be anti-climatic in my eyes. I am interested to see who gets the NY6 invites ... IE: Auburn and Florida end the season with the same record but last week Auburn was ranked ahead of Florida. Should the Gators move up and get the nod for the Sugar Bowl?

Brett McMurphy had Michigan and Louisville in the Orange. I'd watch that with no clue which coach I want to lose the most ... leaning toward Harbaugh.

Just read this opinion~

• 
  The more things change the more they stay the same. The bowl system was scrapped because the national championship was based on human opinions. The BCS was deemed to be better because a computer was inserted into the mix. Now we are back to square one. with a committee of human input making the decision. It's ironic that the same people who insisted on change are going to be burned by their own invention. Everyone in the southeast should just sit back and smile about this.

Nothing wrong with this format and nothing is broke. How in the world will we ever have a 4 team selection process and not have controversy about the 4th spot at the very least? Always have, always will.

Wow, interesting they put Ohio state in. I didn't think they would after Penn State winning last night.

 

[alabamajack]

Feel like we have a very favorable matchup. we have too much speed on the defense and I think our o-line has a big advantage over their dline.

Been a while since we've played Washington.

I was thinking the same thing. I won't go into the details, but it seems like they have been wanting to set up a Bama/Ohio State final. We'll need to beat Washington, and they will need to beat Clemson. But at the end of the day, even though I don't think OSU deserves to be in the top 4, I relish the chance at some payback!
