Folks will probably point to this season as a reason not to expand to 8 but for me I’ll push for 8 until it happens. I’d much rather argue over 8/9 than 4/5.
These are not the playoff droids you are looking for.I think Leroy did some kind of Jedi mind trick on both of us - I read it as UGA losing by 1 too. My bad.
I can’t even blame drinking - I’ve not had a drop all day. Or maybe I can blame it!WTF people.
Nobody knows if Utah or Oklahoma gets excluded from Top 4 in huge money maker yet women's volleyball just released their 64 team bracketFolks will probably point to this season as a reason not to expand to 8 but for me I’ll push for 8 until it happens. I’d much rather argue over 8/9 than 4/5.
6 with round one on home sites. Schedule this post for December 1, 2020 as well.Folks will probably point to this season as a reason not to expand to 8 but for me I’ll push for 8 until it happens. I’d much rather argue over 8/9 than 4/5.
These colleges never hear of FaceTime or phone interviews?Arkansas Update
@KegsnEggs: College football coaching searches can also read like hostage situations. https://twitter.com/RushJohnNabors/status/1201315333967142917
I think it's the Used Car Salesman playbook. Get them on campus, let them test drive the facilities, tell them you need to speak the sales manager (college prez), and don't let them leave until you ask "What can I do to get you into a slightly downtrodden SEC West program today?"These colleges never hear of FaceTime or phone interviews?
1. Ohio StateSo what happens if Georgia beats LSU by a point?
That's what I was afraid of.1. Ohio State
2. Clemson
3. Georgia
4. LSU
Seems pretty obvious to me.That's what I was afraid of.
Allow me to revise and extend my remarks...That was a close loss to USC, who was 8-4. "Cringeworthy"? Ok....
If they throttle Oregon (and they will) Utah will go to the playoffs. IMO.
The more I think about it, I’m not so sure - I do think typically OU would get in but they’ve consistently stayed behind Utah in the poll. If OU is ahead of them tonight then I would agree but if Utah stays in front you have to like their chances. (Assuming UGA loses)Allow me to revise and extend my remarks...
When I typed "USC" I was thinking of the record of UCLA. It is albeit an uncommon error and the poster regrets the error.
In any event, Da Utes will have to destroy UO to get into the CFP...and I don't see that happening.
@RedZone921: Latest on Lane Kiffin: first face-to-face meeting with Hunter Yurachek yesterday in Boca. No official offer made, but he is UA's #1 candidate right now. Tricky timeline to navigate this week because FAU is in C-USA title game on Saturday.I hope to wake up to video of the Lane Train calling the hogs at a hastily convened 1am presser.
That would be wild. Everyone outside of Ohio would be outraged but the committee and NCAA don't care about conference championships. Something like that would confirm it once and for all. They might as well eliminate conferences and go to an end of season bracket starting in mid-November.The more interesting one is Wisconsin. If they some how won, I could see them being left out and could see OSU staying in. I know we’ve had a team that didn’t play for their conference championship but have we had one lose and make it in over the winner?
I agree - think they roll them by 30+ but if a miracle happened I still think OSU gets in.That would be wild.

That said, Wisconsin is going to be blown out on Saturday. But it's interesting to think about. The committee is praying there is no upset.
I don't doubt it for a minute. Unless Fields is hurt.I agree - think they roll them by 30+ but if a miracle happened I still think OSU gets in.
Oregon is trash. Not sure what you're watching out there, but they have completely fallen apart. They should have lost Saturday. Utah line is now 6.5....they are going to stomp a mudhole in Oregon.If Utah is lucky enough to beat Oregon (they won't) they will be in as 4th seed unless Georgia beats LSU.
Even revised I tend to disagree with you. We'll see. I think the committee will take into account OU's failures as a playoff team in the past and award the spot to the new team. They really can't do any worse, TBH.Allow me to revise and extend my remarks...

A couple of interesting Twitter threads from a pair of former BC players (and not benchwarmers):That one is a bit of a surprise to me. Can't be easy to build at winner at BC
I know you are a glass half empty kind of guy and I am a glass half full kind of guy but come on man, they should not have lost on Saturday. I get they have not played well the past two weeks and understand why they are getting points to Utah. Oregon is more talented and this will be a low scoring game where Oregon wins like 21-17.Oregon is trash. Not sure what you're watching out there, but they have completely fallen apart.

Very surprising news. I wonder why.Chris Petersen stepping down. Whoa.
Yep - that's kind of surprising but he's always seemed like a family first man so I'm assuming something to do with that. Hopefully nothing bad.Very surprising news. I wonder why.
I hope Gus signs a lifetime extension this week.Eugene Robinson says "Hi"
And Leach possibly to Ole Miss? (Though the original Twitter report was fake.)Chris Petersen stepping down. Whoa.
I feel like he'd probably just make the switch instead of announce stepping down if going to another college. Maybe wants to interview for some NFL jobs?FSU?
Oregon will take him as offensive coordinator.Peterson is west coast all the way.
Prized Recruit Reacts to Peterson LeavingI would be shocked if Petersen pursues a job at a higher profile college football program or the NFL.
I’m pretty happy with Jimmy Lake taking over. He’s a rising coaching star and would definitely have left for a head coaching job elsewhere in the next year or two. I hope he can keep the stellar 2020 recruiting class intact.
Oh please. Oregon was outgained by a team with a QB who hadn't played a college game before. Oregon State almost tied the game up, but the Ducks were bailed out with a penalty that nullified the tying TD. The Ducks offense has backslid into something that is reminiscent of the Taggart season. Just hackneyed and unimaginative. Oregon State was the better team on the field Saturday; they just got unlucky with penalties. Imagine if Jake Luten had played that game?I know you are a glass half empty kind of guy and I am a glass half full kind of guy but come on man, they should not have lost on Saturday.

Now this is a shock to me. Wow. Looks like they are promoting AC Jimmy Lake to the HC position. Seems to make sense, but Peterson stepping down surprises me.Chris Petersen stepping down. Whoa.
You are welcome to lose your money in Vegas. I have said all along that I wasn't sure that Oregon was up for the playoffs this year and that they could very well lose another game. They have the talent to beat Utah and win the Rose Bowl which would be a great season. Quit being a fair weather fan.Oh please.

Sorry I don't share your optimism, but this team had a chance to be a playoff team and they blew it against ASU. Blew it. That's not a good team, either. Blew it. Then they come back home and put up THAT performance against little sister OSU??? C'mon man, I know you're pie in the sky, myopic Oregon fan, but jesus christ, open your eyes.
Utah wins this one and it won't be close.
GM has never heard of himWHO ELSE IS EXCITED TO WATCH FINEBAUM TODAY?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
There is a difference between being fair weathered and being realistic. I was at the game Saturday. The general feeling of the crowd wasn't what it's been in past seasons. Deflated? Stunned at how bad the offense is now? Worried about how atrocious the defense is all of a sudden? Not sure what it was on Saturday, but it wasn't ebullience.You are welcome to lose your money in Vegas.

So? I was at the game here at Arizona State. They played like crap for 2 weeks straight. The difference between me and you is I believe the Rose Bowl is a pretty good motivator and talent will prevail.There is a difference between being fair weathered and being realistic.

Have fun at the Justin Boots Alamodome Bowl Game.
If LSU beats Georgia, I think the 2019-'20 Rose Bowl is in the Duck's future, win or lose in the P12 title game.The difference between me and you is I believe the Rose Bowl is a pretty good motivator and talent will prevail.
At least with the first guy you have the root of his petty reaction. i feel like there's more to the story with Andre Williams (not that it will help Addazio image much)A couple of interesting Twitter threads from a pair of former BC players (and not benchwarmers):
