By next Saturday, playoff chaos and Charlie Strong's seat will heat up

— -- While wondering how in the world Georgia pulled off that unbelievable win against Tennessee ... wait, what the? ... I mean how Tennessee pulled off that unbelievable win against Georgia, let's look ahead to what everyone will be obsessing about this week.

Some things we'll be obsessing about all week

1. Louisville could be the selection committee's worst nightmare

We're barely into October and we already have the absolutely worst scenario for the College Football Playoff selection committee. If Alabama (SEC), Washington (Pac-12), Clemson (ACC), Ohio State or Michigan (Big Ten) and Baylor (Big 12) each win their respective league title with only one loss and then Louisville finishes 11-1 with wins against Florida State and Houston and a pulsating 42-36 loss at Clemson, what in the world will the committee members do?

Six teams with six legitimate arguments to get into the four-team playoff. The committee prefers conference champions, but if any of the conference champions are not undefeated, how can they exclude an 11-1 Louisville team with the planet's most exciting player? They can't. Can they?

The selection committee got off easy the first two years. This season, the committee will finally be tested, and we will see if it truly values strength of schedule, which it has said is such an important component.

2.?Big D result could be a Big Deal to Strong

Texas and Oklahoma meet Saturday in the Cotton Bowl. It's one of the top rivalries in sports. Call it the Red River Shootout (or if you prefer, the politically correct Red River Rivalry). Or for the second consecutive season, call it the Charlie Strong Desperately Needs A Win Bowl.

Last season, Texas limped into Dallas with a 1-4 record and speculation swirling about Strong's future in Austin. UT pulled off the upset as the Longhorns lifted Strong in the air, body-surfing above the Cotton Bowl turf.
