Fansided also wonders if PO Chaos is coming. 🤢 FanSidedCollege Football Playoff chaos: Potential rivalry week su...Rivalry week may be at the forefront, but how this weekend goes could drastically reshuffle the CFP one last time before the field is set.

Breaker, Breaker! We don't want a B1G tiebreaker! AP - You need a CFB knowledgeable person to help you out. There is No Way that Indiana can lose to Washington this week. (And OBD ain't losing either!) The Hoosiers play at Purdue, and if the bus doesn't break down, Indiana will not lose. Excuse You. AP NewsIt's tiebreaker time: A guide to the conference champions...With one week remaining, almost every conference title game spot is still up for grabs across the FBS.

Where does he go! Anywhere he wants, and he isn't flying Southwest. If I'm wrong, Chipper had better fire his financial advisor. 🤑

ARKANSAS! I don't Gat it!😁

Spot On! Does anyone recall the ohio state university finishing in 4th place in the Big Ten, and OBD defeating Penn State to go undefeated and win the B1G title, instead of remembering The Ohio State University winning the 1st 12-team playoff title? (The Buckeyes also won the first 4-team PO, defeating a team I can't recall, to win it all. 🤬) Georgia will also be happy to watch Bama play A&M in Atlanta and have QB Gunner Stockton healthy for a PO run. These title games should be flex-scheduled and played on the final week of the regular season. Neuter the Fuskies!

Chaos in Week 14 could be fomented by nine of the committee's current top 10 teams playing road games this weekend. Only No. 8 Oklahoma is at home, taking on LSU. 1 Ohio State at 18 Michigan/ 2 Indiana at Purdue/ 3Texas A&M at 17 Texas/ 4 Georgia at 16 Georgia Tech/ 5 Texas Tech at West Virginia/ 6 Ole Miss at Mississippi State/ 7 OBD at UW / 9 Notre Dame at Stanford/ 10 Alabama at Auburn. 12 Utah, 13 Miami, 14 Vanderbilt, 22 Missouri, and 25 ASU also hit the road in Week 14. The above rankings are subject to change today when the Committee opens the kimono for another tease before the Final Reveal. 🤪 Paste, Baste, and Waste, U Who!

No Surprise, B1G or otherwise. IMO, ESPN will extend the 12/1/25 date when the parties have to agree to a new PO format to 1/23/26. I think there is a good chance that we will see the PO expand to 16 teams and possibly more next season. If the NCAA managed the PO, there would already be a 16-team or more PO field. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/espn-college-football-playoff-finalizing-agreement-to-extend-new-playoff-format-deadline-to-jan-23-202658379.html The PO committee is making it up as it goes along. Dropping Alabama with four wins over committee-ranked SEC teams from fourth to tenth shook up the Dixie powers that be. And what sense does it make for the ACC and B12 to reject a format that assures two teams in the PO field with a chance for additional at-large teams? When the B1G and the SEC were granted superior PO format voting power, the ACC and B12 acknowledged that CFB has a Power 2. Even Stewart Mandel of The Athletic, who has continually excorciated the proposed AQ B1G PO format, now believes a PO with AQs will not destroy the sport.

🤣🤣🤣- Now, now, Lincoln. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-football-lincoln-riley-temper-oregon-loss-cfp/?eid=c7d8647c6247db8d08c59fe44bc30380a147aa90b9e33099045cd46ddc6a485b&ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=492450&ET_RID=52482716

Thanks, David, for another terrific Monday morning article. The only downside, I'm craving a kava! 🙃

Drake, I liked the comment. However, with all of the BS thrown OBD's way regarding the schedule, I like the finish. OBD was the 2025 Hive Mind scheduling whipping boy. I think the schedule worked out to OBD's advantage with a home win over an SC team that I believe will remain in the committee's top 25 on Tuesday and a finish at UW with the chance to put up more points than Ohio State in Seattle.

2026 - OBD is at USC and Ohio State. 2028 - USC in Autzen.

Indiana has signed Cig to a very lucrative long-term contract. He isn't leaving Bloomington.

The Greek God Chaos was the first of the Greek gods to appear at the dawn of creation. Chaos is the primordial void out of which the Earth god, Geta, and the other elements arose. With a playoff where 'best' and 'most deserving' somehow do not correlate, may Chaos visit CFB in Week 14? At least, selective Chaos. Does Head-to-Head Matter? MIAMI - 6.5, wins at Pitt to finish 10-2. Notre Dame -32.5 (!) defeats Stanford to finish 10-2. I'm sorry, PO (or is it BO 😖) Committee, but when multi-millions of dollars are at stake, 'We haven't directly compared Miami and Notre Dame because they are not in the same group of three teams', is not going to bounce. I think if the game were played today, Notre Dame would win. But who in Hades, another Greek god, cares what I think? The two teams played one another this season; Miami won the game. Any other comparison between the two teams with the same records is subjective chicanery. And one of Notre Dame's two top 25 wins was Ducked in Eugene in Week 13. 😎 Pitt? If Miami -7.5 defeats the Panthers on Saturday, Notre Dame will finish with one top 25 win at best. Unlike OBD, the less-than-golden Notre Dame schedule? Nothing to see here, move right along. If 10-2 Notre Dame is ranked higher than 10-2 Miami, every ACC AD and coach should threaten to boycott Notre Dame and fill the opening with a conference game if the Domers do not join the conference as a full-time football member. And SC should say, 'So long, South Bend, and good riddance.' The SEC Seriously Tests the New Metrics - LSU -10.5 wins in Norman and hands Oklahoma its third loss. While Auburn -5.5 defeats Bama on The Plains, the Tide finishes 9-3. Vandy and Don Diego +2.5, knuckle under in Knoxville to finish 9-3. Texas +2.5 defeats A&M in Austin to finish 9-3. The Eyes of Texas, Longhorn eyes at least, will be at the PO committee meeting in Grapevine, Texas, on 12/6, with thousands of burnt orange-clad fans in the Gaylord hotel parking lot shouting: We could have played Ohio and not Ohio State! And if LSU comes through: 'How much longer will it take you morons to figure out that we beat the Sooners! And we also beat Vandy!' On Black Friday, behind Cow Bell Cacophony, Mississippi State +7.5, puts down the Ole Miss Rebellion. Post-game, Lane Kiffin is escorted from the scene by a platoon of former Green Berets, while Lane's agent, Jimmy Sexton, from off-site, announces that Lane has decided to take the Arkansas, or some other SEC job. A B1G Mess? Michigan defeats That Team Down South to finish 10-2 (I just can't pull the trigger on Purdue putting out the Cigs. 😁) 3-loss Oklahoma fans, led by uber fan Norman, and separated from Horns fans at the Gaylord Hotel parking lot's 50-car line, scream in unison: We beat Michigan! The B1G 12? The committee metrics minder sobers up long enough to inform the committee that Oregon has a Top 25 win, a solid win over That Other Team Up North, and that Penn State is bowl eligible. By the way, our metrics (like the Massey metrics 😍) have the Ducks with the 15th most difficult schedule and Texas Tech the 54th most difficult schedule. Ticked off Texas Tech fans join ... No, too far from Lubbock and ski season has started. Having received an extension from Disney/ESPN, on the evening of December 7th, a Day of Infamy for the PO committee, Greg Sankey and Tony Petitti collectively announce, on both the Big Ten and SEC Networks, that beginning next season, the playoff will expand to 16 teams with a 4-4-2-2-1-3 format. No objection from the ACC, B12 peanut gallery. And Texas and Oklahoma fans group hug. ❤️❤️❤️ Tony graciously allows Greg, SEC coaches, ADs, Paul Finebaum, and the Governor of Louisiana to take credit for coming up with the new PO format. 🤪 WAX, WASTE, and PASTE That Other School Up North!

I think Pete's making room for Lane Kiffin? Or, maybe Jon Gruden? 😁😁
