I rather doubt that the committee will see it the same way and I've made my peace with that but: lol Notre Dame is not a better team and does not have a better resume than Baylor. No, not even with the TCU loss.

The only even remotely realistic "weird" scenario I could imagine is if Georgia falls out entirely and someone in ND/Baylor/Utah makes a leap. Bama+Michigan+Cincy are indisputible locks for any halfway serious person. And Georgia won't fall out entirely. Maybe if they hadn't gotten that last touchdown to get it to 14 with a reasonable amount of time left, but they did. I'll grouse about it and I certainly have no faith that they won't offer up their hearts for Saban to rip out again, but at the end of the day empirical argument against them is pretty weak - and the brand argument against them is lol.

Also Baylor clearly ought to be ranked over ND and probably over Ohio State too, gently caress alla y'all.

LLCoolJD posted:Cincinnati are the face of a movement at this point, helped by UCF's snub. Their conference also did them a solid by scheduling an early season bye week while Notre Dame were busy playing Wisconsin. I guess SMU maybe? Boise? Although they both obviously need to elevate a bit to truly get there.

kayakyakr posted:Apparently TCU is also in the mix for Ewers. They might have a worse QB room then Tech, and for a guy that's looking for a guaranteed start, that's a good thing. This would be funny because it would likely guarantee that Caleb Williams goes down in TCU history as the QB that literally only beat Baylor and then disintegrated into mist like Sugar Bowl Trevor Knight like I suspected he would.

https://twitter.com/ESPNRittenberg/status/1467894828209823747?s=20 Genuinely confused how Aranda to Oregon would be a fit beyond the most surface-level "good coach, good program" element. Aranda was born in southern Cal, I guess that makes him a west coast guy? Frankly if I'm Oregon and I'm dead set on poaching from Baylor, I might get Jeff Grimes before I get Aranda. I'm a little shocked at how little buzz he's gotten in this cycle. Baylor's offense isn't the flashiest this year but it's pretty solid after being absolute dogshit in 2020 and being pretty weak in the latter half of 2019, especially on the offensive line.

....Possibly a dumb question. How big a deal is Mormonism at Utah as compared to BYU? I assume it's less pronounced there at the school literally named after Brigham Young, but aside from that I'm not sure.

drunk leprechaun posted:My understanding in looking at Utah and having lots of family there who have gone to both schools Utah is for sure more secular. The church holds no official power like the do at BYU. But Mormonism is still a huge cultural influence. And it is likely much more conservative than other state schools. Makes sense.

I've said before, but I'm dead certain that Texas is going to get desperate enough to go crawling to Kendal Briles or maybe even Art one day and I will be the most relentlessly toxic about it when it happens

Bird in a Blender posted:Almost sad that OU and Texas are sticking around for so long. Going to make it an uncomfortable few years. Sucks for the other teams joint the Big 12 too, unless they join early and we end up with like one year of mega conference. I don't see why OU/Texas sticking around would or should delay anyone else's plans.
