2014-2015 College Football Discussion Thread

I won't have a problem if OSU gets in as the 4th team. If they win the title they have an argument. But like Smooth said, they haven't been impressive lately and that hurts. They need to really impress to jump people.

On a different note, Michigan should be embarrassed at how poor they are. 5-7? Pathetic. A soft and untalented team. I miss the days of big time backs, a huge OL and ramming it down their throats. Really disappointed in Hoke. Should be fired any time now. Will UM fans embrace a new approach or reject a Rich Rod type guy? A fickle fan base with an uncertain future.

They don't wanna fire him till after Jan 18th

I think winning the B1G CCG in one of the better years for the B1G this decade WITH our 3rd string QB is more than enough to get us in. Our SOS>Baylors

Why do you keep mentioning Baylor? TCU is the team you would need to jump and they put a whopping on Texas in Austin. Baylor struggled with Tech. TCU has a gimmie at home against Iowa St. Baylor would have to beat Kansas St by 50+ to even have a chance and their SOS still kicks them in the ass. TCU also has that 30-7 win against Minnesota that does not hurt their resume against Ohio St.

Yep, Baylor doesn't matter at all. Ohio State has to hope TCU somehow faceplants against Iowa State, or that Arizona somehow knocks off Oregon for the second time this season. Those are Ohio State's only chances.

Also they jump in with Alabama losing to Missouri. Imagine a playoff with no SEC teams in it. What a wonderful world. Florida St could also get knocked off by those chop blockers at Ga Tech.

I was sticking to realistic chances of upsets next weekend.

Though Florida State too has played like crap lately, so it wouldn't be impossible that Georgia Tech would be Florida State.

As for the SEC, Missouri better just hope they stay within 30 of Alabama.

I like Georgia Tech's chances. Their team would take advantage of a slow FSU start.

Bama's QB hasn't been impressive away from home (versus his stats at home, at least). If he struggles early like vs Auburn, the Mizzou game could be interesting.

[dhook27]

Why do I feel like Hoke lowkey has a real chance at keeping his job

[volsfan]

I will have a wonderful weekend, if Tech beats FSU and Mizz beats Alabama.

[dhook27]

FSU #4

[dhook27]

this is getting out of hand now

[dhook27]

Lost faith in this playoff thing...give the Noles credit for not losing, fucking ridiculous

And Baylor gets no credit for beating TCU, like holy hell what

[dhook27]

TCU beat kansas by 4 but that is never brought up

[skipwondah33]

I agree fully with your past 3 posts

Winning is still the key...regardless how bad or good it is. They can go undefeated and still will be 4th. Only thing going for them is they can't be taken out of the top 4.....can they?????

[SmoothPancakes]

I don't see how they can. It's a serious indictment of the legitimacy and credibility of the college football playoff in it's very first year if an undefeated team from a power 5 conference gets left out. The little 5 will always get fucked, so had Marshall gone undefeated, it wouldn't have mattered. But if Florida State goes undefeated, the college football playoff loses ALL credibility if an undefeated, AND defending champion, power 5 team is left out behind four one loss teams.

Baylor only beat Texas Tech by 2 points and did so by stopping a two point conversion at the end of the game. If you are going to bring up one, you need to bring up the other. Both have one loss and TCU has the better OOC win. Baylor beat TCU (but it was in Waco and TCU pretty much owned the game for 3 quarters). Baylor has played certain teams better (OU for example which they slaughtered in Norman) than TCU and on the flip side TCU threw 82 points on Tech. It's why I think the power 5 conferences should all have a conference championship and an 8 team playoff. If Baylor beats KSU and does so convincingly they have a valid complaint about being left out. Their biggest complaint would be to the spineless Big 12 commissioner who just decided that with a tie they would have co-champions last week. As long as their is one or more teams in the race for the playoffs. A touch ironic after all those commercials claiming "One True Champion."

The best quote from the commish.

Only if TCU and Baylor are both left out of the top four would the league acknowledge Baylor's head-to-head win over TCU. By contract, displaced conference champions are guaranteed spots in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Vizio Fiesta Bowl and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Bowlsby said the league would then use Baylor's win over TCU to determine which team would play in a New Year's Six bowl.

FSU is in with a win against Ga Tech. Why are they #4? No clue. I think they should be #1 (as every returning champion should be at the beginning of each year) until they lose a game. The one bright spot is that unlike in the FCS playoffs they do not have to play on another teams home field due to it's ranking.

Four years in a row ASU is playing in the Mobile, AL GoDaddy Bowl. That said, this year is the most excited one assuming we can keep our coaching staff in place for the bowl.

UL Lafayette (New Orleans), South Alabama (Camellia), Arkansas State (Go Daddy) will receive Sun Belt bowl berths sources told @ESPN

2nd what B and Smooth said completely

I mean even if you don't consider them winning last year...they are still undefeated in 1 of the major conferences and is the only undefeated team left.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep. I could see them maybe, maybe being #2 behind Alabama, but to be fourth? I'm calling bullshit on that. This committee is going to destroy the credibility of this whole thing before the first playoff game even gets played.

If OSU wins, they will swap spots with TCU. Bookit
