@@howe1371 now i believe they can win one more big game i dont think they could win all 5 thats just crazy but they lost to georgia state theres almost no way they cna make the playoffs the sec bid would probs go to a g5 champ or a big12 champ depending on if the big12 stays undefeated in byu and is bsu stays 1 loss all season to number 1 oregon i can see the big 12 or the mw taking that 4th at large spot all this doesnt matter if the sec has a 1 loss team or a 2loss team who only lost to top 10 teams
Oregon has been quietly whooping everyone since last season. Even their losses from last year came down to one or two unlucky plays..Or maybe a drive at the most... And they still looked like the better team even though they lost. I wouldn't necessarily consider them a sleeper, but no one is playing at their level right now.
And this is why we needed the expanded playoff. Halfway through the season and there's still a glimmer of hope for 28% of teams. By this point last season, there were only about 15 teams (11%) left in the playoff race.
@@Foggydidwhat personally, I think it should be 24 teams. That's what FCS does with fewer total teams. Top 8 teams get a bye, 16 at-large bids. Even with a 24 team playoff, it would still be the most exclusive postseason in collegiate or professional sports, consisting of only the top 18% of teams. For reference, the NCAA tournament includes 68/355, which is still 19% of teams. The most inclusive is the NBA, which (including play-in teams) takes the top 67%.
@@nathanvandyke9951 I agree as a fan more playoff games would be fun from a fan perspective , but having potentially a 18 game season is really risky to players’ financial futures and career aspirations in the sport. The risk of injury drastically increases. So I think it would actually hurt the quality of the sport because “load management” would become rampant throughout all decent teams. More playoff teams lessens the meaning of the regular season. I would say the only remedy would be to drop the regular season game amount from 12 to 10 games and replace the two weeks of games with additional bye weeks or something like that.
@@nathanvandyke9951You say that. Then we start having blow-out games that everyone loves. These undefeated teams in weak conferences go up against teams with way higher talent. Then people will say they are meaningless playoff games. Kids will sit out. And we'll be back to how bowl games are treated.
@@JustN0pe3 bruh, no one is sitting out a playoff game. Do you think any of NIU's starters sat out against Notre Dame because it was supposed to be a blowout? Do you think FCS starters sit out a game against a ranked FBS because it's supposed to be a blowout. You sound like you've never played a sport before, and sitting out a playoff game is the most delusional take I've ever heard. As for blowouts in the playoffs, are we supposed to pretend that it never happens? Show me one single playoff bracket from any college or professional sports league that did not have one single blowout in it. That means no NCAA Tournaments, MLB playoffs, NBA, NFL, NCAA Baseball, Stanley Cup Playoffs, etc. should ever have any blowouts. I'm sorry, but your argument is just lame. No underdog school is going to have any players sitting out, and no playoff will ever not have a blowout game, especially not as long as the Cowboys keep making the playoffs.
That game is on the 14th and the first set of CFP games is the 20th/21st. Hopefully if they are both undefeated heading into it, they hold one spot open for the winner
@@trevorweddington3888 they can’t both be undefeated because one of them would have lost to the other in the conference championship game. They won’t save a spot because they don’t want to risk a two loss group of five team in the playoff, especially if Boise only has 1 loss.
Why was WSU not included? While its like a 35% chance they still have a shot as a potential 11-1 team with the only loss to the most likely G5 team Boise
With how the BIG10 is looking my bucks only path is to win out for a rematch at Oregon. I feel even if we somehow lose at a neutral site we’d still get in to the playoffs.
The combination of portal, NIL, and the 12 team playoff has driven a dispersal of talent that makes it possible to compete at a variety of schools rather than an elite 3-4. When you include good programs that are a rung below the very top but could contend for a title at the peak of a cycle, we now have 20 plus schools that could realistically win a natty at some point in the next 5-6 years. A. It’s effectively impossible to build a Bama/clemson/georgia/LSU 2019 etc juggernaut now….even if you manage to pull it off you won’t be able to sustain dominance year over year. B. The incredible collection of talent and depth that made those elites possible is now more evenly distributed among a dozen or more top programs. More volatility, tougher matchups, more good teams, no sustainably elite teams, and 12 teams annually making the tourney means a far more competitive sport. If 12 make it every year, that means 25-35 teams can credibly dream about making it in their best years. GREAT for the sport. College ball has been amazing for well over a century in its many iterations….these changes are absolutely essential. We’re enhancing and saving the sport….not “ruining” it. What was great then isn’t always great now….evolution is necessary.
Coming from an SEC fanboy, i dont see anyone playing at the level that Oregon is playing at right now. They are playing disciplined, methodical, high-caliber football. 🏈
Disciplined maybe, actually the most methodical team is Ohio St. Oregon, like Georgia is very big play dependent. Oregon without big plays can lose to anyone. Luckily they normally hit those plays
Memphis is 7-1.. they can still win the american lol. I mean, i'm not putting them as the favorite, but there is definitely a scenario for them. You put Louisiana in there, but not Memphis? Thats insane to me.
Outside of a win at Georgia, Tennessee's next easiest path would be to win its other remaining games but miss the SEC Championship Game. I'm calling it right now: No matter who loses the SEC Championship Game, that team is out of contention for the CFP.
If Clempson and TX make the CFP. Then Georgia doesn't win the SECCG. You're saying Georgia is out? That means Georgia beats Tenn & Ole Miss. Yet Tenn makes it over Georgia. I think you are clueless. I would like Georgia to miss the SECCG and play a joke team like Miami or Boise in the first round. That'd be more of a bye than the SECCG.
@@JustN0pe3 Nowhere did I say that Tennessee gets in over Georgia without beating them in the regular season. That's just crazy talk. Tennessee simply has a better shot at making the CFP by not having to play in the SECG. I did say that the loser of the SECG doesn't get in, and I stand by that. If the loser were Tennessee, for example, this would likely be loss #3 for them. Out. Done. Better luck next year. Georgia is, in my opinion, the most likely team to win the SEC, so that's why I didn't name them specifically.
Whoever loses the SECCG will almost certainly be in the playoff, don’t be ridiculous. The committee wouldn’t put a 10-2 SEC team over a 10-3 SEC team that had to play an extra game against UGA or Texas.
@@Braves2021-d3m Accuse me of waffling if you must. It's true that nothing I've said will mean very much in the event that BOTH Georgia AND Texas finish the regular season with one loss. Keep an eye on that Texas-Texas A&M game at the end of November. I know I will be.
Boise state could, unlv would get passed up though probably by a 2 loss Tulane or 1 loss navy or army. Boises 3 pt loss to Oregon at Oregon is a lot bigger than unlvs home loss to Syracuse by 3
Memphis is 7-1 and doesn't even get mentioned, but he mentions western Kentucky and Louisiana. I'm not sure how much he follows the group of 5. If boise takes care of business it doesn't really matter though.
@@countsudoku9141 And they almost beat LSU and Alabama on the road, committee will value those two almosts rather than a week 1 game where the cocks were getting the rust off
Points for optimism. Thing is, they're already sitting at three losses. There's a lot of two-loss teams right now that don't have a prayer. Not only would SC have to survive Texas A&M, a surging Vanderbilt, Missouri AND Clemson, but there would have to be chaos on a grander scale than that of 2007 between now and the end of the regular season. That's a lot of if's to have to rely on.
