I mean realistically speaking a lot of people though Bama was either out or in the 10 slot after the SECCG and they didn't move one spot. The only reason that most think they stayed in is because the committee didnt want to kill Conference Championship games. They do care about Wins and losses atleast somewhat because Miami got in over Notre Dame despite losing to two lower ranked opponents further along in the year, so say ND loss is to Oregon rather than Miami and Miami beat BYU who's in? Probably ND. Lets not also forget that Miami also jumped two spots without playing a single game and Notre Dame dropped 3 spots over a two week period despite dismantling a team and then not playing. Bama's third loss was also in a conference championship game against a team that they already beat at that teams house, so not exactly the most clear cut thing in the world.

Sorsby will probably follow his girlfriend to Texas Tech. Or atleast thats the early rumor.

He was originally coming here for far less was my understanding. Kid understands that this college money really isnt anything compared to the NFL, he just got offered a deal by Michigan that would be hard to pass up regardless. Thats generational wealth if he plays it right and he can play for his home state, wouldn't surprise me at all if he leaves and signs a deal not worth that ludicrous amount. Then again he could end up at Miami in which case $$$$$$$.

I will say that it could be something similar to basketball where due to what players have to do to get noticed/be in top shape is more taxing on the body compared to years past combined with the turf, which admittedly does seem to cause more injuries, that we have seen this massive surge in non contact injuries. Just a theory though

They could've got it right if they didnt have the unforced errors. If they were always going to put Miami over ND if they were ranked next to each other then I dont see why they didnt do it a few weeks ago. Flipping teams around for bs reasons to get what they want.

It would be great with 8. Would've had Bama and BYU playing for a spot and OU holding the 8 slot down proving you can get in with two losses against good teams. Would've worked out great this year.

8 team playoff, best teams get in regardless. Have championships decided by final ranking at the end of the season. If not then have It be a 16 team playoff with conference championship games serving as the first round, and if you arent playing in the conference championship then youre playing somebody in the top 14 or however it works out(conceivably there is a team or two playing in the conference championship that isnt ranked such as Duke or North Texas). Highest ranked G05 winner takes the slot, so itd be Tulane in this case. Make the rankings based on a mix of human and computer rankings, 50/50 weighting. You could do something about the conferences, revive the Pac-12, the Big 12 honestly seems to be in a better place so im not sure I would mess with them. But you could do that and recreate actual meaning within the conferences. I personally feel like the finals in CFB are less exciting with having a bunch of 11-1, 10-2 still going for the national championship. Give me the best undefeated teams and best 11-1 teams going at it because then it really feels like a heavyweight bout. If the portal is going to continue then you should have to sit a year(unless approved by waiver such as HC leaving or other issues) if you transfer after your freshman year but youre eligible to play immediately if its after your sophomore year, helps create some semblance of continuity. Portal window opens after the CFBP.

Fair point, but to counter that I bet they would bring up the chance in coaching staff. I agree though I dont they swap unless they had them that close but I doubt that.

Personally, I think they set a precedent tomorrow and put both of them in and leave out Bama as they want the standard for three loss teams getting in to be higher. Itd be different if Bama had lost close in their two losses but they got killed.

Im referring to 2023 when Michigan won and beat Bama?

This is the one of the other alternatives I could see. But I dont see how you could not bump Bama atleast one after that performance and then have Miami jump from 12 to 9 despite both them and ND not playing.
