Ugh, just awful. Can't see Texas A&M making a game of it in Tuscalloosa .

How about Louisville/NC State?

I'm going with Memphis State (5-1) at Navy (4-1).

Go Navy!

Why Navy? Do they have a woman on the O-line?

Had to go with the Aggies at Bama. Aggies beat Bama once when Manziel played there. That said, lightning probably won't strike twice. Might as well cede the Natty to Bama now.

Nah, just cede the SEC to 'Bama - outside of them it's not a terribly strong conference this year.

I think Michigan and Washington would be interesting matchups for 'Bama. Both can play defense and that would keep the game close. Both will probably have been tested a little more than 'Bama as well. It would be good to have Clemson lose somewhere between now and then - I don't see the ACC having a real legit national title contender this year so I wouldn't mind if Louisville and Clemson are both not in the 4 team playoff.

Alabama has wins over two ranked teams - one by 19 points, one by 39 points. They play another top 10 team this week. And they still will play two more currently ranked teams this year.

That will be FIVE currently ranked teams Alabama plays during the regular season.

Washington has 0 wins over ranked teams. They have 1 game on their remaining schedule against a currently ranked team.

I agree with you on Michigan - but, I don't get your hardon for Washington. How would they be "more tested" than Alabama?

Guess I should have added Texas A&M as well.

CFB puts TAMU in at number 4... ahead of undefeated Washington.

Texas A&M, which has only lost to No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide , was slotted at No. 4 ahead of unbeaten Washington Huskies due to strength of schedule, CFP Selection Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said. Hocutt cited Texas A&M's four wins against teams with .500 or better records, compared to two for Washington, as the reason the Aggies' edged the Huskies.

"Washington is a well-balanced team and they had a good win last week on the road against Utah Utes ," Hocutt said. "But in the committee's mind, Texas A&M has played a stronger schedule."

As long as UDub holds serve and wins the conference title game, they'll be in the playoff.

And unless Alabama slips up big time, A&M won't even be in the SEC title game.
