Shouldn’t happen but might. national champs don’t get blown out by 6 loss Purdue
-
If I had to bet money on a game I might agree. But that’s not the question here. It’s who earned a shot or lost enough to forfeit a shot. They beat everyone on their schedule and if you drop 2+ I’d prefer an unbeaten get a shot.
-
And if they are up against teams that failed twice (potentially by big margins) they’d at minimum warrant heavy consideration if unbeaten.
-
If they are up against a bunch of two loss teams I’d argue for them to get a shot even in the current setup.
-
So let’s expand the playoff and let these unbeatens potentially get their butts kicked on the field instead of the selection room.
-
Better idea- expand to eight teams in the playoff and see how a football version of Butler, Villanova, or Gonzaga holds up.
-
I agree but until you lose you deserve a shot IMO.
-
That’s what I saw reported. Plausible because: 1- Guys can dramatically alter their 40 time with a better start. So even if it’s a 4.8 total time he could be cruising like a guy with a 4.5-4.6 time over the final 30 yards if his start was really sloppy 2- He’s a guy that was more of a bruiser than a burner.
-
1- You use a game from last year because the only P5 they played this year (and destroyed btw) is Pitt who won the ACC coastal division. Not a bad win but far from a top 6 game. Last year provides an example of a team you’d write off beating a legit P5 opponent. 2- People are giving UCF the argument for inclusion for one reason- they are unbeaten. If they slip up once 99% of people arguing for them reverse course.
-
Most BU fans expected a shootout. Team was sloppy with tons of offensive penalties with false starts aplenty. Took the running game out of it and turned a probable shootout into a comfortable win for UCF. When bu needed short yards on the ground UCF never stopped them but BU kept putting themselves in passing downs. Rumors still fly that many players thought Briles was gone to UT after Mack was fired and had been out drinking the night before as a result. Would explain the record penalty numbers but UCF was very good.
-
I’d give them more than a shot against OU, Ohio State, ND, and Wazzu given some of the teams that either beat them or came close. UCF has a light schedule but that’s a solid team at worst with a dangerous offense. Would I bet on them to win vs the top 6? Maybe not. Do they deserve a shot if they go unbeaten? Yes. we need an eight team playoff
-
Ask 2017 SEC West Champion Auburn about that
-
Campbell was only a 4.8 guy in the 40 but good luck getting him down on the first hit
-
Only issue with that is an unbeaten G5 getting hosed in the rankings. I’d rather see UCF get a shot than see another team that lost multiple times and didn’t even win their division or league. for instance last year UCF is left out in favor of 3 loss Auburn and 2 loss USC and SC got slaughtered by Nd.
-
Expand the playoff to 8. Give non-binding preference to P5 champs and all unbeatens assuming they at least tried to schedule more than one P5. Most years it would act like an autobid but you won’t have 4 loss “champions” like this year’s northwestern team, 2005 FSU, etc squeezing deserving teams out. Then we’d be debating whether the Michigan-tOSU loser, the OU/WV loser, or the SEC runner up gets in as #8 instead of debating which ones to screw over out of 1 loss champs from the B1G/B12/PAC or unbeaten UCF. This setup solves basically every year except 2007 & 2008 out of the last 30.

He’s arguably the best NFL Nose Tackle prospect in the Patterson years. They’ve had tons of good edge guys and scrappy interior guys but few true war daddies. Big testament to them being able to find guys who fit what they want to do and coaching them up.

Rice is the only school I know of in FBS that can fit their entire living alumni base (estimated 60,000) in their stadium. (70,000 capacity overall but they’ve added tarps to cap it at 45,000 recently) Apply that, the lack of any winning brand outside of baseball, and that both Baylor and Tech have more Houston alumni to guess at their market share and it’s not going to be anywhere close to the other former SWC schools. SMU and UH have far more drawing power. I like Rice but I’d be shocked if they moved to any P5 league any time soon.

And LHN’s money is backloaded with a 3% increase per year after starting at 10.98 million in year one. By the time the late 2020s rolls around LHN will be throwing off north of 18mm.

Makes sense -
It baffles me how a team like Florida can be so bad at offense. With how much talent is in Florida high schools. This isn't some rinky dink school in Florida. They used to be great on offense. And ever since 2009, they've been crap. I don't care who you recruit if your schemes aren't designed well enough to allow them to succeed. Muschamp made horrific OC hires and McElwain was a very conservative OC under Saban. I think Mullen will return them to being a well designed and schematically aggressive offense that should start rolling again.
-
Defense helped them escape narrowly against a lot of good teams. They won but you never really thought you'd be safe betting on them. The offense was muschamp's flaw- conservative to "help" the defense but never really good enough to do anything.
-
Leach just ignores him. I get the sense this isn't a rarity for his postgames.
