Right now, the only Oregon commit who is projected to flip is Dorian Brew to Ohio State.

Cure sticking with KSU.

This signing is huge. Wilson was projected to flip to the Gators. 5-Star Dallas Wilson Signs With Oregon Ducks Despite Florida Gators Pushing for Flip WWW.SI.COM Five-star wide receiver recruit Dallas Wilson has signed with the Oregon Ducks despite being predicted to flip his commitment to Florida Gators.

There are still a few flips in the mix, but I understand the excitement of waiting for a guy to pick a hat. The Peyton Bowen situation was kind of exciting, but He flipped to OU pretty quickly after flipping to Oregon. I hope he enjoys the Birmingham bowl this year.

Dakorian has signed.

Division II uses a pretty good model. They have 28 teams and it's only 5 weeks which would add one week to our playoffs. The only difference is they use regional playoffs until they get to the semi-finals (NE, SE, MW, West) which is due to money and travel. The top ranked team from each region gets a bye while the next six play the first round. They're down to 16 teams in week two and so on. 2024 Division II Football Official Bracket | NCAA.com WWW.NCAA.COM The official 2024 College Football Bracket for Division II.

Early good news is OBD held off PSU for Brandon Finney Jr. Linkon cure will decide between Oregon and KSU at 11:30 MT. Updates to follow.

Lanning goes undefeated with only two first-team players and doesn’t win COY? I guess he should’ve played an easier schedule like Cignetti did.

Yep. The Bama’s, Georgia’s and the Clemson’s would be nowhere near the 4 team playoff this year. We thought they expanded the playoff to 12 teams to open the door for Cinderella. But, all it did was allow for more wicked step sisters to come crashing through.

Once the conference championship games are concluded things will change. If PSU loses they will drop below OSU in the final rankings because of the H2H loss. Texas and UGA will certainly change some seedings. The Dawgs would drop below Bama for sure due to their H2H loss. If Oregon loses they could drop to 5 or 6 depending on how the committee views Notre Dame. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time the Irish got their golden domes polished by the voters.

They actually have a set of protocols that they use (see article). The protocols are (in a nutshell) championships won, strength of schedule, head to head, common opponents, and other factors such as injured key players. This is what they’re using to fill the bracket with blue bloods. The committee chairman even stated tonight that it was a “possibility” that SMU could fall behind Bama if they lose to Clemson. That’s committee-speak for “If SMU loses the ACCCG they’re out”. One can read this article and deduce that the SEC is getting no less than 4 teams in this tournament.

The protocols that the committee uses in this article might as well be labeled the “blue blood or SEC clause”. They place a pretty big emphasis on championships won, strength of schedule, availability of key players, etc. They’ve taken all the shady decisions from past committees and codified them. These protocols give them the justification to fill the tournament with SEC and B1G teams. How does College Football Playoff work?

Oregon still at #1. I was surprised that Bama was 11th until I read the protocol that the committee uses. This is what leaves the door open for Bama to supplant SMU if they lose to Clemson. SMU’s best wins are Pitt and Louisville who are no longer ranked. Should be a fun weekend coming up. I thought Miami at #12 was interesting, but they have no shot at the playoff since the Big 12 Champ will move into the playoff. The only two teams in the top 12 right now that can be supplanted by their CCG opponents are Boise State and SMU. Nobody else stands a chance of moving out of the top 12 Alabama Crimson Tide land at No. 11 in the CFP's rankings - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Barring an upset in Saturday's ACC title game between Clemson and SMU, Alabama might be headed back to the College Football Playoff for the ninth time in the past 11 seasons, as the Crimson...

Exactly my point. It may not be logical to us, but in their minds, they know exactly what they're doing. They looked like geniuses because Bama/UGA went to OT and was a great game. They looked like geniuses again in 2022 by letting Ohio State in to play UGA because they almost won on a last second FG. Then they looked like morons the next week for letting TCU in. So, they corrected the decision the following year by leaving an undefeated FSU team out because they thought they would get blown out. FSU never stood a chance of getting in last year because of what UGA did to TCU.

I can say with the utmost certainty that Clemson beating SMU will only eliminate SMU from the playoffs. Bama will get in with the 11th or 12th seed no matter what. The committee might make controversial decisions, but they have come out smelling like a rose on most of them (i.e. 2014 Ohio State, 2017 Bama, 2020 Ohio State, 2022 Ohio State, 2023 Bama).

You have way too much trust in the committee to do the correct thing. Let's go over some of the questionable decisions these committees have made. 1. Replacing FSU with Bama last season because they were on their 3rd string QB. 2. Putting a 6-win Ohio State team in the playoff in 2020. 3. Replacing #3 TCU in 2014 with Ohio State even though they were on their 3rd string QB. 4. Leaving B1G Champ Penn State out of the 2016 playoff and replacing them with B1G runner up Ohio State (whom PSU beat earlier in the year). 5. Giving Bama the 4th seed in 2017 despite them losing the Iron Bowl by multiple scores and not even playing in the SECCG. 6. Giving Notre Dame a playoff spot in 2020 despite them being blown out by Clemson when an 8-1 A&M team was left out. Never underestimate the committee and never expect them to do the conventional thing. The reason being is they have hit on most of their "controversial" decisions.

It's official....for now. Oregon Ducks flip 4-star linebacker Gavin Nix from Miami Hurricanes DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks officially flipped 4-star linebacker Gavin Nix from the Miami Hurricanes on the day before the Early Signing Period opens.

I actually don't mind Lucas Oil Stadium this year. It's where DL won his national championship with UGA, so he's used to winning rings there.

It's worth noting that the coaches didn't even give TFerg Honorable Mention as a TE.

Mario became Oregon's coach because the current players at that time told Mullens he is who they wanted. Then, Josh Wilcox almost became Oregon's head coach because that's who the former players told him they wanted. Luckily, Wilcox turned the job down and forced Mullens to go with the inexperienced kid.

Who does he think he is? No coach can get into the playoff with two bad losses unless they're wearing a crimson script "A" on their polo.

Notre Dame always has and always will get the benefit of the doubt. They lost to the 7th ranked team in the MAC, they have beaten only one ranked team (Army), and yet they're still ranked #4. Ahead of two SEC teams and three other one-loss teams. If you don't think it's possible that committee will jump them ahead of a one-loss Oregon team, then you're in for a big surprise.

Notre Dame is the projected 5 seed no matter what. Recency bias will probably help them out. No matter. If you want to win a championship you have to beat the best teams, so the seed doesn't really matter in the playoffs.

The new Pac 12 will likely be wanting to play their championship game in Vegas, so the B1G better strike now and secure a contract early. I'm sure they could play it on consecutive nights, just so long as they make the Pac 12 play on a solid green gridiron and then paint it up for the B1G. No sense in spending good money on paint for G6 teams. Kenny Wheaton showed up on the 20th anniversary and the Ducks won the conference, the rose Bowl and went to the national championship game and lost. Maybe they're just trying to change the luck this time.

Jameis threw more TD passes to the Broncos than Bo did. At least he got the "W".
