College Football Playoff Chaos Scenarios: SEC, Big 12, and Big Ten Conundrums

College Football Playoff Chaos Scenarios

• Chaos is anticipated in the College Football Playoff picture with the release of the rankings, presenting several potential scenarios.
• The discussion focuses on three main "conundrums" that could significantly impact playoff berths.

The Big Ten Conundrum

• 🏈 A scenario is presented where multiple Big Ten teams (Oregon, USC, Washington, Iowa, Michigan) could end up with 9-3 records.
• ⚠️ If Ohio State beats Michigan, it's possible none of these teams would make the playoff, which would be a "disaster of epic PR proportions" for the Big Ten.

The Big 12 Lottery Conundrum

• 🎟️ This scenario explores the possibility of the Big 12 securing three playoff spots.
• 🎯 This could happen if Texas Tech beats Brigham Young, Utah wins out (going 10-2 and likely getting an at-large bid), and either Brigham Young or Cincinnati wins the Big 12 championship game.
• ⚖️ Conversely, the Big 12 could easily become a one-bid league if only one team (e.g., Brigham Young) wins out and others falter.

The SEC Flood Conundrum

• 🌊 This scenario poses a "disaster" for SEC haters, with a potential for numerous SEC teams to have one or two losses.
• 📈 If Texas, Oklahoma, and Vanderbilt all win out, along with other SEC contenders like A&M, Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss, it could lead to half a dozen two-loss SEC teams.
• 🤔 The challenge would be deciding which two-loss SEC teams to leave out, potentially even sparking debate about a three-loss Texas team.
