Posted July 4, 20241 yr Moderator At least according to 'Saturdays' writer Connor O'Gara who 'promises' to come up with A Perfect Projection of the 2024 Playoff field and seeding. According to Connor, the 6th seed would have Oregon playing the 11-seed Utah in the first round which would probably be played on Friday, December 20, 2024, the first game of the 12-team playoff contested as was the case on January 1, 2015, when Oregon behind Heisman winner Marcus Mariota kicked off the 4-team playoff with a 59-20 beat down of Jameis, Jimbo, and a whole tribe of disappointed Seminoles. Predicting the Playoff: No. 6 seed Oregon WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM The Ducks have a unique path to the Playoff, but it certainly exists. I'm holding out for the B1G No. 1 seed.
July 4, 20241 yr Ummm if Utah comes in with an at large bid from the Big 12 then who is the Big 12 champion? Kansas State probably... I find a second Big 12 team will be hard to get in. Edited July 4, 20241 yr by David Marsh
July 4, 20241 yr Author Moderator DM, I agree with you. I'm surprised that O'Gara has the B12 with 2 teams in. K State makes sense; however, Utah plays OK State in Stillwater a very tough place to play and the Cowboys return almost all of their starters on O and D with Ollie by Golly (currently sidelined by a DUI) to run the ball and a QB in his 6th season of college ball. The SOS for the B12 top to bottom is B-A-D, bad. Not a Blue Chip roster in the bunch. I see the B12 as 2024's Cannibal Conference. I'm not certain that any B12 team including the champ comes through the season with fewer than 3 losses. And schedule-wise, if SOS does not matter to the PO Committee, at least 5 SEC teams have a path to 10 wins and a good chance to be in.
