Why?  If UNC beats Clemson, they will be a one loss conference champion and should go to the playoffs.

Ohohoho State will not benefit.

It won't help them get in the CFP if we win, but still pretty good.

Nebraska should get an invite, I think we are a better team than a good chunk of teams that will go bowling. Who cares if there are a bunch of bowls? They're fun to play and it gives us fans something else to watch. What's there to complain about when we get more football.

Step away from the crack pipe. The only winning period since 2000 was against the Big 12 and never against the SEC.   (looking at the 90's, 2000's etc, or last year's playoffs)

http://mcubed.net/ncaaf/tvc/acc/index.shtml

My prediction is Clemson, if they beat NC, will be in the playoffs, but will go out the first round regardless of if they play Alabama, MSU ( they will likely beat Iowa if their defense plays the way they did against OSU), or OU.


BTW, you can get the little NRA icon by sending proof to one of the site staff, I forget which one though.  I sent a scan of the mailing label of "American Rifleman".  I assume you know how to get a tank icon but either have chosen not to or are a worse procrastinator than I, which is saying something.

Well, yeah...that's the point.   Clemson, even with the loss, would still have a better resume than tOSU and would be more deserving of s playoff spot than tOSU.

The worst thing, or best I guess is if chaos is your thing, is Clemson and Bama both lose. Iowa pulls out a last second crazy win against Mich St like Mich St did against Mich and Stanford loses to USC.

Because only winning 1 in 3 games vs other power 5 conferences in fact means they are just as good.

Maybe.

If Stanford wins, I'm almost certain the committee gives them the last slot in the CFP, even though UNC will have beaten the CFP ranked #1 team, won the ACC, won 12games in a row, and finished 12-1.  If Stanford loses, UNC is in.

I'm not sure swapping out NCA&T for Hawaii would have made any difference (NCA&T is ranked above Hawaii by Sagarin, FWIW).  

The really interesting question is that if UNC wins and Stanford loses, does Clemson still make the CFP?  They'd be 12-1 with wins over two top-10 teams with their only loss to a top-10 team.

...or do you go with Stanford?  In most years, the Pac 12 is the second best conference.  Is this year that different?

Navy's badass helmets for Army game have hand-painted ships, custom for each position group



https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVFcxW1XIAEvc3d.png:large
Each specific ship corresponds to a set group of player positions, with a rationale for each (some better than others, sure).


• Linebacker: Cruiser- Provides anti-air defense and packs the biggest punch of Naval surface ships representative of the linebackers on the Navy football team
• Defensive Back: Destroyer- Known for significant fire power, speed, and anti-missile defense as are Navy's defensive backs
• Wide Receiver: Submarine- Predominantly utilized as blockers, wide receivers play a key role in driving the Navy rush attack, taking on a stealth-like persona as they blend into the rhythm of the offense but bring significant fire power when called upon, just like a Naval submarine
• Lineman: Amphibious Assault Ships- Just as a lineman's job is the create a hole for a running back or linebacker, these ships are utilized to establish the "beach head" that enables the invading force to gain access and ultimately accomplish their objective
• Quarterback: Aircraft Carrier- The QB of the Naval Fleet, the aircraft carrier is the ultimate decision maker; the "quick strike" weapon of the Naval fleet
• Running Back: Littoral Combat Ship- Like running backs, these fast and nimble ships can navigate through both crowded shallow and deep waters
• Kicker/Special Teams: Minesweeper- Much like the specific task of the Navy special teams, this small ship has a unique mission of identifying and eliminating mines

That really is the correct solution to the problem.  Take the champion of the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and ACC.  The last three would be debatable as to who gets in, but they likely had their chance in the regular season.

No way, no how does the SEC champ get left out.  FU gets in because they beat Ala Frickin Bama, the best college football team EVAH.

I think you'd see Bama and FU in the final four before you'd see the Bucks sneak back in.

Huskers need to play as many games and practice as much as they can to unfuck themselves for next season. I don't see the bowls for lower preforming teams as a reward exactly, they know they didn't have a good season it's a game for the fans.

Yep.  Conference Champions from the Power 5 + the 3 highest ranked teams that don't win P5 CC.  Start the first round two weeks after conference championship games.

Head to head, as of right now, I agree with Colin. However, assuming Bama wins the SECC, they ought to be in the top 4. A team that is not their conference champ should NOT be in the playoff after this weekend (Ohio State).

Cowturd is a moron. Any coach in the nation would rather play any Big 10 team rather than Alabama right now. The only team that has respect even close to Alabama is Oklahoma right now. There is no team that Alabama would not be favored over in the country. The BS about the line in a future AL/OSU game being -1 is also just that. The defense is exponentially better than last year. The run game is dominant. The passing game shows moments of brilliance (but also moments of ). You don't need a "draftable" quarterback (which is a garbage classification anyways) when the remainder of your team is dominant (and the QB is passable). I'm an admitted fan, but I like Alabama's chances to take it all this year. Oklahoma is the only team that gives me any heartburn, and I think most of that is just the lingering hangover from the Sugar Bowl game we didn't care about after losing our shot at the BCS on the Kick 6 against Auburn.

  Roger that. It's fucking dumb how even teams that are 6-6 get a bowl game, it's even worse if they let teams with a losing record get into a bowl game.

Hell, as a Husker fan I don't want to see a bowl game.  I don't think my heart can take another Tommy Armstrong game.  This season needs to mercifully be over.  That being said, they could use the practice time so I guess that is something.

how about getting rid of some of the crappy bowl games

LOL
41 bowl games this year.
80 out of 128 teams get to play.
I'm so excited to watch a 5-7 team play a 6-6 team.
Everybody gets a trophy mentality.

...or do you go with Stanford?  In most years, the Pac 12 is the second best conference.  Is this year that different?

Does playing 2 FCS teams hurt UNC if they beat Clemson?


Maybe.

If Stanford wins, I'm almost certain the committee gives them the last slot in the CFP, even though UNC will have beaten the CFP ranked #1 team, won the ACC, won 12games in a row, and finished 12-1.  If Stanford loses, UNC is in.

I'm not sure swapping out NCA&T for Hawaii would have made any difference (NCA&T is ranked above Hawaii by Sagarin, FWIW).  

The really interesting question is that if UNC wins and Stanford loses, does Clemson still make the CFP?  They'd be 12-1 with wins over two top-10 teams with their only loss to a top-10 team.


If UNC beats Clemson they deserve a playoff spot.
With the limited playoff format you almost have to look at these conference championships as the first round.

...or do you go with Stanford?  In most years, the Pac 12 is the second best conference.  Is this year that different?


Hard for me to go with a 2 loss Stanford if NC beats who has been the #1 team the majority of the year.
They slipped up bad vs Oregon a few weeks ago. If they hadn't they would be in the mix for sure. I was counting on them or Notre Dame to go 11-1 and help create additional controversy.

And 1 of the talking heads on ESPNs College Football Daily just said Oklahoma didn't deserve to be in the playoffs due to not playing a conference championship game and also playing in a "basketball score" conference.

Appears the saying "opinions are just like assholes" is true

.500 fine, but if you can't win half your games then you don't deserve it.

You don't have to eliminate bowl games if you expand the playoffs.
The bowl games will be played by better teams thus increasing viewership.
I would rather watch playoff quality teams play 2-3 different bowl games each in a playoff format than 2 shitty 6-6 teams.

B12 should have found a way to set up a championship game to settle all doubt. OU v Texas.

 



FCS wins shouldn't even be counted in the stats (9-1 UNC, 10-1 Bama). 128 teams in FBS and and not one was willing to take a late November paid beating in Tuscaloosa?  Plz.

You have to give Bama a little credit for scheduling that game late in the season to get a breather from the rigors of the SEC West and still play a game.
Saban is a crafty old bastard.

Mark Richt is interviewing with Miami today for their head coaching job.

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, former Rutgers and Bucs coach Greg Schiano, and former Miami and North Carolina coach Butch Davis are all interviewing as well.

I wonder if Miami could even get the funds together to afford Richt or Mullen.

Lots of money in Miami. Wouldn't be surprised if boosters/alumni could raise whatever they needed. I hope whoever gets the job ensures they get a new stadium.

He Is not a good fit for the program. He may be a very good coach but coaching football and fitting in with a specific type of program are two different things. That town has a certain swagger if you will and Richt doesn't have it

The sec was good before, I'm sure they'll be good again, but to say they are great this year is  delusional  

To think that Alabama is number two is equally delusional   He's right,  they've done nothing to earn that   They're good, but not great.

Nobody is great this year in my view.  Clemson #1 fine.  But after them, nobody stands out as a 100% clear #2.
