2021 NCAA Football (Non KU)

[pdub]

It should absolutely be Cincy but I think they put Michigan bc the whole thing is flawed.

It still shouldn't matter if Cincy keeps winning bc those top teams will face each other and someone will have to loose.

5 thoughts/comments.....

1) I learned this morning that Kansas has a better win percentage as an underdog than Michigan has had since 2015. Remember, I'm the guy who likes to point out KU has won a BCS Bowl game this millennium and ND has not. KU Football > Michigan Football and ND Football.

2) As far as the 4 "playoff teams", of course the "system" is flawed and there is going to be controversy.
If Cinci beats ECU and then Houston I don't have a problem with them being one of the four teams but I admit I hope they lose one (or both) of those games. Then what? ND may get a backdoor "invite".
Obviously if Michigan wins out, they are in over ND.

3) Nice that there are many variables in play when determining rankings but how does one determine definitively that 11-0 UTSA isn't as good as 8-3 Utah, NC State, A&M, and Wisco?

4) Are the powers that be at MSU high on crack? How do you give Mel Tucker a 10 year 95 million dollar contract? For what? Beating Michigan? They gave him the contract after Sparty lost a game by 49 points.

5) Worthless predictions....
Ole Miss by 7 over Miss St
SDSU by 6 over BSU
Iowa by 7 over Nebraska
Cinci by 13 over ECU
Ark by 17 over Mizzou
Utah by 13 over Colorado
NCST by 11 over UNC
Geo by 24 over GTech
OSU by 8 over Mich
Baylor by 10 over TXTech
Wake by 6 over BC
Hou by 28 over UConn
UTSA by 10 over NTX
Bama by 17 over Auburn
Oregon by 10 over Oregon St
MSU by 13 over PSU
Wisco by 14 over Minne
LSU by 10 over A&M
OKL by 10 over OKSt
Pitt by 10 over Cuse
SCar by 3 over Clemson
ND by 20 over Stanford
BYU by 10 over USC

Remember when Skip Holtz was supposedly a name in the KU coaching search?

Fired by LaTech today. 3-8 this year. So glad Goff didn't do something stupid and hire him.

Imagine losing to Texas in football.

Michigan Ohio State ramping up to be a classic in the snow.

[Cascadia]

Really hoping Michigan wins this game. Ohio St football fans in the Top 5 of worst fans in sports

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

If Bama loses, does ND (assuming they beat Stanford) move in to the top 4 spots or does OKSt if they beat OK?
That was almost a joke of a question.

DOWN GOES BAMA!

DOWN GOES BAMA!

What a great day of football.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Ok, crazy IF time.

I figure the top 4 on Tuesday will be 1. Geo, 2. Michigan. 3. Bama. 4. Cinci. Yes? No?

Going forward.....
Notre Dame can only sit back and watch.

If OK State beats Baylor then I feel they have to be ahead of ND but let's be honest, of course all the powers that be would prefer ND make the playoff/s over OKST.

If Bama beats Georgia I assume both make the playoff.
If Georgia beats Bama, is Bama out if OKST wins? I would think yes but again, let's be honest, all the powers that be would prefer Bama make the playoff/s over OKST.


If Houston beats Cinci than of course Cinci is out.
Is there any scenario that if Cinci wins they would be out of the playoff/s? If OKST wins, wouldn't OKSt leapfrog Cinci with wins against OK and Baylor twice, or does the committee value Cinci's win over ND more than those 3 OKST wins?

[pdub]

Cincy wont drop out at this point.
I think they'd try to find a way to keep Bama in even with a loss which isn't ideal for the Big 12.

I figure the top 4 on Tuesday will be 1. Geo, 2. Michigan. 3. Bama. 4. Cinci. Yes? No?

Yes.

If Georgia beats Bama then Bama out.
If Mich loses to Iowa then they out
If Cincy loses to UH then they out.

If Bama out then OKIE ST in with a win over Baylor
If Mich or Cincy lose as well as Bama then ND is in.

Lincoln Riley from OU to USC. Whoa

[pdub]

LOL.
I'd be kinda bummed if OU was still in the B12 but now this is good news.

[hartjack8]

That is funny we need to kick OU and UT to the curb immediately. Sit back and watch them have season after season in the sec with losing records.

[Cascadia]

Southern California a thousand times better than Norman, OK.

Unless your a hillbilly

[pdub]

You're*

[Cascadia]

Yeah, sorry, on a dog walk. I’m going to leave it as is so that psycho can quote it later

[PhDhawk]

I dunno. OU might actually play defense again with that pansy moving to SoCal.

Pac12 teams better be prepared to score some points against USC.
