And pretty much everything I told you on Monday came to fruition in terms of projecting what was likely to happen.

Let's start with where we're headed here I'm going down to Atlanta on Friday and I will watch Alabama Georgia play in the SEC title game there.

What's interesting about the SEC title game is I believe as I told you on Monday and as the college football playoff ranking showed last night Alabama's in the playoff.

There are two teams that are in the playoff and are not going to be left out that is Alabama and that is Notre Dame and Notre Dame obviously doesn't have a game at all so they're sitting at 12 and 0 with no issues going forward.

Alabama is 12 and no matter what happens against Georgia with the small caveat of unless to a got hurt substantially.

Let me toss that out there and was suddenly out for the season like Mackenzie Milton at central Florida like Alex Smith against Washington barring a significant injury for two a talk of I low.

Then we're talking about Alabama automatically in which means there's two spots available for the college football playoff Alabama's in and Notre Dame is in now we don't know necessarily where those teams are going to be.

I think it's likely that Notre Dame is going to be three and then there are two open spots.

Clemson plays against Pittsburgh as a 26 point favorite if Clemson loses that game.

I don't think Clemson would make the college football playoff because their overall resume is not that strong and there would be a lot of other teams with every bit as good of resumes.

So Clemson needs to win to be in even though we know that they're the best team in the ACC.

The ACC is just not very strong.

You look overall at the ACC across the board.

All right, so that is intriguing in and of itself.

Here is the big debate.

Right.
