Heck, even Notre Dame, Texas,and K-State could make a legit argument to be in the game if they can run the table.

There is no way FSU would be ranked ahead of Oregon if both ran the table. Have you looked at FSU's remaining schedule? They play #10 Florida and thats it.

Georgia plays #6 SC and #10 Florida. I personally think Georgia will lose to SC and be out of the picture.

If Southern Carolina runs the table beating a #5 #4 #10 and #15 I could see them posing a threat...but they would lose in the SEC championship game.

Same situation for LSU, cannot beat Alabama, period.

Oregon plays (as of now) #13 USC, #14 Or St. which I see running the table and potentially being a top 10 team by the time they face off, #18 Stanford, and presumably #13 USC again in the Pac 12 championship game.

While I think Oregon needs to do a little more in the out of conference scheduling, I think an easy OOC schedule this year was wise after Boise St and LSU.

So Saban will just sign a few more players next week?

People are going to hate this by if Notre dame wns out they will for sure play in the national championship game. They beat Mich St and Michigan and have to play USC Stanford and Oklahoma.

I hope my bulldogs win out and surprise bama in the sec

yes, they can. Team A can beat Team B and vice versa.....as both teams have the ability to win on any given day. Now, if you ask me, if the two meet, who do you feel will win, I say Alabama. Although, Bama doesn't seem as strong running the ball as they did the last few years. That has a lot to do with Ingram and Richardson being in the NFL now, as well as some of their OL. Still, I feel the one team that has the best shot to beat Alabama is Alabama.
