Alabama is only team that can lose and make Colleg

The College Football Playoff enters the third week of November with 10 legitimate contenders remaining in the race. The listincludes three unbeaten Power 5 teams (Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame),six one-lo s Power 5 teams (Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, West Virginia and Washington State) and UCF. are subject to endle s debate, but there's only one virtual certainty with that board. It's one nobody wants to read.Alabama (10-0) is on the only team that can lose and still get in. Alabama finishes up the regular season at home against The Citadel and Auburn before that SEC Pittsburgh Steelers Sleepwear Underwear championship game on Dec. 1 against Georgia. Thedefending national champions could still lose agame and slipinto the Playoff for the second straight season.MORE: Who should that concern?Everybody else even the unbeaten teams.Clemson is 10-0, and the Tigers wrapped up the ACC Atlantic Division championship with a 27-7 win against Boston College on Saturday. The Tigers, however,could still sink into some uncomfortable one-lo s debates if they slip up against Duke, South Carolina or in the conference title game. Even in the quest for a fourth straight Playoff berth, Clemson won't get treated the same as the Tide with one lo Buddy Johnson Jersey s.Notre Dame is 10-0, but given their lack of a conference championship game. That means swatting away upset bids from Syracuse and USC the next two weeks. The Irish aren't winning a one-lo s debate with Alabama any time soon if it's for the last spot.UCF is 9-0 and has won 22 consecutive games, but it would be an upset if it was ranked ahead of two-lo s LSU when the third set of College Football Playoff rankings are unveiled on Tuesday. MORE: What about the one-lo s teams? They can't Anthony Miller Jersey lose anyway, given that since it started in 2014.How do those teams size upagainst a one-lo s Alabama team?Georgia (9-1) gets its chance in the SEC championship game, makingit the only one of these one-lo s teams that would theoretically be guaranteed to finish in front of Alabama if the Bulldogs win head-to-head. In fact, that might prompt the next five teams to root for Alabama to beat Georgia, simply to avoid another two-team SEC Playoff scenario.Washington State (9-1) and West Virginia (8-1) likely would fall short against one-lo s Alabama, even with conference championships in tow. That leaves three big brands in Michigan (9-1), Oklahoma (9-1) and Ohio State (9-1).Michigan Christian Kuntz Jersey would be the best bet to win that argumentagainstthe Tide, given its one lo s is on the road to an undefeated Notre Dame team in Week 1.Still, if Clemson and Notre Dame win out and Georgia beats Alabama, it wont be a slam dunk. The Wolverines would have to hope their defense is enough.Oklahoma would be close, too, given its only lo s was a. The Sooners have serious questions on defense, however, and that has been a constant talking point the last two seasons. The Sooners would have to hopetheiroffense is enough.MORE: That leaves Ohio State and the same-old debate from last year: The Buckeyes still can beat Michigan and win theBig Ten championship, but the 49-20 lo s to Purdue still hangs over the school. for the last spot last year. Even if both teams have the same Kenny Pickett T Shirts number of lo ses, would it be different in 2018?The Buckeyescant count on that. None of these nine teams can bank on winning that argumentwith Alabama, so its almost best to a sume the Crimson Tide will be in the Playoff and try to snag one of those other three spots.In the meantime, take care of busine s against the other teams on the board. Ohio State plays Michigan in The Game. Oklahoma and West Virginia play at the end of the season, and could play in the Big 12 title game. Those are the only guaranteed lo ses left among those 10 teams.The rest of the teams simply have to win.Except for Alabama, of course. But you know those rules by now.
