Well, they are ahead of Alabama now. If, Michigan rolls they shouldn't be jumped. Poll era that wouldn't happen.

If there wasn't two SEC teams involved they wouldn't be jumped. They will be jumped to avoid a rematch in the semi's.

When #3 beats #1, they can jump #2.

Wouldn't happen in the poll era. Wouldn't happen if there wasn't two SEC teams involved to avoid a semifinal rematch.

Yes, Alabama will be #1 at 11:15am on Sunday.

Let's hope Georgia is #4. I won't hold my breath.

Exactly. Which is why it’s the right thing to do.

Jeez…

Forgot the semifinals were on NYE. So we can see a bunch of lesser games on January 1. What a joke.

NYD will still be fun. Guessing on these.
Fiesta: Michigan State/ND
Rose: Ohio State/Utah
Sugar: Baylor/Ole Miss
Citrus: Texas A&M/Iowa

I mean yeah. But why put your national semifinals on Friday, December 31. That’s moronic.

It’s one of the worst mistakes they made with regards to the playoff

They did move away from the mistake of 2 out of 3 years being played on NYE. Since, NYE lands on a Friday that's why the date didn't change. Yes, it's terrible to maximize viewership. Too many people go out to celebrate.

College Football can still and should back to owning NYD. I believe the 12 team playoff will have quarterfinal games on NYD.

O$U jumped TCU to make the Playoff in 2014. The Big 12 didn’t have a conference title game, and TCU fell from 3 in the CFP rankings going into the conference title games to 6 in the CFP rankings by not playing a game.

I believe TCU played that day and won by 38 points.

It’s one thing for Kirk Ferentz to have his huge basically lifetime contract for a guy who never won a Rose Bowl and has had 1 top 10 team in a decade.

It’s another to allow his son to be OC who is absolutely horrid.  Holy hell is the play calling hilariously bad

Harbaugh just went for a statement making F You drive there up 28-3.  Throwing the ball all over, some trickery, not running clock.  I’ve got no dog in the fight but good for him and them, something to prove and delivering

Looks like Brent Venables to Oklahoma.  This would be a good hire.  I think the pendulum has been moving back to the defensive side of the ball for a couple of years now.

Clemson’s OC is rumored to be in the mix for Virginia or Duke.  How Dabo fills those positions will be interesting.

When I wrote that, I thought I was kidding. Turns out he IS available! Rhule just canned him.

He’d probably be best served going back to college.

I think they got it right. They claim they didn’t purposely avoid an immediate Bama-Ga rematch, and folks can choose to believe or disbelieve that, but I’d have gone with the same 1-4 rankings. Georgia is simply better than Cincy IMHO.

Also, I completely agree with those who said having the playoffs on NYE is stupid.

Yea I don't have an issue.  Georgia, yesterday withstanding, is better than Cincy with a better resume.

And Bama being #1 is legit.  They have better wins than Michigan.  Michigan's 1 loss is arguably better than Bama's loss.  But Bama destroyed the consensus best team in the country, thats a good enough tiebreaker for me

Thanks for the sked.

Not that you were asking but ... I'll watch Bama-Cincy for sure; Mich-Ga will be on in the background at our NYE party; I'll watch little if any of the others, especially ND-OkSt, which is opposite America's Game (aka MU-Creighton hoops)!

The reason it is on NYE is because the Rose Bowl refuses to move.  Well f*ck the Rose Bowl.  If they want to continue to be a part of this in the future, they need to be flexible.

Or if the conferences don't want to do that, put one semifinal at Noon, Rose Bowl at 3:30, then other semi at 7:00.

One of the better minor bowl games , will be South Carolina versus UNC in Charlotte .

I expect the stadium will be full with fans from both teams .
