2016 CFB Week 9 Open Thread

I don't see Bama, Clemson or Washington losing anymore so our best shot is #4. Since the Big XII is now dead the only thing standing in our way is scUM.

It has been this way for a while now imo.

B12 and ND are out so an undefeated, or 1 loss, winner of the four remaining P5 conferences is in. It's remarkably straightforward unless there are weird upsets in the CCG's.

I've never understood the point of obsessing over scenarios that would slip our team into the playoffs before the team has shown itself competent to compete in the playoffs.


Obviously....I was more or less asking if this was our last good chance at seeing a loss from Clemson. Even if we don't get in (at this point I don't think we should--or could--compete). Quite frankly, I want to see the best 4 teams play. I really hopes Washington "drops the ball" against SC because, personally, I don't think they should be in either.

Not directed at you specifically--this discussion comes up every season, regardless of how well-equipped the team may be to handle it. Personally, I'd infinitely rather not see them go at all than to see them go and lose. The lost NC's of the last decade are not a happy memory for me.

Then again, in 2014, who woudda thunk it? So, speculation may have its merits, even against the odds.
