CFP Race 2024

You genuinely think Indiana is the best team, or one of the best teams in the country?

I just don't see anything close to that.

Michigan **** them down for the most part, and tOSU is worlds beyond Michigan this year.

Michigan is basically IU's best win.

If they make the CCG they'll be in. Otherwise, FOH.

  1. A win over Vandy, who lost to Georgia State, is not very compelling to me. Neither is a result against Michigan, who's 5-5.
  2. Indiana has the 6th ranked Strength of Record. Texas is 10th. They are, at a minimum, comparable.
  3. Indiana probably could have challenged themselves a little more in their OOC schedule, but since when have B1G or SEC teams EVER been punished by the committee for OOC scheduling?
  4. They have blasted the **** out of their opponents. Up until last week, they were on track to be the only team since 1965 to beat every opponent by more than 2 scores. The average score in their 10 games: Indiana 44, opponent 14.

Now, I think this is all moot come Saturday because OSU seems to play to the level of their competition and I think they'll beat Indiana, but Indiana is a good team.

WTF are you talking about? Indiana's SOR is on average in the 90s.

Season 4 No GIF
 
Big 10 and Sec schools get too much credit for wins inside their own conference largely due to preseason rankings. Most of those schools have weak out of conference schedules and beat up on each other in conference which over inflates their resumes.

What needs to happen: P4 schools can only schedule P4 out of conference games. 6 ooc/6 conference games and I think the picture clears up pretty quickly.

Today, SMU is better than Clemson and is within HFA against Miami. They were narrowly worse than BYU in a slugfest months back. It’s a cointoss today.

Sure. But you have to go with head-to-head if they have the same record and certainly can't jump SMU over BYU if they have the same record.
 
Arkansas upsets Texas
Mizzou beats So. Carolina
Georgia beats Tennessee
LSU beats Florida

Texas beats Texas A&M in final weekend.

8 way tie atop SEC at 6-2 in conference. Bama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas, TexA&M, Tennessee, Mizzou, LSU

Even if Arkansas and Mizzou don't pull those upsets, the rest could lead to 4 way tie for second spot in CCG.

Tennessee beating Georgia clears up some log jam.

The CFP, LLC committee can so whatever they want. Their goal is to maximize engagement first and get the best teams second. If they think that they’ll get more engagement by choosing SMU, there are many metrics which would justify.

That's not what the protocol says.

Then they should just go ahead and put Michigan & USC in the playoffs.

1 loss BYU should be in over 3 loss SEC team

Perhaps. What if that SEC lost their CCG? We can't be punishing teams for qualifying for a post season CCG. BYU would not be over any team currently seeded by the committee with the exception of maybe BSU.

Having 3 first-year teams win their conference this year would be…I’m not sure what the word is.
 
BYU dropped 8 spots to 14, not good. We really need BYU to beat ASU this week otherwise the Big 12 champ is looking at likely being the 12 seed

We're not going to be the 12th seed if we win the Big 12. Boise will be. Their SOS is going to drop below us soon, and they really don't have a good argument for the bye outside of that moral victory in Eugene.

Even if we beat a 2-loss ASU? I wouldn't be so sure about that.

And I agree about Boise's total lack of quality wins but IU being in the top 5 is also absurd
