re: Note Dame in talks with the SEC?

Like I said, people looking for clicks are trying to turn this into something more than it is.
Frankly, if I’m Sankey, the last thing I want to do is to further destabilize the ACC. He already fricked things up by taking OU and Texas, not that they were bad takes in and of themselves, but because that destabilized the Big XII and induced the Big Ten to do stupid things like killing off the PAC-12.
Having said that, if ND were to cut ties with the ACC and park its other sports in the Big East, a scheduling arrangement where ND agreed to play four SEC teams each year wouldn’t be out of the question as it would just provide SEC teams with an off the shelf P4 opponent, and could slip those games in throughout the season, rather than front loading them all in September.

You gotta love it when some idiot looking for clicks takes Bevacqua's statement that, the only P4 commissioner he's talked with since Sunday is Sankey, and spins that into the SEC is talking with Notre Dame about taking them in as a member.

quote:I hope you're right, but I'm a bit worried about the students getting back to campus for the game. With the way kids are nowadays about the holidays, it can be tough to get them back to campus for a game a week from Saturday if they are leaving town this week, and no one else in the country seats aside 38,000 seats for students. Hopefully, if they don't draw their full allotment, there will be enough folks who buy the Gig 'Em pass (who are mostly young folks, so you are trading like for like) to take up the slack.
Assuming the weather is decent, I’d bet we set an attendance record for a day game at Kyle. That place is going to be nuclear. Miami is damn lucky they don’t have to play there at night.

Maybe. I'm not sold on Oregon.
In the latter years of OU's Big XII run, they did it mostly with offense in an offense oriented league. Tech is built rather differently. Maybe that will make a difference, maybe not.

So, this year it would be:
1. Indiana vs 16 JMU
2. OSU vs 15 Tulane
3. UGA vs 14 Vanderbilt
4. Texas Tech vs 13 Texas
5. Oregon vs 12 BYU
6. Ole Miss vs 11 Notre Dame
7. A&M vs 10 Miami
8. OU vs 9 Bama
Logistically, that’s a lot of travel, and finding TV windows would mean playing on Thursday and even Tuesday.

re: Probably the worst thing that could happen just happened if you're on the committee

It’s not that hard. Maybe they spend five minutes discussing whether OSU or UGA should be 2, but they will go with OSU in all probability. The 4-8 seeds stay the same as last week, and 11 and 12 are Tulane and James Madison.
The rest of their time will be spent sorting Bama, ND, and Miami. They are not going to leave Bama out, so the question is, do they move Bama to 10 and put ND at 9, or do they leave Bama at 9, and swap Miami for ND, with BYU having excused itself from the conversation.

When you lose maters. For practical purposes, the committee simply doesn’t consider Bama a 3 loss team, but rather, a 2 loss team that lost their conference championship game. There is a difference.

Tech's got some real first line talent on defense. What they don't have is a lot of depth. If they played an SEC schedule, that would show up more.

Notre Dame is a better team, but Bama has the better resume. That’s the problem.

quote:I wonder if that will factor into the decision as to whether Georgia should be two or three? If you put Georgia at 2 and Bama at 10, theoretically, they could meet again in the Sugar Bowl. Leaving the Big Ten loser at 2 would avoid that, and set up a likely Georgia-Ole Miss Sugar Bowl.
Bama will be the 10 seed playing the 7 seed. So @ A&M. ND will be the 9 seed and play @ Oklahoma. That prevents re-matches too

quote:Bama is one of four SEC teams that went 7-1 in conference play. All four will get in. Bama will get the lowest seed of the four, deservedly, in light of its loss to FSU, but Bama will be in.
I get the argument for Bama making it with a loss, but it feels wrong deep down. We need to just win the game.
re: Not sure Bama is as good as Miami or Notre Dame.
Posted by twk on 12/6/25 at 4:52 pm to Doak Walker
Perhaps not, but they have the better resume. When you are selecting the field for a playoff, resume gets you in, then there is room for some subjective evaluation of strength in setting the seeds.
They are 10-3 not 9-3.
There were four SEC teams that went 7-1 during the regular season. All four will get in. Bama will be the lowest seeded of the four, as a result of their loss to FSU.
