The computers say otherwise. Unless you look at a binary Win=1 Loss=0, you will notice that we only played two close games against good teams and lost each in the final 30 seconds. The other ten wins ranged from decisive to blowout.
A&M, UGA, Bama,
Ole Miss, OU, Vandy.

It seems to me that a BYU win means that the SEC will have to make do with 'only' four teams in the playoffs. There are ample reasons to say 'sorry' to number five.
Is there any rule that forbids a conference from using the playoff committee, or something like the AP poll to determine who plays in the conference championship game?
That was an unlikely and frustrating Turkey Saturday. OU, Bama, UGA we're all facing virtual elimination on the last drive of the game but the favorites went 3-0.
The PC almost always follows the computers, it is their justifications in the media that are all over the map.
The exception that proved the rule is FSU in 2023. The computers didn't know the QB was injured.
Tech got the ball back with 13 seconds on their own 20 and went right back to the short passing game. At least they tried their 2nd deep throw of the game with 7 seconds left.
Gtech with the 1 yd halfback dive on 1st down, 15 yards over DPI on 2nd, and the attempted dump off on 3rd and 10. The Jackets must think their punt return team can deliver.
What Franklin and Adams were doing was essential to getting France to join the war for the Revolution so succeed. I suspect Burns want everyone to watch his doc on Franklin.
How about Mich loses a close game ala 2006 and the talking heads demand a rematch?
Specifically because the game is on Fox, ESPN manufacturers a reason so they can broadcast it.
I think that is a potential nightmare for Notre Dame and other bubblers. I have heard if UM>OSUe the Big ten championship game will be between IU and Oregon. But then they have to put Michigan in the playoff and of course Ohio State is there too. So four BUG teams.
Then if they apply head-to-head logic, Oklahoma jumps in based on the win over Michigan. 4 SEC teams too?
This one is weak on the supporting cast. We hear barely any mention of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin ... Those men were doing things important to the Revolution. But Ken Burns, maybe he assumes that we watched his other documentaries.
I have never seen a box score like this. Starting qb attempted 9 passes. RBs 1&2 rushed 12 times. Those totals should be from 5 min left in the 2nd qtr. https://www.freeplays.com/box-score/2025/11/22/ncaaf/syracuse-vs-notre-dame/324256/
