Playoff pecking order seems pretty clear (order of the top four is arbitrary)

1) Auburn/Georgia winner
2) Clemson/Miami winner
3) Wisconsin (if they win)
4) Oklahoma (if they win)
5) Alabama
6) Ohio State/TCU/Notre Dame/USC/Washington (if they win)

I have to think Bama is first alternate if Wisconsin or Oklahoma lose, but if both lose- hold onto your butts, it's gonna get wild.

Oklahoma is prolly going to be #1 tuesday and will have wins over a bunch of top 25 teams, including two teams currently in the top 10 and the Heisman winner. If chalk holds, they're almost assuredly going to be the 1 or 2 seed

Yeah like I said, the order of the top four is arbitrary, but they're all in if they win.

Washington's DOA because they can't qualify for the Pac-12 title game, and the committee won't bother with a 3-loss Stanford. It's USC or bust for the conference.

Ah poo poo I didn't realize that, my East Coast bias is showing. So yeah, USC is the only hope for the Pac-12, and if Notre Dame manages to come back against Stanford it might be hard to justify taking them.

The more I think about it, the more I realize it's probably just

1) Auburn/Georgia winner
2) Clemson/Miami winner
3) Wisconsin (if they win)
4) Oklahoma (if they win)
5) Alabama
6) Ohio State (if they win)

The American Athletic Conference and CBS Sports Network are garbage organizations that stole Tulane's victory. The unlikely quest for a bad bowl was almost complete, they had marched down the field as time expired. I was there, I watched Banks get the touch down with seconds left. The bad refs made no call, then gave it to SMU. He was in. CBS Sports Network is too cheap for the pile on camera and the American is too garbage to require one. Tulane should be going to a bad bowl. Dumb garbage stopped them from getting there. I have no ill will towards SMU but that was the worst call I've seen all season and what a time for that to happen. Next season, Tulane's quest for a bad bowl will be completed.

It's a "pylon"

I’m also pretty sure the vast majority of games don’t have one. It’s just the main ESPN/ABC games isn’t it?

I just wanted to make sure he didn't think the orange things at the corners of end zones were called "pile ons" which would be adorable :3:

THE LAST CORP TRIP
- by P.H. DuVal, Jr.'51

(actually inscribed on a giant stone wall at the Bonfire memorial, just scan it you don't have to read the whole thing)

It was Judgment Day in Aggieland
And tenseness filled the air;
All knew there was a trip at hand,
But not a soul knew where.

Assembled on the drill field
Was the world-renowned Twelfth Man,
The entire fighting Aggie team
And the famous Aggie Band.

And out in front with Royal Guard
The reviewing party stood;
St. Peter and his angel staff
Were choosing bad from good.

First he surveyed the Aggie team
And in terms of an angel swore,
“By Jove, I do believe I’ve seen
This gallant group before.

I’ve seen them play since way back when,
And they’ve always had the grit;
I’ve seen ‘em lose and I’ve seen ‘em win,
But I’ve never seen ‘em quit.

No need for us to tarry here
Deciding upon their fates;
Tis plain as the halo on my head
That they’ve opened Heaven’s gates.”

And when the Twelfth Man heard this,
They let out a mighty yell
That echoed clear to Heaven
and shook the gates of Hell.

“And what group is this upon the side,”
St. Peter asked his aide,
“That swelled as if to burst with pride
When we our judgment made?”

“Why, sir, that’s the Cadet Corps
That’s known both far and wide
For backing up their fighting team
Whether they won, lost or tied.”

“Well, then,” said St. Peter,
“It’s very plain to me
That within the realms of Heaven
They should spend eternity.

And have the Texas Aggie Band
At once commence to play
For their fates too we must decide
Upon this crucial day.”

And the drum major so hearing
Slowly raised his hand
And said, “Boys, let’s play The Spirit
For the last time in Aggieland.”

And the band poured forth the anthem
In notes both bright and clear
And ten thousand Aggie voices
Sang the song they hold so dear.

And when the band had finished,
St. Peter wiped his eyes
And said, “It’s not so hard to see
They’re meant for Paradise.”

And the colonel of the Cadet Corps said
As he stiffly took his stand,
“It’s just another Corps Trip, boys,
We’ll march in behind the band.”

Seems a lot less severe than, say, USC.

edit: I don't see where a show-cause is listed for Hugh Freeze, did he get one? I see where several assistants got one.

Would Hugh Freeze have any utility as an NFL assistant, or is he pretty much a CEO type HC?

Nobody is saying the ink has dried, but basically everyone with ties to FSU (including Bud Elliot) is saying he's crossed the Rubicon at this point.

Flight tracker crowd says he's flying into College Station this afternoon.
