If that were true at the end (which would not be the case) only 2 of the top 5 could possibly get a bye in the 1st round.

2 of the top 6. It’s always going to be the case that only 1 team from the SEC and BIG each will get a bye, and they will pretty much always make up the majority of the top 10. Getting the 5 seed over the 6 seed will also be a big advantage since 5 seeds gets to play the G5 team.

Yep, and in that poll the 12 ranked team is getting a bye.

I'm only typing the following words, because henceforth I shant ever again.

Tuddies

Natties (Unless used to describe Natural Light beer which rarely comes up in my conversations, and then only with my WT connections)

Wifey 

I'm going to quietly dislike and ignore all future thoughts from anyone who does.

You've been warned and you're welcome.

 

If you add preggers we would have an identical list.

She’s an IU grad, so give Heather D a break. She hasn’t had a reason to root for IU football since she’s been born.
I like the hype behind Coach CIG and what he’s done in year one there. Nothing but respect, as a CFB fan.

Hook’em!!!

I don’t get the appeal 

I actually watch his show each M-F during lunch. They actually bring great guests on a daily basis, even after you get “past” some of the regular show/staff characters. Over the years I’ve even grown to the the staff “schtick” and insight.

Pat’s staff/crew actually brings great insight into CFB/NFL, not counting his daily guests! Watch it with an “open mind” around 11-1 on ESPN and you might be surprised.

Hook’em!!!

That Miami ranking is fucking laughable. 

I'd love to bitch more than that but the fact is SMU was never getting any respect this season. Need to get to Charlotte and take care of business. 

I'm not sure what it says that I think the AP ranking is better.

is it just me or would anyone else take the current draw right fucking now, no questions asked?

Yeah, if Texas wins out and wins SEC then we would be the #2 seed with a bye until Dec 31 or Jan 1st.  🤘

Yeah looks good to me. The real thing will probably turn out something like that anyway as long as we take care of business. Rankings will be shuffled around, and maybe SMU wins the ACC instead of Miami. I think Indiana will dispatch Ohio State and finish #2.

With the "champs" by that list, as i understand, being Oregon, Texas, BYU and... ND (?does that ranking get ND a bye week without having to play a ccg???) Or does it go to Miami. Honest question.. but ND or Miami...

Yeah man, I'd take that group

ND isn’t eligible for a bye bc they aren’t in a conference

I'm sure I'll sound crazy and be shit on, but I'd prefer Oregon to IU in the post season.

Miami or SMU would be the ACC champ. Notre Dame at best can only ever host a home game. Now if Boise State is ranked higher than the ACC champ, they would be the #4 team if they won their conference.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. So it would be Miami if that was hypothetically a final. 

Yeah I'd be good with those but the quarter finals would have some blow outs favoring the "underdogs" imo. By underdog I mean the conference Champs would by underdogs to some much better teams in the quarters, imo.

That what I thought but it ND so some fucked up rule might have applied.

I sure hope Notre Dame loses another regular season game so they are left out of the playoffs...  😎

Nah they gave up the chance for a first round bye by not joining a conference. Can only ever be ranked as high as 5, even if they were the only 12-0 undefeated team

I'm sure i could look it up but are there conference alignments to the Quarter finals? (Like old school)

I don't.  I want the shitties filling up slots if we win the conference.

Miami, BYU, ND, Ohio State, Penn State are all teams I think Texas would be favored to win and I'd be happy as a fan to have in the playoffs.

Thanks a lot Texas!  Just like you always do, you had to fuck it up for the rest of us.  They warned us that it’s always only about you.

This season is going to make Sankey more against a 9 game conference schedule. Hell, they will consider rigging the schedule so top teams play only 1 other top team through early November. The Big Ten logjam is due to their season scheduling. 4 teams in the top 5, only two games between them so far, 3 for the whole season. In a round robin it would be twice as many total losses.

Truth. The SEC isn’t going to allow a “you are what your record says you are” mindset. If the system is just stacking everyone up by wins and losses then this system won’t make it past 2026. CFP may be dooming themselves.

SMU = Rodney Dangerfield of college football. 

Fortunately SMU is in a spot where they control their own destiny and don’t have to worry about perception to control whether they make the conference championship game.

Miami is ass, my dude, and SMU will stampede their asses, but what I don’t understand is how Miami, 2nd place in the ACC, is listed ahead of the first place team in their conference. 

It just doesn’t make any sense.

If anything, the SEC should schedule more top games earlier. Get them out of way and be primed to move up when the BIG teams beat each other up late. 
the BIG will have 2 in the top 5 and SEC will have 3 after the conference championship games. Book it

A&M is tied for first place in the SEC and Georgia, Bama, and Ole Miss are ahead of them. That's just a feature of big conferences.

Yes, SEC champ to Sugar, B1G to Rose, then I’d assume ACC to Peach and Big 12 or whoever to Fiesta.

I have this concern as well, and am doubtful the nine-game league schedule makes it across the line.
