The Big 12 is fucking awful
Lol, Big XII doesn’t have enough Boston Colleges or Wake Forests’ for Notre Dames’ taste. They couldn’t even nut up to play BYU.

University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million
So if the athletic department becomes a for profit entity how can they still pretend that the athletes aren’t employees? Everything is now private and for profit…except the primary labor input. The farce needs to end. They are paid employees, should be allowed to unionize, and enter into a CBA.

I’m so glad they did that symbolic vote. Symbolic af. Just dropping in symbolism. I’m shocked I tells ya.

Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed too. It makes no sense. I bet cooler heads would have prevailed if given more time.- Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
I mean we already did that, after the philly and kc wins I allowed myself an ounce of hope before it all crashed letting detroit abuse us and finding out that philly and kc are actually kind of shitty.- What’s Your Preferred Playoff Format?
I'm on board with 24 and including top 2 G5 champs (or top 6 ranked conference champs). Those last teams will usually be legitimately within, or close enough to, the top 24 that it won't be such a drastic drop from Miami to Tulane/JMU and won't exclude those in between which seems to be the biggest issue with this year's bracket. It would also make them earn the first round win to play a top 8 team. It also solves the opt-out issue since there won't be top 25 teams playing meaningless bowl games with opt-outs and gives the people more meaningful football during the holiday season. I'd also do away with the CCGs, although it might make sense for the G5 conferences to make their rivalry week slate flexible to match their top two teams for a defacto championship game and to boost their SOS to the extent possible within the G5 context.- University of Utah nearing landmark private equity deal expected to generate $500 million
Why don't they just get themselves a billionaire cookie guy?- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I guess I’ll add the obvious reasoning too, it would make qualifying for the CCG a detriment. That said, I’m for doing away with the CCGs because they’ve gotten stupid and largely meaningless (in the grand scheme, IU winning is kinda cool but that’s indivualized and not all that helpful to the system). We knew mega conferences and unequal scheduling would be a problem but it’s gone full absurd right off the bat. A four way tie for two spots in the SEC CCG, and a five way tie for the second spot in the ACC CCG resulting in a 5 loss champion and a non CCG participant from that league in the playoff. In conference SOS was the tiebreaker being something that is entirely out of the teams control. If someone had predicted this scenario last year or the year before they’d sound hysterical and over the top. Award conference trophy on record and tiebreakers and expand the playoff.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
It’s really, really fucking simple. CCGs can affect seeding but a loss won’t exclude you if you were in before the CCG. Only real issue is they should have dropped to 10 if for no other reason than to prevent the two rematches.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
Bama finshed the regular season at the top of the SEC after the tiebreakers, hence why they were the home team in the CCG. OU was the fifth team becasue they had two regular season conference losses. They were safely in the field because they beat Michigan in the non confererence game (hence how big noncon matchups can help if you win). Bama was never going to be left out when they had to play UGA because of tiebreakers and Ole Miss and aggy with the same conference record weren't forced to risk anything. Ole Miss especially, if they got blown out days after the coaching change fiasco, they might possibly be excluded, but they got to sit at home and deal with that situation because their SEC SOS was lower than Bamas and UGA's.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
LOL, what a fuckin mess. App State got the Birmingham Bowl spot and it’ll be a Sunbelt rematch of a conference game vs Ga Southern who beat App State 25-23 a month ago.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
Because Miami beat them which I guess wasn't part of their agreement.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Bama was in the field before the CCG and they weren't going to be excluded for a third loss in that game while Ole Miss and aggy with the same pre CCG conference record sat home safely because of a convoluted 4-way SEC tiebreaker. BYU was already out of the field before the CCG and it was widely known they had to win to move up into the field.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
Nah the ACC has far bigger problems than whether a few of them play ND in any given year. The bigger problem would be for ND having to add 5 new opponents on short notice in a world where most P4 noncon schedules are set multiple years out. They also just set fire to their reputation and could prevent big names from scheduling them even if they could rearrange their existing contracts.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I mean they’ve been melting down for years now and directing their ire at people, at least the computer is what it is and can’t be accused of its own bias (programming maybe but everyone would have agreed to the programming). One solution is for programs who get left out to stop overreacting like little bitches every year. Sitting out a bowl game is as bad as it’s been, fuck ND and their pansy ass admins. Even FSU put out a team a few years ago after being decimated by the portal and opt outs.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
Let me introduce you to OKST 2018. Beat No. 17 Boise State, No. 5 Texas, No. 7 WVU, and lost to No. 6 OU by one point in Norman 47-48. Lost to everyone else in the bottom half of the conference standings (Baylor, TCU, KSU, Tech). All with a former walkon at QB. Beat No. 24 Mizzou in the Liberty Bowl.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
Wasn’t the ACC 2nd place tiebreaker the same as what the SEC used in its first place tiebreaker? Conference opponent sos? Considering conference rankings should be based on conference activity it makes as much sense as possible in the new ridiculous world of mega conferences and unequal conference scheduling. Miami lost to now unranked SMU and Louisville. Fuck them, one good noncon win doesn’t undo those losses. Not to mention using CFP rankings to break ties is just giving the committee that everyone is hating on so much today more power and influence.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
It would seem that with ai and other advances a BCS type formula could be far improved than the prior iteration. The big question is how to agree on how to program it and how to weigh certain things like noncon games or conference games with unequal scheduling. UT’s beef is the tOSU loss. Should the computers disregard it entirely or give it a weight? Should the weight be on a sliding scale? A noncon loss to the No. 2 team should be less detrimental than to the No. 10 team, or No. 20, or No. 25, etc., but it likely cannot be ignored entirely. Would admins and conferences agree to the computer weighing wins over FCS very lightly or possibly ignoring them altogether? How about computer rankings set the bracket and a committee is formed with the sole job of determining if other factors require an adjustment and the vote must be unanimous to alter the computer ranking and explained on paper in a professional manner like a legal brief or arbitrators decision instead of putting some jagoff on camera to yammer away like a dolt.- Tell Me About Notre Dame
The ACC damages itself by having a 5 loss champion. That alone should have excluded Miami. I don’t care if ND, Texas, BYU, or Vandy got the spot, they all deserved it over any ACC team.- The CFP ruined college football.
I imagine most 5 win teams shut things down last week.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
