My bad - Steele has Bama ranked 7th with the 9 PO seed.

Will the B1G Steele 4 Playoff spots? Phil Steele says, 'Yes!' Reactions to Phil Steele's annual magazine could be extreme in some SEC football town BAMAHAMMER.COM Phil Steele's annual college football preseason magazine will be released on June 28. SEC football fans in Fayetteville, Gainesville, Columbia, and Starkville w Come on down Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, and Michigan. No. 11 Iowa is first out. No. 9 Utah gets the 3 seed, No. 12 Clemson the 4 seed, and No. 16 Boise State the 12 seed. 3 SEC teams are in the PO field No. 1 seed UGA, No. 6 seed Texas (4), and No. 9 seed Bama (9.) The ACC places 4 seed (12) Clemson and 11 seed Miami (10) in the field. No. 3 seed Utah (9) is the lone representative from the B12. Boise State would return to Autzen for a first-round game. Win the game and Oregon would play Clemson in the 2nd round in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Sugar Bowl - 1 UGA vs, 9. Bama at 8. Notre Dame Peach Bowl - 4 Clemson vs. 12. Boise St at 5 Oregon. Defeat Clemson in a stadium 90 minutes from Clemson's campus and Oregon would likely play Georgia in the Orange Bowl in Miami. Rose Bowl - 2 Ohio State vs. 10 Michigan at 7 Penn State - This would be a terrible bracket for the B1G with the conference down to 2 teams at the most after the Rose Bowl. One reason to expect changes to the PO format in 2026-27. Win the Rose Bowl game and the Buckeyes would join the Ducks in Dixie, likely playing Texas in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Someone at B1G HQ needs to wake up. Fiesta Bowl - 3 Utah vs. 11. Miami at 6 Texas. Texas would play Miami in Austin. Travel to nearby Glendale, AZ. to play Utah. Defeat Utah and Texas would play the Buckeyes in Dallas. Someone, please send out an SOS to B1G HQ in Chicago. On the other hand, USA Today projects 6 SEC teams in the field and only Oregon and Ohio State from the B1G.

Perhaps HQ will be in Larry's old digs in SFO before the 'We Did Nothing to Earn This $' runs out? The Pig 2 are PACthetic. OINK!

Wyndham (No. 5 in the world rankings) is limping to Paris. The USA is represented by four players, Clark, Colin Morikawa (No. 7 - Cal,) Xander Schauffele (No. 3 -San Diego State,) and Scottie Scheffler (No. 1 - Texas) the most of any nation in the field. Bryson DeChambeau, this year's US Open winner could not earn points on the LIV tour and is not on the team. Clark did make the Open cut. Le Golf National will host the tournament. In 2018 the US Ryder Cup team was defeated by the European team on this course. Hats off to Wyndham! You never know when a player of Clark's caliber will round into form.

The Brew's take on the Ducks. Taking an early look at Oregon heading into 2024 WWW.MAIZENBREW.COM The Ducks are a top contender to win the National Championship in 2024

PFF thinks USC is playing the nation’s toughest schedule TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM USC’s schedule is No. 1. We’ll see if the Trojans can at least be No. 12 in the country by season’s end. Sense, meet Less. Notre Dame and LSU? 10 games vs. the P4 plus an 11th vs. Notre Dame. SC misses both Oregon and Ohio State but Troy will need all hands on deck. Ole Miss and SC have mutually agreed to cancel the 2024-2025 home-and-home series. Makes sense for both teams. In 2025, 26, 27, and 28, how much of a boost with the Committee will Oregon receive for playing OK State and Baylor, with two of the games on the road instead of playing four home games vs. a G5 opponent? Why help the B12 with viewership and SOS? Oregon's future schedules are tough enough without playing a P4 team OOC. Why not add a home game vs. a G5 opponent? Hats off to Rob for managing an in-the-black athletic department but please wise-up when it comes to scheduling including dumping a game on the road in Logan, Utah.

THIS is a good and logical move. USC, Ole Miss call off planned football series for 2025, 2026 seasons TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM USC and Ole Miss won’t meet on the gridiron. Heavy sigh. 9 conference games and Notre Dame is more than enough. In 2024 SC will play 11 P4 games and a game with a Utah State team that went bowling in 2023. In 2025, I'd prefer to see the Ducks playing Tulsa instead of Oklahoma State. Michigan plays Texas in 2024 and 2027; Oklahoma in 2025 and 2026. Ohio State plays Texas in 2025 and 2026, and Alabama in 2027 and 2028. Ohio State like Michigan in 2023 plays 3 G5 teams OOC in 2024, all games being played in Columbus. Ohio State wins the B1G and the Buckeyes will be the Playoff's 1st or 2nd seed. Fans love B1G time matchups as does ESPN and Fox. But if the PO Committee does not value SOS these games are not Playoff savvy.

Top 100 NFL players of 2024: Alabama leads the way as former SEC stars shine among league's best - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Five SEC programs account for almost 30% of the NFL's top players Next step in recruiting? Move toward the top of this list. The ultimate Development Program is --- Iowa? Oregon is well represented. Tied with Ohio State with 3 players in the NFL's Top 100.

After the recruits from Georgia visit Athens, good luck keeping them 'committed.' UGA is rarely going to be NIL'd out of a 5* Peach State player. SC could be looking at a lot of Baby Gronks.

ACC champ or B12 champ in the second round means playing in Atlanta vs the ACC champ or playing the B12 champ in Glendale, And it means that Oregon did not win the B1G championship. The B1G champ will play the 2nd round game in the Rose Bowl. The SEC champ will play in the Sugar Bowl. Even if it finishes 13-0 the Dawgs will not have the option of choosing the Peach Bowl in Atlanta over the Sugar Bowl. The SEC champ will not play a playoff game including the champ game in Atlanta outside of Dixie. Ducks could play the ACC champ in Atlanta. Then play in Dallas or Miami and the champ game in Atlanta. Head East young man? The location for the ACC, B12, B1G, and SEC champs are fixed no matter where the champ is seeded in the top 4.
