If SMU loses they'll have to decide between them and Alabama for the last spot.
LOL yea you guys are right that’s already decided.If SMU loses they'll have to decide between them and Alabama for the last spot.
I wouldn't put it past the committeeLOL yea you guys are right that’s already decided.If SMU loses they'll have to decide between them and Alabama for the last spot.
Boise is favored by 4, so yeah, wouldn’t be some crazy upset. UNLV would be in the playoff, probably as a 12 seed, and Boise will be out.I spend very little time following this ********. Whatever with the whole who might get in or not and who they might play, it's such a joke.
So not knowing ****, I'll ask here. What will happen when UNLV beats Boise State? Because that is a very real possibility. UNLV is better than most realize. Hell of a coaching job, btw.
I do expect Boise State to get some calls on the smurf turf. That is how it works with them (speaking of carrying flags) when playing "small-time" programs.
They'll be out. The SEC has ordered that they get 4 spots so the ACC can only have 1.Are we assuming SMU is in regardless of result this weekend? I have this sneaking feeling that they are going to get bumped if they lose, regardless of what the committee has said about conference championship games.
Boise will go to the LA Bowl and play California. They aren't getting an at-large spot.I spend very little time following this ********. Whatever with the whole who might get in or not and who they might play, it's such a joke.

Oh man, Boise fans will lose their minds if this unfolds. Thinking they were also going to land the Heisman (and spending a bunch of $), that would be a brutal week, missing out on both.Boise is favored by 4, so yeah, wouldn’t be some crazy upset.

Jesus. That’s a bleak fall.Boise will go to the LA Bowl and play California.
It's the biggest flaw of this postseason format for sure. What makes the most sense for me is a team shouldn't be punished for losing the conference championship when comparing them to teams in their own conference. It'd be dumb to ignore an entire game that happened when trying to make a subjective decision like the 5th at-large bid or whatever though, so I think you have to consider it in most circumstances.What's the point of conference championship games if the loser gets punished in favor of a team sitting at home? The ACC would be better off if they let Clemson and Miami play each other weekend and let SMU sit at home at 11-1.
If Penn State loses, they will probably drop behind Ohio State and maybe Tennessee.
If Georgia loses, they will drop behind Tennessee and probably Alabama.
Just saying, this is why its only a matter of time before official divisions and seeding NFL style.It's the biggest flaw of this postseason format for sure.

But even that seems flawed - if Georgia lays an egg this weekend against Texas, I'd be fine with leaving them out for South Carolina or Ole Miss, so who the hell knows. The committee should avoid making definitive statements about any sort of criteria, and they really should stop publishing rankings period, just do it all at the end of the year when it's over, that way they don't have to justify anything week over week and they can just evaluate the entire body of work when the season is over.
Back to what is the point of championship games? They punish more than help at this point. Texas and UGA gain virtually nothing. Penn St and Oregon - i would argue the loser is better off than the winner assuming the loser is the 5 seed. SMU can only be hurt. Clemson is the only one with something to gain here.It's the biggest flaw of this postseason format for sure.

Dec 20 and 21stWhen do the actual playoff games start? Next week?

Oh I know, been over for some time, but they had some campaign going with Jeanty as the Madden cover and other stuff and they've rode the poor guy like a mule trying to get there.Oh man, Boise fans will lose their minds if this unfolds.

Travis Hunter is as heavy a betting favorite at this point as any heisman candidate has ever been. If they're thinking Jeanty is going to win the heisman that's on them. He's a massive underdog.
At least the committee's dislike of South Carolina is going to save me some money...Feels like I need a 2nd and 3rd job if I want to try and watch any of the post-season games in person. Just not an affordable excursion and I can see old timers (and maybe even not so-old timers) longing for the days of old when you could count on going to the Rose Bowl if your Big10 team was in the running and scoop up plane fare, accommodations and tickets early on - or at least on the early side. Worst case scenario you get to escape the cold for a few days even if your team didn't make it. Worse places to be than Pasadena on Jan 1.
But now, let's say you're an Oregon fan and you want to support your team in person. Do you buy plane tickets to Indianapolis, which, by the way, is NOT going to be a direct flight from PDX or any of the surrounding areas? Have fun with that in December. Or do you save your monetary bullets for the Rose Bowl? And then, let's say fate smiles and the Ducks win that one, do you go to Dallas for the Semis, assuming that's where they'd go vs Miami? What if Oregon goes on to the national championship game in Atlanta? At least that's a direct flight from PDX, but my god, that's going to be a VERY expensive game ticket. Had lunch with our auditor yesterday who is a Michigan grad. He went to Houston last year and bought tickets the day of - $1,000 per ticket. My god.
I've been a huge proponent of post-season expansion for college football, but I'm starting to have second thoughts if we've really created the best case scenario for everybody.
I bought refundable airline tickets to Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and to Atlanta. Will figure out tickets later.Feels like I need a 2nd and 3rd job if I want to try and watch any of the post-season games in person.

I mean technically it’s just a money grab for the conference. Wouldn’t shock me if a few decide to get rid of them if this format sticks, which it probably won’tBack to what is the point of championship games? They punish more than help at this point.

Miss St or UNT for Arnold I am sure. OU desperately needs to get Mateer.Jackson Arnold to the portal? Oh nooo, Jackson, wait........
Would love if this portends a Mateer to OU move too.

Yeah I saw that crazy.

You've always been much smarter than me....
I might aim for Dallas since I have free lodging and flights to DFW aren't too bad. I imagine tickets to attend would be cheap too. You see the cost to get into the game on Sat? Tickets available for $12. Twelve dollars!
Any FBG coming to Dallas are, as usual, welcome to hit me up. Wine or beer or cocktail probably in it for ya among the friendship.Yeah I saw that crazy.

Going to see SMU play the CG would be like $2k just for the flights, and Charlotte is a hub. If they get a bye and a home game it's TBD where it would be, if they play in the first round at home somehow it will be on campus.Yeah I saw that crazy.

My brother lives in Boise and is at the game. He says the local love for Jeanty is off the charts.Jeanty for Heisman, IMO.
What he's doing is record breaking from some of the best who have ever laced them up.
My god.
The blue turf is horrible. Hated it when they installed it and still do to this day.
I think it's great he's at where he's at.It’s a bummer Jeanty doesn’t play for a REAL team in a REAL conference. Cuz this would be a special season if that were the case. Bummer.
Dude continually sees 8 in the box and says, **** you, TD! Herman and it’s not even close, even if Mr. Snaps actually is gonna win.
Snaps ain’t a stat….

I think you misunderstood, GM. I'm trolling Moe since he's the one who said Jeanty plays in a kiddie conference on a kiddie team. I've said since week 3 that Jeanty should be leading the Heisman race....It’s a bummer Jeanty doesn’t play for a REAL team in a REAL conference.

Dude, Boise State should have beat Oregon.
And they are getting a 1st round bye in the playoffs.
Boise State could very well win the 2024 championship.
Colorado is going where.....the PopTart Bowl?
