I suspect that this could come back to bite us if we lose. I loathe the CFP - it is a farce, but if we lose, we likely will receive little mercy from the committee.

  - Even worse asthetics would be to lose Sat. and have to face Bama in CFP. A big loss there and... Irish_Demon 5:55pm · 12/18/20
    - Even better asthetics (if we lose) would be to go in as #4 seed and knock Bama off as 20pt dogs. Chrisb 9:18pm · 12/18/20
