2024 -25 College Football and College Football Playoff Thread

[PointWarrior]

That's great, other than it was written criteria:

" Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team's performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance."

???

I am not mad and I have no outrage. My interest level in the topic is calm, matter of fact, and, low.

The point is changing non-written criteria is used all the time. Criteria is used inconsistently all the time.

Lawyers are way too concerned about precedent.

If a rule is good, keep or add it. If it's not change or abolish it.

Big game today for Marquette as UW-Madison takes on LSU in the AdvoCare100 Bowl presented by A&W Root Beer

A win by Bucky will help Marquette's cause greatly

Do they have a delete button? or Sharpie to put a line through it? ...part of what I said was if something isn't good, change it or remove it.

And does the criteria say we are picking the best teams this week? or this season?

If it's this week, why play the rest of the season? Just start a two week college football season each year at the end of December with four teams chosen. "Weather is also listed as a criteria by the way. So I'm sure they can come up with something and that's fine.

Alabama needs 4th and 31 Hail Mary against a below .500 team that lost its previous game by 3 tds to New Mexico St. Oh it's choosing the best team this week? Alabama did get a win over Georgia so okay got it. Good thing Bama scheduled Chattanooga the week before that instead of Texas. Who even remembers the 21st, I mean the 9th of September?

I'm just using Alabama as an example. I just find it silly to say well you had a great season, but your player got injured too bad for you. We're picking the team that almost lost to Auburn two games prior because they won their most recent game. I guess it's a good thing they scheduled Chattanooga the game prior to that instead of Texas.

I understand what they did and why they did it. It doesn't make it any less silly to me.

Guy who claimed the criteria is "silly," thinks they should use a hypothetical delete button or sharpie....

BTW the regular season TV and in-stadium audiences will be huge regardless of the playoff criteria. Anyway it's a "silly" debate because no neutral fan wants to see a short handed FSU in the playoffs.

Yes, it's silly. Yes use a non hypothetical delete button or Sharpie.

Is Neutral fans the new It's Indiana?

SEC show why they are superior to Big Ten on last four plays of Badger game. LSU completely manhandled Badger offensive line when it counted .

I'm just mad they weren't in the Playoffs. 13-0. What more can anyone ask? They DESERVED to be there.

[wadesworld]

Does Georgia or Oregon get to sub in for Michigan at halftime?

Do we just take the SEC next year, because the SEC seems to have the best teams in the country and dominates the B1G, at the very least.

[MuggsyB]

Who's the cool RB on Mich?  5'6?

1st round pick?

[Uncle Rico]

1st round pick?

No, blew out his knee last year and lost some explosiveness.  Size is an issue but might have a spot on a roster in a pinch

[jesmu84]

Michigan defense looks like they know the play before the ball is snapped

Damn. 

[MU82]

So far, Michigan looks like the much better team.

[tower912]

Still angry at everybody.

[MuggsyB]

Is Michigan gagging?

[Uncle Rico]

Is Michigan gagging?

No, it's a 3-point game

[tower912]

Is Michigan gagging?

Playing Saban in a bowl game?   Was Alabama choking when they botched back to back snaps?   A grind of a game.

[MU82]

Saban and his assistants made the necessary adjustments. We'll see if Michigan can counter.

[The Sultan]

Saban's the best of all time for a reason.

Michigan is so vanilla on offense this half.
