Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted August 5 The Ducks Wire Zach Neel is at it again. An 11-2 finish in the B1G with one regular season loss and a loss in the conference champ game better get you in the PO. If it does not do so, Oregon would be penalized for making the conference champ game and taking a champ game loss. 7 other teams will beat out an 11-2 B1G runner-up for an at-large bid? Come On Man! Zach. Oregon is no longer in the left-behind Pac-12. Oregon is now B1G. Any and every 11-2 B1G and SEC team is a PO lock and likely a top 8-seed host of a 1st-round game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaNoBargain No. 3 Share Posted August 5 (edited) So hard to say how this will unfold as far as number of wins correlating to making the playoff. For all we know the SEC winner could have 3 losses with the increased competition…or maybe it will be the same as always with Alabama and Georgia dominating. Countless scenarios in our new conference as well. Be most curious to see how comfortable teams are with their playoff outlook at 10 wins. The post season outcomes that aren’t involving a playoff birth all pretty much suck btw. How about the scenario where a team (any team) goes 10-2, ranked #10, doesn’t make its conference championship, and doesn’t make the playoff. It is completely possible. #10 and in the Alamo Bowl, yum! Hopefully they’ll be able to get some good matchups of non playoff teams and elevate a few bowls….but something tells me we’ll be getting a depleted #10 from a P2 versus random 8-4 team.
