Committe loves them some fucking Miami for whatever reason. 

I guess it benefits SMU for them to be as high as possible. 

It's hilarious.  they talk about how well Tulane is playing and ignore that Miami was gifted 2-3 wins early by refs.  ACC proving it was well worth it.

I really hop we are on Miami's side of the draw.  They are in a pickle as they want to give Big 10 champ loser of UO/OSU the 5 seed but that puts them on the same side of the bracket.

Here is another scenario.  OSU beats UO in another close game.  Could they both get a bye?

No you have to be a conference champ.

I'm pretty sure at one point over the past 25 years, FCS teams were left out of SOS calculations.  Is that still the case?  It seems like the SEC teams SOS is not being penalized for that.

Also, the definition of a "top 25" win is stupid.  If you beat Vanderbilt, ranked 25, and they fall out of the poll, it's no longer a top 25 win.  It's not a good proxy for SOS at all.

They talk about our “weak SEC schedule” offering, but we beat the teams that beat the teams that are doing all the politicking!

SEC SEC SEC!!!!

Hook’em!!!

When we played Michigan, we were the one going on the road facing the reigning National Champions, with a 20+ home game winning streak. All the media drooled about the matchup during the week leading up to the game. Michigan even had their returning RB on the same NCAA-25 game cover as Ewers.

Once we beat the shit out of them and obviously pulled the brakes in the 2nd half, instead of scoring 50+, the narrative changed on them. Michigan didn’t start to “SUCK” until we exposed them!

Hook’em!!!

Honest question …Is that really how they are calculating that?  It’s bullshit if so, top 25 wins should be against teams still in the top 25.

Am I the only one note even remotely upset by where Ole Miss and Alabama are ranked? 

Would you rank shitty 9-2 teams like BYU, ASU, Tulane, and Iowa State above them? Teams that would have more losses with the same schedule. 

I agree. If the top Big XII teams were 1 loss it would be different but both conferences are beating each other up and sec gets the edge.

Michigan, OU, and Vanderbilt were all ranked the day we played them. Two on the road and one at a 50/50 neutral site game.

Hook’em!!!

Stolen from CFPnews:

How can Alabama get in at 9-3 - assuming a win over Auburn work it's way in? Here's the path ...

1. Bama DESTROYS Auburn

And then at least three of these four things have to happen.

2. Georgia loses to Georgia Tech, loses SEC Championship to Texas

3. Notre Dame loses to USC - ugly

4. Vandy beats Tennessee

5. SMU faceplants against Cal

Or, 6. the College Football Playoff committee invokes the "... because it's Alabama" clause.

Win Saturday and seems like we are pretty much locked into the 2 seed with an SEC championship win or 6 seed with a loss.   Lose Saturday, a lot depends on whether or not any upsets (and how we lose) but we may be fighting TN for that 8/9 slot and a home game.  They would have the better win and a worse loss.  But we have a ton of common opponents and should win that analysis pretty easily regardless of their outcome with Vandy.

Not necessarily. If Ohio state beats Oregon it would most likely be this:

 

1 Ohio State

5 Oregon

6 Penn St

7 Texas

 

I Think our max is 2 with SEC championship

I would be pretty shocked if the committee jumped PSU over Texas after taking a loss in the SEC championship game while PSU sat on their ass at home. If we win Saturday I think either 2 or 6 slot depending on outcome of SEC championship is all but set in stone.

Other than Texas, Clemson and South Carolina…does anyone have a chance to improve on all 3 metrics this week?

Does aggy stay ranked if they lose?

Exactly. 2 and 7 lineup in those Bowl quarterfinals. Im sure Sugar Bowl committee would be psyched to get Georgia trying to 99 Jaguars us. But if only 3 SEC teams are in they'll slot at 2, 6 and 9 to have a shot at 3 teams in the Semis

Championship game on the 20th of January. What a time to be alive.

The first 12 Superbowls were wraped up between the 9th and 18th of January prior to adding wild card weekend. SB13 through SB35 were still all in January.

College was done on Jan 1 except for all star games at one time back in the 80s.

It is pretty wild but I'll never be upset at the offseasons being shorter!

So if Ohio State loses to Michigan Saturday and to Oregon again they still make the playoffs? That's lame as fuck tbh.

This 12 team playoff actually seems way shittier than just expanding it to 8. We will see how it plays out though it could be cool to have a 9-12 ranked team make a deep run, although I don't think there will ever be a case where one of the top 4 doesn't win.

Thinking it’s based on the sec/big second place team is guaranteed a seat at the table

IMO the byes is what makes it seem so shitty. Expand the bitch to 16 with no byes. Far better....top 8 seeds host 1st round. The byes make it to where seeding is all fucked and stupid.

They would lose to Michigan and Pedo State or Indiana would go face the Ducks not the Suckeyes.

The byes are the only thing keeping the conference championship games alive and no doubt you will get continued commentary around cancelling those regardless.  I'm coming around to the idea of an expanded 16 team playoff and pod system in SEC/BIG where last 2 weeks of regular season effectively become conference playoff.  4 pod winners advance (other 2 seeds play 2 seeds, etc) and mini 4 team SEC/BIG playoff for seeding where all 4 teams that win their pod are guaranteed a spot.  Then your 2 seeds still playing for potential at large spots.  Lots of details/logistics to work out with that model but it seems to have potential.   As the current conference championship game with unbalanced schedules and crazy tiebreakers (with coaches already publicly questioning whether it's worth it) may not last much longer.

I mean look at PSU.  They get another cakewalk this week then get to rest of for a guaranteed home playoff game.

Networks are whats keeping the CCGs alive IMO. They want that extra game because they generally bring big ratings. 

In the 16 team format it would be auto bids to the CCG participants to ensure the CCG still means something.  BIG/SEC are pushing for 4 autos moving forward.

Championship games are 100% money grabs.  That is obvious.  But if you take away the potential for a bye they are done.  An auto bid (without a bye) would mean absolutely nothing in the BIG/SEC as the conference champ is already getting a playoff bid.

They're "pushing" rope, right now. The SEC may not even get 4 teams in this cycle if merit matters and chalks win out. The 4 autobid thing makes a lot more sense with 16 teams.

Yeah it's pretty crazy, they won a lot of games by a cunt hair at the very end. 

They are going to get smacked in the mouth by SMU.

Actually what is more bullshit is Indiana.

Hosting an opening round playoff game is easy. This is the simplest 16 model that would be best for everyone:

P4 CCG participants get Autobids

A potential 16 team format using guesses on CCG participants + current CFP rankings

I read this as there is a 2% chance that OSU loses to Michigan bad enough AND enough other teams don't lose for it to matter

That is if Syracuse doesn't beat them this weekend. Syracuse +11 seems like a fucking lock to me given its in New York in damn near December.

It's really dumb for a conference to shoot one of it's top teams in the dick right before the playoffs.  Knocking that team down in the standings also really hurts your bubble teams.  That's what is going to get the conference championship games done away with.

This is less true now than anytime in the history of football.

Texas and Georgia would both be getting top 6 seeds if they win out.  Instead one of them is going to get dinged because they lost the conference championship game.  The same thing will happen to Oregon and Ohio St.  That's not the in the best interest of the conferences.
