2024 WATCH PARTY: WEEK 15

[ACamp1900]

They’ll change the conference auto bids in a couple years so they can have three or four BIG/SEC teams with byes,… only they will open the door for us too

 

[Gladiator]

16 teams?!?! Do you really want 4 loss SEC teams in the CFP? I’d prefer an 8-team playoff

They're already planning on It. It's not my idea

 

[Irishdawg]

I don't think UGA should be out because they won, but if they lost an argument could've been made. They set the precedent last year when an undefeated FSU was sent home because of an injury.

Although that was with the 4th team of a 4 team playoff not the 12th team in a 12 team playoff?

 

[Gladiator]

Why?

If consistency matters, FSU

 

[Huntr]

gah, these Oregon uniforms are so bad

 

[NorthDakota]

No they absolutely did not, people keep saying this.

They were VERY clear that teams playing this weekend can move up and down with new data points.

Wtf this guy disappears for years at a time and then returns?

FSU was sent home because they were a mediocre football team. The appropriate analogue is SMU, or Boise if they had lost the auto bid.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Clemson playing yet another penalty free game. lol 😂

FSU was undefeated and Bama got in over them. It was BS

They were an undefeated Power 5 conference champion.

 

[CoachB]

Oregon has playmakers all over that offense.

This site has the weirdest banner ads.

Losing your QB doesn't necessarily get you left out. It's losing a dominant, key player (usually a QB) whose loss has a drastic effect on your team's strength. You lose the guy your O revolves around - a Heisman candidate or 1st team All American - and his backup is a couple of levels down from him, then yeah. That's what happened to FSU last year. Without their star QB they weren't remotely close to being the same team. If Beck's out, though, not much really changes. He's just a serviceable, average QB and his backup is nearly as good. Georgia will still be more or less the same team without Beck if he can't play. If UT lost Ewers, I doubt they'd get left out. Ewers is a much better QB than Beck, but there'd be so little drop off from him to Arch that it would make little difference.

I can see us shifting to a matchup against IU to preserve the SEC-B1G theme and the initiative to avoid conference matchups in the first round.

ND-IU
PSU-BAMA
OSU-TENN
TEXAS-ASU

In fact, I would bet on this configuration (home team listed first)

If we play Bama, it jerks that around to force PSU-IU, right?

You think a 3 loss Clemson is the four seed over ASU?

If the goal is to maximize overall TV ratings (as opposed to maximizing TV ratings for the biggest single game), this is the way to go.

No way. ASU started higher and both won. ASU stays higher.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

You’d think they would want to dispose of ASU at quickly as possible. Clemson is a brand name.

No way IU can handle the cold weather up north

 

[PigtownIrish]

Oregon's run defense is...something

 

[zelezo vlk]

What was that 2 point call James Franklin lol

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

If that was us the ACC refs would have thrown the flag as soon as the hand went near the face mask.

 

[Huntr]

Charles Huff has a big ol dome on his shoulders.

Also a conf championship, now.

After watching CCG's all day, I'm concerned about our field goal game.
That fake stuff ain't gonna cut against these big programs

Valid worry. Hopefully he’s pain and demon free in two weeks.

Hopefully, Jeter is healthy after a few weeks rest.

There four spots last year so apples to oranges. FSU squeaked by all year and lived off of Jordan Travis. GA has great D and great RBs. They win today with a backup who played better than Beck did. In the end FSU was a fraud last year. The right decision was made.

 

[Sea Turtle]

I think Penn State has proven my point tonight.

 

[BeatSC]

No wonder Wimbush never got any PT at UCF. Gabriel is better than Flutie!
