The big debate this week is who should get the fourth seat in the final four?  It's clear that even with a loss in their conference championship, Alabama and Clemson are #1 and #2.  And since Notre Dame is undefeated and have no more games (and hey it's Notre Dame), they will most likely be #3.

So who gets in at #4?  Oklahoma and Ohio State are the likely candidates given that they win their conference championship.  If one looses it makes the choice easy according to some.  Now if you consider my rankings, based on every game played by Division 1A school in the country, Ohio State is ranked two spots ahead of Oklahoma.  But what is notable is that they are ranked 7th and 9th respectively.  Who else is in the top ten is the real shocker.  Fresno St and Appalachain St are two schools most people don't realize are Division 1A schools, let alone where they are; but both had great years for their programs.  Even after getting curb stomped by Ohio State, Michigan is still statistically better based on the body of their work, with a harder schedule to boot.  

And then there is Georgia.  The real fly in the ointment should they find a way to knock off Alabama next week.  There is no way you keep out an SEC champion at this time.  And like I said, the powers that be won't leave out Alabama.

But the team that deserves to be in the final four over them all is UCF.  This team has dominated their opponents for TWO years without a loss.  This includes a bowl game against Auburn last year (you know, the team that was in Georgia's position last year.  The 1B SEC school that was talked about being in the final four).  I know that there is questions about the health of teh UCF QB, but what does it take for a team from a non power conference to get a seat?  They win their conference and run the table.  It's as if the committee that decides things is sending a message loud and clear, 

"You have NO chance to ever win a title unless you're in a big conference"
