The 2019 College Football Thread ! LSU NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ! CLEMSON SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!

How about this scenario:
Oklahoma St wins Bedlam tonight
Next week - OU over Baylor, LSU over Georgia, Oregon over Utah.

You're left with 3 undefeated conference champs and no 1 loss teams. The 2 2-loss conference champs would be OU and Oregon. Or you could go with a different 2 loss team - Bama, Georgia, Penn State?

With Oklahoma beating Ok State yesterday, If LSU beats Georgia, and Ohio State and Clemson win, it’s either Utah or Oklahoma/Baylor winner, you would think.
 
Charlotte going places as soon as they got rid of that goof Lambert
 
So, despite Finebaum's recent campaigning, I think Clemson gets in, even if they lose to Virginia. LSU and tOSU also seem set, win or lose. Georgia needs to beat LSU to make theplayoff. Based on those scenarios, if the top 3 win, I doubt the rankings would change, giving us a final ranking of:

1. tOSU
2. LSU
3. Clemson
4. Team X

I suppose the committee should give LSU more credit for beating Georgia than tOSU beating Wisconsin, but we'll have to see how many style points each gets.

If Georgia wins, and LSU stays in the Top 4, I'm not sure how the rankingswould look, but there probably wouldn't be a Georgia/LSU rematch in the semifinals, so maybe:

1. tOSU
2. Georgia
3. Clemson
4. LSU

I put Georgia at #2 because of whom they will have beaten this year compared to Clemson (insert USC joke - haha), But it obviously doesn't matter. Georgia/Clemson at the Peach Bowl would be pretty crazy.

If Georgia loses, which will apparently cause so many of you unbridled happiness, we're down to Baylor/Oklahoma winner or Utah as the fourth team. Utah obviously needs to beat a devalued Oregon and get style points. Oklahoma needs to show it can play a complete game andget style points. Baylor needs to avenge its only loss and get style points, like they have done since the loss to OU.

BTW, the PAC12CG is on Friday night, the BIG XII CG is Saturday at noon, and the SECCG is on Saturday at 3:30. ACC and B1G are night games.

which team currently leads the nation in style points?

Debatable. Clemson hasn't played much of a schedule, so its ranking must be based 100% on eye test.

Baylor has moved up and down the rankings quickly since the week before their matchup with Oklahoma. 12, 13, 14, 9, 7

Am curious to see how the committee assigns the semi-final sites with Ohio State/LSU/Clemson all closer to Atlanta than Phoenix, and factoring in a very close Georgia if they win. I know they wouldn't put an Ohio State/UGA matchup in Atlanta if Ohio State is the higher seed, but I don't think there is any way that matchup can happen based on the current rankings. If it is Ohio State/Utah or Ohio State/Oklahoma, would they send an LSU/Clemson matchup out to Phoenix? In your scenario, would Ohio State rather play LSU in Atlanta or Phoenix? No chance the committee would send a UGA/Clemson matchup to the Fiesta Bowl, right? Some fascinating scenarios could unfold if we get an upset or two this weekend.
 
It's pretty much widely acknowledged that the #1 team gets to pick their semi-final spot (although the CFP has the final say). Assuming it's Utah, Oklahoma, or Baylor, OSU would definitely pick Atlanta. Would be pretty amusing to see Atlanta get none of Clemson or the SEC. It would be 80+% OSU fans, and make for a lot of interesting interactions with the locals. Hell, my sister lives in Atlanta, so I'll probably go if I can get reasonable tickets.
 
Yeah, I don't know. Also not sure how much influence the #1 team has in venue selection when it's not obvious. Committee would take a lot of heat for sendng a Clemson UGA matchup to Phoenix.

LSU fans are going to go wherever and tOSU has more of a national fanbase. Atlanta would favor LSU if they played tOSU there. LSU/Clemson in Atlanta would be more even.
 
There is no way UGA would leapfrog an undefeated Clemson.

I know you like to dismiss it as some sort of hazing, but the fact that UGA lost (at home) to SCAR, while Clemson boat raced them absolutely matters.

Also, there is no way UVA beats Clemson this weekend as a 4 TD underdog.
 
I do think LSU will leapfrog OSU after handling UGA.

#1 seed is huge this year, both for venue and for matchup against a shitty #4 seed.
 
Fine, whatever. Clemson still plays an easy schedule with no top 25 wins except the one that the committee is handing them this weekend.
 
Could you clarify something for me?

I understand the reason why you put down the Clemson & Ohio State schedules... But they are, to a degree, captive to their conferences. Ironically, the team that was exposed as overrated due to a weak schedule was an SEC school (Alabama)

But do you really think the Clemson and Ohio State aren't really really good? Like at least Top 3 in the country good?

I don't see how any rational college football watcher could argue that LSU/OSU/Clemson aren't the 3 best teams in the country right now. Maybe you aren't making that argument. That's why I am asking.
