1. Indiana
Most obvious candidate here. Beat the Ducks in Oregon & OSU for the T1e8n title. No brainer

2. Georgia
Won the SEC. Victory over the one team that beat them, plus Ole Miss

3. Texas Tech
Most under the radar title contender. Dominated the 12ish. Only loss came on the road w/o their starting QB on a TD in the last :30

4. Ohio State
Maybe the best defense in the country. Maybe, pound for pound, the most disappointing offense.

5. Oregon
Not sold on these guys. Record might get them a higher seeding than they are actually worthy of.

6. Texas A&M
Being carried by their win @ Notre Dame. Could be in line for an early upset.

7. Ole Miss
Look @ the schedule. Best win is @ Oklahoma. Most suspect out of the SEC teams.

8. Bama
I don't think going 1-1 vs Georgia in Georgia should hurt them. Losing to FSU should.

9. Texas
I don't think much of their chances. But beating Oklahoma, Vandy & TxA&M while losing by a TD to OSU has got to count for something.

10. Miami
A hold my nose pick. Win vs Notre Dame. Beat FSU (that beat Bama), beat Florida (that beat Texas). If we aren't going to hold those loses against Bama & Texas, then it should count in favor to the Canes that they won those games.

11.Tulane
Best from the group of 5

12. James Madison
I heard they get in cause they are ranked higher than dook. Whatever.

Left out

Notre Dame
The games vs the Aggies & Hurricanes turned into elimination games. Different result in either & the Irish are in the playoff & the loser is going bowling

Oklahoma
Texas & Ole Miss were their elimination games. A reverse result in either.......Win vs Bama was tough to manage around & Sooner fans would have reason to complain. But the SEC conference schedule is to erratic to evaluate. You get A&M & Ole Miss who gets a gaudy record vs a weak slate. Then OU, Bama, & Texas who play a higher class of opponent during the season. You might as well draw names from a hat & get just as credible a ranking.

Vanderbilt
Two games they played vs a potential playoff team weren't really close if you watched them.

BYU
Dominated in the 2 games vs Texas Tech 63-14. Proves they weren't at this level.
