How did Louisiana Tech end up stranded like this? They were a model G5 program for many years, now they’re getting blackballed from the Sun Belt by the ULs?

dirty shrimp money posted:I reckon the playoffs looks like - If UGA gets past Florida next week, then their chances of going undefeated in the regular season are like 99%, which is rare air for the program and it'd be intriguing how they'd play the SECCG against Bama knowing the Dawgs were already in the CFP.

Also this has to be a kick in the teeth for UTEP, who are having their best season in years and were looking like carving out a little niche.

Western Kentucky seems to be getting left out in the cold too with the impending doom of CUSA. Wonder if the Sun Belt would let them back in eventually.

A two loss Alabama (assuming they lose to Georgia in the SECCG) should not go to the playoffs. If Cincinnati goes undefeated, it will be such a travesty to see them left out while a 2 loss Alabama gets in. A Big Ten East might still beat itself up some more and eliminate the conference from playoff consideration, but honestly, the playoffs come down to Penn State @ Ohio State next weekend. I think Ohio State will win, but if Clifford is healthy, the defense is better than anything OSU has seen this year, so anything can happen. I do not see OSU or PSU dropping the Michigan or Michigan State games.

They are just stacked and exceptionally well coached. The player development over the last 3 or so years there is insane.

If GA and Bama both have 1 loss they both go, but 2 losses should cut either compared to an undefeated cincy. a 1 loss big12 champ vs undefeated cincinatti is imo the more likely debate

Cincinnati is already #2 in the AP Poll, and unless some Big Ten team runs the table I can't see them dropping out of the top 3 without a loss. e: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3982814

Harsin is already vaccinated iirc, I think he’s just dragged his feet when it comes to pushing his players to get vaccinated.

They extended Arizona's president inexplicably so I guess the AD who is their friend isn't going anywhere. Which makes it pointless to say, "Hey Fisch just can't do this right now." I dunno, probably best to not start over again anyway. Godzilla07 posted:CUSA seems very dead with this news: Maybe the trend of schools moving to D1 continues?

I wonder what brought this along, though I don't follow Alabama politics that closely. I wonder if that is just a university requirement or if it was like the Washington thing where it is state employees.

Weird to think I now live in a state with two Sun Belt teams. UVA will definitely drop their occasional gimme JMU game now that they're FBS (not necessarily a gimme game anyway). I guess this means there's an open spot for UMass to join the CAA

Through this order and guidance, the federal government is requiring all federal contractors and subcontractors to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for employees, including those who work at a university with federal contracts. So this is Biden I guess since those state universities get federal money if I'm reading that correctly?

If you can’t win your conference you shouldn’t be in the playoff. You had your chance. Sucks to suck. The regular season means nothing outside of a few conferences if you can win your conference and have someone chosen over you who didn’t. You want more parity in college football? Stop letting teams in the playoff if they can’t win their conference. It’d be a marginal change but it’s still a chance in the right direction. Otherwise call it the University of Alabama playoff and just give them a spot before the season even starts. The SEC championship game is the most meaningless game of the season because of the current bullshit. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Oct 23, 2021 |

The playoffs aren't looking for four conference champions, they're looking for the four best teams. Your argument is silly. 2016 Ohio State was clearly better than 2016 Penn State, despite their direct loss & PSU's conference championship that year

why are people bitching about alabama maybe getting in after not winning the conference? We've been left out previously as a two loss team. Criticize the committee for constantly putting in Notre Dame when they don't have to do anything edit: or an ohio state team that only won 6 games
