Logically they can. I'll let you think about that.

Any of the other undefeated teams in the country are fair game for top 2.
So Im guessing now the Nik was limiting that to just the Pac12. In which case, yeah, Oregon is not 1st.
Michigan, for example, HAS to be top 2 with all theyve gone thru distraction wise and remained undefeated.

We'll find out if UW is as good as I think they are. Two losses means UO is out - each by 3 points to UW (road & neutral). But if this was a 12-team playoff, I don't think anyone would have reason to be surprised if Oregon ended up in the Final Four.
Washington might be one of the 4 best but certainly not 2 best. Given their combination of wins and record they are in the CFP and that's not even a debate.
Michigan
Alabama
Texas
Washington
A 12 team playoff is a criminal money grab imho. Especially when were moving to a P2 system and there are already CCGs to limit the size of the pool. The regular season means nothing the further this goes.
Why did Louisville go for it there?
So, not a fan of it?
12 teams…. No. The regular season should matter. Winning your conference should matter. Letting a two loss Oregon team in should be bad.
If you go to 12 teams itll be all the TV ratings media darlings….because ratings. Stick with 4 teams and the games were watching tonight matter. In a 12 they wouldnt.
Only because you'd posted in another thread that you haven't been paying much attention these days, I feel I need to ask- did you know that it's a 12-team playoff starting next year?
No way undefeated FSU is out with double digit win.
Sec gonna have to settle with being represented by Texas.

I do. I just think its a travesty. why even play CCGs if the same two teams make the playoff???
You know as well as I do why they are moving to a 12 team playoff.
And you‘ve been rooting for money the whole time. A two loss team crowned National Champs after beating a team they lost to whose QB is out for the playoffs? Thats what were signing up for.
If your a senior with high draft potential why even risk playing thru a 12 team playoff ahead of a draft?
Absolutely about money. That's why I was shocked that they did 12 instead of 16. Those 4 extra games featuring the 4 highest ranked teams would be a windfall.I do. I just think its a travesty. why even play CCGs if the same two teams make the playoff???

I wonder if we'll see the end of conference championship games. They seem a detriment to placing as many teams as possible in the playoffs.
Its a couple million bucks to the conferences in TV rights? And gate? Why give that up?
Yes. They're good. Not great. But good.
I think teams might even go back to 11 game regular seasons.
They scored 0 points against ranked teams this season. Maybe on the meh side of good
I watched them a few games this year. Their defense is elite. Their offense is so, so, so bad. I feel kinda bad because this was a make or break year for their OC and their transfer QB blew out his knee, but they weren't exactly an offensive juggernaut before then. Their backup QB was as painful to watch as any of our QBs last year.
This. Actually, if you're a senior that is projected as a Top 15 first rounder, why even play beyond game 7 or 8 of your senior year? is that a mercenary mindset or just good economic sense? I don't know.I do. I just think its a travesty. why even play CCGs if the same two teams make the playoff???

Violation of your NIL agreements, probably.
Yes, that could be.....Although I think you could just give a pro rata refund back to your funder. Devil is in the contractual details.

I kind of wonder if NIL might start to shut down the portal insanity. Language that says something like, if you leave within 3 years of signing this deal, you have to pay us back.
Obviously, but I still hate it.
hard to imagine that wouldn't put them out of business

Just a loss leader.
Buy a bunch of half barrels of Miller Lite or 30 racks of Natty Light.
Sell a ton of liquor and food.
edit: nm, I clicked through to the sub-tweet and saw an additional condition was not reported by the quoted tweet that this applies only for the one game
OT - looking at your sig - Wisconsin beat Marquette the other day. I have a nephew who went to UW-Madison and a niece who went to Marquette, but I don't know if that's a rivalry or not.
