Tulane and James Madison are gonna get rolled think the whole goal was for 1 G5 team to have a chance to be some boise st cinderella. not for the ACC to go to a 5 team tie breaker eventually having Duke and Virginia of all teams and Duke end up winning. the conference still sucks as a whole if FSU and Clemson arent a combined 6-10 in the conference

Your contention was that we had some reasonable shot at getting in the playoffs but were now being "hosed" and held out. After loss 3 we never had a reasonable shot.

My point is aimed at the Texas fans still self-flagellating over that loss. Texas was competitive in that game and got beat by a coach who pushed all in twice with inside straight draws.

Every team in America should control their own destiny before the first game. Cinderella teams can become part of that 68 in basketball pretty easily but James Madison is never going to be in the top 12 in football. They could go undefeated every year for a decade and not be in the top 12.

December 7Dec 7 OP should've been right, but the committee elected to hand out participation trophies instead.
December 7Dec 7 Author Welp, I was about as wrong as possible with us behind BYU. Most seemed to think that bama or OU losing would have gotten us in (that was general consensus for most in media I think going into last week- but that didn’t fucking matter). Nope. Zero nuance. Zero attempt to make games people want to see. Zero care about TV ratings. Zero care about protecting OOC scheduling games. The committee (after seeing some green shoots in 2023 where they ignored the loss column with Florida state and did the right thing) has basically doubled down on the only thing that matters is counting losses in the loss column, regardless of schedule or who you played and NOTHING else is important beyond avoiding losses (CCG losses don’t count as data points for reasons). we know this conclusively now, they have picked the absolute dumbest timeline that is the worst for the sport, and if we keep any loseable game in non conference we absolutely positively deserve what we get and should be sodomized by a rusty spiked dildo. it’s the dumbest possible decision that likely costs the most money, the playoffs will be watched by friends and family in the first round and none of that makes sense to me (or the predictor stuff or the gambling markets from the time this was posted) but we have absolute clarity that it wasn’t a 65% chance it was more like a 5% chance and that was only going to hit if EVERYONE ended up with 3 losses. huh. Ok then. Congrats on killing September football of not tomorrow than 5 years down the line when the schedules play out. Edited December 7Dec 7 by Wulaw Horn

I said this shit when they unveiled the 12 team format. Here’s the dirty little secret- we still might not have been in if it was 16! They could have flopped Vandy and Utah ahead of us bc of the loss column and called it a day.

Update: a 9 win team has never made the playoffs in the 2 year history of the 12 team playoffs. 10 wins is still the minimum for consideration
December 7Dec 7 3 hours ago, UTEE97 said: I am afraid the only soul searching Sark would do will involve getting out of marquee non-conference games. He thinks playing in the Swamp or the Shoe is hard. Cignetti on the other hand doesn't flinch no matter who the opponent is. What Cignetti has done is remarkable taking a team that was 9-27 in the 3 prior years to 24-2 in his first two. Doormat program who was in the division with OSU, UM and Pedo. BUT… 2024– Played OSU (L) and UM (W) then 7 of the bottom 8 teams (31-55) and really bad OOC. Great job against really bad competition, went 1-1 in their 2 game schedule before getting knocked out in first round of playoffs. This is A&M this year. 2025- Played Oregon, Iowa, Illinois, and 6 of the bottom 7 teams (23-49), same gauntlet OOC. A 3 game schedule and atrocious competition, but they took care of business and just beat OSU. Conference Champs, heisman, they look like the team to beat. Sideline demeanor reminds me of Saban Schedules matter, last year they were a paper tiger nearly identical to A&M this year. Undoubtedly a good team, but a record built on playing the worst competition they could possibly have on their schedule outside of 2 games. I’m rooting for them this year, we get to see how well they do against better competition. Tl;dr Cignetti is a damn good coach but let’s see how he does against good teams over a larger sample size
December 7Dec 7 54 minutes ago, Hmbre97 said: It's a moot point but technically they moved BYU down a spot to #12 but that was done 100% so they could put Miami and ND next to each other to justify the flip on the last ranking. and they could keep them above us for the CCG shouldn't punish you narrative. it was all appearances and they could do it because it didn't matter.

December 7Dec 7 Remember the huge hubbub this summer about how scheduling quality opponents and having a good strength of schedule was important to making the playoffs and that losses in those big OOC games wouldn't really hurt too much? Edited December 7Dec 7 by campcrunk

December 7Dec 7 The correct way to put it would be that no team that finished the regular season at 9-3 has made the CFP as an at large qualifier.

For the short-sighted Texas-Hating committee, fucking over Texas was worth trashing it all, no matter how much money it ends up costing them, too, the networks, and the sport. They. Don't. Care. They are BLINDED by Texas-Hatred. The committee will count losses only long enough to find some other excuse to keep us out. Having arch-rivals/new rivals (Mobilehoma, aggy, jawja, piggy-Yurachek), or Big12-Left-Behinds on the CFP committee will never end well. Dump the goddamn bucee/meatchicken/dohmers series today and add the cupcakes! Cupcakes are Required for MNCs now.
