THE College Football Playoff Rankings Thread [MICH,WASH,TEX,ALA]

[UTEE97 3414]

The committee wants SEC, B1G and Pac 12 represented. That's why they put two teams from B1G and Pac 12 ahead of us. If one loses, the other takes their spot. I want UGA to win so that we can take the 4th spot with an FSU loss. I don't want to give the committee an excuse to let two SEC teams in because they pass the "eye test" and "look how well Milroe is playing" and because they hate Texas.

That "committee" needs their collective asses kicked.

I meant that in the sense that it's acknowledged that even the best NFL teams are going to have a loss or two in the regular season.

With the new super conferences, I think the result is going to be that the big boys start taking a loss or two more than has been normal historically; due to the fact that they're in a conference with even more big boys (still nowhere near the parity in the NFL, obviously). With the 12 team playoff, however, having a single loss isn't going to keep any team in the new SEC or Big 10 out of the playoffs. 

In this case, from a team development standpoint, I'm thinking that scheduling a premier OOC opponent could prove beneficial down the line in the playoffs. 

why take a chance on an extra loss?  you are in a super conference already so you don't need to prove you played a tough schedule.  Oregon doesn't.

one loss you are in, 2 losses is borderline. you get punished severely for the OOC loss and no real benefit if you win.  If I see it actually mean something I'd agree with you.

Texas' win over Alabama and the fact that they should have lost to Auburn is enough to keep them behind Texas if Texas wins.

Yes, the committee and the tv networks really hate the idea of Texas being in it.    / eye roll.

Stop looking for conspiracies.   We didn't play great for about a month, we lost to OU who then proceeded to lose twice, we have been shitty for a decade (so get no benefit of the doubt), and we got unlucky that there are so many zero loss/ 1 loss teams this year.

To be fair I'm not sure the Pac 12 is as good as the love they are getting.  Oregon beat Tech by 38-30 and only because of a late turnover.  No one in that conference played anyone OOC.  So the only thing that makes them look strong is they all won their OOC games and then just played each other.  Everyone is just ignoring that nobody in that conference played any tough non OOC games. I think the Pac12 could be fools gold and you could see whoever from there that gets in get smoked in the playoff.

History says the CFP has been won by a team on their 3rd string QB. I am not about leaving an undefeated team out due to QB injury.

Yeah Texas fans shouldn’t throw stones about winning ugly with a backup. Lol

It’s obvious the Big 12 gets no respect and that’s why we are leaving. 11-1 and ranked 7th. It’s so obvious there’s 3 spots for the Pac-12, SEC and B1G champs by default. And Big 12 and ACC have to duke out a fourth spot. Fuck this stupid conference and good riddance. 

If it was already 2024, we’d be 4th or 5th in the rankings with our SEC credentials.

agreed but Coach Prime!

Lanning playing Ga at any point will have some advantage(and yes it could work in reverse a bit but usually advantage to former coach).  My bet would be that FSU is 4 and they wouldn't face until Champ game if they can get by Mich.

Besides the entertainment and $'s associated with a big game early in the season, I think it does make the team better (which hopefully increases the odds of winning the "easier" conference games the rest of the year).  Kids/coaches are more motivated over the spring/summer when you know you have an early game with Bama/Michigan/Etc..  Playing a good team early can also highlight deficiencies that a cupcake may not expose.   With the 12 team playoff, I think these games make more sense going forward than they have historically.

 Nike (120 Deals)

Industry: Apparel/Footwear | Portfolio Percentage: 25% | NCAA Brand Affinity: 3.12x

Notable Partners: Duke University, Ohio State University, University of Georgia, University of Oregon, University of Texas

Nike has partnered with 120 colleges and universities as the primary apparel/footwear provider of the athletic teams. According to data from SportsAtlas, Nike pays at least 25 colleges north of $1.83M annually to have its equipment used by schools’ athletes. Nike’s most expensive recorded partnerships are with Ohio State University ($16.8M/year) and the University of Texas ($16.7M/year). Nike has activated on social with 25 schools over the past few months with many of the posts promoting the brand’s Air Pegasus 37 collaboration.

Apparently the only team in the country with a more lucrative deal with Nike is the Dallas Cowboys. We are second and the Yankees are 3rd.

Me too. I keep hearing people say "Oregon would beat up on FSU if they played". Based on what? The backup settled in and played a nice game against Florida.

 

We have an actual real life example of a team winning it all on their 3rd string QB but we wanna leave an undefeated team out of the final 4 because one guy got hurt? Fuck everything about that. They beat Louisville, they earned it.

settled in?

settled in?!

FSU was 8th percentile on yards per play, 15th percentile on success rate,  29th percentile on yards/dropback, and 19th percentile on 3rd down success rate.

Texas lost a game in 2014 to KSU 23-0. Tyrone Swoopes went 13/25 for 106 yards and he STILL had a higher QBR (46.8) than Rodemaker did.

Rodemaker was terrible in that game and FSU was incredibly lucky that they were playing FEI's #75 defense. now they have Louisville who is #21 next and is a significantly better defense.

...he was 5/12 for 62 yards in the 2nd half.

he absolutely did not "settle in"

I have zero love for the Noles, but this is correct. You simply can't leave an undefeated P5 conference champ out of the playoffs no matter how they got there or who is injured.

[BB65 476]

Best option for Texas is for all four 12-0 teams to lose this weekend.

[texastough 1128]

In a year where 8 teams have a legit argument to be in the top 4, the driving factor for the committee will be c.y.a. pure and simple. In other words, they will go with the only defensible rankings:

a) undefeated P5 teams are in

b) 1-loss conference champions are in over any other 1-loss teams

The committee will catch so much heat if they put in a non conference champion over a conference champion. This means that with an Iowa or Louisville win, TX is in. (And TX should be in with an Oregon win but I don't think we will jump Oregon). I think the only fuckery that could occur is with a Bama win -- in that case I think Bama jumps us because they are not leaving out the SEC champ.

Any other scenarios aren't worth the mental energy

Dude, you can break down the backup QB all you want. He's a backup QB in his first game. It was a rivalry game. They won. Who cares.
