It would have to do with which bracket path puts us in the most advantageous position. Tend to agree with FD that no Buckeyes until the last game would be best.

The magnitude of OBD intercepting Williams, Jr TWICE (in be-fuskled Stadium, where that had never happenedin his budding career), seems to be lost in many of the national narratives.

Assuming Dante returns for '26, he could be scary good. With a healthy receaving and rushing corps, and an O-line anywhere near this season's standard, the offense could potentially be a monster.

His last three games have been superb. That makes the Ducks a dangerous squad when next month's College Football Playoff begins.

Have to agree with Charles... Hopefully it would allow Oregon to resurrect a couple of currently unavailable players from injured reserve status. If not, #5-6 is probably OBD best option. It could potentially give an opportunity for the reserves to shine.

If we could move up eventually to a number three seed, then I would take the bye. I just don’t want to face Ohio State until the finals…

How about the team that lost its head coach, and apparently also its O-coordinator today? Ole Miss. A&M lost to Texas, which was the only team A&M faced in the upper tier of the final SEC standings. Didn't get much publicity, but A&M's conference schedule was comparable to the ease of Indiana's last season.

Agreed. A project like Michigan State would be a four or five year turnaround, but the patience factor is so extreme, and the expectations of a miracle…are crazy.

I would want a playoff game at Autzen, the players & fans deserve it, imo. I think it helps a team get tuned up more and better prepared for the quarter finals.

This is my problem with unbalanced schedules. Texas played 5 playoff caliber teams, including the bubble. ATM played two and lost to the team that played 5. The playoff committee continues to value wins and losses over body of work, schedule, and last season performance. Based on what I have seen the last few weeks, there is no question in my mind that Texas is a better team than ATM right now.

In my mind if you if you cannot finish better than tied for 5th in your own conference, why would you expect to play for a national championship? It is simple, win more games. Their overall record is merely 7th in their own league. No amount of self promotion should work.

So many of these coach firings are hilarious. He's only been at MSU for 2 seasons, what kind of changes were they expecting in such a short timeline? It's freaking M...S...U... 🤦‍♂️

Depends. If you're the 5th or 6th seed then I'd take the playoff game. You still get around 3 weeks of rest and your first opponent is either a G6 representative or the lowest P4 team that qualifies.

We seem to get dinged up in practices as much as games. That's a tough call for me.

I'll go with a bye into the quarters. One more week to get healthy, one less chance of a loss, less chance of injury (in theory!), rely upon last year's lessons in regard to a long layoff.

Minimum of 3 (yes 1 due to no CShip game next week), maybe 4 if chaos ahead of them and they sneak into the #4 slot. Which would mean the BIG would have 3 of the top 4 as I do not see the loser of osu vs Indy falling out of top 4.

It seemed like several throws were off target behind the receiver; however, there were several on the mark that were dropped

Michigan State plans to fire coach Jonathan Smith, sources say - ESPN

He's down the Lane to Red Stick. Ole Miss to hire DC Pete Golding to replace Lame.

I'm sorry; I don't want to be #4. Love the idea of being #5. Tune-up game with a healthy receiving corps, then go to work.

Good post, but I think that Texas not being ranked in the top 10 is about to sway Sankey and others to Tony P's PO format.
