I think the possibility is there that an undefeated Cincy actually does get into the playoff if a) the Big 12 fails to produce a team with fewer than 2 losses and b) the Big Ten and/or PAC-12 are unable to produce a team with more than 5 wins

Bird in a Blender posted:Ohio State is probably running the table and into the playoff. I don’t know how any PAC-12 team gets in with only 7 games played. Every other conference would have to have lots of 2 loss teams. My question with the Big Ten is how many games they’re going to get in given their protocols and their tight window to get the games in. If a lot of teams experience what Wisconsin is experiencing now, and Ohio State only ends up playing four or five games and maybe beats Northwestern or whoever in a farce of a conference championship game, do they still get in? As far as the PAC-12 is concerned, I think a 7-0 champ( 8-0 counting that CCG, I guess) would get in, but I strongly doubt anybody ends up playing that full slate, or that anybody manages to run the table regardless.

But on the other hand, maybe the playoff committee does vote in a 5-0 Ohio State, since a) it’s Ohio State and b) the alternative is getting screamed at by the Big Ten and its media proxies that they’re effectively being punished for valuing player safety more than the other conferences. This would simultaneously be a tremendously bad-faith argument and kind of a valid point.

dphi posted:PAC 12 is actually a six game schedule with a CCG Ah okay. In any case, I’m supremely confident Oregon will lose exactly as many games as they need to to narrowly miss the playoff.

When in doubt, bet against the worst unit on the field. Which I’m fairly sure is the Florida defense.

It kind of feels like we could start the playoff next week and not miss much. There’s Alabama, there’s Clemson, there’s Ohio State; number four isn’t really going to matter.

I think Cincy is actually going to have a reasonable shot at the playoffs if they go undefeated; especially if no one comes out of the abbreviated Pac-12 season undefeated.

YOLOsubmarine posted:I’d assume so, but it’s not like a dude who has lived and breathed football for like 40 years would be un-prepared for that possibility. It’s happened before, on television. Yeah, but there’s a difference between having seen it and having it happen to someone you’re personally responsible for. If the lack of movement is meaningful, I don’t know what else it would be outside of a visibly crushed skull/face.

Paul Rhoads' tenure at Iowa State seemed above-average measured against the program's history.

Bird in a Blender posted:Chizik was seen as a good hire, but turned out awful. He also had terrible assistants. Yeah I don't think Rhoads got a raw deal or anything, but it would be unfair to call him a bad hire when he kept the program a great deal above its floor most of his time there. (well, for those first four years anyway)

MV, I say this sincerely and with no snark intended, I love that the one piece of unrestrained homerism you allow yourself is making GBS threads on Iowa State at every opportunity.

How many D1 football coaches have we had in the US Congress? Is it just Tubberville and Tom Osborne?

Did Gary Anderson do something bad off field at Utah State to get fired? Seems like you typically have to do worse than 7-9 to get fired a year and change into your tenure.
