kayakyakr posted:Tech's destiny to play A&M in either the Texas or Liberty Bowl has not been altered in my mind. WVU dropping one of their next two games or TTU beating UT in Austin on Thursday will solidify that. I've been calling Tech vs. A&M in the Texas Bowl since almost day 1, since there's no way that the Texas bowl would pass up either of those two for like West Virginia or someone else in the SEC since Arkansas went there last year.

Irish move up to three with their "win and in" against Stanford on deck. Iowa moves into the top 4 by virtue of being 11-0, but Sparty gets parked behind them in the catbird seat and effectively sets up a "win and in" Big Ten title game. Sooners get moved up to six, but you can only give them so much since they have the bad loss to Texas and only beat a wounded TCU at home by one. They're in great shape to take advantage of a Notre Dame loss, but still need to win Bedlam to even do that. Ohio State falls to seven and now need help. So this means Clemson at one, Bama two, and whoever wins the Big Ten (right now Sparty) at three. But that leaves four open, and if I'm going to have the Irish losing at Stanford that opens up that spot. Stanford gets a boost from beating Notre Dame, but not enough to overcome two losses. 11-1 Baylor ends up winning the Big 12 after they beat TCU and 11-1 Oklahoma State wins Bedlam but loses on the H2H, but they aren't trending up. Instead, the committee breaks away from the expected and reward Iowa for their 12-0 season, and if they don't get crushed in the Big Ten title game, 12-1 Iowa makes the playoff, and the cries of protest from the state of Texas are heard from space, followed shortly by phone calls to Provo and Cincinnati. Peach Bowl: Notre Dame (At-Large) vs. Navy (Group of 5 rep) Sugar Bowl: Florida (SEC rep) vs. Baylor (Big 12 Rep) Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State (At-Large) vs. Florida State (At-Large) Rose Bowl: Ohio State (B1G Rep) vs. Stanford (Pac-12 Rep) Only the Sugar stays the same, as Florida's the best of a pathetic lot and takes the SEC's spot, matching up against the Big 12 champs and grumpier than ever Baylor team. Ohio State falls to the Rose Bowl, which is a pretty swanky consolation prize, and face Pac-12 champs Stanford. Notre Dame heads to the Peach, and to avoid an ACC matchup they face Navy with the Group of 5 bid despite Trump demanding Navy make the Playoff and raising 20 million to overthrow the muzzie commie liberal playoff committee thanks to your racist grandparents. Oklahoma State to the Fiesta, where they face Florida State, who steadily snuck up the polls and take advantage of UNC/Michigan taking late losses. And the rest: pre:Cactus Bowl Jan. 2 Tempe, Ariz.

I really do love and appreciate Iowa getting into the playoffs as a 12-1 team, but they won't make Notre Dame and Navy play again. My guess is that FSU/Navy would switch spots, and we'd get to see OkSt/Navy and ND/FSU.

I really have a hard time believing that they'll leave a 1 loss Big XII champ out. And if they do, the reaction won't be to add teams (I don't think the Big XII will ever add teams before 2026), but instead will be to ensure that everyone is playing on the last day of the season. On that note, if OSU upsets OU next weekend, Baylor does get to play the last weekend, which might be just enough to get them in over an at-large team. ps: kill the 4 team playoff. Burn it to the ground.

If we had the fabled 8 team playoff with each conference champ, a G5 representative, and two at-larges, this is what we'd have (based off of your predictions, of course:) 1. Clemson 8. Stanford 4. Baylor 5. Iowa 3. Michigan State 6. Oklahoma State 2. Alabama 7. Navy Those would all be awesome games.

BG isn't mathematically eliminated from the G5 spot but they might as well be. Memphis dropping off lately really hurts and losing to Toledo pretty much ended it. Toledo still makes it to the MAC Championship if Ohio somehow upends NIU and Toledo beats Western.

Why does Florida State keep getting mentioned for the Peach as an At-Large team when they're ranked like 14th? Is there a limit to # of teams the other conferences can provide? i.e. Could BXII get 1 playoff team and then in theory 3 teams since Rose is protected for a total of 4? North Carolina is generally rated higher than FSU too but not listed. Is it that the ACCCG loss that UNC will have will drop them below FSU?

Count in teams ahead of them losing and that only helps the Noles. 2: UNC's loss drops them down and the Heels are seen as a weaker team, discount both teams losing to Clemson and UNC's loss to South Carolina is worse than FSU's loss to Georgia Tech, especially with how flukey the ending was. 3: Peach is mentioned due to geography, Fiesta could be in the conversation as well.

I imagine it'll be a mix of APR/names/non-lame duck teams. You can all but pencil Nebraska in since they'll hit all three, after that who knows. In addition, MTSU is confirmed for the Bahamas Bowl, so unless BYU announced their choice when I wasn't paying attention that's our first team booked. 79 to go!

So if we go by what the Committee dropped on us today: Orange Bowl: #1 Clemson (ACC Champs) vs. #4 Iowa (B1G Champs) Cotton Bowl: #2 Alabama (SEC Champs) vs. #3 Oklahoma (B12 Champs) Peach Bowl: Notre Dame (At-Large) vs. Michigan (At-Large) Sugar Bowl: Florida (SEC Rep) vs. Baylor (B12 Rep) Fiesta Bowl: Ohio State (At-Large) vs. Navy (G5 Rep) Rose Bowl: Michigan State (B1G Rep) vs. Stanford (P12 Reps) Remember, we're going by the rankings, so #5 Sparty and #9 Stanford head to the Rose while #7 Baylor and #12 Florida go to the Sugar per their league's ties. Navy is the G5 rep at #15, which leaves #6 Notre Dame, #8 Ohio State, and #10 Michigan. We're not going to get a rematch between the latter two, and we're not going to get a Navy/ND rematch either. By virtue of being the higher seeded team, the Irish get their pick and head to the slightly more prestigious Peach Bowl, and while they would normally get the easier G5 rep the rematch clause comes into play and they come up against their old foe Michigan.

C. Everett Koop posted:1: Beating Florida bumps them up into the 10-12 range, and since the committee places 11 teams and the G5 rep they don't need to jump any higher. Count in teams ahead of them losing and that only helps the Noles. Makes sense.. so in essence we have the following scenarios: CFP: Clemson- wins out, any loss takes them to NY6 SECCG winner: Alabama vs Florida (assuming FL beats FSU) BIGCG winner: Iowa vs Michigan State/Ohio State BXII champ (Oklahoma/Baylor/Ok State) NY6: 1) Non-power5: Navy/Houston/Temple/Toledo 2) Pac-12 winner: Stanford/UCLA/USC 3) BXII runner up: Oklahoma/Baylor/Ok State/TCU 4) B1GCG loser 5) Ohio State vs Michigan winner 6) Notre Dame vs Stanford winner. In case Stanford Wins & then Loses PacCG. 7) SECCG loser or OleMiss/MissSt winner if FL L to FSU too 8) Florida vs Florida St winner. If FL W , would get CFP or in via #7. FSU W = in NY6. *)2-loss BXII 3rd could take last spot with #6-8 clusterfuck

For the playoff, you're right with Clemson and the SEC scenario since if Gator beats two top #15 teams, especially #2 Bama, they'll be in regardless of how bad they've looked. You've left out Michigan in your B1G scenario since they're alive, and if Baylor/OkieLite wins the B12 11-1 Notre Dame might jump them. Maybe. After that, 5 of the 8 NY6 slots are booked. SEC/B1G/B12/P12 all have guaranteed slots in the Rose/Sugar Bowls, and the Group of 5 rep (Navy/Houston/Temple, hard to see Toledo getting the nod at this point) gets a spot, so it then becomes the next three highest ranked teams in the final poll. If Stanford and Florida take some losses, it's very conceivable that a Top 10 team gets left out of the whole shebang.

Clemson/Bama/Sparty handle business to take the first three, but after the Irish take an L do you go with Stanford jumping five spots to get in, Oklahoma State with the better win but having to jump seven, or does Iowa simply not move? This also goes under the assumption that the committee doesn't somehow backdoor Ohio State into #4 again, which I don't think they'll do since they won't reward someone who didn't win their division, much less their conference. The committee has shown that they're willing to really move teams around, but seven spots even though OkieLite has the most impressive win? I really don't know what you do here, tbh. Since I need to decide something, I'll give Stanford a win over a ranked team in UCLA and that extra win is enough to push them over Oklahoma State, and thus the cries that the Big 12 needs a title game are heard once more. We also learn not to count teams/conferences out, and too much poo poo happens. Of course, Notre Dame will end up winning and getting in because God is Real and it's the Fred Phelps-type God because gently caress You That's Why. From there, Oregon slides into the Rose Bowl as the Pac-12 now place two here, they'll face Iowa in the Rose. Florida's two losses aren't enough to knock them behind Mississippi State who wins the Egg Bowl, but if Ole Miss wins they might get to the Sugar at 9-3 over a slumping Gator squad. Oklahoma State heads to the Sugar as the Big 12 champs. At-Large's, Notre Dame draws Houston but ends up in the Fiesta, as Ohio State/FSU draw the Peach for geographical concerns.

BTW, I'm putting BYU out in Hawai'i because the basketball team is playing a tourny out there at the same time and thus doing a package deal to entice fans to travel works. If they chose Vegas they'd have to do Hawai'i again later or hope that they'd be in a conference by then and can just ignore the previous agreement.

Still think they put osu in over Stanford. Everyone should know by now that the previous week's rankings don't matter to the committee. It is possible that Stanford gets in on the strength of old-man football, but *shrug*.

CaptainYesterday posted:At least two 5-7 teams will be going bowling 5-7 teams: East Carolina Nebraska Illinois Minnesota Florida International Old Dominion Rice UTEP Buffalo San Jose State Kentucky Missouri 5-6 Teams: (will create another spot for a 5-7 team if they lose) Kansas State (5-7 if they lose to WVU) South Alabama (5-7 if they lose to App State) 4-7 Teams: (need one more win to have a chance) Louisiana-Lafayette (need to beat Troy) Texas (need to beat Baylor) So, assuming KSU and USA both lose like they should, we'll have four spots open for 5-7 teams. My thoughts: Nebraska (probably the best 5-7 team in the nation, has wins against Michigan State and Southern Miss and a huge fanbase) Missouri (strong OOC schedule featuring Ark State and BYU, Gary Pinkel's last game) East Carolina (Strong slate of losses because the AAC is good this year, OOC included BYU and Florida, beat Virginia Tech as well) One of Kentucky/Illinois/Minnesota (Will be Texas if they beat Baylor, but that's not gonna happen so they'll take another Power 5 team and call it a day)
