JMU vs. Oregon (-21)

Miami vs. Texas A&M (-3.5)

Tulane vs. Ole Miss (-16.5)

Alabama vs. Oklahoma (+2)
 
Can't believe a team the quality of JMU is in the playoff. They were playing stride for stride with Troy for all of that game and if Troy's QB didn't get knocked out they could have lost.

Including them and Tulane is overcompensation for having teams like legit top 10 Boise teams left out of big bowl games over the last 20 years. But this isn't the design.

ND at Ole Miss or Oregon would have been amazing.

Alabama Oklahoma rematch of 2 teams where Bama tried to lose it and OU was putrid on offense - yippee.

With that said these teams will have an edge over the other teams who are sitting around for a month. No hotter team than Texas Tech who is done for 3.5 weeks.
 
I view Bammer vs BOOMER SOONERS as a toss up. very tough game to pick for me and i am trying to be objective here. i respect the hell out of Bama and i do not like our O in Norman is trending the last several weeks. Home field at night with local 7pm in Oklahoma will help a bit and our D and ST's is quite stout.

Tulane vs Ole Miss is odd to me with one coach leaving and another one just promoted. pass.

the two that intrigue me:

i really like the way the CANES are playing with veteran Beck. i have concerns about A&M's D at times. 11 am kickoff so 12th man a bit sober and nullified ?.
I like CANES + the points here.

JMU i like to stay inside of the 3 TD's up in cold and damp Eugene.
