re: Various games thread 11/30/24

San Diego State’s idiot head coach has been chasing points the entire 2nd half. Left at least 4 easy points on the board and ended up needing 2 scores at the end of the game instead of just 1.

Please, for the love of God, let the point chasing die.

no way Indiana will make the playoffs

I think Ohio State might have a tough time but there is no way Indiana makes it in and even if Oregon wins I don't think the b10 is getting four teams

A 3 loss SEC team (Bama/Ole Piss) is not going to get in over a 1 loss Big Ten team. The top 10 or 11 teams in tonight's CFP are locked in barring a blow out in the B10/SEC games this weekend.

The bracket will obviously change after them but the only school that has a legit complaint would be Notre Dame getting locked out of a bye. I think the committee will give them a "makeright" by sending the Big 12 champions to South Bend.

If you want to argue about SOS and these auto bids, perhaps the next move by these enlarged conferences is a mini playoff. Dump one of the non-conference games, move up everything else a week, and hold a semi-final round of the top 4 teams over Thanksgiving weekend at the home of the top two seeds. Amongst getting rid of the SOS argument, this would also nearly assure that the top 4 seeds in the national playoff would have hosted a postseason game at home (and those that hadn't still be rewarded with an extra week off test).
