CFP Committee Trying to Get Bama In
3/2/1 Format? In 2026 I think we will see 4 B1G/ 4 SEC/ 2 ACC/ 2 B12/ 1 G5/ and 3 AL. Here are three ways to fix the biased College Football Playoff selection process. LAWLESSREPUBLIC.COM The 12-team College Football Playoffs was supposed to bring an added measure of fairness, access, and democracy in determining a national champion. Instead, th Committee Chair Warde Manuel, whose Michigan team played 6 donut holes OOC in 2022 and 2023 and made the PO both years: "You can only play the schedule you have in front of you" ["Unless you are Miami and Alabama."] "The B12? Boise State has a worse SOS and SOR than the B12 champ and runner-up will have but have seen Jeanty? Wow!" F-A-R-C-E. As Dan says, "Forget the furor and just win. That shuts everybody up. 😍"

CFP Committee Trying to Get Bama In
Don't know about this, my friend. Bama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina are 9-3. The Gamecocks were blown out at home by Ole Miss and lost to Bama. South Carolina was the PO Gamecock Come Lately but IMO they do not have the resume to jump Ole Miss or Bama. Louisville defeated Clemson in Clemson far more emphatically than did So. Carolina. Ditto Georgia in the game played in Atlanta. USC East was hosed by the refs vs. LSU and had nice wins at 6-6 Oklahoma and vs. 8-4 A+M, but Wofford, Akron, and Old Dominion don't move the needle and USC should not jump over teams with the same record it lost to. You know what could have helped USC's cause, a 9th conference game vs Bama but the loss to Ole Miss would still be on the resume. We'll see if SC blows out a B1G team in its bowl game.

FishDuck’s Special B1G Championship Game Analysis
PSU last altered its uniform design in 2017 when it went back to more of an Old School look. 😵 This is New School + Unis vs. As Old School as you can get (except for Illinois vs. Michigan this season.) OBD made a splash in Indy during B1G media days and the New School Unis will flash by PsU like racing machines circling the Brick Yard. 😍 SPANK FRANK!

ESPN Compter is Clear, Texas over Georgia
SP+ - Ducks by 3.2/ Texas by 1.5/ SMU by 5.4/ Iowa State by 3.7/ Boise State by 4.6 FPI - PSU by 0.4/ Texas by 4.1/ SMU by 1.3/ Iowa State by 1.8/ Boise State by 7 Do these computers sleep in the same room? 😁 My Vegas friends and I - GEORGIA +2.5 in ATLANTA! GET DOWN! 🤑 UGA - Bad 1st half vs Bama. OL problems vs. Ole Miss. Beck threw 3 Ints. in Austin and still UGA easily covered. Texas - Did not impress on O at Vandy, Arkansas, Kentucky and at A+M. Texas destroyed a Florida team on its 3rd QB, a transfer from Yale. Texas ZERO Top 25 wins. Georgia - 2-2 vs. the Top 25 including the win in Austin. Mercedes Benz Dome - UGA's home away from its nearby home. I don't believe Texas has played a game in this stadium? AND BEVO'S BEEN BANNED! I guess Mercedes does not like all those horns Texans put on their MBs? 🤪

FishDuck’s Special B1G Championship Game Analysis
What can I add to the great article and comments - NADA! Ducks arrived in Indy a day earlier than usual due to press obligations. PSU will have the majority of fans; so did Michigan, with many more fans than PSU will have in Indy. I think Dan and the team feed off of Us vs. Them. Paranoia strikes deep. This is OBD's shot for a B1G Trifecta. I'm still PO'd about how B1G refs called the BCS Champ Game. Including the B1G review folks. Will the new Duck on the Block get a fair shake? I am happy that CBS is doing the game. Nessler and Danielson are pros who focus on the game, and not on whatever bee is buzzing in their bonnet. SEE:🤪 Gus Johnson. SPANK FRANK. MAKE HIS 'BIG GAME" RECORD MORE STANK! POUND PsU!

UCLA Fires OC Eric Bieniemy
The OC and Foster must have had a falling out. UCLA improved throughout the season. The game at UW was a disappointment for UCLA but the team sucked it up and played hard to get a win over Fresno State. I don't get this. Is there a coach with more and better experience who wants to go to Westwood and call plays?

The Rumors About Ryan Day....Whew!
Freeman played LB at Ohio State. He has benefited from the ACC scheduling agreement, 5-0 vs the ACC in 2024, playing Navy every season, a G5 schmoo every season (NO. ILL 😁and Miami Ohio this season) and being at ND when both SC and Stanford are not playing their best football. He has one inexplicable loss every season but the man can recruit. He would be in play. But he has a 'pretty good' job. Heupel is in a very good spot at Tennessee and the Vols would match any salary bump offered by Ohio State. His rival is Vandy, not Michigan. 😁 (It's really Bama and Heupel defeated the Tide this season.) Vrebel is out of work but sitting on millions in severance pay. He's a run-first guy and not necessarily suited to putting top-drawer QBs into the NFL. Does he want to and can he recruit? If they stick around, Day has a terrific, young, QB room to work with, including the 2024 No. 1 recruit Julian Sayin.

The Rumors About Ryan Day....Whew!
Mike West nails it: AGAIN. I did mention in an earlier post that Day's reliable FG kicker missed 2 kicks that he makes in his sleep. He makes these + tOSU fans are whining about the margin of victory and not calling for Day to be fired; at least, not immediately fired. But the choke by the reliable FG kicker is, as Mike pointed out, emblematic of the pressure on the Ohio State players in THE GAME. This is not a healthy atmosphere in which to compete. Chip could not have called a worse game. 26 rush attempts, 77 net yards. The best WR in CFB was not targeted in the 2nd half. Was the pressure too much for Chip? The Game pressure plus not wanting to let his protege down. The QB could not have played a worse game. He folded. The great D held up against an anemic Michigan passing attack but got no help. This was a throwback Bo vs. Woody game. On B1G Today Meyer analyzed the loss and did not look happy doing so. But to bring him back? $32M to dump Day unless Day agreed for some time to be a co-head coach and return to play-calling while Urban CEO'd the enterprise. I don't see this happening and wonder if this structure could work. Something is rotten in Columbus but win a 1st round game at home, things will smell better and the Buckeyes will be on the road for the next PO game. tOSU is crippled on the O line but there is still tons of talent on that team, especially on the D. There is no SEC Nick Saban SEC behemoth in this PO. No. 2 Texas has played one very good SEC team and lost. Notre Dame's best win is against 8-4 A+M. OBD has the best Vegas odds. But it's a year of parity except for OBD, and I will not be shocked if Ohio State with a tremendous D wins it all. Winning three or four games in a row will not be easy for any team in the field.

What Should SMU Do?
Two ACC teams including a 3L Clemson team that lost to both Georgia and South Carolina? Instead of a 3L Bama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and perhaps, a 3L UGA? At least one of the SEC 3Ls should, IMO, be in. Probably UGA if it loses to Texas. A 2L SMU has a home loss vs BYU. And a weak SOS compared to the 3L SEC teams. If the quality of the teams you play doesn't matter, see Boise State No. 10, why play a team OOC that you can't destroy, and why play 9 and not 8 conference games? 16 team PO - 4 SEC, 4 B1G, 2 ACC + B12, 1 G5, 3 At Large. If the Domers don't like it, join a conference. Only 3 teams chosen subjectively. Conferences on their own break ties and submit their teams. Seeding? Could be The Rub but this concern could be reduced by reseeding after each round as the NFL does. Team Rankings SOS - 12/5/24 1. Georgia/ 2. Alabama/ 5. South Carolina/ 7. Ole Miss/ 27. Clemson/ 49. SMU.

What Should SMU Do?
It's So Obvious this Format and a PO Run by an Invested Broadcast Company is Screwed up. SMU's case is one of the foibles. The fifth seed is arguably better than the 1st seed because there is no reseeding. SOS used to justify Bama in and Miami out but not otherwise? Public campaign to sway CFP Selection Committee fuels private calls for change - maybe even back to computers? - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Sources tell CBS Sports that the Big Ten and the SEC have concerns over the current makeup of the 13-person committee

Thank you, DM. Truly Mighty Ducks vs. diminished dogs. Fisch should have thrown in the towel or the referee should have stopped the fight.

2024-25 Ducks Players Entering the Transfer Portal
I hope the guys leaving are getting decent advice. There is no guaranty another program will offer them; especially, a champion contending program. Spot on Charles. You build a deep roster and guys will portal out. Dan and Division Street will fill positions of need from the portal. It was so great watching the Big Ten Network today reporting that OBD had moved up to the top recruiting spot in the conference. Dan is winning The Battle of the Os. 😍 I wonder if Riley and Day plan to meet in the same bar? 😁
