What I am interested in tonight is seeing what the committee does with Alabama. So far this year the committee has basically told Florida that we don't care if you lost in competitive and close games to two teams in the Top 4...you didn't win. Now with Bama having no ranked wins and losing to both LSU and Auburn, I don't want the committee to turn around tonight and say well "Alabama only lost by [insert score], this many points so they should be ranked up there.

If the committee is doing their job, tonight they will have Alabama below Florida. If not than all they are doing is looking at talent composite and recruiting rankings and saying well they appear to be more talented so they're above them....which would explain why Bama stayed at #5 after losing to LSU.

With all of this said; I'd rather go to the orange and keep UGA out of the playoffs

Yep its crazy reading many of the talking heads acting like Bama should be placed over us when they don't even have one good win. It wouldn't surprise me if Wisconsin was temporarily placed over us.

there job is to take in wins, but also if the two teams met on a neutral field which one would win. The question on a neutral field if UF played this Bama team how many wins out of ten do you believe UF would have?

The coaches and writers have us at 7, CBS poll has the Gators at 8, a nd the CFP has us at 11! In the CFP, tide stays at 5 and gophers moves up 2 with a loss and the bears jumps us . IMHO, unbelievable!

Those are last week's CFP rankings you're looking at. This week's won't be released until tonight. Day drinking is awesome, though, so keep it up.

You can't base the rankings on what Vegas experts think. Bama's resume is simply not equal to the Gators this season.

That is how they are supposed to thought, it's not completely about resume, but putting the best teams based on all factors including the eye test. Not saying it is right, just saying what the committee is supposed to be doing.

Bammer is 12 and we jumped Pedo U to #9. The crock is Wisky jumped us for beating Mini, who they dropped all the way to 18.....

Being ahead of bammer and Pedo was the key. Even with Wisky jumping us, because they'll get pounded next week, we're pretty much guaranteed a NY6 game.

Don't see how this could happen. If uga beats LSU, they're both in and all four playoff spots are accounted for. Big 12 left out of playoff, and winner of Okla / Baylor to Sugar.

If the sugar bowl takes the top ranked SEC team vs Big 12 and UGA and LSU are in the playoffs, that could put the gators as next choice for the sugar.

Yep we are almost a lock for at least the Orange Bowl. Would get the Sugar Bowl with a Georgia upset of LSU I think like said above.

Barring a Utah loss we could finish as high as 6 I think. UGA if they lose finish 5th behind the Oklahoma/Baylor winner.

It's not "travel plans" guaranteed yet, but it wouldn't hurt to start pricing hotel rooms and flights if you plan on going to the Orange Bowl.
