I like your 8 overall, but I'd go:They like the "1" in their record. IMO, that's not looking very deep though especially with that woof of an OOC schedule.
Personally, based on the 0-2 by the B1G and the TCU blowout loss, I would have no issue with the Final Top 8 Final being:
01. Georgia (15-0) (SEC Champion with super powers)
02. Tennessee (11-2) (beat ACC Champion and Alabama)
03. Alabama (11-2) (beat Big Xii Champion)
04. TCU (13-2) (beat B1G Champion and somebody had to be slapped by UGA)
05. Michigan (13-1) (B1G Champion and beat Ohio State and Penn State)
06. Ohio State (11-2) (beat Penn State)
07. Penn State (11-2) (beat Pac Champion)
08. Tulane (12-2) (AAC and Cotton Bowl Champion)
I have no issue with the SEC teams over TCU, but the Frogs should be ahead of all of the B1G (0-2) teams and Penn State.
After that, I don't GAF.
1. Georgia
2. Ohio St.
3. Bama
4. TCU
5. Michigan
6. Tennessee
7. Penn St.
8. Tulane
