Notre Dame has some brass maracas calling out the ACC for favoring their own teams. The ACC is the only conference keeping their strength of schedule afloat. Once the SEC goes to nine conference games they will cancel any future scheduled games with them. If they don’t have the ACC then they will be nothing more than a strong team who plays a G6 schedule. It’s going to be very difficult to break into the top 12 with no P4 opponents. Why on Earth would any P4 team schedule a game with them? The only ones I can see doing it are cash-poor teams at the bottom of their conferences who won’t move the SOS needle.

This sort of thing has a tendency to galvanize a team. I don’t think there will be a huge drop off.

A&M would've dropped to 4th in the old format after they lost to Texas.

SEC because they claim to play tough schedules but they only play 8 conference games. A&M didn’t play one SEC playoff team this year. I’ll give the other four playoff teams credit for beating a SEC playoff team this season, but a lot of their ranked games came from playing Mizzou, Vandy, and Tennessee. However, it’s not just this season. Did you know that A&M has been in the SEC since 2012 and has only played UGA once in the regular season? UGA and Bama only met once during the regular season during the years of the 4-team playoff format. They’ve gone out of their way to protect their big name teams. Lastly, Bama getting to play for the BCS championship and go to the playoff without winning their division is pretty lame as well.

Carson Beck against UGA’s defense is a matchup I want to see. Something tells me there will be a few late hits.

I actually think they will boat race the Aggies. Texas exposed them.

We’ve had good luck with pass catchers from Idaho.

The committee finally put Miami ahead of Notre Dame because the media pundits started to really call them out for their BS. They had no choice. They would’ve looked like biased idiots if they hadn’t switched them. I’ve always been of the opinion that championship game competitors shouldn’t be punished for losing if they would’ve gotten in without playing. However, Bama has been the beneficiary of getting into the old four team format with even winning their division, so I think they should’ve been left out. OU or Indiana will keep them from playing us which is kind of unfortunate.

Weather won’t be a factor. Harrisonburg, VA is colder than Eugene this time of year. The biggest factor will be talent.

Apparently, FanDuel leaked the spreads for the first round of the playoff. Miami is out. Notre Dame is in. Oregon opens up with JMU -20.5. This could all be fake since the seeds are messed up. NOTE: Yep. It was fake. Mario is going to the show.

Bama sat some starters due to injury, so the committee will likely put them in at 10. I don’t see Miami jumping Notre Dame due to their two conference losses in a really bad ACC. UGA deserves the two seed and Ohio State deserves the three seed. However, something tells me the committee is going to drop Ohio State to the four seed to ensure a SEC team has the opportunity to play in the national championship game.

Novosad and Moga will probably transfer. If that happens they have to transfer between January 2-16 which is during the playoffs.

JMU or Tulane. How does Miami get in when they couldn’t win a championship in a conference with a 8-4 conference champion?

Duke will win in OT. They’re just prolonging the agony.

The lack of fans at this championship game tells me they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Embarrassing turnout.

Once again, Ryan Day’s head will be requested to be served on a platter. He had the ball inside the red zone twice and scored zero points. Kind of like the Michigan game last season.

The Indiana defense is for real. I think Day just thought they dominated OBD because he thought we were weak.

Duke is going to win. What a tournament this will be.

That 4th down review could be huge.

Bama will be in the playoff, so DeBoer still has life. If the committee leaves them out then that will be the end of conference championship games.

Bama had -3 yards rushing. That is all.

Let me guess. They’re also saying “Pay Dan Lanning whatever he wants. Make him say no”.
