If OU makes the playoffs, it will make Lincoln Riley wait before taking an NFL job.
Biff, I’ve explained my plan several times. I wouldn’t do 8 unless three G6/Independents earned it. You end up getting a P5 team that couldn’t get to the championship or just got beat. This year I’d take the P5 champs and a top 16 Memphis.
The committee's mistake was to undervalue Baylor initially. A two loss team won't make the playoffs if there are four or more 0-1 loss P5 teams. The first poll should reflect that reality and have teams with less than two losses occupy the top of the ranking.
I understand your plan and think it's crazy and think Memphis has no business anywhere near a playoff for the national championship. They're about as good as Wake and their best win is by 10 points against a team that lost to tOSU 42-0.
There are also a lot of other people in the world who parrot an 8-team plan where the 5 confrence champion and the highest ranked G5 school makes the playoff ever damn year.
Exactly. It's the same thing every year. They say they want to reward you for playing a tough schedule, but if you go 4-2 against top-15 teams, they let in 12-1 Clemson who lost to Syracuse, or the Washington Huskies, or Alabama or Ohio State that didn't play in its conference championship.
Extremely good point.The idea that a team should be ranked because all of their losses were to ranked teams is flawed as well. Unless the team has beaten a ranked team, all the losses prove is that team can't beat a ranked team and haven't earned ranking despite multiple opportunities.
Tonight at 8:00 EST, which is 5:00 on a Friday on the west coast, which is the traditional time for a college football conference championship game, if you don't want anyone to watch it.
Strong start by Oregon but seems like they should have more than a 10-0 lead. Utah hasn't been able to do much and Oregon stopped Utah on 4th down, blocked a punt, and picked Utah in the endzone. Feels like Utah will go up 14-10 or 14-13 in the 2nd Q and keep the lead.
If Utah wins I don't see Baylor getting in, so that could affect the Bears' performance negatively. I'd still give OU a shot if Utah wins.
