I'll be the first to admit our SEC schedule this year is more advantageous than most competitors in the conference, but Penn State literally has a 1 game season and their punishment for losing the 1 game is missing the Big 10 championship game (and a chance for 2 losses) so they will almost certainly slot into the 5 or 6 seed with a home playoff game and nice bracket setup.   There just isn't an upper middle or middle tier in the Big 10 this season.  It's a 4 team league and Ohio St. is the only one that has to play anyone else.  I hate Ohio State but if they were to lose to Indiana they damn sure better still be slotted ahead of Penn St.

I just can't see PSU getting that high of a seed.  Absent something crazy, I think those are going to losers of big 10 and SEC championship game.  Obviously 1 and 2 seeds are going to winners. 

They'll still probably get a 7 or 8 and host a game.  I'd laugh if they got a 9 or 10 seed Georgia.

    I'd rather stay behind Georgia until they come to Austin.  Same way I felt about being behind SC in 05.  I'd rather have something to prove than something to defend.

Rarely post in the latter. Vegas would have Texas as double digit favorites that's a fact brother.

Bro I'm giving you what the line would be and you're disagreeing. Texas in Bloomington next week would not lay 10. There is no way in fuck.

This is certainly what should happen.  Will actually be a good test of how they treat championship games.

You are arguing with the same clown that thought our season was effectively over and our QB dog shit after beating Vandy on the road by 3, but just 1 good game against a bad team and we're beating Indiana by 17.  He is the quintessential over reactionary Texas fan that doesn't know shit about fuck.

so are we getting to the point that if we come in with 1 loss and aggy has 2 losses that they have to win to be in but we don't?

No gty that a 2 loss Texas is in CFP playoffs especially if the 2nd loss is to aggy.  

Naysayers will point out that if Texas loses to aggy, we would have zero wins over the current Top 25 teams

Michigan and blOU really sucking is hurting the Longhorns current strength of schedule.

You're fucking high if you think Indiana is as good as Texas. We would get a full TD against them at a neutral site. 

You can't just use W/L to dictate who the best teams are. You have to also watch the games.

You taking Indiana over Alabama at a neutral site? Okay. I'm not. 

Indiana would get throatfucked by Bama, Texas, and Georgia. So would Pedo State. The Big 10 is a joke but even more so, Indiana is a joke and so is their schedule.

You shouldn't. He posts like a guero in Mexico who just drank the water shits.

You guys fret too much.  Just keep winning.  When there’s no one left to play and Fowler and Herbstreit have finished yelling, take your trophy and put it in the case.  Well done.

It’s time to euthanize the conference championship games and their promoters.  We didn’t miss them before 1992 and the segue from regular season to CFP post season games would make better sense.

As a Bama fan, unless we can somehow win the SECCG and get a bye, all I want to see is my team in one of the 5-8 slots hosting a first round game. ND vs Bama in Tuscaloosa would be pretty cool, considering we were dead meat three weeks ago.

Show me where I said our season was over aside from something like if Quinn doesn’t play better it is. You won’t. He played a good half vs Vandy and was bad in second half.

Yeah, playing in conference championship games is not necessarily an advantage to winning the CFP National Championship.

They damn sure better slot Bama ahead of Notre Dame this week.  Hell, they should move Ole Miss ahead of them as well.

it's the playoff game for a bye, but the loser gets no bye week, unlike the 3rd place team that didn't make the CCG, gets a bye week AND hosts the wildcard with no travel

so for the b1g and sec it's a real faafo proposition HOWEVER it makes the league a fuckton they don't have to share with anyone else which trumps the downside for the ccg loser

for the mid2 and g5 it's only way to sort out their mess

what are the options to do away with it at 12 and 16?

Wow. You've actually watched IU football? Damn. 

My favorite part of it all is that none of it really makes a shit. Whoever it is, we'll see them in the playoffs if they're good enough to hang around.

Name a team that’s trading on their preseason ranking more than Mizzou.

The CFP rankings do not have jack shit to do with preseason or even in-season coaches and AP polls.

When anyone says our schedule is soft, point to mizzou. If South Carolina shows up, they’ll blow out mizzou just like the other 2 decent teams on their schedule did. Otherwise mizzou could ALSO end up 10-2

CFP uses formulas and shit where pre season polls create inherent biases. Especially with regards to SOS type shit in formulas 

All I know is we're making the CFP and aggy isn't, and their misery, regardless of how we fare, will still keep a smile on my face until Valentine's day when I have to subscribes to Babes.com

It’s true that the CFP is its own independent ranking and can place teams however it sees fit.

But the initial CFP poll last week was identical to the AP poll, except UGA and tOSU were swapped at 2 and 3. Poll inertia and some preseason bias is baked in. That’s just how it is in this sport.

Fortunately, now that the CFP poll is out there, it tends to be its own thing and work differently than the legacy polls. But I would argue the starting point is always influenced by those polls.

Lol at 2 loss SEC 4th place Tennessee hosting that playoff game ahead of the juicy Notre Dame-Indiana 1 loss showdown

We know they are going to manipulate the ranking/seeding for the best matchups some and while ND@IU is juicy locally, nationally it doesn’t move the needle.

Ohio State at 5 vs the G5 champ is a lock if they win out but lose their CCG.

Then you get to the SEC 10-2 teams.

You have to split up UGA, Bama, TN because they all played each other already. I think you swap UGA and TN because Texas and UGA have already played and UGA vs Oregon and Texas versus either ND or TN would be great. Bama/Pedo is also a great matchup so that one stays.

Obviously this all changes based on the outcomes of the Indiana/Ohio St and UGA/TN games but “as is” I think this is close to what could be a great playoff.

Indiana/UGA and Boise/Ohio St would be the worst games and go to TNT while ND/TN and Bama/Pedo would headline on ESPN.

Maybe when they go to 16 CFP playoff teams, the 8 teams in Power4 that make their conference championship games are guaranteed a CFP playoff seed no lower than #8 and all receive 1st round home games???

This would guarantee at least 2 spots for both B12 and ACC in the CFP playoffs...🤔

 

Edited by LTtxfan

Also that graphic still has 2nd place Miami as the 3/ACC winner. SMU might have something to say on that 

Aggy gonna collectively lose their mind when they see espn projections having them miss the 12 team playoffs.

I hope they’re 13th.

4 highest ranked conf champs get the byes. MWC champ being ranked higher than the Big 12 champ would give them a bye

But that’s apparently only happened a few times ever. Notably 2020 when PAC-12 champ Oregon was ranked low due to lack of games and 2009 with TCU/Boise

That makes sense then, and I like that better.

Honestly, Big 12 is really fun to watch despite the officiating because it's unpredictable. There's commuter campuses, party schools, super religious schools, skyline chili, cornfield schools, couch burners, and former 40-year-olds that have given up on everything. It's as if Stephon from SNL made a CFB conference.

If Notre Dame somehow loses another game, then the SEC likely gets 5 teams into the CFP.

 

Notre Dame remaining schedule

Indiana having OSU on the schedule makes it even fucking dumber that they aren't #2. 

None if this even makes a shit anymore anyway. 12 team playoff has made polls kind of irrelevant tbh. 

Maybe it shouldn’t matter, but Indiana has played only one team with a winning record.  They’ve played 7 teams with losing records.  Maybe folks are waiting to see how they do at Ohio State, before elevating them.  IU so far has played a Big XIIesque schedule.  If they should be ranked higher because they are undefeated, then by that logic bump up BYU too.

 In the AP, IU are essentially tied for 4th with Penn St.  Who should IU replace above that?  Texas, Ohio State, or Oregon?  They’re playing Ohio State and maybe get a shot at Oregon.  We can see then.

On a side note seems pretty likely that Hudson Card is going to go 0-9 in the Big Ten this year.

He did not play against Oregon or Illinois, so he'll only be 0-7.  Picking nits, I am :)

Yep and yep.  Ohio State likely smokes IU and IU likely smokes Card and Purdue.  Irrespective of what I said above, 11-1 for Indiana is pretty amazing.
