  1. That’s a fair observation. I’ll add that the stupid time off in CFB after the end of the reg has always been a box of chocolates come bowl season, and it seems that’s increased in recent years. CFB really misses maximizing their product in their handling of the postseason
  2. I’ve got questions about A&M, but they earned their right to be in this playoff? Miami?…..not so much imo
  3. To be fair, I don’t think ANY team feels like “the team to beat” in this year’s CFP. Maybe Indiana…….maybe Georgia…….NFL feels the same this year
  4. Never try and psychoanalyze Aggie……it leads to a dark place
  5. Imagine THIS is the headlining game on a CFP Saturday triple-header. Therein lies the problem. Lose the auto-bids college football. Your CFP viewership both last year and this year should speak louder than it has so far
  6. Not necessarily complaining. Just thought if changes were needed, they were on the other side of the ball
  7. And here I was thinking it was that other side of the ball……would be really interesting to know the details
  8. Missouri coaches, but it doesn’t pay….
  9. Without knowing much of anything regarding this year’s transfer portal, I think raiding the cupboards of coaching transition schools like LSU, Florida, Michigan are sound strategies. Mixing in some southeastern high school products w/ in-state recruiting talent has produced results in our recent past
  10. I have to give Miller a pass for this year. He was hired late in the recruiting cycle last year. Last I checked, next year’s recruiting class is ranked 7th on Rivals. Like it or not, Texas basketball is just not a destination job. Hopefully, he gets the NIL resources he needs to compete w/ the top programs (I’m not sure where UT ranks on that front), and we’ll see where Miller Texas basketball is at in 2 seasons
  11. Congrats. Betting on Cleveland at home vs Tennessee proved to be my undoing this week. Didn’t love the pick, but 14 weeks in….
  12. In the 12-team playoff era, the bowl games are dead, not just for the fans, but to the players themselves who deem them worthy of sitting out to avoid injury ahead of NFL prospects. Will I watch? Yes. Do I expect to be able to glean much from the result? No.
  13. w/ one added caveat: “IF, and only IF, you are a blue blood”….
  14. Miami favored at A&M is interesting. No love for the Aggies from me, but I thing I’d go “wrong team favored” there, but who am I compared to Vegas?
  15. Just absolute, complete, fucking nonsense
  16. Well, I’m “not happy” for JMU and Tulane. Definitely lose the 5th conference champion guarantee. Frankly, I would lose the 4th as well. If you want to guarantee conference champions “only in the top 15”……OK, but that wouldn’t be my 1st choice. If I’m ESPN, be real. You don’t want to be stuck selling JMU v Oregon, Tulane v Ole Miss to advertisers. Hell, Miami at A&M is even a harder sell than ND v A&M. Forget the inclusivity. It’s just a bad product
  17. I would argue Notre Dame passes the eye test RIGHT NOW, in August/September not so much. But who the hell knows what criteria THIS committee is using on a team-by-team basis, much less the entire field
  18. The committee is a moving target year-to-year so it’s hard to speak w/ any convention as to their criteria week-to-week much less annually. They DID hang their hat on “Conference Championship game participants will not be punished due to a loss” a year ago. This season, and in the past week, Yormark specifically has played it close to the vest in interviews revealing almost nothing to give the public an inside look at committee criteria down the stretch so all we can do is guess. If it’s the eye test, Bama’s finish vs OU, Auburn, & Georgia didn’t exactly light the world on fire. But in a world of speculation, one can only wonder what ACTUALLY tips the scales…..eye test? good matchups for TV ratings? Who knows, but I would bet the committee, already staring at Tulane & James Madison ruining 2 of the 4 1st round matchups, doesn’t want to flirt with a 3rd choosing BYU over Alabama
  19. I don’t think Texas is getting in, but I do think they’re at least worthy of consideration. I mention that because I do sense a concerted effort among talking heads the past week plus to not mention Texas at all in such discussions. THAT feels like an injection of collective bias that shouldn’t be present among the committee members and the media, but who are we kidding here. Compare it to the way 3-loss Bama was debated up to the release of the final playoff rankings a year ago
  20. Citrus Bowl has 1st dibs among non-playoff bowls and due to bowl ties will be selecting an SEC vs Big Ten game. It’ll almost certainly will be Texas v Michigan in the Citrus
  21. From everything I’ve heard, Bama remains in despite a loss
  22. If anyone is paying attention, fair or not, Texas isn’t even part of the National conversation for the playoff anymore. They’ve been effectively crossed off. I do think there’s a “slight” chance that things get interesting today if Duke wins (does the committee and the networks REALLY want 2 of 4 1st RD matchups irrelevant and unwatched with Tulane, James Madison in the field because that’s what they’d be staring at staying the course)
