2025 College Football Playoffs

So are we in or out?

The vibe is we're probably out but who knows. The committee just makes a decision and then there is a post-hoc justification that makes no sense.

For everyone worried about Miami jumping us next week, have their betting odds jumped noticeably?

Also Bama is not staying at 9. If they lose they will drop them below us, because they want to avoid a rematch of Bama V OU in the first round. Actually, I bet no SEC teams will be slated to play eachother in the first round, the committee will ensure it since they are in their pocket.

Not sure how all this works. Is there a chance to see ND in the Orange bowl this year? I got tickets.

The people in charge have no idea how all this works either, so don’t feel bad.

What part? And if UGA called a time out in the SEC CG and got settled we would have been playing them instead of Bama. And maybe things go our way that year in the Natty.

Cobb County. I'm glad UGA didn't win because honestly I don't think that team beats them either and my life would have been 100x more miserable.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Congrats everyone. We’re in. I liked the 10 seed better anyway.

 

[NDPhilly]

The odds we get in are the same odds we had to beat Pitt, -500

 

[spoonidentity]

Priority #1 is making the field

However, if we make it, the current 10 seed would be amazing. That path to the semi final would be one that favors ND.

Unfortunately, ND is more likely to end up matched with tOSU in the second round at 8 or 9.

They were +600 on Draft Kings prior to the reveal, then went to +1000, and now they've settled at +650.

ND was -400 before the show and is now -500.

So Vegas actually thinks that the reveal helped us lol... and Bama is now listed at -1800 which is the "worst" odds I've seen in a hot minute and indicates a chance of moving behind ND with a loss + BYU jumping up with their +400 odds to beat Texas Tech.

So are we in or out?

Quick summary:

Bama jumped us in anticipation of them losing the SEC CG but when they do we jump them and have a buffer between us and Miami all the while Bama still makes the playoffs.

We need Texas Tech to beat BYU and ND is in. Everything else is just click bait and bullshit to get us talking about the playoffs.

Which is better than it was yesterday on DK (-400).

So true, being able to go through Ole Miss or A&M then Texas Tech/Indiana/Georgia/ANYONE BUT OHIO STATE would be ideal.

 

[IrishTusker]

If we're out I will be rooting for OSU. The SEC propaganda is insane. Screw the ACC for their bizarre tiebreakers + NCSU not being a conference game + campaigning. And, candidly, I don't want IU to win a title before we win (another) one.

 

[pumpdog20]

We will not be the 10th seed. It's either 9 or we're out, IMO

 

[Irishdawg]

Well, the key factor in all of this is that I married into a family of Gator fans lol. Zero chance I was ever going to become a UGA fan. Besides, I lived out that way for a few years and really grew to hate that program. I was in Metro Atlanta for the 2012 season and the amount of insufferable UGA fans talking shit about the title game was too much lol.

I think both you and King knew I lived in Forsyth County for 20+ years and have 2 UGA grads plus a Ga state grade (UGA fan). So, I’m happy for my kids that they were able to see back to back natty’s in the lifetime. I have 3 step kids… 2 that are UMN students and a Badger grad that will never experience that happiness. I’ll never forget the pure joy and somewhat relief when ND won their last natty. I’m just excited for the opportunity MFMF gives us every year!! Go Irish ☘️

Lolol...I live on the Roswell/Milton boarder. Like literally the street that separates the schools.

IF Bama wins and BYU loses, we would stay at 10.

I have some good friends whos kids go to West. Dylan Fairchild is still a hero up there!

Cover 3 guys think Miami is 100% not making the playoffs

 

[Kingbish01]

The odds we get in are the same odds we had to beat Pitt, -500

And roughly same odds BYU has of beating TT

 

[Kingbish01]

Cover 3 guys think Miami is 100% not making the playoffs

They aren't

 

[Huntr]

Cover 3 guys think Miami is 100% not making the playoffs

They aren't. It's BYU or ND for the last slot.

UVA +1 G6 or 2 G6 teams are 11 and 12

 

[KMac151993]

So rooting for Boise State, Virginia, Texas Tech, and Georgia??

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

Honestly, I was surprised ND was ranked ahead of Bama in the first place. Doesn't justify flip flopping them this week, but still.

The Tide may have won a one score game against a losing team with no HC, but man it's the Iron Bowl.

Ban worthy.

 

[MPClinton22]

IF Bama wins and BYU loses, we would stay at 10.

This is actually one scenario I also don't love, because Bama would move up and BYU would likely move down, and then we'd be slotted next to Miami. Unless the committee just says, BYU lost but we already knew they weren't as good as TTU, so their ranking already reflects that? Who tf knows with these clowns

We're so fucked. Those guys are brutal

 

[NDPhilly]

So true, being able to go through Ole Miss or A&M then Texas Tech/Indiana/Georgia/ANYONE BUT OHIO STATE would be ideal.

Yeah I (and a lot of others) would have us in the title vs OSU again if nothing else moved. We’d be a 3-4pt road favorite over A&M, basically a pick ‘em with IU, and a 5-6 pt favorite against UGA.

 

[Irish Norseman]

we’ve been lied to. Fuck this committee.

 

[irishff1014]

Why is Miami stuck at 12 after blowing out a ranked Pitt by 31 on the road? Why did a coach-less Ole Miss move up? Why are we swapping Bama and ND after Bama needed a late TD to beat a coach-less 5-7 Auburn? Why is ND dropping after beating a P4 team by 29 on the road?

Every new thing you discover just makes this all look even more ridiculous.

SEC

They get what they want and no one will stop them. ESPN sucks them off every chance they get.

SEC

They get what they want and no one will stop them. ESPN sucks them off every chance they get.

SEC having an 8 game conference schedule also caused a lot of this. Half the 11-1/10-2 teams in that conference would have an additional loss with the 9th conference game.
