    But first of all, 3 undefeated teams had to lose because there were 3 games that were undefeated vs. undefeated. Next, USC was an underdog on the road at Utah. And the last two were James Madison and Coastal Carolina, hardly earth shattering that they
    lost.

    Neither of those last two mattered. You could still have five to fit in four (Clemson/Syracuse, Georgia/Tennessee/Mississippi, Michigan/Ohio State, UCLA, TCU).

    I'm guessing we won't have 5 undefeateds left. UCLA is an underdog this weekend at Oregon. I'm guessing TCU will be an underdog at Texas on 11/12. Ohio State and Clemson will probably be favored in all remaining games. Georgia will be favored in all
    remaining regular season games but might be an underdog in the SEC title game to Alabama.

    You're probably right at least on TCU. I don't know about UCLA, because I think the skids are being greased for at least one of UCLA and USC before they leave the conference.

    I don't see Georgia as an underdog to Alabama, especially after this weekend, though.

    I'm beginning to doubt that. This Alabama team has not seemed to gel. I'm not sure they'll even get to the title game. Now if they played a really
    patsy cupcake schedule like Ohio State, they'd be a shoo-in.
