Who should we be rooting for today?

So many cfp implicated matchups today;

7 Texas at 18 Mizzou...Mizzou?
GA vs ole miss...go dawgs
9 byu vs 3 utah...utah
Miami vs ND ..Miami
Ky vs 13 tenn....vols
Bama vs LSU...bama?
Ucla vs minny...minny
Oregon vs OSU.... OSU
A,&m vs gamecocks...tam..sorry Pepsi

To really determine who to root for probably need to look at schedules, but this is my gut reactions.
Go Hawkeyes! Beat those nasty cats!

I'd agree with most. Better that the higher ranked teams win and knocked the others above Iowa out. So, Georgia, Utah, Miami, Bama, . Texas would be better than Mizzou I think. Oregon vs OSU is a tough one.

7 Texas at 18 Mizzou...Mizzou? Probably not a big deal. Mizzou has UGA/Kentucky/OU to end the year and is taking at least one more loss, so maybe Mizzou giving Texas a loss is the best outcome. But Texas eliminating Mizzou and accepting Texas will be one of the SEC teams isn't the end of the world.
GA vs ole miss...go dawgs. Yep, gonna take a lot to get Georgia out of the CFP, so go ahead and give Ole Miss another loss here.
9 byu vs 3 utah...utah. Agreed. Have Utah run away with the Big 12 and give BYU another loss, which also hurts Notre Dame.
Miami vs ND ..Miami. No question Miami.
Ky vs 13 tenn....vols. Another SEC game that doesn't make a big difference. Since we don't have a crystal ball to know how these teams will do their final few games, it's splitting hairs right now.
Bama vs LSU...bama? I think Bama, yeah. Between the CFP committee's love affair with them and their easy remaining schedule, might as well accept they're in and give LSU a devastating loss.
Ucla vs minny...minny. Minnesota would be a big win for us, giving UCLA a loss and giving our "worst loss" a bit more quality.
Oregon vs OSU.... OSU. Probably OSU. Although OSU tanking and dropping out of the playoffs altogether isn't the worst thing in the world. Oregon might win out from here though and I can imagine a nightmare scenario where a hot Oregon team with better wins gets in over us even with the extra loss.
A,&m vs gamecocks...tam..sorry Pepsi. Yeah easy call, TAMU.

My takes in bold.

Yes, some QB keepers and running effing wide, Geezus minny had 8 in the box and we didnt run it or throw wide hardly at all, I still cant get over. the hawks would be sitting really great now with just the one loss

And now Minnesota back to doing what they've been doing the last few weeks. Leaning on their defense, hoping teams make mistakes, and doing just enough to get their dog sh** offense into field goal range.

They are essentially 2022-23 Iowa.

Their best defender is even a former Iowa DB..........
