First time in over 30 years! Football Madness!

Not since 1985 have the #2, #3, and #4 teams all lost on the same day. I watched #3 Clemson lose to Pittsburgh, then later watched #2 Michigan lose to Iowa. #4 Washington lost to #20 USC.

Now that Alabama is the only undefeated top 10 team, we are guaranteed to have several 1-loss teams in the playoff, possibly even a 2-loss team by the time conference championships are over. Who do you think will make it now?

Personally, after watching Louisville play several times this year, I think they match up best against Alabama. But they did lose a close game at Clemson, so I doubt they would leapfrog.

Probably because Louisville's loss (Clemson) looks "better" than Clemson's loss to an unranked Pitt team.

Ohio State's loss to Penn St is looking "better" as Penn St keeps winning.

Personally I think it's all a conspiracy to convince everyone that an 8 team play-off is needed.   :o
