What are the current odds, fam? I will be going into church and it will be showtime when I get out.

-1500 to make the field.. we’re in boys.

My only question is this.. Is Indiana legit? I was at a party last night & couldn’t watch the game but holding OSU to 10 is impressive.. wondering if it was just a sloppy game & they were just trying to not get hurt or is Indiana the real deal.

I don’t think anyone is a juggernaut. That being said, Indiana is as good as anyone in the top 10.

I think Indiana is very good and well coached. They don’t have the skill players but the QB is legit, so that helps cover up that weakness. Sayin missed a few guys wide open because of the pressure he was feeling.

Beatable but very good.

IU thrives on people looking at the logo on their helmet and laughing. I’m not sure what else they need to do this season to be taken seriously.

How do these committee reveals work? Will the results be up front at noon or do we have to wait the three hours to get them at the end of the program?

First 30 minutes will be reveal. The rest will be performative seething.

That #80 Becker was beating OSU’s DBs a lot.

Would’ve been interesting to see how they did if OSU had a competent run game. IU pinned their ears back and went after Sayin. With that being said, they made me believers.

IU just beat OSU, which we haven't done since 1935 or whatever. They're definitely legit.
Annoyingly, this should really say since 2022, but you’re absolutely right they are legit. We do know OSU has another gear for the playoffs as evidenced by what we saw last year and how Day has described their planning process and strategic approach to winning a national title which absolutely includes leaving as much in the tank as possible until knockout rounds.

I know I'm a homer, but how doesn't ND host Oklahoma? I'm hoping that's a nice little cherry on top for this weekend.

You know what I’ve been thinking about, in years past when the cut line involved a high power rated SEC team, I felt like Kirk Herbstreit would always distance from the resumes and emphasize it’s the best teams.

Wonder why he hasn’t been singing that tune this year
I would love an edit of him saying this, over the years because you’re absolutely right he has done this consistently undercutting the “most deserving” argument.

Brett McMurphy had the first leak ever last year for the teams when Bama was left out. Keep an eye on that, but right now he’s predicting ND is out. I think those are just his predictions, not sure he’s gotten any leaks.

Exactly, he talks out of both sides of his mouth. He just parrots whatever his bosses tell him to say. The fact that that douche is the voice of college football is extremely annoying.

Where is this at? When was his last prediction?

I’m sure this has been answered but how did Duke make it in the championship game over Miami? Was the first tiebreaker alphabetical order? I can’t see another reason why they would have made it over Georgia Tech or Miami.

How does expanding to 16 solve anything? Instead of having debates about #9 through #14, we'll be sitting here having the exact same debates about #13 through #18.
Which is better because the stakes are lower. If Michigan or USC got left out this year, who cares? Neither team is winning a national title. My problem with the current set up is it doesn't ensure that every team with a conceivable possibility to win a title gets in and imo that should be the sole purpose of a playoff in college football. 16 would ensure that. There will always be debate, but I'm less sympathetic to teams 15-18 sitting there with 3 losses (or two really bad losses) pounding the table. This year has taught me that a team with a real championship potential could be left out and I'd rather have too many teams in than not enough.
