When in doubt, stick to the classics. After years and decades and centuries of bitching about how voting a champion was bullshit and the only true way to see who was the best was an arbitrary entry tournament, we finally have a playoff in major college football! True, it's only four teams and it's not going to solve any of the minor problems, much less the larger ones that are threatening to radically change Our Dumb Sport, but minor progress is still progress. Especially when it involves the South. KOOP YOU DUMB poo poo IT'S THE FIRST WEEKEND OF OCTOBER AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY BOWL-ELIGIBLE TEAMS THE gently caress YOU DOING THIS FOR? Don't judge me. OKAY HOW DOES THIS THING WORK? So the four BCS bowls (Orange, Sugar, Rose, Fiesta) along with two other bowls (Peach, Cotton) effectively make up the Playoff Bowls. They'll rotate on a yearly basis, with the Sugar and Rose serving as the Semi-Finals and the Finals being bid out to whoever opens up their wallets the most. (To the surprise of no one, Jerry Jones' stadium will host the first championship game.) When hosting a Semi-Final, any previous bowl tie-ins will be null and void. The other four bowls are called Access Bowls, and they'll keep whatever pre-existing tie-ins they have, along with a guarantee to take any Power 5 conference champion that doesn't make the Playoff, as well as the highest ranking team from the Group of Five. For reference - Power 5 conferences - ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC. Group of Five - American, C-USA, MAC, MWC, Sun Belt. Notre Dame is considered part of the Power 5 because they were good when your grandpa watched football. BYU, Navy and Army are part of the Group of Five because. SO HOW DOES THE COMPUTERS AND STUFF THAT SAY SOUTH FLORIDA'S A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM MATTER INTO ALL THIS? They don't. While the Coaches and AP Polls are still in effect and being used for generating hype on a week to week basis, they have no bearing on who makes any of the six primary bowls. Instead, a committee has been created that will release their own rankings on a semi-regular basis, and will ultimately place teams in the two Playoff games and the four Access bowls. Other then that the conference champions from the Group of 5 have to be in one of the six games, they have the freedom to do whatever they want. The committee is made up of 13 members with varying degrees of experience within college football, from current ADs (Arkansas' Jeff Long, who chairs the committee since Arkansas will never see any of these games in our lifetimes, Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez, USC's Pat Haden when he's summoned) to former coaches and players ( SO WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TWENTY-FIVE JILLION BOWLS WE HAVE? THEY DON'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE? There's 32 other bowls and they matter as little as they did before. You still need to win half of your games to play in one or bend the rules enough that we'll feel sorry for you and let you in Georgia Tech. I don't feel like getting on my soapbox and ranting about the bowls since I did that last year so if you have archives go back and see what I wrote then. Bowls are awesome when it's two teams who feel like getting into a shootout and suck when it's two teams who don't feel like being in Shreveport Since I hate myself, I like to try and predict all of the bowls ahead of time and see just how far off I am on a week to week basis. Feel free to join in! C. Everett Koop fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 20, 2014 |

I hate wasting a high order post, just to disagree with you, but NEVER, never, never complain about more football. If they want to add another 32 bowls to the postseason, then I'm all for it.

Gonna take a guess on the playoff teams so I can come back in December and laugh at how wrong I am. 1. Auburn 2. Baylor 3. Notre Dame 4. Michigan State I'm least confident on the last one, but I think they've got a good chance of winning out (better than any of the Pac-12 teams) and I don't think the committee will include two teams from one conference unless there are no one loss P5 teams available from an unrepresented conference. It pains me to include Notre Dame in the list but I think they beat Florida State and the only other school in their way short of dropping a bad game is Arizona State.

One point on the OP, I don't think you're using "contract bowl" correctly. The term doesn't refer to any given year's rotating non-playoff bowls; the three contract bowls are called that in contrast to "access bowls", the three playoff-affiliated bowls that aren't bound by traditional tie-ins.Nola.com posted:The Sugar, Rose and Orange bowls are the contract bowls, meaning they are affiliated with two or more of the five power conferences, the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, ACC and PAC-12.

HOTLANTA MAN posted:You have Georgia Southern in the Texas Bowl and they're ineligible He also has the Grey Cup winner (Canadian Football) in the Quick Lane bowl. He only had 71 bowl eligible teams, so the first ones that get a crack at that spot are the teams that are 6-7, then the provisional teams, then the ones who didn't play enough FBS teams, then the 5-6 teams, then the 5-7 teams.

He only had 71 bowl eligible teams, so the first ones that get a crack at that spot are the teams that are 6-7, then the provisional teams, then the ones who didn't play enough FBS teams, then the 5-6 teams, then the 5-7 teams. 6-7 teams have an exception that allows them to pretend they're 6-6 if the seventh loss comes in a conference championship game. This is a change from the original version of this rule, which stuck them between items 2 and 3 below and was therefore only invoked if there weren't enough regular bowl-eligible teams. Also, if we somehow get a conference champion with a losing record, they're bowl eligible automatically as long as their conference has a bowl to send them to. For everybody else the order is as follows: 1. Teams (who more or less necessarily must have a 6-6 record) who have a win over an FCS opponent that doesn't offer enough scholarships to count for the FCS Opponent exception (Ivy, Patriot, Pioneer, etc.). 2. Teams with a .500 winning percentage or better with two FCS wins (and not enough other wins to qualify normally). 3. 6-7 teams whose seventh loss came in the regular season (because they played an away game at Hawaii or whatever). 4. Teams in their last year of reclassification who would qualify if they were full members (App State, Georgia Southern and Old Dominion, basically, should they finish 6-6 or better). 5. 5-7 teams with top-five FBS APR (which, this year, would be Duke, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Utah State and Boise State, I think). There's also a slight quirk in that any individual bowl game is only allowed to pick a team from these groups once in a four-year period, and this provision won't be available after 2015 unless they change the rule to extend it. The handbook doesn't say what happens if, even with the use of these five groups, there aren't enough teams to be found.

However with the G5 I hope these teams aren't that lovely and always get thrown in the Fiesta Bowl. As a west coast guy, I supopose that the Fiesta will almost always get a pac-12 school due to proximity and just don't want to see the Pac-12 vs G5 school each year.

I'm confused. It isn't possible for a conference to have an uneven record against itself, right? Unless I've been repeatedly doing the math wrong, you have that happening in your projections for nearly every conference, except the SEC. Some are only one game over/under, others are several off.

Unless I've been repeatedly doing the math wrong, you have that happening in your projections for nearly every conference, except the SEC. Some are only one game over/under, others are several off. Not by design, but for a lot of these I'm just eyeballing them and going "sure x should beat y" and then forgetting exactly what I've done. I try to redo the projections each week, so the math will eventually even itself out by process of elimination. Yes I could actually do comparisons and poo poo and base my projections off of poo poo like facts but gently caress that I ain't paying more attention to the MAC East or C-USA than I have to.

Marshall would have to destroy everyone they play by like 50+ to even be considered. They're a good team this year but they're playing an absolute shitbox schedule. They'd need quite a bit of help from P5 teams getting upset in conference championships or something as well.

Texas Tech must beat UT (home) and ISU (road) and then upset one of TCU (-20), OU, or Baylor to make it to a bowl game. Giving up the game winning field goal to WVU looks terrible right now. Completely different season if we're the ones who took that game. go from 3-4 outside looking in to 4-3 and riding a bit of momentum into the end of the season.

I have historically disliked FSU, but I hope to God they win out because they're the only team that might save us from an all SEC playoffs.
