CFP Bracket Reveal 12est ESPN

[Jpcisco]

So we get: Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, then Georgia? Beat 2 big 10 teams then 2 SEC teams. Hardest path for sure, but to be the best you gotta beat the best.

A year ago, I'd be like "no way he should have a vote"....now, after a year watching him on TV, he seems like someone who could be level-headed enough to be fair.

The transition from a completely self obsessed person to political person is a theme of our society currently. Saban is morphing his brand.

 

[Other_Guy]

Probably later today

On3 just said you are correct

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

We need to get to work on canceling the Syracuse game, and the series vs Nebraska and Washington. We'd be fools to play those at this point.

Calm down. They’ll change the criteria after the season.

 

[VolArmy74]

This argument would actually carry water if Bama didn't lose to some of the shittiest teams on the schedule.

SMU/Indiana beat no one and made the playoff. It's dumb to even risk a loss on the road with the committee's clear statement that strength of schedule doesn't matter at all.

 

[Shaun1985]

Ohio State and Oregon was the two teams we'd likely play that i thought we matched up well with. Excited!

 

[Rocky Top T]

Oh Happy Day!!! Bye Gumps!!!!!

 

[I4Vols]

Sabin is an arse... 24 to 3

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Georgia gets easy path to finals...

UGA might be too banged up. I know Gunner looked better than Beck, but I think that’s more because Texas didn’t prep for him and the plays Bobo was calling were very limited with him in. Idk, there’s no real elite team that stands out.

 

[WillisWG]

Will they reveal the date/time

21st ABC 8PM

 

[ENGRVOL]

Is the next 3 hours just these guys arguing back and forth?

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I would have loved the 10 seed and going to South Bend. I knew it wouldn't happen at this point but I wanted that if we couldn't host.

We match up much better with OSU.

 

[Sudden Impact]

So teams are not rewarded for winning - unreal.

The rules are where the problem is with the byes. Az State, Boise State, and Clemson won and got rewarded. That is a problem. Should they be in yes but to get a bye is one problem.
Penn State lost, Michigan beat OSU, Texas Lost and they did not get penalized for losing.
ND does not play in a conference beat no ranked team and are overrated and hosting a game.
The committee is talking SOS vs win lost and still has not mentioned ND.

 

[C-south]

Calm down. They’ll change the criteria after the season.

Yep. Bama is an automatic qualifier and the only team to get a first round bye. Only 2 teams outside of the sec get a bid.

 

[Volsfan2424]

The Championship very well could be Oregon vs Georgia

 

[Kylo]

Somebody's gonna get hosed, the question is who?

Still pretty laughable that Ohio only fell 4 spots after losing to a meh Michigan team at home. Pretty sure we fell 3 spots after beating Florida, but I digress.

Don't. Lose. To. Crappy. Arkansas.

That is how we didn't handle business. UT can blame nobody but UT.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Calm down. They’ll change the criteria after the season.

They’ll change the criteria every year, someone will be the beneficiary with each change. Usually the blue bloods or one of the conferences chosen ones.

All we can do is go out there and win. That’s the only thing that will change the current mess of college football/NCAA/conference nonsense.

21st TNT 12PM EST fwiw

Interesting choice - I have no interest in watching ND vs Indiana or SMU vs Penn State.

Both of those two games will be over quickly.

 

[ButchPlz]

SMU/Indiana beat no one and made the playoff. It's dumb to even risk a loss on the road with the committee's clear statement that strength of schedule doesn't matter at all.

Notre Dame beat nobody and made the playoff. Bama had the chance to make a run for it and got destroyed by two bad teams. You don't get to erase those.

**** them. Go be a Bama fan elsewhere.

 

[tbh]

Saban is pissed

 

[VolAllen]

9th seed has to be the absolute worst position to be in.

 

[OrangeInKy]

I hate Ohio State , but I can't understand the thinking that we got robbed having to go there. They beat two playoff teams. They lost to a trash team as did we but theirs was at home. I truly don't have a gripe here. I wanted badly to host, but you play the hand your dealt. I'll be in the minority and say I Don't think the entire universe is out to get Tennessee.

Bama almost beat Vandy. I wouldnt say Vandy destroyed them.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Glad we are going to Cbus instead of Happy Valley. Tyler Warren would have scared me given we made Delp look like Kyle Pitts two weeks ago.

 

[I4Vols]

I get that neither Ohio State or Tennessee played so they were never going to flip them. However, why did the AP poll flip Ohio State above us? The only justification I can think iof is that Journalists want to be deemed right so they simply mirrored the CFB committee. It's doesn't make sense.

Perhaps not enough Michigan voters in the AP poll
