Cincinnati has a pretty good chance. If Georgia beats Bama, Bama could drop below Cincinnati. Then the loser of the OSU/MSU game should drop below Cincinnati as well.
lol.
MSU has had down years, while Indiana has had a good year or two recently. It's hard to gaurantee two high quality opponents in the same ooc season.
um, yes and no. there are probably 10-15 teams you can pick out that scheduling 4-6 years in advance, they will still be a quality opponent on the schedule.........
Well, if they scheduled Indiana 4-6 years ago, then they weren't trying to get two quality opponents, it's only been 2019 & 2020 that IU has looked good. And you listed MSU, but they've had down years. Your list maybe should be closer to 6-8?
I dont know how many times last off-season I heard some talking head tell us that we had all better learn to say DJ Ukele's name because he was gonna be the second coming of Jesus himself. 'Everyone' picked Clemson as the easy conference champ, and they had like the 2nd or 3rd best odds to make the CFP. On the other hand Michigan state lost 5 conference games in 2019, and 6 overall. In 2020 the only reason they 'only had 5 losses is because they only played 7 games. 'Everyone' picked them to finish outside the top 10....in their own conference.
Why 12? Wouldn't 8 work better? If the G5 champs have to playoff to narrow down to 3 teams to play the 5 P5 Champs, that would be up to them, otherwise they will just gaurantee them one spot out of the 8. And they'll never go more than 8 as conf Championship games add another 5 teams in a sort of playoff first round.
So has NDSU. Maybe they should get an invite? lollmfao......
I fucking love this line...........
beat me to it. Why aren't we talking about just going to 8? Why 12?
Yeah, I know. Small steps. Doesn't help having uneven # of P conferences and an uneven # of G conferences. Kind of cheering for the dissolution of the Big 12 as having just 4 major conferences would be a lot easier to work with, and then possibly the G5 conferences having their own playoff?
I wouldn't say "a pretty good chance" but they still do have some kind of chance BUT only if they start waxing their opponents even the good ones they need to beat somewhat easily. It's just part of the process.
They schedule a very solid non-conference opponent in ND and won. Although their other non-conference isn't good bc of Indiana being bad this year.
You mean that same ND team that barely won against Toledo
Well, I am very confident that Georgia is going to win out and that Oklahoma and Oregon will both lose at least one more. That basically leaves Wake passing them up as the only way to keep them out. Believe me, last thing I want is for Cincinnati to get in. Just think it might happen.
