Florida is [expletive] horrible.
-
USC was "in disarray" by your standard the whole rest of the season too and can win the Pac 12 tonight. But I'm not sure why ND is part of this discussion anyway. My opinion that you are spectacularly overrating Ole Miss has nothing to do with them.
-
Advanced stats think USC is pretty damn good, and Navy is better than either of those 2 also. LSU and Mississippi State have combined to do basically nothing. The Alabama win was great and all, but the Tide sleepwalk their way into a loss to some team every year. It doesn't make Ole Miss great.
-
LSU and Mississippi State are not good teams, Ryne. What's the best win between the two of them? Texas A&M? I guess? They're ok. Not good.
-
Just wait for an Iowa v Bama game. ZZZZzzzz God that would be just sad. And yet could be the national title game in a month. Haha.
-
Correct, normally it'd be TCU, but the Big 12 uses its own tiebreaker to determine the Sugar bid. OK State vs Ole Miss is probably the most uninspiring major bowl matchup since Michigan vs VA Tech.
-
I'm really, really, extremely not high on the idea of paying for an old pitcher coming off a career year driven by outperformance of his peripherals. -
30 teams go back and forth, but the Browns and Lions are forever.
-
They shouldn't. Stanford played a grueling schedule this year while UNC was beating 2 FCS teams and losing to horrendous South Carolina. Ohio State would have a better chance than UNC.

And can clinch the division with a win next week. This has been a fun year.
-
I imagine the committee would use the conference champion justification to vault Stanford past them if they beat USC. So they'd probably need 2 upsets. But Alabama is going to beat Florida by 100, so I wouldn't worry. Thanks to the Sugar Bowl's SEC/Big 12 deal, Ole Miss will probably get a major bowl again, so that's kind of neat for them even though it sucks for whoever finishes in the last spot out of the NY6.
-
I think that's how it should go, but I'd bet UNC would take Clemson's spot, and wouldn't be shocked to see Florida or Stanford take Bama's. Stanford takes Bama's. Florida is flat-out bad and shouldn't be in the playoff even if they somehow stumble ass over tea-kettle into a win over a sleepwalking Bama.
-
I don't think there's ever been an unluckier 10-win team than ND this year. After being given a few minutes to let it sink in, I even can somewhat appreciate the way the college football gods trolled ND by having them be hurt by seemingly benefiting from a strange replay decision at the goal line against Stanford - especially since ND's bowl destination was changed in absolutely no way by what happened in this game. They were going to a non-playoff major bowl before, and because everyone behind them got [expletive] destroyed today, they will be going to a non-playoff major bowl now. I just hope Temple beats Houston so they're not stuck playing a non-P5 team that will enable the CFB world at large to completely ignore anything they do well in said bowl.
-
Because they have 6 points on 3 trips into Stanford territory.
-
If only Brian Kelly had already [expletive] lost a game this year in large part because he went for 2 well before he needed to. ND is playing the most dominant offensive game I've seen in a really long time, and they're going to be down by 6 in about 45 seconds. Unbelievable.
-
Eh, I'm the first to go conspiracy theory via conference affiliated referees, but Muschamp was behaving like a lunatic and assistant coaches never get much leeway anyway. Also, Jeremy Johnson is an AWFUL quarterback. Couldn't throw one within 2 feet of anyone all day.
-
I lost count of how many times Armstrong threw ridiculous desperate chucks into multiple defensive backs
-
Agree with Raisin - if MLB doesn't want teams to tank, get rid of the piles of incentives they put in to do it.
-
Assuming Forte is reasonably healthy, there's 0 reason to play Woodhead over the other 3.
-
Also if the only scenario that can realistically get them in occurs (UM over OSU/Iowa, PSU over MSU) they have a 68% chance of getting in. I wonder what the odds are if that scenario occurs and Iowa beats Nebraska this weekend. Probably worse. UM beating a 12-0 Iowa would be a nice notch in their belt.
-
I only got Coleman in my league. Not great.
-
And we've reached the crux of the issue, which is that I like having one sport where you have to be great all year and can't just get hot at the end. Every other sport you can lollygag through a bad division and just get hot at the end. I prefer it this way. I'm in the minority, I know. Also, if there are auto bids and only 2 at large spots, I fail to see any incentive for anyone to schedule worth a damn out of conference.
-
To put it another way, there is absolutely no reason that Ole Miss, UNC, USC, or UCLA should have a shot at the title right now. If there were auto bids, they would have a shot.
-
I'm against the expansion of the playoff if only because the only way it would expand is through automatic conference champion bids. As long as there are divisions and unbalanced schedules, there should be no auto bids.
