    The ACC and Big 12 will likely revolt if the committee keeps out a P4 champ that isn’t one of the P2. They’ll just drop them in as the 12 seed 

    Looked it up, it’s the 5 highest ranked conference champions that get auto bids. 

    So b1g and sec locked into 1 & 2.

    Assuming BSU wins out and wins the mwc. 

    Smu locked up their acc game birth. Miami gets in with a win over cuse. If that’s the game the winner will be the 3 seed. If cause wins then Clemson plays smu. There’s a scenario where Miami loses to cuse next week, Clemson loses to South Carolina, and then beats smu where a 3 loss Clemson wins the acc. 

    The b12 still has a lot of scenarios where a team could end up winning with 3 losses. None of the teams in the mix (cu, byu, asu, isu) play each other next week. 

    AAC championship game is already set for army(19) vs Tulane(20).

    sec

    then the top 2 of

  2. Psu punting from their end zone with 1:00 left in the half, minny gets a hand in the punt, start their drive at the 20 yard line. 1st play flea flicker hits the te uncovered in the end zone 

    17-10 minny

    Lagway is much, much better than I thought he would be. He can’t run right now and he’s shredding Ole Miss. 

    pff rates him as the best qb on throws over 20 yards.

    Remember, all of these folks who voted MAGA wanted to "drain the swamp."  So, obviously, the best way to do that is to set up a naked pay-to-play scheme where the super-rich trade monetary benefits granted to the president in exchange for positions of power.  Yep, that's how you root out corruption and such -- you make it the norm and the openly stated method of entry into government.

    All of those people will believe that he drained the swamp because he’ll tell them he did. And that’s all the proof they need.

    The one thing that's really irking me, right now, is that Penn State and or IU are heavy favorites to get the semi prestigious fifth seed, without having beaten anybody.

    Neither will actually get the 5 seed unless it’s IU after beating osu & losing to Oregon in the championship game. The 5 seed will go to b1g championship game loser, the 6 seed will go to texas if they lose the sec championship game or psu if texas wins the sec because they and ND would be the only ones left with only 1 loss, and PSUs loss not being a bad loss. ND/3 loss sec championship loser get 7 & 8.

    "pedder is texas" works

    it shuts down anyone anywhere

    if we're at risk, why isn't pedder?

    pedder has 1 loss to a top-10 team

    texas has 1 loss to a top-10 team

    same SoS as Texas

    Texas has destroyed the opponent in 7 of our 9 wins (4 P4, 3 G5)

    pedder has destroyed the opponent in 3 of their 9 wins (2 P4, 1 G5)

    Texas is not at risk with one loss. Not even a little bit. And neither is Penn state with 1 loss. I’m also counting Texas with a second loss coming in the sec championship game in that. Texas with a loss to aggy is at risk, psu with a loss to Minnesota is probably out. 

    The committee has shown that the number of losses a team has is the first criteria. Then all of the other factors like quality wins and strength of schedule come into play. 

    The talking heads and fans of 2 loss sec teams are taking the approach of just ranking teams based on the eye test in their biggest game. That allows the 2 loss teams to ignore their multiple losses, their bad losses, the shit ooc games in November. It all comes down to how good is your best win and nothing else, because then they’d have to accept that one of the 2 loss sec teams is going to be left out, and there are arguments for all of them to be left out. 

    If the chalk holds, the only decision beyond seeding is 1 loss Indiana vs 2 loss Tennessee.

    I think teams with permanent big program OOC rivals should get a little credit, too. USC/ND, SCAR/Clemson, FSU/Florida off the top of my head. 

    I’ll give you USC. Having LSU & ND ooc is legit. Even ND makes sure they have a few marquee games on top of the shit they pack in there. 

    The other ones, they definitely get some credit for sure. But those games mean shit often enough that they go into that 3rd group with LSU.

    I did feel kind of upset that an undefeated G5 (Liberty) could be excluded, although in that case I didn't actually think they were capable of hanging with the four selected teams and (like FSU) they got exposed in bowl season.

    The closest a G5 team was ever going to get was 2017 UCF. Only undefeated team, 2 wins over top 25 teams. Showed they could hang by beating #7 in the peach bowl. But there was no way bama, uga, ok, or Clemson were going to be left out for ucf even though they were the only one without a loss. B1g didn’t even get a team in that year because osu had 2 losses and then gave wisc their only loss in the b1g championship game.
