While I am not excusing them leaving out FSU this year, the Cincy year was pretty cut and dried. As I recall, there wasn’t another major conf champ with a legit claim to top 4 and the #5 team that year was a 1-loss ND.
ND’s only loss? Cincinatti.
Great points…
Offense stagnates when the ball stops moving. Have to recognize opportunities quickly… or maybe more accurately / importantly recognize when you DONT have an opportunity and move the ball quickly.
I know everyone gets excited about guys who are capable of creating shots, but when...
This is how the herd mentality propagates. Just do it! You're missing out because you don’t know what’s good for you and you’re only hurting yourself. Nothing will change because you didn’t participate… come with us… just do it!
Glad this system is done. Hopefully we get a few good years...
It was sent to me directly via text and even though I was a bit skeptical, I bought it. I think the guy who sent it bought it too… although he won’t admit it.
I would agree with this…
Actually since it’s all about money, the playoff would fare better with the BiG and SEC teams playing more games. Therefore, the G5 and at large teams should receive the byes so we can have more games with higher tv ratings.
I believe they will appoint a playoff committee to layout the details of the playoff and establish the selection committee. The selection committee will work in conjunction with an objective oversight committee to establish the criteria and procedures for playoff selection.
The oversight...
That’s a really good point. So they need 6 votes, right? The P5 conferences and G5 reps?
I could certainly see something along the lines of that provided that the at-large is ranked in the top 20 of CFP rankings (or some sort of line / requirement). Maybe even the same for G5 so long as the...
I’ve played some reeeeaaally loooong games of monopoly with the kids but I’m not sure I could stand a 30 year game of conference realignment Risk! Hell, I may not even be around to finish it! :D
So these guys won 3 of their last four including an absolute drubbing of OK St that was even more lopsided than what Tx did in the B12 championship.
Their lone loss in their last four was by a point on the road.
They lost to Oklahoma by just 2.
They are FOUR POINTS shy of 9-3.
This is a...
I hope they’re happy for a little while at least, but I doubt it.
Unless I missed it, playoff currently has SIX protected spots; one for each P5 champ and one for the highest ranked G5. The other six are at large. The top FOUR conf champs are awarded the bye. Although i don’t expect earth...
It is not the ACC really…. Although it feels that way. We are just the next one in the crosshairs as the mindless masses cheer on the SEC and BiG in their quest for world domination.
It was the Big East… and after the dust settled and they restructured, all eyes went to the Big 12.
The Big 12...
I am not saying they would turn down an opportunity or funding. The question originally post was valid… Why is there a bowl taking a 5-7 team when one of the academies could have six wins?
I took issue with a reply that said the Bowls shouldn’t have to wait. To me, it seemed to uphold the bowl...
I saw a message from an anonymous big 12 message board prognosticator (this guy got his internet cred from a previous “I called it!” claim about prior conference moves). He claimed seven ACC teams had reached out to the big 12 to gauge interest/opportunity. GT was actually one of them in his...
Got it… but no one is held up and Army and Navy aren’t asking them to be.
They know full well what they’re doing and the potential trade off of a missed bowl game is not even on their radar this week, I’m sure.
