Official 2022 college football thread: its conference realignment season. (1 Viewer)

An absolute nightmare scenario for the committee has to be TCU and UGA losing. Obviously Ohio State, Michigan, and UGA would be in. But is the committee really going to throw in Bama and have 2 SEC teams in the playoffs and not the SEC champ of which beat Bama? Not a chance TCU gets in with a loss. Doesn’t matter if it’s by one point or by a hundred, they lose, they’re gone. They’re barely hanging on and they’re undefeated. Guess we will see after today.

Shows what a **** system the current one really is.

The crazy thing is the frogs have the most wins vs top 25 teams this year. (Cue Johnny “I did not know that”)

Yep. They should be in no matter what happens today.

I think the Big 12 is underrated. A lot of solid teams in there. It seems like Texas and Oklahoma are the only two teams that ever get any love or respect. I’m not saying I agree with TCU being eliminated. I’m just saying there isn’t a chance the committee puts them in with a loss.

 

[Instinctive]

Weird seeing the same two sentiments at once, that it seems like the conference championship games today mostly don't matter, but then also that the 12-team will devalue games...when an autobid for a championship makes your conference far more valuable IMO.

 

[Don't Toews Me]

That game was brutal for USC last night.

Caleb Williams was obviously not 100%. The tackling on defense was atrocious. Some drops on offense. Rough way to lose after an exciting season.

 

[General Malaise]

I realize it can’t happen but I wish we could just throw Utah in there

Honestly think UW is the best team in the Pac12.

I want to bash USC's horrendous defense and make fun of it for being cookie dough soft but then I remember Oregon coughed up a 28 point lead in the 2nd half where the opposing team didn't attempt one forward pass. I have no right to criticize any other team's inept defense.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

I think Sagarin's rankings are pretty good on this stuff. Even before last night they had Utah ranked ahead of USC. Which proved correct. He has TCU at #7. Not even in before today. Even before the mess of last night and potential TCU loss today, it was UGA, Mich, OSU, Ala in his system.

I can't imagine them not finding a way to make it UGA vs OSU and Ala vs Mich. No way SEC plays SEC and B10 plays B10.

Bama is not getting in with 2 losses. Book it.

12 team playoff can't come fast enough.

 

[Tom Servo]

So they pre-printed the name of the winner on a $100,000 check. Does Dr. Pepper send the other check to the impoverished third world?

Nah, they make the loser go in a back room where they shred the check in front of them.

 

[Galileo]

This is not looking good right now. TCU needs to answer.

 

[dickey moe]

Gift-wrapped muff on the punt.

I'll take it. Now let's make it worth something

 

[Galileo]

Hopefully that is the spark to get things going right

 

[Galileo]

Huge play there on D

 

[dickey moe]

Bad bad bad

 

[Jayded]

So this is how Alabama sneaks in

 

[Osaurus]

ND’s getting in, right?

 

[Jayded]

At this point root for LSU and Purdue and let all the chaos happen haha

 

[Leroy Hoard]

So this is how Alabama sneaks in

People forget Saban has a deal with the devil. Or maybe Saban really does = Satan.

 

[Galileo]

Don't worry yet. We got 'em right where we want 'em...

 

[-OZ-]

Regardless of TCU outcome
UGa
Mich
TCU
OSU

If TCU loses, they’re not getting in. Call it unfair if you want but it just isn’t going to happen.

Regardless of TCU outcome
UGa
Mich
TCU
OSU

If TCU loses, I think OSU jumps them for the OSU-UM rematch. That way there won't be the possibility of an all Big 10 National Championship game

If TCU loses, I think it’s
1. UGA
2. Mich
3. Bama
4. OSU

I think the opposite. Don’t see them pairing up the conferences in the first round of the playoffs. I think they’ll try and avoid that at all costs.

I’d guess they’d much rather pair the conferences in the first game instead of taking the chance of the pairing in the championship.
Kansas state will have two very large fan bases cheering it on today.

I think K-State wins this one today. They have been improving all year and were taking TCU to the woodshed the first time before two QB’s got hurt.

This is not looking good right now. TCU needs to answer.

TCU is answering the question of “How do we get Alabama into the CFP?”

Oh, we’re quite aware.

Legend has it that Saban took a drink from the spring at Tater Hill when he first arrived in Alabama. He was hiking on a hot day, and stumbled upon what appeared to be a refreshing repast. Something happened that day. Those in Monroe County believed he gave up any shred of good in exchange for the nectar bubbling up from the core of hell on the top of that hill. A drink that was warmer than what it appeared to be.

 

[culdeus]

Could have been at this game. Instead at a wedding. Kill me.

 

[culdeus]

Thank God for sportstream

 

[Galileo]

Damn

 

[dickey moe]

Woo-hoo what a game.

 

[Galileo]

New ball game!!!!

 

[Osaurus]

HFS!

 

[Tom Servo]

Somebody give that Duggan kid some oxygen.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Duggan kid is impressive.

 

[Jayded]

Duggan 4 Heisman

 

[Desert_Power]

Incredible drive from Duggan.

 

[-OZ-]

Even if KSU wins, TCU should be in. They’re playing well enough to make a strong argument still.

That's not how this works.

 

[Capella]

Guys, TCU is in. I don’t think anybody has to worry about it.

 

[Galileo]

Eat this and go to OT...good decision

 

[Tom Servo]

Guys, TCU is in. I don’t think anybody has to worry about it.

My sarcasm meter went off.

 

[The Commish]

ND’s getting in, right?

They should. Only team that has to play against 18 all the time.

 

[Capella]

So if the 12-team playoff were this year, KSU would be playing for a spot right now, TCU would be playing to preserve a bye, LSU, UNC and Clemson would be playing for a spot and Utah would be in. Not bad.

I guess Purdue would be playing for a spot too which super sucks. You should have to be ranked to auto qualify for one.

 

[Capella]

Guys, TCU is in. I don’t think anybody has to worry about it.

My sarcasm meter went off.

No I’m serious lol. The only way they would be out is if they got murdered like Ohio State or USC did. Getting this game to overtime means they’re in.

I think the byes go to the top 4 ranked conference champions.

Why do these reviews take so damn long

Right. Tcu would be playing for a bye. The byes would probably go to Georgia, Michigan, Tcu if they won and then Clemson/Utah or Tulane I guess.
