  1. yes, that is one of the wins from the draw other thoughts on groups that are set: group c - morocco/scotland for 2nd group e - coteivoire/ecuador for 2nd group g - group of life - beligium walks group h - group of rest - uruguay and spain start the bottom 11 in the first game since they both open with walks group j - group of life 2 - austria might hold argentina to 3 or 4 group l - group of partial death - england gets the hardest draw (pending playoff winners) the announcement of the venues and kick times will determine the fate of the europeans- indoor vs. noon outside
  2. need to see the playoff winners to assess, but at first blush there are no groups of death, and at least 1 group of life (belgium's group)
  3. absolutely not wasting time to even turn the tv on for a fifa shitfest and iirc on a/b/d will have any certainty today all the other groups will simply be the draw - no venues confirmed - no times confirmed
  4. and i have a way to do that in 5 rounds with a system that takes account of all of the weirdness that's evolved since 1978 copypasta from wulaw/9-3 +++ below is the new australian Final 10 system which debuts next year in the case of the cfp, it would become a Final 16 system - double the bracket - it takes 5 rounds of games and requires KILLING THE BOWLS the committee still seeds the field, but there is the possibility of a double-chance for the seeded top 8 also, there is a new domer (& uconn) rule: they can't play in a qualifying final and they can't host in the first round - they can be seeded no higher than 9th after "championship saturday" just like this year where 2 teams are going to automatically 'move up' to 11 & 12 on sunday, undefeated and #1 domer automatically moves down to #9 for final seeding the first week labeled "wildcard" would be all of the CCGs ++PLUS++ 8 'wildcard' play-in games in each p4 league where 3 hosts 6 and 4 hosts 5 3/4/5/6 winners ARE NOT guaranteed a spot in the 16-team field but can make their case with the extra data point P4 CCG winners get to host a Qualifying Final with the opportunity to WIN against another top 8 seed and EARN a bye the following week & the losers of these games (1/8 2/7 3/6 4/5) are not out - the aussies call this "the double chance" it is therefore possible for a CCG loser to win away from home playing a CCG winner, and if the CCG lower wins the 1st round game on a CCG winner's camput, the CCG loser advances AND earns a bye, while the CCG winner that lost it's 1st round game at home IS STILL ALIVE this INCREASES the value of the CCG results but DOES NOT penalize the outcome for CCG losers i've never seen a system proposed that does both of these... rephrased.... ***ONLY*** the CCG winners and 4 other teams (seeded 5/6/7/8) get the double chance - a CCG loser could get a double chance - a CCG loser could also be seeded 9-16 and a non-CCG participant could be seeded 5/6/7/8 and get the double chance NOTE that only the winner of 4 of the 8 games in the first round earn a bye and get to skip a week - the loser of 4 of the first 8 games eliminated seeding: week 1: the Qualifying and Elimination Finals with the 16-team field, no guarantees beyond the P4 CCG winners and losers (8 teams) getting in P4 CCG losers get seeded with the rest of the field - a conference play-in 3/4/5/6 winner might nab one of the qualifying finals and play away with a double chance, or they might be seeded 9/10/11/12 and host a playoff game but if they lose they are out the 3/4/5/6 'championship saturday' winners might get in to the field - but they might not - although a 3/4/5/6 winner is likely to get in 8 ccg winners/losers and 6 of 8 winners from the 3/4/5/6 'playoffs' would leave 2 slots reserved for the G5 and/or domer in the final 16 there would be 12 games on championship saturday - it would be like new year's day in the 20th century this system gives 24 teams meaningful december football, and 14-16 of them are going to be playing in round 1 KILL THE BOWLS it's no longer the "Football Bowl Subdivision" remember - double this graphic - and the 'wildcard' round is the 3/6 and 4/5 intra-conference final data-point games on championship saturday - and the ccg games are themselves not shown either - the wildcard round is 'championship saturday'
  5. this looks beautiful... and it only takes 5 rounds... but the CCG losers are out and the b1g and sec won't go for that
  6. dude they have a standing offer
  7. cool domer should sue the rig12 tomorrow for having 0 games contracted to play domer
  8. and everyone is free not to play them if they are not in the acc goes both ways
  9. why not? boycott, embargo, whatever they still get to play acc teams it would then be down to your conference to hold the line and not schedule them yormark should like that - the rig could be the hero
  10. anwar asking snakey just now about us snakey: 16 eligible to start, there is a path for teams with multiple losses, sec presents to the committee weekly, sec has 7 sec feels should be considered, all of sec differences should be considered in comparison to others presser ended
  11. All of these teams were in the same "NCAA Division" prior to 1978 and were Independent in 1950: Army Boston College Boston University Brown Butler Bulldogs Colgate Columbia Cornell Dartmouth Drexel Duquesne Fordham Franklin & Marshall Georgetown Harvard Holy Cross John Carroll Loyola Marymount Marquette Miami (FL) Michigan State Montana Grizzlies Navy Notre Dame Pacific Penn State Pittsburgh (Pitt) Princeton Rutgers San Francisco San Jose State Santa Clara Syracuse Temple Thiel Toledo Villanova Yale
  12. the opponents in the following games would need to cancel these games in a joint press release: 2026: wisconsin, michigan state, purdue, usc 2027: purdue, michigan state, auburn 2028: texas, arkansas, purdue, auburn 2029: alabama, texas 2030: indiana, alabama 2031: indiana, florida 2032: florida 2033: michigan 2034: michigan by conference (number of games): b1g: indiana (2), michigan (2), michigan state (2), purdue (3), usc (1), wisconsin (1) sec: alabama (2),, arkansas (1), auburn (2), florida (2), Texas (2) summary: b1g: 6 teams, 11 games sec: 5 teams, 9 games rig12: 0 games scheduled acc/g5: not listed, not relevant domer and uconn are the only 2 fbs independents
  13. i ran out of edit time, the text above week 0 should read like this: ***ONLY*** the CCG winners and 4 other teams (seeded 5/6/7/8) get the double chance - a CCG loser could get a double chance - a CCG loser could also be seeded 9-16 and a non-CCG participant could be seeded 5/6/7/8 and get the double chance NOTE that only the winner of 4 of the 8 games in the first round earn a bye and get to skip a week - the loser of 4 of the first 8 games eliminated
  14. this is the new australian Final 10 system which debuts next year in the case of the cfp, it would become a Final 16 system - double the bracket - it takes 5 rounds of games and requires KILLING THE BOWLS the first week labeled "wildcard" would be all of the CCGs ++PLUS++ the 'wildcard' play-in games in each league where 3 hosts 6 and 4 hosts 5 3/4/5/6 winners ARE NOT guaranteed a spot in the 16-team field but can make their case with the extra data point P4 CCG winners get to host a Qualifying Final with the opportunity to WIN against another top 8 seed and EARN a bye the following week - the aussies call this "the double chance" ***ONLY*** the CCG winners get the double chance week 0: the CCGs and the P4 play-ins week 1: the Qualifying and Elimination Finals with the 16-team field, no guarantees beyond the P4 CCG winners and losers (8 teams) getting in P4 CCG losers get seeded with the rest of the field - a conference play-in 3/4/5/6 winner might nab one of the cfp 5/6/7/8 seeds that host a playoff game - and they might not - the 3/4/5/6 winners might get in - but they might not - although a 3/4/5/6 winner is likely to get in - 8 ccg winners/losers and 6 of 8 winners from the league 3/4/5/6 playoffs would leave 2 slots reserved for the G5 and/or domer if they are in the final 16 adding a 6th round makes it possible to go to 24 and have a system where every "FBS" G5 conference winner gets in KILL THE BOWLS it's no longer the "Football Bowl Subdivision"
  15. a b1g 4-loss team is highly unlikely in the below model from the article supported by everyone but the b1g.... "In its place, many SEC coaches publicly supported a 16-team format with a bigger at-large pool — a 5+11 concept that kept in existence the five auto bids for conference champions and added four more at-large spots. Other league officials jumped on board with that plan as well, including the Big 12, ACC and commissioners from the non-power FBS conferences. However, the Big Ten’s resistance for any format with so few automatic qualifiers has stymied conversations and paused any decision."
