With the regular season now over, the real fun (for some other teams, I guess) begins. Lots of wild scenarios in play as we head into Championship Week and the playoffs.
To me, it looks likely that we are headed for another big controversy surrounding which team will snag the 4th playoff spot. It seems plausible that either Georgia and/or Florida St could lose, and if either does, several teams could make a case for the spot that opens up.
In my favorite timeline, Florida State and Texas both lose, leaving Michigan, the winner of Oregon/Washington, Georgia as locks, and the committee selects Ohio State to the 4th spot and they beat Harbaugh in the rematch for the title. I'm no Ohio State fan, I just hate Michigan and that is the most painful scenario I can imagine for them.
