Week 14 (Non-UConn)

No way that committee is going to put Miami in. They should be in, but that would mean kicking out an SEC team or ND, and they just aren't going to do that.

Agreed. ND's big win is against USC and that ain't great. Plus they have the head to head win. They should be ranked ahead of ND regardless of how big the Irish run it up versus Stanford whose season ended weeks ago.

It seems unlikely they can beat Texas tech, but who knows. If they do I hope it knocks out OU, Alabama, or ND.

Knocking Alabama out after they lost their conference championship game would be something. Likely fitting, but it would still be perceived as punishing a team for losing the extra game.

And you thought you had nothing to cheer for next week? Duke over Virginia giving us to G5 teams (no ACC team) and BYU causing chaos by knocking one of the golden boys -- Bama or ND -- out.

I’m definitely not losing sleep tonight over the thought of losing all 3 OT games in the same year TWO G5s ARE LIKELY GETTING IN!

I tend to agree when it comes to Alabama, but OU would definitely be in jepoardy of being out. ND still has their name, and the clout that comes with it so I think they would be safe. I just want the damn thing to blow up at this point.

That disaster of a league beat 2 SEC teams today.

What every football fan of the CFP was waiting for UVA or Duke on the road in a CFP 1st round game. If anything the idea to expand the playoffs is off the table unless BIG and SEC get more guaranteed spots. lol

This will drive one of two things:
1) no autobids; the medium term end-state there is that the Big Ten and SEC would largely refuse to play outside of their own conferences and FCS, as you can never contest the legitimacy of how tough the conference is and how much more deserving a 4 or 5 loss SEC or Big Ten team is over a 0 or 1 loss ACC team if you have no comparative measures. (a defacto breakaway, even if there isn't an official one)

2) a much larger playoff with limited autobids outside of the SEC or Big Ten.... if you couple it with item 1; you can give a few token autobids (top 5 or 6 conference champs) and then by not playing outside the top two conferences the SEC and Big Ten would gobble up the remaining 10 or 11 (or 18 or 19) spots; depending on the size of the playoff.

The only way ESPN can protect a chaos scenario is by heavily modifying the CFP Rankings this Tuesday. I’d expect some major moves.

ESPN does not want James Madison, Duke, BYU, or Utah anywhere near the CFP.
 
I mean really that would make Virginia 7-2, still a half game up, which is a scenario the ACC runs into when they go to a 9 game conference schedule, they may have a title game decided by a half game.
 
Not sure if posted but ruttie needed 1 win at home against psu to become bowl eligible. Oh so close, oh so ruttie.
ruttie up 36-33
ruttie got the ball on their own 26 with 11 minutes to play in the game. take ball to psu 35, fumbles, psu touchdown
psu up 40-36
ruttie got the ball on their own 25 with 7 minutes to play in the game. take ball to psu 28 on a drive which included an amazing 42 yard 1 hand grab and pulled in for the catch . 2nd and 8. turnover on downs with 3:55 to play
game over
