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.

Lol, imagine giving a fuck about something like that after winning a title. I ask again, are you 12?

    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.

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.

100%.

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

Way off, Clemson at 9 is batshit

The reason SMU should be worried is the committee has to know that EVERYBODY has cracked the code that this dumbass set up makes the 5 spot such a sweet place to be jn and so their solution is going to be something like “well before you get to beat up on Boise or ASU you’re at least gonna have to get through THE helmet of the last 15 years.”

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.

That is 100% the way it should be.

Looks pretty close to mine, I think they will select Texas vs SMU for regional competition, same way i put Notre Dame vs Indiana

Would be happy with 5 or 6 in this projection.

This is correct. All the other people putting OSU at #5 and putting ND or PSU ahead of Texas can fuck off.

They will swap Clemson to #11 and put SMU at #12 then.

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. 

her skull is shaped weird, her eyes are too far apart, and she has no tits

so fuck her

Why would Clemson be 12 and SMU 11 when they just beat them for the conference title?

Its funny 3 of the 4 games are in cold weather cities in mid late December. The 4th is Austin which could go either way. Will probably be a factor

I think it would be pretty crazy if we aren't a 5 or 6. 

Seems almost like a lock that we're playing Boise State or ASU in the quarters. The only fuckery that's on the table is if they want a Texas vs Alabama 1st round match-up when reality is it should probably be Clemson or SMU.

Preferred 1st round match up is SMU, Clemson, and Alabama in that order.

You can't have Clemson ranked below SMU with the conference championship data point and victory over them in the CCG.

Clemson wasn't anywhere close to the playoff and won on a walk-off FG. ASU was going to be #12 until that happened.

They still are a conference champion and beat SMU.....no fucking way they're ranked behind SMU because of that.

I think they would rather see SMU vs Texas than Clemson vs Texas if both make it in. 

If Bama is left out, I bet we actually get SMU.

It dont make a fuck, we will beat Bama's ass

Clemson, Oregon, and Penn State don't have any defense up front like what we saw, but they're capable of playing up and Oregon has a much better offense than Georgia. Sark needs to be ready to make the difficult decision when it needs to be made. He failed at that today. 

Lol it isn’t happening man. Y’all gotta give this up.

That prediction would be based on Clemson being below #12 in the rankings but the 12th seed as an auto bid for winning the conference. So something like

9. Boise State 10. SMU 11. Alabama 12. Miami 13. Arizona State 14. Ole Miss 15. Clemson

would do it.

Yeah, Ewers will have to get injured for a switch to happen.

Playing ASU in their backyard would suck but that’s the bed we made.

oregon choosing to play us in Miami to avoid a semi in our backyard would be funny though 

Counterpoint...

Oregon - 1

Notre Dame 7 - Indiana 10

Ohio State 8 - SMU 9

 

 

Where's Tennessee? They're in

Alright.  Calling it a night.  I’m going to bed thinking the Big XII commissioner was absolutely right: the logos on the side of the helmet absolutely DO matter, forget what you think is fair, and recognize that ratings matter.  All of this bespeaks of SMU getting fucked, and I think they absolutely will.  Hello Bama.  Now it’s just about matchups.  Do they want Texas v Bama or Clemson and how do you flip-flop various seeds to make that happen?

I Keep seeing this sentiment and it's so annoying. Alabama isn't 9-3 because they played a difficult schedule. They're 9-3 because they lost to the 12th and 13th placed teams in the SEC.

There is nothing that states the 5th conference champion autobid is slotted to the 12 seed

Finish the post. They're #12 if they're the 5th of the 5 and ranked below #11.

Then we won't win the national championship unless we miraculously never face a defense with a front 7 that can attack an immobile QB and take him out of his comfort zone. No more Kentucky or Aggy left.

OK, swap them out with Tennessee. I think the committee will be looking at regional matchups first.

Ok. Probs don’t watch then because it isn’t going to happen at this point.

6 would be Boise in quarters and then rematch with Georgia again.

Markets and ratings matter most. 

Clemson is a former champion team, but not a helmet. 

Bama is a helmet

SMU is a feel good underdog story.

Texas vs Clemson is a team "on the way back" vs a "teams trying to hold onto championship level play". 

Gotta spread helmets around. 

Clemson vs Texas is also cross regional. More market. 

Nobody outside Texas gives a fuck about Texas vs SMU.

Money drives this.

Texas vs Clemson is way more likely than SMU or Bama. (Spread the helmets and nope on regional match inside one state)

Their punter is done. That's a torn ligament if I've ever seen one. 

It all depends if Beck can be ready in 3 weeks. If his throwing elbow is fucked and they have to go with this guy as the starter? They might lose the sugar bowl.

Pretty decent chance we fucked up UGA's season. I am very confident if we rematch them.

Lol, imagine giving a fuck about something like that after winning a title. I ask again, are you 12?
No, I'm 13.

You look like a weaker "national champion" when your own conference mate beat your ass twice in a season. Yes, truly a legitimate number one team for the ages.

Of course we'd all take a national championship, but two losses to Georgia cheapens it a little bit. One loss, fine. But two and we're just the playoff champion that was lucky to not have to play Georgia a third time.

Reminds me of '03 when both USC and LSU were "national champions." In the '05 season there was no doubt we were the best. I'm saying it'd feel a hell of a lot better if we got to beat them on the way there.

God, it feels like last year all over again when people were trying to find a way to get Georgia in over us. This really isnt that complicated.

Ross Dellinger's an idiot. Those are horrible TV matchups and SMU isnt going to be in. No one wants to see Indiana at Texas. Same with Clemson at Penn St and SMU at ND. There would only be 1 premier TV matchup with Tenn at OSU in that bracket and they aren't doing that. Also, no one wants to see Texas and Georgia in the 2nd round.

This is fucking stupid. Imagine the Cowboys losing to the Eagles twice in divisional play and then winning the fucking Super Bowl. Nobody would give a fuck about Philadelphia.

Lulz... dude I call it now. If Texas goes on the win the title (which I'm NOT calling) you won't give a flying fuck about what happened in prior games against Georgia.

And Georgia ain't making the final. They aren't that good.
