The first and the last CFP have been the only ones without an SEC team or a Southern team in general. Pretty rare stuff, fingers crossed we see more of that with 12. Won't be able to rig it in favor of the SEC too much. Under the new system, if it holds to what's been announced, the four highest ranked conference winners get the top four seeds. So, any secondary teams from the SEC will have to be in slots #5 through #12. Might give them a home game. But they have to play a game and then a top four team in the next round. Under the future rules, this year would've been(potentially): First Round (at higher seed) Friday Night: 8pm No. 9 Missouri at No. 8 Oregon Saturday: 12pm No. 12 Liberty at No. 5 Florida State 4pm No. 11 Mississippi at No. 6 Georgia 8pm No. 10 Penn State at No. 7 Ohio State Quarterfinals at Bowls: New Years Eve - Fiesta Bowl: 8pm Georgia vs. No. 3 Texas New Years Day - Peach Bowl 12pm Ohio State vs. No. 2 Washington New Years Day - Rose Bowl 4pm Oregon vs. No. 1 Michigan New Years Day - Sugar Bowl 8pm Florida State vs. No. 4 Alabama Semifinals: Thursday Night - Orange Bowl Alabama v. Michigan Friday Night - Cotton Bowl Texas v. Washington Championship Monday Night - National Championship Game Washington v. Michigan Barring upsets/changes of fortune, this would be roughly how matchups and scheduling of the finals would have went this year. But, it's interesting to see how the first round at higher seeds would work. Not sure I feel good about quarterfinals being held at bowls as opposed to at home venues. Curious how many fans are showing up to a quarterfinal spot hundreds or thousands of miles from home, if they think their team will be traveling again just ten days or so later.

I'm expecting a press release from the CFP committee tomorrow saying that next year the SEC champion gets an auto-bid to the championship game because we just can't risk having another title game without the SEC. 2 1 2 2 Quote Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 What in the heck was Washington doing at the end there? The game was won, it was over. Just run the ball 3 times and make Texas burn all their time outs. The clock would have been down to 15-20 seconds and they’d pin Texas deep. No one can get hurt on a kneel down. Not to mention the kick catch interference. Those two were coaching malpractice and UW won in spite of it. Otherwise the Huskies (and particularly Penix) looked great.

FiddySicks Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Miami lost a game that basically blew their entire season doing that same dumb :censored:.

Yeah, they're expecting fans to do a lot of traveling and will act shocked when there's empty seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Personal feelings about the school aside — and the fact that SMU didn't really cover itself in glory in its bowl game — Liberty getting the NY6 slot was ridiculous in the first place, especially paired with the logic that kept FSU out of the playoff. C-USA is a glorified FCS conference at this stage, and you functionally punished SMU for scheduling a pair of Big XII teams that were far better than anyone on Liberty's schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to note that there didn't seem to be the same buzz around them that there usually is when a "little school" makes a NY6 bowl. Can't imagine why that is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Honestly it should have been Troy. The Fun Belt is top to bottom the strongest G5 conference, except maybe the Mountain West but they’re not inviting 5-loss Boise. 2 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I can't even think right now when the last time a national championship was played between two teams who have gone decades since their last win. This isn't 2016 World Series levels of droughts involved for either side, but Washington hasn't claimed a national championship since 1991, Michigan since 1997. (Almost) always nice to see some fresh blood in the championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 To put more things into perspective In 1997 Nick Saban was a Michigan State head coach and in 1991 he was a defensive coordinator under Bill Belichick for the Browns, and the only title he ever had under his name at the time was the MAC Title when he was the Toledo HC in 1990 1 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 7 hours ago, Unocal said: Milroe? More like Midroe Total Yards would be passing and rushing. Brock Glenn - 130 yards Jalen Milroe - 179 yards Milroe completed 70% of his passes, Glenn completed 35%. And actually, if CFB didn’t stupidly count sacks against a QBs rush total, Milroe would have 228 total yards to Glenn’s 144. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they lost a lot of regular season games that they were expected to win does. I think Georgia was over hyped due to a very week schedule that kept them out of the playoffs, but I think they had all of the elements available that would beat Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
