That's over
Still wouldn't mind a Duke win for havoc

 

[Dirty Bird]

I think BYU shat the bed just enough that NOtre Dame might jump them.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I started writing about how impressed I was with Boise State. Going 9-4, with those 4 losses being against 4 loss teams or better, 2 with our backup QB, and the other 2 against a pair of bloody good teams OOC.
I then looked and went, wait, what happened to the SEC gauntlet we all hear about, and it lead me down the rabbit hole of figuring out what teams actually had hard teams/easy teams on their schedules.

Here's all 136 teams with how many games were against 8 win teams or better

8 - Colorado, West Virginia, Wisconsin
7 - Arkansas, Boise State, BYU, Colorado State, Duke, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi State, NC State, Purdue, Stanford, Syracuse, UCLA, Utah State, Virginia Tech
6 - Air Force, Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Baylor, Boston College, Florida Atlantic, Georgia, Georgia State, Kansas, LSU, Nevada, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Rice, Rutgers, South Carolina, Temple, UAB
5 - Arizona, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Florida State, Georgia Southern, Iowa State, Kansas State, Louisville, Memphis, Miami (Fl), Miami (Oh), Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Sam Houston, San Jose State, South Florida, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, USC, UTSA, Wyoming
4 - Army, Ball State, California, Central Michigan, Clemson, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, FIU, Hawai'i, Houston, Illinois, Iowa, Kennesaw State, Liberty, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Missouri State, Navy, New Mexico, New Mexico State, North Texas, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Oregon, Penn State, Pittsburgh, San Diego State, SMU, Tennessee, Tulane, Tulsa, UCF, UNLV, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington, Western Michigan
3 - Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Buffalo, East Carolina, Fresno State, Georgia Tech, Jacksonville State, James Madison, Kent State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, Old Dominion, Ole Miss, South Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas State, Troy, Utah, UTEP
2 - Eastern Michigan, Louisiana Tech, Ohio, Southern Miss, Toledo, Virginia, Western Kentucky
1 - Akron
0 - Connecticut

And now that I've put it like that for myself.
Texas A&M are in when the only 8-4+ teams they played were Texas, Missouri and Notre Dame?
Ole Miss are in when the only 8-4+ teams they played were Tulane, Georgia and Oklahoma?
Virginia are win and they're in when the only 8-4+ teams they've played are Louisville and Wake Forest?

Seeing it like that really makes me feel we need divisions back.

Sure, we might not get the BEST Conference championship game, but it eliminates the potential for these skewed schedules where teams aren't challenged and coast into the playoffs courtesy of their schedule.

What Texas A&M got: Auburn, Mississippi State, Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas
What they could've had if they did an East/West Split: Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Arkansas, Missouri, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, 1x East school.

And just like that they have Texas, Missouri, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and a 50% chance of a 6th team from the East Division. Harder difficulty, and they could've ****ing earnt their spot in the CFP, rather than being handed to them.

 

[Dirty Bird]

So, Umm, North Dakota State just blew a 28-14 lead with 3 minutes left in the game

 

[Dirty Bird]

Dang - Montana/Montana State are on the same side of the draw
Would still be a huge Semi Final if it happens.

 

[Dirty Bird]

What the hell - ESPN has Indiana as favourites

 

[kaiserchief13]

Surely these teams stay as 1/2 after this game? Wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch in the NC

 

[deck]

Virginia tie it up late. ACC Championship looks like it's going to OT.

No cigar.

Welcome to the other Dukes - James Madison, to the Playoffs!

 

[Shade]

Indiana is about to run the big ten for as long as cignetti as at the helm wait till he starts getting 4 and 5 star recruits.

 

[Shade]

What Cignetti has done is probably the greatest coaching feat in modern CFB history.

It's' a bunch of rag tag portal dudes and 3 stars.

Insane

 

[gaskin]

Nice to beat the cousin ****ers for once. Amazing what can happen when you actually get pressure on the QB.

2 G5 teams in the playoffs due to Duke winning is laughable.

Lol @ dumb campaigners like Klatt that suck Ohio State off at every opportunity and said nobody was going to beat them. Good job Hoosiers.

Mendoza is the first qb drafted next year isnt he?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Had to watch the minis as busy all day. BYU are bums and Texas would beat them up. Also not that convinced on Texas Tech. Odd the mini skipped two touchdowns (one was shown later as a replay). Alabama are bums too. Terrible. Left the best game to last but couldn’t watch it as Big 10 championship was not on Disney. Spewing.

 

[Constantgin]

Alabama doesn't deserve to be in after today. -3 rushing yards for the day and played horrible yet somehow it didn't effect their ranking. Every other team that lost went down just doesn't matter when its Bama.
Damn corrupt cfb and espn.



Guess I don't have to watch this years championship atleast.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Texas playing Michigan and Notre Dame have tapped out.

 

[Constantgin]

Right decision. No reason to risk injuries for meaningless bowl game that creates money for network that screwed you out of shot at national championship

 

[Constantgin]

Hope a whole heap more drop out

Going through the fixtures of some of the teams that made it. Yeah might have more wins than Texas but that came about due to having an easier schedule. Can’t see any team outside of 3 of the top 4 winning it.
