Put OU in the ACC this year. You really think they go 6-6 and lose to powerhouses like *checks notes* Duke and SMU? 

 

Yes, OU sucks this season -- much more than their innate suckiness, they are not a good football team.  

If you think OU would beat SMU this season, you don't know shit from shinola.

You picked the top team in the ACC. Now do Florida State, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Stanford, and Cal. That's what I thought. 

[chitown bevo 20]

sick of tired of Bama constantly getting a break. they could not even score a TD against BlOu . Garbage they should be out, try again next season.

The top ACC defense is #24.  6 SEC teams have a better defense than the top ACC defense (3, 5, 16, 18, 22, 23).  

In fact

Miami - 24
SMU - 28
Cal - 41
Duke - 45
GT - 47

SEC has 10 in the top 50 lol

This is a great example of people not understanding how bad the ACC is. Oklahoma is 31st in F+. They would be favored on a neutral field against all of Duke (46th), Georgia Tech(42nd), and Syracuse (50th). Oklahoma would not have had to play all 3 of SMU, Clemson, and Miami, and they would probably be 9-3 instead of Duke. 

Nonsense.  Just look at Bama's resume and rank that team without seeing their helmet.

I'm hoping for UNLV to win also because I think Boise is way overranked. And then the B12 game Saturday is for both a berth and a bye so that one will be even more fun. 

As much fun as I have running down the B12, I have to admit- if Texas got the six seed, I would much rather play UNLV/Boise than ISU in the first round

Total defense is a useless stat. Miami is nowhere near a top 25 defense. They are 60 in scoring defense. ESPN defensive efficiency has them 63 and the 11th best defense in the ACC. SP+ is a bit kinder to them at 39.

The best part of the 12-team playoff is that 8 teams is probably the right number so room was made for #9 and 3 stragglers. So 10-14 get to argue but who cares other then their fan bases. Realistically, these teams have flaws that make them incapable of winning the national championship anyway.

Random question: do the home schools keep all the revenue from the 1st round playoff games? If so, that's potentially major cash source for programs especially with revenue sharing coming soon.

Think about it: 100,000 tickets at an average of $250 would be $25 million in revenue. Obviously there is a large cost to hosting the event but then you also add in concessions, ads, etc. Idk what that all nets to but it has to be well into the millions.

So we should tank against UGA to get more money?

No. Schools keep concessions and parking, but the rest goes to the CFP to be dispersed among all schools

from the Atlantic:

All revenue from ticket sales will go to the College Football Playoff, while host sites will get to keep concessions and parking revenue as an offset to hosting costs.

Another interesting factoid, according to The Athletic?

Playoff rules require host sites to set aside 3,500 tickets for the opposing team. An opposing band would be included within that 3,500 ticket allotment. Of the 3,500 tickets, 1,500 will be in the lower bowl.

 

Also:

Among the key bits of information was pricing about the game.

Pricing is standardized across the country in these first round games and will include different price points for seats. General seating prices will range from $100 to 250. Penn State is selling student tickets for $25.

I want to say the CFP covers the home teams operations cost as well so everything else is profit

Someone needs to tell Brett he's g5 now. 

The whining is funny. No team outside the Big 10 and SEC has the depth of legit talent to make a run like will be required to win this thing. It's going to be a war, and if you can't have the best tackle in college football go out in the first quarter then replace him with a red shirt freshman who proceeds to dominate as well? You don't have what it takes. Attrition will take all these other teams down.

I mean if you aren't keeping the revenue from ticket sales for youself then why fuck over your fans? Make the seats the cheapest allowed

Sounds like a guy who was given millions to go all in before a year when he had a weak schedule... Who then lost to Kentucky and Florida.

I know he is trying to defend his conference from a hit to its reputation, but this issue will go away. In a couple of years, when the CFP expands to 14, only two conferences will have first round byes. The B12 champ won’t be relegated with just the other G5 schools. It will be relegated with the G5 schools and ACC.

Take a poll of the top 4 teams and see who they least want to face right now out of teams 5-16. South Carolina might win that and looks like they're on the outside looking in.

Why, because they beat Vandy, A&M, Missouri and Woford? Because they squeaked by an average Clemson team that Georgia smoked?

Maybe don't lose to Georgia Tech or Syracuse.  And need to be bailed out by biased officials 2 times.  "Them boys" are watching tape and realize that Miami was indeed bailed out by the officials at least twice.

CFP folks have Miami as #12, but they get supplanted by the Big12 winner (ha).  Sagarin has Miami at #14.  Massey composite has them at #13.  Ole Miss and SC have a better case, IMO.  SEC office had its thumb on the scale for LSU against both of them - until they realized LSU is not very good.  Add half a win to Ole Miss and SC

That aside, It's better that we are quibbling over the first out at the #12 position than the first out at the #4 position.

[billfromlaketravis 11648]

Fuck Bruce and Stew. They granted  a bullshit, softball, lobbying interview to Cristobal today. 
 

They actually attempted made the case that Miami should be in over a 2 loss Texas. It was a master class of Texas hate that even Looch would admire.
