  So of 10 through 20 who would you have ahead of Auburn? And why?

It is too bad there are only 4 playoff spots. There is no one team far better than any other. IMO the number 1 seed would not be a clear favorite over the number 8 seed. Other years perhaps but not this year.

Both the PAC 12 and SEC champs could have 2 losses. What then? Are both in? Are both out if there are one loss teams available for the spots?

  Well I can't pull for bamr but i'm definitely pulling against State.

Does a two loss SEC champ get in?

Congratulations A&M fans. The Aggies had the better team.

  This will be the only thing going for A&M.   The last team to come to Jordan Hare with a freshman qb went back to Red Stick carrying a 41-7 butt whooping.

This will come down to the LSU dbs vs the bamr receivers AND the LSU oline vs the bamr dline/linebackers.   Home field advantage will tilt this in LSU's favor. Sims production goes way down away from home and bamr as a whole hasn't played well away from home. And you would have to be on the moon to be further away from home when you visit Tiger Stadium.   LSU like 24  bamr say around 16.

I believe Auburn needs State to win out or to lose 2 games. A won loss State team would get in over a one loss Auburn team.   That is should Auburn win out.

    They could have shown Wallace's fumble, the long td catch by Coate's,   OR   Some of those nice looking Auburn cheerleaders.   Anything but that play from that angle.

Gonna be another great Saturday.   I'll be a: Tiger Buckeye Wildcat Sun Devil Sooner Ute Tiger who cares!

  Well that lead photo is certainly uncalled for. Hundreds of photos from the game and they choose that one? Very poor decision.

Impressive maybe but it wasn't dominating. Auburn spotted State a 21 point lead. Then outplayed State 23 to 17 the rest of the way. There was only a 25 yard differential in State's favor in total yardage.   Now if State had led 10-0 after the first qtr and poured it on for a 59 - 0 victory, well that would be dominating. :)

  Beat Auburn-yes. Dominated-no

  I know what you are implying there.

The beauty of it and a reason this has been such an enjoyable season is that, unlike last years' FSU, there is no one team that stands out above the rest. Every top team has a flaw(s) of some kind. Any of the top 12 teams or so is capable of beating any other. And not as a "any given Saturday scenario.' But is truly capable. I could see TCU beating bamr, or Michigan State beating Auburn, or georgia beating Mississippi State.

  But do ya really think ND is one of the two best teams in the country?

  Which win thus far would you say is ND's best?

  What makes you say Arkansas is a bad team? They are a sure td fumbled through the endzone against bamr and a td negated by a holding call against A&M from being 6-2. Two plays. They may not be a good team but i wouldn't characterize them as bad. Mediocre maybe.

FSU's problem is a matter of perception. They created a monster when they steamrolled through the regular season last year. A large portion of that team came back this year. So fans/media expect more of the same from last year But FSU is not stomping opponents this year like last year. Thus they are penalized for that.

  Two more strikes agin him.

  Nah. I"m good. It's just amusing to see bamrfan disparage another team's fanbase.   Even more so now that you are so defensive about my pointing it out.
