  1. Are you sure? https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2024/5/29/12-team-format.aspx Shit, I guess you are right. They aren't obliged to grant a bid to the ACC champ unless no more than four other conference's champions are ranked higher. If Duke beats UVA it's possible that two G5 champs would be ranked higher than Duke in the final rankings and that there would be no representative from the ACC, or that the only representative would be Miami.
  2. If they want to put us in, they will find a way to do it. Only question is who gets fucked over in the process, and how much blowback there would be. Every P4 champion gets an automatic bid, and the highest-ranked G5 gets an automatic bid. That means a G5 plus either Duke or Virginia will take up a spot. Notre Dame will also take up a spot since they are leading Stanford by 32 points before halftime. That's nine remaining spots. Ohio State and Indiana are locks, that's seven remaining spots. Georgia is a lock. That's six remaining spots. Ole Miss is a lock. That's five remaining spots. The Big XII champ is a lock. That's four remaining spots. Texas A&M is a lock. That's three remaining spots. Oregon is a lock. That's two remaining spots. Teams whose seasons are over, fighting for those two spots, in no particular order Oklahoma (2 loss), Vandy (2 loss), Utah (2 loss), Miami (2 loss), Texas (3 loss) Teams whose seasons aren't yet over, also able to clinch one of those two spots: Alabama (2 loss - can win SEC auto bid), BYU (1 loss - can win Big XII auto bid), Texas Tech (1 loss - can win Big XII auto bid) I think Utah is easy to fuck over, so they're out. I think the ACC is weak as hell, but leaving Miami out is going to be hard to justify. The harder part is justifying putting Texas over Alabama, Oklahoma, and Vandy, especially when there are already three SEC teams in. If Georgia beats Alabama, that helps a bit, but there still needs to be a willingness for the CFP to put a 3-loss Texas over 2-loss Vandy and Oklahoma. The head to head helps a lot, but are they willing to take criticism from those fanbases? Vandy is flush with cash, and Oklahoma is a blue blood. The amount Texas jumps for beating A&M is going to provide a lot of insight into how they are leaning. We need to hope for UVA and Georgia to win out. Texas Tech over BYU, too, although I feel like they won't want to include any 2-loss Big XII team regardless if that loss was in a conference title game. B1G title game doesn't matter much except for determining who has to travel and where to. I've done more than my fair share of criticizing Sark this season, but I will give him credit for knowing exactly when and how hard to begin lobbying for his team. I hope CDC and the BMDs are doing everything in their power behind the scenes to prevent Arch Manning from having to play in a shitty bowl game.
  3. I thought Tennessee was going to outclass the Buckeyes in round 1 last season after they'd lost to the Wolverines. That clearly did not happen. I thought Oregon had their number and would win the re-match. That clearly did not happen, either. Great teams peak at the right time, and we might be one of those great teams. Or we might not be. That's the beautiful thing about a true playoff. In the BCS and four teams eras, Ohio State never would have had a shot to win four in a row for a natty. None of the 2-loss teams have the resume Texas has. Notre Dame lost to aggy, and their loss to Miami looks worse and worse as Carson Beck Carson Beck'ed. We have the head to head over Oklahoma and Vanderbilt. I guess this is the shitty part of not controlling our own destiny anymore. This totally kills the argument we'd hear about how a playoff would make the regular season meaningless. Nobody should have believed it back in the BCS days, but this season is all the proof you need that every game still matters.
