      Ok, that might have brought a bit of gut-laughter.

          This logic doesn't make sense to me (or perhaps I'm not understanding your argument). You say undefeated means you are in. So if Wisconsin goes undefeated they are in. Then you say since AL lost, it creates questions? What questions? For who?

          ETA:

          Coming into this weekend, there were 8 teams fighting for the 4 Playoff spots:
          Alabama
          Auburn
          Clemson
          Georgia
          Miami
          Oklahoma
          Ohio State
          Wisconsin

          Alabama and Wisconsin go undefeated Scenario

          If Alabama goes undefeated, that would knock out a 2-loss non-SEC champion Georgia, and a 3-loss non-SEC champion Auburn. So we're down to six teams.

          If Wisconsin goes undefeated, that would knock out a 3-loss non-B1G champion Ohio State. So we're down to five teams.

          Clemson and Miami play each other next weekend, so one will get knocked out as a 2-loss, non ACC champion. So, now we're down to four teams: Alabama, Oklahoma, Clemson/Miami winner, and Wisconsin.

          Only Wisconsin undefeated Scenario

          If Wisconsin goes undefeated, that would knock out a 3-loss non-B1G champion Ohio State. So we're down to seven teams.

          Clemson and Miami play each other next weekend, so one will get knocked out as a 2-loss, non ACC champion. So now we're down to six teams.

          Auburn and Georgia play each other next weekend, so one will get knocked out as either a 2-loss or 3-loss, non SEC champion. So now we're down to five teams.

          If Oklahoma wins the Big 12 title, it likely eliminates Alabama as a 1-loss, non-SEC champion. If Oklahoma loses, they are likely eliminated with Alabama getting the bid. So now we're down to four teams: Clemson/Miami winner, Auburn/Georgia winner, Oklahoma/Alabama, and Wisconsin.

          Again, I don't see a scenario where Alabama's loss impacted Wisconsin in any way. If Wisconsin goes undefeated, they are in, regardless of whether Alabama had gone undefeated. If Wisconsin loses in the B1G Championship, they are out, regardless of whether Alabama had gone undefeated.

          If you disagree, please post your scenario.

            We just bring it out to show it to you guys every year.

              People still drool over Alabama. If they stayed undefeated, they were in. Alabama lost, so now WI can say "We're undefeated! We're in, Alabama is out!" But the SEC fanboys will point out that Alabama's only loss was to a powerhouse team, so it's not really a "loss" that should count against them for playoff purposes. Basically, the SEC/Alabama folks changed the parameters of who gets in because of Alabama losing.

              I have a feeling WI is gonna get screwed (not that I mind that; of course, I would also love to see Alabama not make it).

                  not sure how a team can not even make its own conference championship game, yet still think it qualifies for a national championship game...

                    You keep saying that, but provide nothing of substance to back it up. See my post below, and please post your scenario that shows (at least in your opinion) how if Alabama had gone undefeated, it would have left an undefeated Wisconsin out of the Playoff. I see zero scenarios where that is the case, and obviously you believe there is one. I'd love to see it.

                          Like Scooby, I don't know enough/care enough to know the formulas, etc. Just following the news blurbs/etc.

                          IMO, the good ol' boys in NCAA will whatever they can to keep AL in, and they don't care about WI. *shrug*

                            So you'll admit that you have no basis for your opinion that Alabama's loss somehow helped Wisconsin's playoff chances?

                                I'm all for you getting Brent to admit that he's talking out his butt.


                                As a Wisconsin fan though, I'll admit that I don't believe that a 13-0 Wisconsin is an absolute, 100% lock.

                                They should be and likely would be, but I believe in the smoke filled room.
