    You really aren’t making sense. If TCU belonged last year, FSU certainly belongs this year. TCU last year and FSU this year have zero comparative value.

    I didn’t bring up TCU, was just responding to other TCU comments.

    And I haven’t said that FSU wasn’t screwed. But I have stated that I understand the SOS between Bammer and Tomahawk being a big factor.

    TCU was not the conference champion and a one loss team, lost their game before the CFP. If you hate my take even more reason why the dog FSU should be in. Who is to say their defense won’t keep it tight and their RBs run the ball well enough to win? 

     

    I’m no fan of the committee. I think they’ve screwed many teams over the life of CFP.

    TCU was not the first nor the only non-conf-champ to make the cut.

    The 20/20 hindsight about TCU is based on the ass-kicking delivered to them by Georgia.

    And I believe the win over Michigan prior to that ass-kicking validated them being there.

    the ACC was ass all year by far.  #5 SOS conf, SEC was #1.  They actually looked at something other than the loss column.  

    of course this isn't the committee's fault.  They should have been at 8 teams 25 years ago.

    Big difference between the 5th and 55th sos

    it wasn’t 5 vs 15

    it the 5th vs 55th!!!!

    That nearly half of all CFB between them.

    Ohio State absolutely has a path, which is why it's telling they're ahead of Texas and Bama in today's rankings. They probably only need wins by Oklahoma State and Louisville to slide into the fourth and final spot. It would be Michigan, Pac-12 champ, SEC champ and them.

    I missed my edit window and my brain hurts to try and correct my error with further explanation but what you point out isn’t it as I was focused on Texas’ path which by default begins with a win vs oSu.

  5. There’s a metric regarding non-champs that you all are forgetting - having a reg season win over the champ - applies to Wash/Oregon but only them. 

    And no one is projecting Wash to make it if they lose.

    Georgia is the only potential CCG loser with a shot at making the top 4 and that’s because they are currently #1 - if they were 2 or lower the odds would increase for them to miss out - but they are currently #1 so they have a shot.

    No one else has a shot as a non-champ - tOSU, sorry you’re out - you have zero path.

    other CCG participants, doesn’t matter if your lone loss is in the CCG - lose and you’re out. 

    Except UGA, and we’ve already discussed them.

    So, conference champs.

    I think Bama is in with a win.

    and if Wash, Mich, and FSU all win - they’re in and Texas and UGA are out.

    If two of those 3 lose, UT and UGA are both in.

    But if just one of those 3 falls, then obviously a 1 spot opens up and I can see a scenario where UT’s loss to OU weighs more than their win over Bama and over #1 Georgia’s lone loss being to the conf champ Bama. UGA in, Horns out.

    So, Texas best shot? Go Cardinals

    Equally good for Texas but less likely to happen - Go Haweyes

    An Oregon win? I agree that Texas chances here are massive with a win over SEC champ but I don’t trust the committee to again rank that win over the negative loss to OU vs the Duck’s loss to Udub.

    talk me off the cliff, if this game goes to the wire, are there going to be pundits saying the loser will still be deserving of a playoff spot?

    Of course!

    It’s what they do

    He caught it and established control outside of the endzone. Going to the ground isn’t part of the equation.

    Except that he didn’t

    ball was moving the entire time

    ARTICLE 3.

    1. To catch a ball means that a player:

      1. Secures control of a live ball in flight before the ball touches the ground, and

      2. Touches the ground in bounds with any part of his body, and then

      3. Maintains control of the ball long enough to enable him to perform an act common to the game, i.e., long enough to pitch or hand the ball, advance it, avoid or ward off an opponent, etc., and

    4. Maintain control through contact with the ground

    I watched Tom Brady basically tell the refs to throw flags on the other team for years and they scurried to do his bidding. 

    Now I guess since Mahomes and the Chiefs are the new prima donna darlings of the NFL, they get to have hankies tossed to bail them out w/e they need it.  Helped 'em win the Super Bowl back in February.  Now it's helping them squeak past the Zach Wilson led Jets when Mahomes is playing like ass.  

    Call me a Tech and Mahomes homer but...

    In both cases, the DBs actually did jam and grab the receivers at the LOS

    Call it ticky tack if you want but if you don’t want it to be called - DON’T DO IT!!!!

     

    (however, a 5 yd penalty shouldn’t come with an auto first down - that rule should be changed)

    aggy math says Gators are leading 29-18.

    Gators win 31-26!!

    Lol 

    How different would history be if all championship series were tallied this way.

    I mean hell, golf does it. Why can’t the other sports?

    🤣

    This is no doubt true in our world of widespread ignorance. But they were never going to pay Leach. To suggest otherwise is fatuous at best. Leach underestimated how petty and self destructive (and destructive of what they professed to defend) the people who ostensibly want the best for Tech were willing to be. He may have been happier in the final analysis; he received better treatment elsewhere once he got back into coaching.

    Things had soured, no doubt.

    But I cannot say with certainty that had he served the suspension that a firing would still have occurred.

    It wasn’t a both sides issue, and I’ve yet to see a single person that “forgets” Leach was suspended first. What people do forget to use is the word “wrongfully.” As in “Mike Leach was wrongfully suspended and subsequently wrongfully fired.” Yes, there are certain defenders of the faith in Kent Hance and Craig James’ provably false make believe and pretend bedtime stories that do indeed forget to use that word. But that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Sports bring out the stupid in everyone. After all, there are still people who believe in Mike Nifong.

    Ok, perhaps no one has forgotten.

    But I can garrandamntee you that 14 years later there are folks that have no clue whatsoever about the suspension

  14. Of course, Mike could have waited a day, and therefore still qualify for the bonus due to still being employed instead of taking Tech to court over being suspended - not fired - suspended  - which occurred first and people conveniently forget happened.

    There was dumbassery by all parties involved.
