CFP Race 2024

I think it's a close call. I probably lean towards SMU on the idea that they were already ranked ahead of Bama, and should not be punished for losing the CCG.

My (stupid) predictions:

1. Oregon ✅
2. Georgia (gross) ✅
3. Boise (grosser)✅
4. ASU✅

6. Notre Dame❌ (7)
7. Penn State❌ (6)

Expanding to 16 as things currently stand would add two more SEC teams (South Carolina and Ole Miss), ACC (Miami), and then one of Clemson, BYU or Missouri depending on what happens next week.

I agree that the ACC and Big 12 need to figure something out. We really needed the ACC to crumble and the top 6 to join the Big 12.

No. ACC AND Big12 crumble and the top 6 from each form a new conference. Way too much garbage in the Big12.

That'd be tough with Clemson having 3 losses, so I'm going to say no. I can't imagine the committee would put a 3 loss Clemson in the top 4 over a 1 loss Boise, either, but that's the wild card and will set the precedent for G5 programs moving forward one way or another (which actually means I could totally see Clemson being the 4 seed while Boise gets ****ed and stays at 11 or 12).

The real debate and test will be about SMU vs Alabama for the last spot if the committee follows through with their comments about losing a CCG not negatively impacting that team too severely if they are already part of the playoff field.

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. Boise State
4. ASU

5. Texas
6. Penn State
7. ND
8. Ohio State
9. Tennessee
10. Clemson
11. Indiana
12. SMU

So close to going 12/12

Also, Georgia cake walking to the Natty
 
Strength of Schedule is important, but more important is wins and losses and conference championships.

Bama has great strength of schedule, but only 9 wins.

It would be more than 12 teams. 16 at least, if not 18-20

Where are you intent on splitting the pie 20 ways? UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Wake Forest, heavily dilute value. North Carolina, Iowa, Kansas, Arizona, can be reduced to a single school.
 
I am not sure what to make of the auto byes for the 4 conference champions.

On one hand I like rewarding teams for winning their conference and felt that yesterday already lost a lot of importance and that's with the byes. You also avoid a scenario where the 2 byes are just gobbled up by the P2 every year but on the other hand the five and six seeds look like the place to be. Would you rather be Oregon and get the bye but have to deal with OSU/Tennessee in your quarterfinal or PSU that doesn't have the bye but a very manageable path to the semis with games against SMU and Boise, probably the 2 weakest teams in the field?

I like that they avoided CCG rematches in the 2nd round and that we're spared a third UGA/UT game unless both make it to the title game.

That seeding could be very different from year to year. There will be years where the top 4 seeds are more reflective of the top 4 teams.

You’re not reducing based on two schools in the same state. Also, basketball still matters until football breaks away entirely so Duke and Arizona aren’t being left out.

CU, Utah, ASU, UA, KSU, KU, OSU, and WVU

FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, Duke, UVA, VT, Louisville, Pitt, GT

That’s 18 and probably has room for TCU, Baylor, and/or Iowa State

Play a 9th game
SEC teams should lose 1-2 ranking spots for those body bag games
Joey is whiny today

Edit: Did Saban read my post???

Yes it’s great to hear Saban talk about everyone doing 9-10 conference games because his SOS argument and talking about Bama playing these tough OOC teams rings hollow when they still have 3 other body bag games, one of which is in late November

It's always funny when you have experts and analysts who are supposed to stay objective while talking about organisations that made them wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
