Well Oklahoma are not in front on Oregon according to the latest AP poll. Oregon's sole loss against auburn is far better than Oklahoma against K-state.
Still, I have no doubt the loser of the bama/LSU game will get in ahead of Oregon even if they remain at 1 loss winning the Pac-12.
The sooner they go to an 8 team playoff consisting of the 5 power conference winners, the highest ranked group of 5 team plus 2 other wildcards the better.
That would allow all conference winners plus the Boise states of the world a crack every year. The love fest for the SEC could continue with one of the wild cards no doubt perpetually going to them and then that leaves one true wild card.
Definitely agree on the 8 team playoff. I would have liked to have seen the Boise State or UCF teams of recent years get their shot, and the Power 5 champions should all be involved.
That AP poll is... not great. Put Oregon and Oklahoma in a match next week, even in Oregon... is anyone really taking the Ducks? I see they have Florida at 6 also... I've watched them twice and both times they looked like a bad team - perhaps both were before the QB change though? Definitely one (Miami, that f**king game lost me a decent bet), can't remember the other. I guess we'll see on that one next weekend, when the Eastern SEC is decided.
Anyway, I don't really think Oregon or Oklahoma are any realistic shot now. Most likely Bama/LSU/Buckeyes/Clemson, with outside chances of Georgia (if they win the SEC championship) or either Penn State/Minnesota if they can upset Ohio State for the Big Ten championship.
