Boise State is in the 4th seed if they win out over the big12 champ, and depending on how it plays out the big12 will be lucky to get a 11 or 12 seed. 

I guess we'll see.

Sagarin currently has Boise behind 8 XII teams for what it's worth.

[WBT 20655]

The XII is also currently the 2nd rated conference

[Huckleberry 33075]

Yep, lots of shit talking about the Big 12 on this board for obvious reasons but it's still a very good and underrated conference, same as it ever was.

B1G is super top heavy and then all crap 

[heso 2816]

That playoff predictor is shit. It just gave me this scenario:



The SEC gets 4 teams in and Texas isn’t one of them. SC and Bama both get in.

And Tulane, from the 12 seed beats Oregon, BSU, Tenn, and PSU to win the national championship.

You know, like, maybe, Northern Illinois?

But if it were the SEC champ, maybe Wofford, or Furman?

 

[cmontexas 3277]

Fuck Tech but it would be hilarious for both of us to make the playoff while Aggy and BYU have a weirdoff in the Holiday Bowl

Hard pass on conferences matchups in round 1

On the surface I'd agree with you, but you're also less likely to end up with a conference dominating the semifinals. 

[heso 2816]

I’ve looked at like 8-10 bracket predictions for this week and uga-Tenn was the most common first round matchup and I’m just not seeing a scenario where they make that a 1st round game. 

I think far more likely would be:

smu @ psu

tenn @ nd

iu @ uga

SMU going to ND would be such a gift to ND that it will probably happen.

Hopefully USC beats them. 

[heso 2816]

I think psu is locked into the 6 seed unless uga beats Texas in the championship game. The I could see Texas getting the 6 and psu dropping to 7, nd to 8

Indy @ ut 

smu @ psu

tenn @ nd

 

The other central could move psu out of the 6 seed is Michigan beating osu, which would put psu in the b1g championship game and osu in the mix for the 7-10 range.

 Not sure how getting your ass beat at home by SMU is a gift. Seriously, ND is gonna lose their playoff game and it would be delicious if it’s to SMU.

Will be hilarious when Boise gets the 4 seed and the bye and then Jeanty doesnt even play vs Ohio State or whoever

['stache 21844]

Why would he sit out? Players only do that for meaningless bowl games. It would be the biggest game in Boise State history.

[Billy Pilgrim 1985]

If Big12 champ gets left out, you’ll see a whole lot more questionable officiating protecting the higher ranked teams next season.

I don't think the PC wants the first round chalk full of paired off conference rivals

Curt Cignetti just wants Indiana to get in.  Shea Whigham has already signed on to play him in “I win. Google me!” coming soon from Universal.

Honestly it's bad for "business" that being business being ratings.

They will want ND for example to play another Helmet blue bloods if possible in early or later round match up. Texas, Georgia, Bama for example.

ND vs SEC loser in first round, with them matching up much later vs the SEC winner. 

Then they'll look for big cross regional matchups where they can get them Georgia vs Oregon or a Arizona State vs Penn State in the first round. 

That won't be the primary guide for seeding but will absolutely be a substantial factor. 

[alincoln 2382]

Exactly.  A made for television event is going to be made for television.

I’m talking about going into the game, neither of those was for a national title shot.

But this is just quarterfinals so far, not even semifinals. It's still distant to the final.

In 09 it was undefeated vs undefeated and they were vying to earn the best finish in school history (even if not in the actual ncg.. they ended up at #2 in coaches poll).
