If we keep having seasons like this, better OOC matchups will come. It makes perfect sense not to schedule us up to this point. Texas I can understand, A&M doesn't schedule us because they're afraid of being run through on national TV like we did in most of our big 12 matchups.
It's all kind of part of building up the program.

As optimistic as I want to be, FanDual has us at +2500 to get in the playoffs. Don't think it's happening.
But it means there's still an outside chance. You need the committee to first jump you over Vandy and Miami (admittedly hard because they both dominated their last regular season games against ranked opponents on the road, but your win was better on paper so there is room to make that case) and then root for Georgia to blow out Alabama and Tech to beat BYU. That's the only path I see. Stanford making ND sweat would have been a small insurance policy as well but alas...

So the top 4 get a double bye?
He has to mean 24 not 16....I'm not sure how 16 teams with 8 byes would work

There is no way they'd punish a team for making and losing the SEC CG regardless of the margin. Ole Miss and Aggy are in with one conference loss. Bama would be in if they lost the tiebreaker and were resting this weekend. Leaving them out would set an even worse precedent than the UT losing to No. 1 tOSU situation. Maybe if CCG's were officially going to end soon but they are still trying to make those games meaningful and sure af can't let someone be negatively affected especially a blueblood like Bama.
I can't agree. If they lose like 35-7 to Georgia I think the committee absolutely considers dropping them and they'd be right to do so. I'm not saying they'd ultimately do it but they'd have to consider it considering Bama's very obvious deficiencies.

Is this one of those things that someone claims and then others just repeat it? Referee Ken Williamson got "permanently suspended" by the SEC after the Georgia-Auburn game. His crew did not officiate the OU-Auburn game, Jeff Heaser's crew did and they continued to officiate games after OU-Auburn.
That play also didn't turn the game, it was the game's first touchdown. Nowhere near a guarantee that Auburn wins that game if the TD is overturned.

Alabama should have been in the CFP last year. That was obvious after the first round.
Ironically, I've never used ChatGPT.
They didn't deserve it. Too bad so sad.

There is a top tier of college football. The Big 12 and ACC are not in it.
You're right. And most SEC/B1G teams aren't it either. Do you have any other takes I could get from ChatGPT?

Bama isn't getting left out
I really don't understand why any of you are so sure about this. They are literally right on the knife's edge of not being in the playoff. If they get blown out by Georgia they could easily fall 3 spots and get fucked.

It's going to wind up being an SEC and Big Ten tournament if better teams than most of the field keep getting left out.
It's like we traveled back in time to last year and found ourselves on a Bama board
Hate to keep repeating myself, but again, the playoff just needs to be expanded to where it should be and this isn't even a conversation. 16 teams and nobody but Colin Cowherd complains about a team getting left out. 24 teams with 8 byes or whatever is even better. Tell Notre Dame to go fuck itself until it joins a conference, and tell the G5 to have its own playoff. Problem solved in perpetuity.
2 minutes ago, Uncle Nate said:Oregon at least did with Tech, so I'll give UO credit for stepping up to the plate when most in their conference and SEC won't.
And they still honored it even when the game in Eugene had to be cancelled. That's how you conduct yourself, not the way the SEC does things.

The Big 12 and the ACC need the SEC and Big Ten.
It's hilarious to watch people just become the biggest koolaid drinkers. Or in DD's case, a koolaid drinking robot.

Is there any rule that forbids a conference from using the playoff committee, or something like the AP poll to determine who plays in the conference championship game?
Idk but there should be a rule that you can't be in the CFP if you're not in a conference

If the committee gets pressured to put Texas in to keep the out-of-conference games, what are the odds they make Ole Miss the fall guy to give Texas a spot?
I really don't think you can punish the Ole Miss team because of Kiffin's actions. That would be pretty low, but who knows. Anything could happen.

In your opinion, which teams are playoff caliber?
Not the G5 teams, or Miami, or ND, or Vandy or Utah. Everyone else including Texas I'm ok with.
e: Or BYU unless they can show something they haven't this coming weekend.

Just now, The_Great_Hornsby said:
Vandy is not playoff caliber and Tenn is bad. I do agree with that. Vandy is a fringe playoff team only because the refs suck off Pavia so hard.
Yeah and none of that is to say Texas' win over them is any less impressive, I just think calling them a top 10 team is goofy.
-
4 minutes ago, Dahobbs said:
I mean, they just crushed a decent Tennessee team. They played Alabama pretty well too before giving up that late TD. There aren't 20 teams better than Vanderbilt. That offense is legit brutally efficient, and Pavia's improv skills are deadly.
Can we not do the SECSECSEC thing? Tennessee is fucking terrible and you know it. They got blown out by Alabama. I'm just saying Vandy is not playoff caliber, that's all.

meehhhh, they were top 10 when you beat them, and the only reason they're not anymore is because you beat them.
They're also one of those teams that have gotten washed by the only good teams they've played all year so it's hard to tell if they even belong in the top 20.

No way TT loses to BYU.
I think it's reasonable to assume to the CFP will at least rank Texas ahead of Utah, like the AP and coaches. We just need that one extra step of being ranked ahead of Miami or Vandy which isn't unreasonable. That puts us at #13. BYU gets trounced and hopefully Bama does as well. That then leaves the CFP deciding between a 3 loss recently trounced Bama, a 3 loss Texas, and Vandy which lost to Texas or Miami which didn't even qualify for the ACC title game.
I would assume Bama is in with that scenario but it's the best we got.
The problem is that Miami and Vandy's seasons are done, and they won their final games in pretty dominating fashion, so there's nothing left for them to fuck up between now and selection. I suppose it's possible that the committee jumps Texas over them tomorrow but it doesn't seem likely (though I think they should).

Idk, Mahomes has an equally (perhaps more) stupid brother and it hasn't hurt him any. At least it's not seemingly his entire family, though, so he has that going for him.

Win or lose against BYU, I'm still hoping for a Tech v. aggy first round matchup in which aggy closes out its season with losses to Texas and Tech. If Texas doesn't make it in, that would still be a satisfying CFP for me.
This would be the funniest possible outcome
1 minute ago, Helobious said:Yeah hate to sound all “white guys can’t jump”, but I watched BYU-Tech this year. There was a ridiculous disparity in athleticism and speed all over the field, BYU never had a chance. And their QB is a shitty Tebow clone.
Well that seals it, now we're gonna fucking lose

After catching up on this thread, @Brian Fantana has produced what might be the biggest series of “punk ass bitch” posts from a surly regular ever. What a giant pussy.
And on top of all that, his whole “logic” is ridiculous: “I’m confident Texas wouldn’t be favored, and I’m right because you can’t produce an actual betting line that proves me wrong.” Never mind he has zero proof for his view. What an idiot.
It’s some of the dumbest logic I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something because I’ve read a lot of his cloak room posts.
Neither side of the argument has any proof, dipshit, that's the whole point. I can point to publicly available computer models that suggest we would be favored, but that's all we have to go on besides subjective opinion and feely feels.
Suck my dick.
Lol @ trying to CR the thread to make a point, too, what a little bitch.

Bama is beating Georgia. It is what they do.
I would change my tune about them if they did. I'm skeptical. Georgia has looked much stronger and focused. Bama doesn't seem to have that kind of focus until DeBoer or however you spell his name.

Just now, The_Great_Hornsby said:
BYU beating Tech and Bama losing to UGA will stress this theory. Are they just gonna drop Tech all the way from #4 to out?
A funny scenario to me would be Bama beating Georgia, BYU beating Tech, which I think would likely result in ND getting dropped from the CFP for BYU.
I don't think there's any way Tech would drop out with a loss unless it was a blowout.

This is just another case for expanding the playoff.
