Joey's gonna have some good film on Oregon's defense after this game.
Was thinking the same thing.
Along with I’m also not sure how well conditioned the Ducks - they are starting to look a little winded and I very much think Tech can take advantage of that.

BYU had their chance to impress — twice. And didn’t move the needle.Dammit!!
Their measurable we’re ahead of both ND and Miami. Why is this FACT lost on so many people?!?!?!
That the committee chose to ignore it does not change it.

That’s unforgivable if you’re Minshew - don’t how cold you are - the ONLY thing you can’t do it turn it over

Well I guess that answers the question about wether Yormack would court ND and ask if they were serious about breaking up with the ACC - lol

Do tell

Would y’all except a good ol’ high school coin flip?
Or drawing straws or names in a hat?
Would make as much sense as the committee

Four turnovers in a conference championship is NOT chump football
Ok. I gotta admit, I laughed. 😆

FYI - there’s a pretty good chance Tech get’s their best interior D lineman back for playoffs
-
This is BYU’s 4th loss in TWO seasons
That’s NOT a chump team!!

Go look at BYU’s schedule and compare it against the schedules of the SEC teams that are either in contention or are already a lock for the playoffs. It’s laughable if you actually think that BYU’s schedule is comparable to any of those team’s schedules.
The SEC isn’t the only conference sending teams to the playoffs.
BYU stacks up just fine vs the teams near them in the rankings and I’d thriw Oregon in there too

So you would get +50 for beating an FCS while we get +10 for beating the #3 team?
I think your shit is severely flawed
No.
you get 100 for top25 + 25 for top10 + 10 for top5

As most of you know, Texas high school playoffs are currently ongoing. And in the various divisions (6a, 5a, 4a etc etc) all the the districts send their top 4 teams - regardless of w/l record - top 4 are in. This is based on district results only, non district games matter not.
And then the first round begins with all the 1’s facing off against the 4’s and likewise all the 2’s and 3’s
I like this. I’m wondering if perhaps it could work for the CFP. Conference championship games have no bearing other than to name the 1 seeds.
Now I know what you are thinking, why even play the CCGs? We’ll let me tell you…
SEC Top 4
Bama, UGA, Miss, AggyBIG Top 4
tOSU, Indy, UO, SCBig12 Top 2 - yeah, I said 2
Tech, BYUACC Top 2
Virginia, DukeThat’s 12 teams so we have 4 spots to fill and we’re gonna do that on CCG weekend. G5s need to have their champs already decided prior to this weekend - hey, if they want in, that’s the requirement.
Top ranked G5 + 7 at-large play for the final 4 bids - all four of which will then fill in 3 and 4 seeds in the BIG12 and ACC spots in CFP bracket
Using the AP poll, the seven at large this year would be: (8)OU, (9)ND, (10)Bama, (11)BYU, (12)Miami, (13)Vandy, (14)Texas
Thanks to SC getting the 4 seed out of the BIG, Utah is 1st team out
Match-ups would be:
OU - G5
ND - Texas
Bama - Vandy
BYU - MiamiI’m too slow getting to the editor
I have BYU in there twice - lol

I saw a reel come across my feed yesterday where some guy applied point value for wins and losses and came up with a season total.
I can’t find the link but his formula was something like this:
+50 pts - non top25 win
+100 - top25 win
+25 - top10 win
+10 - top5 win-100 - non top25 loss
-50 - top25 loss
-35 - top10 loss
-25 - top5 lossTop25 rankings were based on current end of season rankings, not time of game rankings
Add up team totals and seed a playoff accordingly
Apologies for quoting myself but here’s Tech’s season total:
50 Ark PB
50 Kent St
50 Oregon St
100 Utah (15)
100 Houston (21)
50 Kansas
-100 Az St
50 Ok St
50 K St
100 BYU (11) (should be 10)
50 UCF
50 WV
______600

You can't fix the scheduling issue unless you motivate the teams/conferences to fix it themselves.
But can you do it that way alone? I don't think you can.
18 and 20 team conferences really have no way to do that.
-
I like Gruden’s plan. But it doesn’t solve the unequal scheduling problem. Only a massive reconfiguring will do that.

Bruce Feldman was on cc show and basically said Texas needs to shut up and they are not deserving of the playoff because check notes…
they lost to Florida who is the worse team in all of college footballthey played some games that were close with very bad teams lmao
and they aren’t good this year and next year is the year they’ll be good.
whether he is right or wrong I’m assuming that’s how the committee thinks. My problem is, are we the only ones getting held to this standard wtf? Do they even watch any other games? he should just say they lost 3 games and call it a day but he layed it off that we suck.
Have you ever heard of BYU? They play in a “P4” conference and won 11 games and they aren’t in the playoff.
If Texas played their schedule and had the same results, Texas would be Top5 right now.

Ok. How ‘bout this.
I too agree about CCGs meaning something so instead of 8 champs plus 8 at-large…
- 8 champs get byes
- 8 CCG losers play 8 at-large-

If there was a complete overhaul and do-over would not the $$ still be a part of it. Not sure I agree that money would be lost by the current members of BIG SEC
-
I started to post this in one of the existing threads but thought I’d go this route to shift the focus from “what’s wrong” to “what it could be”. I liked Gruden’s idea of more play-in games on CCG Saturday but I don’t think it goes far enough as a long term fix. So, here goes…
The Super Bowl pits the AFC champ vs the NFC champ - doesn’t matter if the 2 or 3 or 7 best teams are all on one side or the other - the Super Bowl will always be AFC vs NFC. Fast forward to a new college football playoff landscape, what’s your preferred format? I know there are some that want this but is there really a majority that would want it to be BIG vs SEC all the time and all the time BIG vs SEC? Like AFC vs NFC?
My fandom doesn’t stem from following a blue blood program - I went to high school in Lubbock (college ACU) but I still live in Lubbock and therefore I support and follow Texas Tech. But I was born in Los Angeles and didn’t move to Texas until I was 15. The blue bloods were all I ever knew as they were the teams always on TV and playing in the bowl games on New Years Day (the majority of my early college football viewing)
So I’m an outsider regarding blue bloods but I understand their perspective of not wanting to share that which they have built.
But is that really what’s best for the future of the game?
I’m curious if you Longhorns truly want that sort of contraction? I’m open to hear your pros and cons for going that route.
As for me and my personal non blue blood perspective and fandom, I always enjoyed the regionality of the SWC - wish Arkansas never left. When we moved to Texas, I hadn’t heard of Texas Tech but I knew about Texas and Arkansas and Oklahoma - and Aggy because of the movie “Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” - lol
But I REALLY liked the original Big12 - save for screwing up the OU/NU game. And I would like to see a return to something similar to those affiliations - doesn’t have to be exact but close. The scarcity of teams out west make if difficult to do with a good and equal distribution of program size and strength. But I believe it’s worth pursuing. If nothing else, the transfer portal and NIL age has shown us who’s committed and who isn’t (so far) - so maybe that’s a starting point on where the cut line should be. Texas Tech and BYU have made it known with their recent contracts that they are committed.
With that being said, here’s my wish list:
Eight conferences of 9 teams (8x9=72)
Playoffs are the 8 champs and 8 at-large based on w/l record - regular season is 8 conf game + 4 (max of 2 vs teams outside the 72)I don’t want to list my entire 72 here now but I would like to see these traditional rivals stay together as group “starter kits” if you will for the 8 leagues
- SC, UCLA, UO, UW
- NU, OU, TX, ATM
- UI, UM, tOSU, PSU
- UA, AU, LSU, UGA
- UF, FSU, UM
- ND, AF, Army, NavyI guess that’s all I got, the rest can be filled in. As for my preference for Tech, Lubbock is already pretty remote so besides the Dallas area, regionality doesn’t exist. So, the only one I’d for sure like to be back in the same conference with is Nebraska - I guess that eliminates Texas from consideration - lol
Cheers!!

I don’t think this is getting enough love
The matchups can all be debated.
But the concept of “why do all the top seeds have to play an extra game?” asks a question that makes a ton of sense

2025-26 CFP General Discussion
in Football
Posted
I’m in the the G5 should be included camp.
I’m also objective enough to know that the 5/6 seeds playing Tulane/JM while 7/8 seeds played Bama/Miami was a HUGE advantage for the 5/6
THAT needs to be fixed.
So how about this little tweak:
- Top 5 conf champs are still in but they have to be ranked in top 12
- If not ranked in top 12, they play in a “play-in” games vs the 11 and 12 seeds
Sorry, Longhorns, that still doesn’t help you this year but it would have given us these games instead
11 ND vs Tulane
12 BYU vs JM
And instead of last night’s blowouts we would have had
5 Oregon vs 12 BYU
6 Ole Miss vs 11 ND
but
there’s also this little nugget that would have helped UT this year had the ACC produced a legit champion and only 1 G5 team was in play…
instead of 12 BYU vs JM, it could have been 12 BYU vs 13 UT
