November 25Nov 25 Moderator No. No Surprise, B1G or otherwise. IMO, ESPN will extend the 12/1/25 date when the parties have to agree to a new PO format to 1/23/26.I think there is a good chance that we will see the PO expand to 16 teams and possibly more next season. If the NCAA managed the PO, there would already be a 16-team or more PO field. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/espn-college-football-playoff-finalizing-agreement-to-extend-new-playoff-format-deadline-to-jan-23-202658379.htmlThe PO committee is making it up as it goes along. Dropping Alabama with four wins over committee-ranked SEC teams from fourth to tenth shook up the Dixie powers that be.And what sense does it make for the ACC and B12 to reject a format that assures two teams in the PO field with a chance for additional at-large teams? When the B1G and the SEC were granted superior PO format voting power, the ACC and B12 acknowledged that CFB has a Power 2.Even Stewart Mandel of The Athletic, who has continually excorciated the proposed AQ B1G PO format, now believes a PO with AQs will not destroy the sport.

November 30Nov 30 Author Moderator No. Projecting the College Football Playoff top 12 after Week 145. Oregon Ducks (11-1)Why they could be here: The Ducks could get a small promotion this week if the committee drops the Aggies after their loss to Texas on Friday night. Oregon earned a respectable win at Washington, and has impressed the committee with its top-five ranking in offensive and defensive efficiency. Even if the committee keeps the Aggies above Oregon, the Ducks should be in a position to host a first-round home game as one of the committee's highest-ranked one-loss teams on Selection Day.Why they could be lower: With Texas A&M joining the pack of one-loss teams, it's possible the committee still believes the Aggies are better than Oregon, an opinion it has indicated for the past four weeks. How much does a loss to Texas change that perception? The Aggies' road win against Notre Dame is better than Oregon's best victory, which was at home against USC.Need to know: It's possible that by Selection Day, Oregon's only loss is to the Big Ten champs. It's one small factor that could help the committee distinguish the one-loss teams. Oregon's loss to Indiana would likely be viewed as better than Texas Tech's defeat (Arizona State) and Texas A&M's (Texas), but both were on the road, while the Ducks lost to IU at home.Up next: Oregon will await the Selection Day results.

1 hour ago1 hr No. The coaching merrigoround has to be a distraction for both teams. I suspect that JMU losing its head coach to UCLA and having a failed coach from Florida coming in will create more turmoil than OBD losing its successful coordinators and them being replaced from within. Loupoi and Stein will be working with the same staffs that they know well. Everybody already knows the drill. Napier will be working with strangers who are probably not likely pay a lot of attention to him. Even so, I'm guessing he will be more of a minus than a plus.
