I don't remember exactly....but wasn't that the year we were like third in our division, but one team ahead of us was suspended from post-season play and other team ahead of us had something weird happen that prevented them from playing in the championship game?
Miami and UNC. Miami self-banned to try and lessen coming sanctions, and UNC was already serving a ban from the NCAA.
They never do learn over there do they? There’s not a big parade for coming in 2nd.
that was the year. 2012
Close game - lost to FSU 21-15. Tech drove from the 15 out to the 37 before Tevin Washington got intercepted on a first down pass with 1:17 to go.
You make the CCGs the first round of the playoff. Winner moves on.

Pretty clear the power play going on. Why we want to play in this pond is beyond me.The B1G and SEC athletic directors are meeting in New Orleans on Feb.19th with the CFP Commissioners meeting a week later in Dallas. The article below gives a lot of detail on the various options that are being considered for the future, mostly after 2025. One excerpt from the article below.
"As part of an agreement struck last spring, the Big Ten and SEC believe they have authority over any change to the playoff format starting with the 2026 postseason, the first of a new six-year extension of the CFP. Changes for the 2025 playoff — unlikely at this point — require unanimity among the 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director."
I know we all recognize the financial strength of the B1G and SEC. I guess it concerns me that the ACC and Big 12 seemed to have relinquished their rights to at least have their input and vote count in decisions of this nature. Makes we wonder why the ACC and Big 12 are not forming their own "Alliance" to help maintain more influence in any future deliberations.
This is a pretty good read by Ross Dellenger.

Is a 14-team College Football Playoff with multi-automatic qualifiers per league possible?
I think the 3-3-2-2-1-3 is the fairest (3 Big Ten, 3 SEC, 2 ACC, 2 Big Twelve, 1 Group of 5 and 3 at large). But the SEC and Big Ten will never give up their advantage and agree to that. I think the 4-4-2-2-1-1 (4 Big Ten, 4 SEC, 2 ACC, 2 Big Twelve, 1 Group of 5 and 1 wildcard is what the Big 2 would want at the least. If Notre Dame continues in the top 14, that would mean in effect no at large teams would get in. I just don't think that is good for College Football but at this point that doesn't seem to matter. Is all about the money.The B1G and SEC athletic directors are meeting in New Orleans on Feb.19th with the CFP Commissioners meeting a week later in Dallas.

Why not just go with the top 16 teams from the AP poll after the conf champ games are played?
The portal issue has been blown up by the courts. Maybe as athletes become employees, signing contracts might provide some options to help with stability. I am honestly okay with one transfer because kids might have gotten caught in a situation where they can't play at a certain school. My hang up is the two or three transfers which means a player has no regard for anyone but themselves. When I used to hire people, those who had a resume that showed they turned over jobs every year or two were of no interest to me. But unfortunately with the win now philosophy of many coaches, ethics are out the window. I would like to think the Power 4 could agree to something but I think the SEC and Big Ten think they can grab any player they want and don't want to give up that advantage.
That will depend entirely on the courts. The National Labor Relations Board has already declared that Dartmouth basketball players are employees. They don't even receive an athletic scholarship since they are Ivy League.
I don’t think this is entirely correct, although, I do agree it will be decided by the courts. Tye responsibilities of a contractor can be determined by the contract.
