  1. You haven't paid much attention to how the SEC schedules. They do whatever the fuck they want, there is no rotation or format or structure. Texas A&M has played Georgia ONE TIME in 13 seasons. The SEC will continue with an 8 game schedule and we will still play OU, Texas A&M, and Arkansas every year.
  2. That was Van Buren from Mississippi State
  3. That is a hell of a national championship prediction. Ha.
  4. Using my ratings (homefield advantage considered for first round games - I used a slightly inflated figure of 3.5 points because the crowds should be rocking and weather impacts on cross-sectional games, totally ad hoc but they're my ratings so there) Those P(SF) values being highest for Texas and Penn State are what people are angry about (and probably should be). Using my compromise where the Top 4 conference champs are only guaranteed at least a home game it makes things seem more "fair" while still incentivizing conference championships:
  5. It's true about Sankey and Swarbrick, but Klatt and pretty much everyone else are significantly underestimating the benefit of the bye right now. It's weird that's they're all complaining about weaker conference champions getting byes because they're so valuable then acting like Oregon with a bye is screwed.
  6. Gross, that would be the worst possible thing to do. I'm sure it will someday be at least considered, but if I wanted to watch the NFL I would watch the NFL.
  7. He completely missed the playcall. Don't worry, dozens of idiots on the forum will be by shortly to explain how that's the QB's fault.
  8. Ha I was wondering if Boise would take the Fiesta Bowl
  9. I disagree that the 12 should be straight seeded. I think the top 4 conference champs should be guaranteed a bye OR home game because they just traveled to a CCG. So in my solution it's: 1. Oregon versus 9. Tennessee @ 8. Arizona State winner 2. Georgia versus 10. Indiana @ 7. Boise State winner 3. Texas versus 11. SMU @ 6. Ohio State winner 4. Penn State versus 12. Clemson @ 5. Notre Dame winner I completely support rewarding conference championships. They mean a lot in college football and they SHOULD mean a lot.
  10. Clemson is #16, don't confuse seed with ranking.
  11. Exactly. We all remember how the 2011 New York Giants returned the Lombardi Trophy because they lost to Washington twice and didn't play them in the playoffs. Oh wait, no we don't remember that because they didn't give a fuck after they won the championship.
  12. Finish the post. They're #12 if they're the 5th of the 5 and ranked below #11.
  13. That prediction would be based on Clemson being below #12 in the rankings but the 12th seed as an auto bid for winning the conference. So something like 9. Boise State 10. SMU 11. Alabama 12. Miami 13. Arizona State 14. Ole Miss 15. Clemson would do it.
  14. Your coach is the reason this thread derail happened. How do you neg a coach?
  15. But it's really only dropping them one spot to #5 in the rankings (jumped by Georgia). It's simply not dropping Texas or Penn State behind them for losing competitive CCGs.
  16. I'm pretty surprised that God wanted the religious school to lose but Dabo must know Him pretty well.
  17. Irrelevant here. That just means they lose by 2 instead of 3 if they make it. This is all on that kickoff.
  18. Kickoff coverage team gonna be sick for a while. If they don't get in that will be years.
  19. No they're in right now. Only way they're out is if SMU loses but still stays in front of them.
  20. No way. Overtime is their best shot to get to the playoff. Normally with the momentum and a tired defense I would agree. But not in this specific case.
  21. Alabama rooting so hard for SMU in overtime.
  22. Never mind. No run needed. Kick the PAT, Lashlee.
  23. Two timeouts, at least one run play to keep them honest
  24. If SMU scores this is one occasion where you definitely don't go for 2. Get to overtime, then if you lose that's another bullet in your chamber for arguing for an at-large berth. Tell the world that there's no way the committee can punish a team for getting to their CCG, and then one that loses in overtime to a team that is going to end up around the top 12 itself?
