  1. Oh and intrigue met. Tulane has scored more on the road than aggy did at home.
  2. Part of the problem is that when they were concocting the rules for this shit and came up with the 5 highest rated conference champion autobid rule there were....5 "Power" conferences
  3. Hasn't that premise ALWAYS been true. There have always been white males on the "losing side" of things. We still probably had a better chance to win starting out than others did. I do agree it's hard for most to take the premise of white privilege on faith if you can't point to a real, concrete example of it in your life. That doesn't mean it didn't exist for you, though.
  4. Agree, but the only real solution is to tell anybody not in the P4 to fuck off unless you have a team ranked in the top 12(and probably Notre Dame that they ahem need to join one of those P4 conferences). They won't, though and I suspect that will eventually lead to the SEC and B1G telling them all to fuck off and going and doing their own NFL style thing.
  5. They did rectify that rule after last year. Otherwise Tulane would have had a bye this year. Boise State got the bye last year as they were the 3rd highest rated conference champion (even higher than ASU). We were rated 3rd but got bumped down to 5 seed by Boise and ASU. This year top 4 rated teams overall get the bye regardless of conference champion status.
  6. They would have to eliminate the conference champion rule. I think most here miss that all the committee does is rank the teams and then the rules the CFP Managers put in place and approve then sorts the rankings into the rules to give us the bracket. So yeah there was a comment about sorting by losses, and the committee could do better with that in their rankings, BUT even if they did that, Tulane probably still here getting their ass whipped by somebody because that's the rules (which sort the 5 highest rated conference champions into autobid spots). All the committee could have done to avoid JMU is rank Duke higher than them and then Duke and Tulane are in the playoffs.
  7. A CFP committee chaired by a piggy put together this slop. Oink, oink, color me shocked.
  8. I mean we could have matched up Miami and aggy in a bowl game where nothing was on the line for the winner?
  9. JMU took an autobid spot as the 5th highest rated conference champion you fucking drunk. Say Virginia wins then they are in, JMU is out and guess what it STILL comes down to Miami or Notre Dame for the 7th at large spot.
  10. No extra at large spot was cost. There are 5 conference champion spots. 5 were taken. Just happens that the ACC did not take one of them.
  11. All that is left is the intrigue of whether Tulane will score more points on the road than aggy did at home.
  12. I realize they changed it up a bit this year but you do realize the first round last year gave us all four semi-finalists? I realize they changed it up a bit this year but you do realize the first round last year gave us all four semi-finalists?
  13. Not too sure about that. This game and the next one are horseshit.
  14. This is what both those dork fanbases for crowing at us so much about being in the CFP AFTER we whipped both of their asses
  15. So like OU all aggy has to look back on is a pathetic playoff showing and a loss to Texas
  16. Why yes, yes there will be
  17. POOOOOOOOOOR AGGY
  18. Welp 4 more plays
  19. Here come the Big 12 refs
  20. Reed YOLO throw here?
  21. Under normal circumstances, yes. Here with the kicking shit show take the points and trust the D
  22. Ok D don't blow this
