a ridiculously tough schedule moving forward. They will not be a playoff team. They will be favored in only one remaining game. They may very well lose 6 of their remaining games.
Texas
South Carolina
Ole Miss
Tennessee
Alabama
Missouri
LSU
Miami is a shoe-in. The BIG 10 is so watered down now, that Oregon, Indiana, Michigan, and OSU only have one ranked game. I could see OSU, Oregon and Indiana all make the playoffs again. The SEC will beat each other up and it will be interesting to see if they get 3 or more teams in. I am guessing 4 teams, but it could be even 5.Texas Tech plays no one and will be another playoff team with no business in the tourney. So there is room for ND, if they win out. Georgia Tech and BYU are average teams with easy schedules, so they could sneak in too.

- Again, a one loss SEC team against a top10 team will NOT fall below a 2 loss ND team. You would feel - FoolBear - 1:09pm 10/6/25
