Bowl projections

Nah. Neither will play unless it’s CFP. They are both projected top 5-7 picks…. Unless the get hurt in an exhibition game 4 months before the draft

I could see Travis not play or play less, but Shedeur would help dad win if possible, losing a bowl game in terrible fashion is off brand
 
I would guess we will punch above our weight class by a selection committee. To many eyes and money to be made.

It isn't, but he's smart enough to listen and knowing CP I do not think that he'll flat out tell him it'd be smarter to sit but he'll make damn sure Travis is aware of the pros and cons. I also think that CP has more interest in the draft stock of his guys than how it affects his team's chances of winning a game where the result matters very little in the grand scheme of things.

With NIL, they could make good bank in pre-bowl advertising. In other words, they can now get paid to play in a bowl game.
 
Two loss teams ranked ahead of us in the AP poll? Just Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss. Remaining schedules for those teams:

Alabama
11/9 at LSU
11/16 Mercer (What a joke. Ban November body bag games!)
11/23 at Oklahoma
11/30 Auburn

LSU
11/9 Alabama
11/16 at Florida
11/23 Vanderbilt
11/30 Oklamoma

Ole Miss
11/2 at Arkansas
11/9 Georgia
11/23 at Florida
11/29 Mississippi St

There is a very real possibility that they all drop another game or two. And there are plenty of losses still to come for the current undefeated and one loss teams. Win out and we’ve got a shot at the CFP even if we don’t make the Big 12 Championship Game.

The problem for hoping to get an at-large berth is our schedule - no real marquee wins. And here's plenty of competition ahead of us:

In the mix right now:
4-5 SEC teams, even after the LSU/Bama loser is essentially eliminated this week.
4 B1G teams
2, maybe 3 ACC teams in the mix
G5 bid
ND
Big 12 champ, plus possibly ISU/BYU

It's a crowded field right now but there's a month of football left and hopefully we'll get plenty of chaos both nationally and at the top of the Big 12.

But we beat that PAC-12 powerhouse CSU!

CFB exists to sell insurance, dick pills, and beer.

We get 10 wins and we’re in because we will sell a lot of the above.

Seeing as we’ll go 6-6, it’s moot

The narrative about the weak B12 is fascinating. Of the former P12 teams, Oregon is the only one I can say for sure we would be an underdog against. I’d like our chances against every other team in what was the P12.

LSU/Alabama is the week after this, not this one.

Quick opinions from me on who to root for given we will be hopefully watching chaos elsewhere. To appease @Alfred91, I'm basing this off what I think is better for our chance at a playoff spot, Going to leave out BYU/ISU/KSU because we all know who we're rooting for in games involving any of them.
Ohio State/Penn State-I'm rooting for PSU here. They don't have a loss, and Ohio State does. Ohio State's game with Indiana becomes must win if they lose here IMO.
Duke/Miami-Duke here easily.
Ole Miss/Arkansas-Ole Miss is 6-2. One more L and they're out. Arkansas has a win over Tennessee at home already, and they're one win from bowl eligibility. Woooooo Pig Sooey!
Indiana/MSU-Indiana's a fun story, but I don't think they have much margin for error. I'm rooting against them-I don't know about you guys.
A&M/South Carolina-The Gamecocks can play. They took Alabama to the wire two weeks ago-and they're good enough to beat A&M at home. Losing here may finish Aggy's playoff hopes because they're probably losing to Texas.
Louisville/Clemson-I think the ACC's only getting their champ and maybe the CCG loser, but Clemson might be enough of a brand to where they could be in the convo with 2 L's. Go Cards.
Kentucky/Tennessee-Tennessee taking another loss before they go to Georgia may finish their playoff hopes.
Pitt/SMU-Weirder school of thought for me is root for SMU but against Miami, Clemson, and Pitt in the ACC. SMU as an ACC championship game participant might get the Big 12 an extra team in because of who their loss is to. Other thing here is they have a loss and Pitt doesn't. Pitt also has wins over two Big 12 teams. Ponies are favored.

That's way too much planning. Just turn on the game and start rooting against the team you hate more.
 
It is possible albeit unlikely that Oregon, PSU, and Indiana all finish the regular season undefeated. I'm assuming they pick the conference championship game competitors by CFP rankings?
