Windy's football discussion thread.

I mean, I don't care either.
We aren't going to know the three-loss teams until after the championship games.
And as you say the new rankings aren't out yet. We don't really know how much anybody's dropped yet.
BTW, Joe, all the examples you used are Big 10, which I think is better than the Big 12. I don't think Bama gets in over any 2-loss Big 10 teams, unless it might be Indiana, which would mean Indiana would have to lose again.
Edit: I saw we were 7 in the AP. I am now going off to see how much Bama dropped because I didn't care enough about them at the time to look hahahaha

I wasn't being a smart ass just meant as long as we get in I dgaf about who else does or don't.

Now, I did some research just now and found out that Georgia Tech is in fact not in the SEC.

haha I am the same way as long as we TCB and get in
Bama dropped 6 spots...probably about right
as long as they are there with The Sip wallowing in their misery after yesterday, I'm good hahahaha

That whole Georgia Tech thing was just mikey bein mikey

Then the Gwinutian decided we need a history lesson

Was more than that but whatever.

I got confused by not paying attention and was thinking if there was a 3 way tie one of the tie breakers is overall record, so GA losing to GT would be good. But when it hit me there was no 3 way tie it was too late. I said f it and went to bed.

 

[volfanbill]

I mean if it's a 2-loss Big 12 team, it's not justified????

Look at what’s beneath Alabama and justify putting them lower.

 

[volfanbill]

Meh. If ohio loses to Oregon in theur championship, does that maje bama better? I think, and i hate the buckeyes, they're gonna be hard to beat. I absolutely think Indiana, and Penn state are overrated, but how do you justify putting a 3 loss bama over them, even if they dropped another? I get it, bama probably beats both, the teams that beat bama likely beats both. I just see the other side, how a 3 loss bama getting in over a 2 loss Penn State wouldn't be right. All just my thinking, who knows.

They aren’t putting Bama in over those teams. They’re ranked so high because the ACC and Big XII are awful.

 

[GordonC]

not sayin I like it or that I necessarily agree, but I think there's a decent chance SoCar gets in with three losses if they beat Climpsuck convincingly on Saturday

tosu potentially losing the big ten championship won’t affect them much. Georgia losing the SECCG (assuming they beat GT) won’t affect them much. I think SMU stays in if they lose to Miami in the ACCCG at this point over USCe getting in. Biggest chance for Bama or USCe getting in at this point would be a ND loss next week.

Or we could have a repeat of this week…Maryland beats PSU, Syracuse beats Miami, Meechigan beats tOSU and USCe beats Clempson along with the Trojans beating ND. Then anyone can get in

 

[volfanbill]

Need a Trojans victory to host most likely if the AP pole is indicative of the CFP pole

I think they will need more help than that. Will definitely depend on how far they drop Ole Miss and Bama, both of which beat SC. It's definitely fun to see all of this chaos.

I agree with you. There is an argument for both sides, which makes this fun.

where is the history lesson

 

[GordonC]

A founding member, GT left the SEC in June 1964, disgruntled by the few schools in the conference which had control of the money and scheduling. They were independent for a few years before joining the ACC.

Tennessee Vols become first football team in SEC history to accomplish unique feat​

Combine a potential playoff appearance with wins against Florida and Alabama and it's easy to say that this season (so far) has been a big success for the Volunteers.

I'm in favor of his approach.

https://atozsports.com/nashville/volunteers/josh-heupel-college-football-playoff-vols-be-whats-best-for-tennessee/

Josh Heupel's approach to the College Football Playoff madness is respectable, but it might not be what's best for Tennessee​

"I respect the fact that Heupel isn't spending his time in front of a microphone politicking and pleading Tennessee's case. Instead, he's keeping his focus in the right place -- just like any elite competitor should be doing."

"But at the same time, there's a reason why other coaches are out there pleading their case. Even Georgia's Kirby Smart, arguably the top coach in the sport, is using his time on camera to send messages to the playoff committee."

 

[Tin Man]

Let Heup be Heup. GBO!

 

[malinoisvol]

Imagine, if you will, the following SEC final 2 week scenario:

Georgia loses to Tech and beats Texas.
Texas loses to Tamu and Georgia again.

Bama looses to Auburn.

Tennessee beats Vandy.


What a world. What a world.

I don't understand Kirby's bitching. Win the next 2 and you are the 2 seed. Lose this week but win next week, you are 3 seed at worse. Win this week but lose to Texas, you still gonna be in. Lose this week and next and you don't deserve it....
