Think I read depending on certain outcomes, there could be 6 ACC teams with a 6-2 conference record. What should we be rooting for so the CFP implodes? Top teams losing? How do we ensure Bama and Nd don’t make the playoff?

All I care about this weekend is that Penn State wins by a huge margin and the happless pitters lose big. I don't care about anyone else.

I think you want Auburn to beat Bama (I don't think that will happen).

You also want Stanford to pull a major upset over ND (I don't think that will happen either).


After that, it's a crap shoot.

I’m behind the Hoosiers and the Cignetti express. That would be a real slap in the face for the BIG and playoff committee/ESPIN, etc.

Forget which national writer put out the relatively simple scenario where the favorites win out with the exception of only BYU beating TT in the Big 12 CCG. If the committee would then keep the same thought process of not dropping a team (TT) "from the bracket" when losing a CCG, that would knock ND to being the first team out when the auto conference winners are included.

More oddness would be including the scenario that would have a 3-loss Pitt team that got trounced by ND on their own field only a few weeks before making it in while ND didn't.

I just want Vandy to beat Tennessee and get into the CFP.

You can't hate Vandy. It's like hating a puppy.

If Vandy, Bama, and Oklahoma all win this weekend (likely except for Vandy, and they could do it), the SEC would have no fewer than 6 10-win teams. Of course, they only play an 8-game conference schedule...but..."it just means more." Amirite? Weirdness - TAMU has played more SEC opponents with losing records than OOC opponents with losing records.

You know, if the CFP would restrict the field to teams with 10 wins or more...none other than the James Madison Dukes would make it to the CFP!

20 some years ago on Tom's old board I used to do a lot of photoshop and gif's. I did this (only a different shot from the movie) on the Shoe one year. I wish I had it. I think it's on an old hard drive.
Yeah, I remember.

I'm 100% on board with this. Diego Diego!!
For you sports bettors, Vandy is 17-6-1 ATS the last two seasons. Constantly undervalued and constantly making me money.
