    Given this committee, I'm not sure that being undefeated will get us a 2 or 3 over a 1 loss SEC team or Michigan/OSU. In fact, I'd bet it won't.

    Can we ever score LESS than our opponents in a game? What if we scored less and still won? Or, is outscoring them really the primary way to beat them?

    I know you're being sarkastic, but in five years, college teams will forfeit ala Bishop Murphy's pussy opponents.

    Consider what happens if two SEC West teams make the playoff. Would the Committee want them to meet in a semifinal rematch?

    UW needs aTm to lose another.

    Not as long as UW wins out.

    If UW doesn't win out we need a lot more than aTm to take another loss.
