IMO Georgia I can see Oregon and Bama winning

I don't know much about TT really and hard to tell with that conference now, but the Ducks are really good. With OSU out, I could see any one of these teams, cept maybe Ole Miss, winning it all.

That's my belief based on watching them play.

It benefited Ohio State last year in exactly the same manner as it benefited Miami this year. I also think the Hartline situation hurt the Ohio State offensive continuity. Would not be surprised to see Miami win this just like Ohio State did last year.

I still have Georgia beating them.

...that it IS an advantage. That's why I think we see a 16 game playoff with no byes very soon.

The Big 10 games the system and the only good teams that their "good teams" play each season are... each other. If they all are overrated, are any of the Big 10 teams actually good? Playing Texas in week one is a step in the right direction but clearly week one is a wildcard for every team.

I've been talking about this for several years now, and watching the schedules. The B10 doesn't play tough OOc opponants and they get ranked based on playing each other. What if they ALL are overrated? If your comment is meant as shade toward Franklin at VT, he may or may not lose big games OOC. Doesn't matter, and won't matter for at least 4 years or so because if he wins 8, 9 and 10 games and gets into the ACCCG, that will be a huge step forward for VT. And if VT is ranked a result and gets into the playoff and spanked, then I won't ague that their schedule is bad if it is. Unlike the B10.
