 Boise played Oregon. 

They've played the #89 SOS (per Sagarin). 

The only real opponent they've played is Oregon who was missing a bunch of players due to injury. Boise State would be a dream quarterfinals match-up.

    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.

    You say a lot of stupid shit and you do it at a rapid, voluminous rate. You’re like a shit howitzer, just fucking blasting the board with constant bullshit.

I think ND is going to get it.

Nah, I doubt it. I would be pretty shocked if they got it. They have a really poor SOS and a really bad loss. Texas and PSU have much better schedules, play in real conferences, and their losses are to playoff teams.

no way since we lost in overtime

the committee cannot punish teams who play a championship game. if so, just axe the fucking event

Heather Denich just posted us at 6 behind Penn St.  No reasoning for why we’d drop below Penn St but why they’d be above ND and OSU.

They can. That doesn't mean they will.

She has a huge forehead but apparently a small brain. Ignore her, she sucks. 

Here is my projection:

Oregon - 1

Georgia -2

Arizona St - 3

Boise St -4

Texas 5 - Clemson 12 

Penn State 6 - Alabama 11

Notre Dame 7 - Indiana 10

Ohio State 8 - SMU 9

 

 

5 or 6 is ideal given you win your home game and you play either Boise or Arizona State in the 2nd round. 7 gets harder because you're playing Georgia a 3rd time.

SMU is -1400 to make the playoffs. 

Alabama is +800

That didnt last long

SMU is now -345 and Bama +280

She's a big 10 homer. Doesn't mean much

There’s so many ways this damn committee can land, none of us really have any idea how this will land tomorrow.  I’m listening to national sports talk radio (Fox sports) as I type this and they just had the host debating with some Bama hack making the case for Bama.  The host said something along the lines “Texas’ loss to Georgia today may hurt Bama’s chances of getting in because Texas and SMU basically have the same resume (losing to only valid opponents w/ wins over teams barely in or out of the top 25) and that it would be illogical to put Texas in the playoff and not SMU.  They both agreed Texas should drop below ND & Penn State.  The point is the opinions are endless, and who knows the logic of the committee

Yeah as long as SMU makes it in it downs matter if you get 5/6.

So you're dropping Tennessee completely? It's either Alabama or SMU. Not both.

I am confident we would beat them if we play again, but I would rather face them later.

There is literally No reason to drop Texas behind Penn st. At least ND has 1 loss.

Really?  Because I think they are absolutely going to axe SMU and Iowa State already got the axe

Who plays on Friday?

The least exciting TV matchup. So probably the one with Indiana in it.

Probably Texas tbh. That will be a primetime night game. I imagine the weather will be better down here at night so they will use one of those night games on us.

Huge big 10 homer too. She’s ass.

No way. The least exciting will be the Saturday 11 am game. 

Anyone else feel like our only way to legitimacy is through Georgia? I really want to beat them when it counts the most

We're pretty much locked in to either ASU or Boise in the quarters right? 

Either one seems like a better draw than a lot of other teams. As long as we avoid Bama in the opening round, us losing the SEC championship game definitely helped us. 

Clemson or SMU in the 1st round and ASU or Boise in the quarters is a beautiful draw.

No. Are you 12? Why do they matter more than any other team?

the most fuckery would be making Bama "prove themselves" by playing us. Then an SEC team gets eliminated.  Bama wins..see we were right.  Bama loses, well we made them play the "3/4" seed.

It appears that way. Which is great for us.

Well Iowa state was not in the playoffs before today’s game. They had to win to get in. So that’s not relevant to the discussion. 
 

i think they keep SMU in since it was a 3 point loss.

it is certainly the best draw if you rank the seeds 1-12.

So do we get SMU or Alabama

No. Are you 12? Why do they matter more than any other team? 
They beat us twice. A national champion with two losses to the same team in a season doesn't sound like a national champion.

I want and think it's likely we get Smu/ASU/Oregon. Much better than Clemson/Boise/Georgia 

OK upon further reflection:

Oregon -1

Georgia -2

Arizona St -3

Boise St - 4

Texas - SMU

Penn State - Tennessee

Notre Dame - Indiana

Ohio State - Clemson

No. A national championship is all that matters. Nobody gives a fuck about what lead up to the championship.

Fuck him. He has not reasoning for that other than he picked Texas to win so it ruined his pick.

According to FEI SMU is #13, Clemson #15, Arizona State #21, #25 Boise State.

We may not have to play a top 10 caliber team until the semi-finals if that's the draw.

He's a Big 10 shill. Ohio State and Notre Dame should in no way be rewarded for not playing at all. Ohio State had its chance and lost to Michigan...the team we fucking beat in Ann Arbor. 

A conference championship would have been nice, and a bye obviously has its perks, but I think every team in the nation would take a Clemson/SMU and Boise/ASU path to the final four over a single game against a team like ND/Georgia/Penn St.

my guess is there will soon be a "talking point" about us losing to Georgia's backup QB.

Here's The Athletic's projection model:

image.thumb.png.67e401fae32a48d00df0f1f68cf9703d.png

They give SMU a 79% chance of being in the field, Bama 21%. Everyone else is locked in.
