How is 28-14 a blowout and getting picked at the Marshall 8 with about 5 minutes to go? They fought back from practically giving the game away early... What kind of bowl does any team get at 6-6 if not in P2 or 4? At 10-2 there is a shot at being the G5 rep.
Unfortunately that isn’t likely. It’s the top-5 highest ranked conference champions. UConn as an independent would need to be an at large selection (top 7 non-champs in the Playoff rankings) over the P4 (well mostly P2) also rans.
Given the playoff has expanded to 12 teams does this change the bowl makeup outside CFP games?
Let’s just first get to a winning season and an offense averaging 300 yards a game so UConn is invited to a bowl. Some here are talking about G5 rep when the starting QB has never played a snap in a college football game.
Damn, could have sworn I posted that about a week ago, heck if I can find it. Agree whole heartedly!
How I would enjoy watching UConn beat Syracuse in the newly refurbished Dome.
I guess for myself it means not going to a bowl as a 12 point underdog 12 hours away in the opponents back yard. We had a decent showing of fans but were out numbered for sure After going down 4 touchdowns even my loud self was silenced for a good amount.
Hey so I have to ask, why are you so obsequious? Don't get me wrong, I think you're good dude and you contribute to the site, but you seem to go way over the top trying not to be offensive. Which makes me wonder did you get burned on another site or something? Just curious.
You should take the odds for UConn winning the national championship. Currently around +300000 to +1000000. You could fully fund UConn football NIL.
LOL... had to look up the obsequious as I am not a brainiac. Once again I learned a new word, for this I thank you.
For what it's worth, I don't think you have to try so hard at it. People aren't that sensitive here. Just be generally polite and you're fine. Just my opinion.LOL... had to look up the obsequious as I am not a brainiac. Once again I learned a new word, for this I thank you.
As for going over the top or not, I find our society doing enough of that and no reason for me to add to it.
This site has supplied enough to create opinions. I try to take the high road as a UConn addicted fan of all sports.
Surely you jest. The flaming faction hasn't posted in awhile but they will be back.
Man, that would be tough. I didn't know the pool would come from the conference champs. The G5 folks were talking up Memphis and Liberty pre-2024 season. I thought the G5 rep came from a CFP committee that regarded all members. Liberty last year had one loss, but their SOS was around 120 according to Sports Reference, UConn's was in the 80s. Was thinking even with two losses and a stronger schedule UConn would jump a Liberty.
Unfortunately that is how it works. For UConn to consider any chance of making the CFP, UConn football needs to be in a conference member.
