Oregon or Utah...don't fuck up.

Thanks for making my point for me....

2 times in 5 years isn't exactly rare. It's close to 50%.

it's even closer to 40%...







....which is incidentally the same as the percentage of playoffs that the P12 has had a participant.

So, hardly rare then.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

So, hardly rare then.

Coincidentally— 40% of the time is when the 4 seed wins the Natty

 

[Rolltide94]

So, hardly rare then.

Nope, just the majority of the time....

I'm honestly not a fan of the FCS cupcake every year before the CCG, but I'm not so up in arms over it. You're not wrong, that is a gauntlet from hell, but there'd be nothing said if you were playing Arkansas or Vandy the week before Bama, which would basically be the same.

To be fair, OSU is looking at a likely scenario where we play top 10 PSU, top 15 michigan, and (if we win those two games) top 10 Minnesota in 3 straight weeks.

I think that 3 game run is going to help hugely in getting the #1 seed. It is getting vastly overlooked but there is a huge difference in playing the 4th team and play the 3rd team which is likely Clemson.

Auburn was toast regardless so it isn't a negative and I would argue it's additional insurance the teams that should be there are there. No way Auburn gets healthy enough to make a run in the playoff so we had no business going.

The negative part is that very few teams can play Georgia, Alabama and then Georgia in a month's time and stay healthy. You guys make fun of us for playing a cupcake between Georgia and Alabama but no one considers that if we didn't Auburn would literally have 3 weeks of Georgia, Alabama and then the SECCG. Nobody makes it through that gauntlet.

Dude, just make your end of the year rival Georgia Tech, and you don't need a tune up game.

Fool proof way to keep Bama out:

Oklahoma, Baylor, Oregon and Utah all fuck up. UGA wins out and beats LSU in the SECCG.

Your playoff would be:

1. Ohio State
2. Clemson
3. UGA
4. LSU

I sent know if you had Seseme Street in Ge9 as a child, but they had a sing-song segment about which thing doesn't belong with the others.

I've identified the correct answer.

Not gonna lie, Clemson scares me more than any other team in the nation. If we can beat Penn State, michigan, and win the CCG all impressively like we've been winning, I think we end up #1. Let LSU deal with Clemson.

If my team looked like Ohio State, I wouldn’t be scared of any team. If y’all are gonna lose, it’ll be because y’all beat yourselves

I'd like to think you're right, and I am confident in OSU going up against any team in the nation. However, when the lights are brightest, Dabo has shown the ability to come through and get his team up. It's also not like you can ignore the elite talent all over that roster.

I may have to eat these words, but at least it seems to be shaping up for two good semifinal games. We haven't had a lot of those yet in the CFP.

Probably not the best thing to hope for, because if you’re scenario happened and Clemson lost the ACCCG then there’d be 3 1 loss SEC teams in the playoffs. Assuming Baylor, OU, Minnesota, Penn State, Oregon and Utah are at 2 losses

Ohio State-Bama and UGA-Oklahoma are pretty much it

I expect the 1v4 matchup to not be competitive.

I would agree this year, but a pretty credible case can be made that the 4th seed has been better than the 3rd most years. Two champions (14 tOSU and 17 Bama) were 4-seeds, while 3-seeds have a total of 1 CFP game win (17 UGA over OU). I would argue that 15 OU was a tougher semi than MSU, 16 tOSU and Washington were about the same, and 18 OU was certainly more dangerous than ND (though ND had a much better defense).

Dunno what you're talking about, OSU-Oregon was the shit.

So was Oregon-FSU!

So was Oregon-FSU!

I remember going into the playoff having little doubt FSU was going to be routed. I think any playoff team, along with TCU, Michigan State, and Baylor would've smoked them.
