Remember that one time you thought we wouldn't make it?

No

Here you go. Nate's model gives UW a 95% chance of making it if they go undefeated. I won't even get into what that means in relation to a 100-1 bet. But I find it more interesting relative to Notre Dame who has just a 66% chance of making it if they win out.
Does anyone really believe That? ND, ranked #3 could fall out of the top 4 if they win out?

Herbie, I’m not going to go back and forth with you cause I’m tired. I like you cause you aren’t afraid of being dumb. And that’s cool.

You’re actually saying that Wisconsin’s 2017 back end schedule is like ours was in 2015, including giving Wisconsin the chance to play two undefeated top five teams.

Also, I noticed Dantonio called many plays PSU wasn’t thinking of. You were money on that.

Undefeated P5 (and ND) teams get into the CFP. No ifs ands or buts. One loss Champs of the P12, SEC and B1G also get invited.

The rest is just arguing over position. The only way it gets hairy is all P5 Champs are undefeated. I think the most we've ever had is three P5 undefeated Champs in one season.

by Herbie Green Tue Nov 07, 2017 8:34 pm

Wisconsin has Iowa, UM and OSU/MSU. They will more than likely make it if they run that. Nate says 95%. I think it is lower.
Lol, it is the hottest topic on this ESPN playoff show. Pathetic we can't even have a discussion at even ESPN talking head level.

There is no way an undefeated Wisconsin team misses the playoffs.

What if Notre Dame, Clemson, Bama, and Oklahoma win out and Georgia is 12-1?

Herbie, you start this and complain about the level of conversation. Even a mad man would be able to see the irony, but maybe not. You have to understand why some might think you’re kind of dumb. Not because you seek to call me names, that’s cool, and makes the board more fun, but you really don’t see the irony.

It's not who you lose to - it's when you lose.

Hell Wisconsin could lose this weekend and run the table and still get in.

It's about asses in the seats and eyes on the tube and there will always be a seat at the table for a one loss B1G champ

Just like if there is a way to jam ND into the picture they will

I know this has already been talked about, but fuck ND. They should never be in the CP until they join a conference. I don't care if it's a year they're undefeated. Everyone else has to play an extra game . Fuck them.

Predictions? I'm going with:

1. Bama
2. Oklahoma
3. Miami
4. Clemson
5. Wisconsin
6. Auburn
7. Georgia
8. Ohio State

by **Death Roe** Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:05 pm

Miami should be 2

I don't disagree, but I went with what I thought the committee will do.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:31 pm

Kinda thought we'd be closer to 20-21.

by **DWags** Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:32 pm

Wow. We have a shot at a NY6. Holy shit.

by **NigelUno** Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:32 pm

Dang. I'll take 17 at this point.

by **Tim Wakefield** Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:33 pm

When I saw the bottom 5, I thought they dropped us out of it.

I was pretty close. Biggest surprise for me is them having Clemson at #2.

The Georgia and ND losses really made this a lot less interesting. I guess now the only interesting angles are if OSU can weasel their way in for a 3rd time, and if Oklahoma and the Big 12 actually end up screwing themselves out of a playoff spot by adding this unnecessary championship game.

No. I think I would have gladly taken 100-1 if ND beat Miami. I am sorry if you are incapable of understanding that.

I have to say that Kirk Herbstreit ranking stuff during the ball game was a complete embarrassment. Seriously who gives a fuck about this shit? Every time they showed that room with the ranking committee I was like who the fuck are these assholes? Not a single person in there looked like they ever played a season of football in their lives. It was all a bunch of nerds.

Is Condoleeza Rice still on this ranking committee? I thought I saw a black woman in that room but the camera wasn't on her long enough.

Condy is out. Maybe you caught a glimpse of Ty Willingham.
