2024 non-GT games thread

[stinger78]

So, CFP ranked teams 5, 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, and 19 all lost today. That’s B1G, SEC, SEC, B12, SEC, B12, and Indy.

Anyone else see a trend?

Weren’t you referring to the SECheat?

Yup, if the SEC ends up with a champ behind Boise St it may be possible they miss the playoff entirely. I’m saying for the B12, that scenario may already be a reality.

 

[stinger78]

If Clemson wins against SC, they should be in the playoffs. I don't see them getting left out.

They’d have to win the CG if they get there. If they don’t and the CG loser gets in, then that would be two 2-loss ACC teams. Kirkie is already setting the narrative against that happening.

Ain’t gonna happen to the SECheat.

I think it’s very unlikely the SEC champ would (or should) finish behind the B12 champ.

I had to mute one of the games today because I got tired of hearing how the SEC is a tough conference top to bottom. When ACC teams beat each other it’s because we’re bad. With SEC it’s a sign of strength.

On a related note, Clemson looks like they have evolved into a very different team than the one that lost to uga at the beginning of the year. I think they would win that game today.

College Football Playoff picks after Week 13

Find out which teams our reporters pick for the College Football Playoff following Week 13.

Lotta Miami+SMU picks in there. Indiana may have knocked the Big 10 out of 4-team land. Too bad Penn St keeps pulling crap out.

In fact all 12 of them have Miami & SMU in. Pleasantly surprised. 1 even had Clemson in at the expense of Indiana (don’t agree with that unless Clemson beats SCar by 40 and Indiana struggles mightily vs 1-10 Purdue).

Obviously a lot can change during rivalry week, but 2 ACC teams in would be a nice win for the conference, and hopefully one of them could make some noise

If Auburn wins this one, whether A&M wins or looses next week does uGA go to SEC Championship? Does anyone know how it will work?

Looks like it’s official. UGA in SEC championship. I originally put a link to the tweet by @SEC but didn’t want that ugly *** logo on this board

So, you have now:
Oregon 11-0
Ohio State 10-1
Texas 10-1
Penn State 10-1
Notre Dame 10-1
Miami 10-1
Indiana 10-1
SMU 10-1
Boise St 10-1
Army 10-1
UGAg 9-2
Tennessee 9-2
Clemson 9-2
BYU 9-2
Arizona St 9-2
Iowa St 9-2
UNLV 9-2

Who goes?

Dawgs are headed to the SEC Championship game to win another piece of hardware. This likely means they need to win 1 of the next 2 games to make the playoffs - hopefully the win comes from the SEC Championship game and not from next Friday in Athens. I'd take a 2 game losing streak preferably though.

uga loses next friday and then in the SEC championship to go to an also-ran bowl and then watch from home.

Texas, UGAg, and UT are the only 3 SECheat teams left with less than 3 losses. You see here how many teams will have to be jumped for 3-loss SECheat teams to be selected. How many will get shafted this season to feed that troll?
