Happy Veterans Day. Rocky Bleier: Vietnam Veteran, 4x Super Bowl Champion.
To be honest, it doesn’t look good for Alabama. This may be the first time Alabama misses the playoffs. They can’t make it unless 1 of the scenarios occur.
TCU must win vs Oklahoma
Ohio State must win vs Wisconsin
In case your wondering, the SEC Championship (Auburn vs Georgia) doesn’t matter to Alabama. Whoever wins that game goes to the playoffs, and their is nothing anyone can do about it.
If all of the scenarios occur and Auburn, USC and Miami win (Miami plays Clemson in their conference championship) (USC plays Washington in their conference championship), the playoffs should look something like this.
1. Auburn 11-2
2. Miami 11-1
3. Alabama 11-1
4. USC 11-2
If all of the scenarios occur and Georgia, Washington, and Clemson win, the playoffs should look something like this.
1. Georgia 12-1
2. Clemson 11-1
3. Alabama 11-1
4. Washington 11-2
If none of the scenarios occur and Auburn, USC, and Clemson win, the playoffs should look something like this.
1. Clemson 12-1
2. Oklahoma 12-1
3. Wisconsin 13-0
4. Auburn 11-2
As you can see, even if USC wins their game, they won’t make the playoffs if none of the scenarios occur. Alabama also can’t make the playoffs if none of the scenarios occur.
What would happen if only Ohio State vs Wisconsin went in Alabama’s favor and Auburn and Clemson won?
1. Clemson 12-1
2. Oklahoma 12-1
3. Auburn 11-2
4. Alabama 11-1
What would happen if only TCU vs Oklahoma went in Alabama’s favor and Auburn and
Clemson won?
1. Clemson 12-1
2. Wisconsin 13-0
3. Auburn 11-2
4. Alabama 11-1
I think that Ohio State can beat Wisconsin. However, I don’t think that TCU can win vs Oklahoma.
Here’s my prediction. Ohio State beats Wisconsin but TCU doesn’t win against Oklahoma. I also think that Clemson and Auburn will win.
1. Clemson 12-1
2. Auburn 11-2
3. Oklahoma 12-1
4. Alabama 11-1
Alabama wins vs Clemson 41-18. Auburn wins vs Oklahoma 45-35
Iron Bowl rematch, Alabama vs Auburn, in the National Championship. Alabama wins vs Auburn 38-34.
