Playoff Scenario 1 – Tigers bring the Windex

Read to the end for the complete playoff scenario 1.  Check back later for "Playoff Scenario 2 - A Hawkeye Haze."

Six are in the mix for playoff spots and seedings with 2 games to go.

Let’s start with Monday’s Music City Bowl, 1:30 on ESPN. The Missouri Tigers and the Iowa Hawkeyes square off in a matchup of conference foes (if The Commish were the czar of college football realignment).

The Tigers are only a slight favorite to win per Vegas (-1.5) and ESPN (52.4%). But 83% of the remaining Bowl Battlers picked Missouri.

A Tigers win on Monday …

… eliminates Diss, leaves 5 combatants alive, and applies Windex to the playoff scenarios.

The following scenarios assume a Missouri win on Monday and tie to the subsequent outcome of Tuesday’s ReliaQuest Bowl, pitting the heavily favored Alabama Crimson Tide versus the Michigan Wolverines.

Scenario 1A – Alabama wins on Tuesday.

• In the playoffs (draft order)
  • Vivers (1st)
  • Princess P (2nd)
  • Joel (3rd)
  • Lil Londo (4th)
• Point Differential would give Lil Londo the 4th spot in a tiebreaker over Papa.

Scenario 1B – Michigan wins on Tuesday.

• In the playoffs (draft order)
  • Vivers (1st or 2nd)
  • Papa (1st or 2nd)
  • Princess P (3rd)
  • Joel (4th)
• Tiebreakers will be needed to determine the 1st and 2nd seeds. If Michigan wins by …
  • 1 – 8 points, then Vivers is 1st (via tiebreaker 1)
  • 9 points, then Papa is 1st (via tiebreaker 2B)
  • 10 points, then Papa is 1st (via tiebreaker 1)
