For more important matters, is it too early to talk about UTEP being a possible bowl team at 4-1? They still have Southern Miss, Rice, North Texas coming up; it's plausible they could scrape together two more wins.

Yeah he was actually there for 9 years (2004-2012) and generally kept them in the middle tier of C-USA. They fell into the toilet after that.

If anybody's seeing any hot rear end Auburn over Georgia takes you are just seeing internet nonsense; it's a terrifying edition of a team that consistently dominates us against a fundamentally flawed roster primed for a letdown after a huge emotional win over a team that is probably not all that good at football relatively speaking. I'll say there's a 10 percent floor of Jordan-Hare shenanigans resulting in an Auburn win but not much else. This is great, Richt has always been one of the very small number of people in this business I think are basically respectable and I hope that never changes

Obviously Cincy unless that Big 12 champ is by some miracle Texas, in which case the Little Sisters of the Poor need to go play a big boy schedule if they want to be in the playoff hunt.

These temple cinci announcers are so lovely. "Oh cinci just is leaving points on the field and letting temple stick around". As compared to what other teams? Bama and uga? Like no poo poo, if right at this moment we compare bama and uga to the rest they definitely won the September championship. And the score is like 17-3 @ the half

^^--I appreciate the lawyering going on hereLLCoolJD posted:The SEC CG loser has never gone to the playoff and I hope it stays that way (unless it expands to an 8-team system). Hmm...looked up 2017 again and the secret is to be Alabama and have chaos Auburn make sure you don't get to the Championship game with one loss. Then if you can handle Clemson you get to break Georgia's heart in the final again and start the legend of Tua.

If Bama and Georgia reach the SEC CG both at 12-0, they’re both getting in; I recommend that everyone save themself some grief and make peace with this now. They’ll also be seeded winner 1 and loser 3 to save the rematch for the title game.

It’s the first time a CCG loser made the playoff, but it’s also the first time a committee top-2 team lost in a CCG, period. There’s no real precedent that a CCG loss is disqualifying, and why would it be? That’s no more objectionable than putting in a team that didn’t make the CCG at all.

Notre Dame was 'officially' an ACC member last year because of weird covid things and made it to the playoffs after losing the ACC championship game. Which at the moment can't happen again. e: meaning that specific thing can't happen again because Notre Dame is back to being independent and only ACC adjacent. I agree with the dog that unless Georgia or Bama mess up pretty badly along the way they're both gonna make it this year. Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Oct 9, 2021 |

Is Arizona State actually any good this year? I mean honest question I haven't watched them much. They're handling the (bad) team that beat Oregon last week pretty easily here but ASU also lost to BYU, that's all I know.

Grittybeard posted:Is Arizona State actually any good this year? I don't know either and I've watched all of it. They started the season sloppy as hell and committing penalties constantly. The first quarter of the UCLA game looked awful but the second half was dominant. I always want them to be good, but they always break my heart, so I won't really believe until the season is over and they've won something. Of course, the NCAA will then take it all away due to recruiting violations.

SECCG chat if Bama and Georgia both deathmarch to the game I don’t think it matters who wins or loses. If either of them show weakness in the run up and they get slapped in the championship game, there’s an argument against loser inclusion. I’d bet right now on Bama/Georgia/Oklahoma/Ohio State
