Hopefully Oregon lost by enough that a winning Texas and if losing Georgia both stay ahead of them.

They have 2 losses. I don’t see how they could be ranked ahead of a one loss team?
Yeah, I cannot imagine any scenario where Oregon gets in now. The final three (after Washington) are going to be from some combination of Georgia, Michigan, FSU, Texas, Alabama and Ohio State, no matter what happens today.

Replay has its own rule book. Here is the specific rule from page 30:

“If the officials rule the runner out of bounds replay can only look at the position of the ball at that point in relation to the line to gain or the goal line. The one exception is if the runner is ruled out but crosses the opponent’s goal line in the immediate continuing action after the ruling.”
Thanks. Kind of a weird exclusion given how much can be reviewed in college, but I guess they don’t want to be using replay just to respot for field position if it doesn’t matter for TD/first down.

What if, hypothetically, Michigan, FSU, Texas and Alabama all lose? Two B1G teams make it then to join Georgia and Washington? Please say no

Just as much on the WR imo. They were pushing.
It matters not, this is going to be a massacre, Texas is loaded and with a little help, they'll get into the playoff.

One of my best customers youngest son goes to Texas, so I'm happy for the two of them.

The Father went to FSU; oh boy, that might not end well.

Replay rules are a total spaghetti mess where they basically cook up a different rule for every possible scenario.

Let's say you have a similar play except it involves a pass. QB rolls out to his right and he is near the sideline when he tosses a pass to a wide open receiver in the end zone. The covering official rules that the QB stepped out just before the pass was thrown. Replay shows the QB was never out of bounds. Result: Not reviewable, the onfield ruling of the QB out of bounds stands.

3 of 5 ESPN panelists picked Iowa. They might be the first team to ever have more panelists picking them than points scored.
