So far I am enjoying the Jimbo Fisher era. There's no great win yet but Sumlin was losing the kinds of games they've won the past two weeks. The big tests are obviously going to be the SECW schools
Too bad NDU didn't lose. If everyone holds serve it will be Bama, Clemson. ND, and ?

VT beating UNC tonight might be the luckiest, most undeserved win I've ever seen. Holy shit they had no business winning that game.
michigan looks better than tosu both sides of the ball. i would put serious coin on them winning that game right now.
Prince will get beat worse than he did today.

After all of the chaos and UCF pulling off a gritty win on the road, I wonder how many teams jump them? I think at minimum 2 jump. Michigan and maybe UF.
Maybe but
1. Haskins is a bit harder to defend than Hornibrook
2. Bosa should be back healthy (unless he sits out rest of season)
1. Are you in a major conference
2. Do you bring in the tv ratings
3. Strength of schedule is rumored to be a factor
The SEC champion, the SEC team that lost to Alabama the least recently, and then a random number generator determines which two P5 champs get screwed.
W is a W. UCF shut them out in the second half and got it done. That's what good teams do. Memphis has been fucking games away from UCF since 1990!
I've never seen such a bad set of decisions ever. Just a complete and utter failure on all parties involved.
Or be Alabama it looks like they made the playoffs every year. I know almost nothing about college football. I tried to get into it years ago but I hated that there were no playoffs, but I just found out they do have playoffs now.
It's not a real playoff system, though, that you see in other sports. It's an invitational and nobody knows how teams are selected. Everything is secret and also half of the league is eliminated from contention before the season starts.
Alabama is usually the SEC champ, and in the other years, by definition, lost to Alabama least recently.
Undefeated Power 5 conference champ is basically guaranteed a spot no matter what. Or undefeated Notre Dame, probably slightly below the undefeated conference champs.
Once teams with losses start getting picked it gets messy since there is a committee that weighs factors like being a conference champ, strength of schedule, and the quality of a team's loss.
I don't think there is really inherent bias against G5 teams apart from the strength of schedule. AAC is making a decent amount of noise while the middle to bottom of multiple P5 conferences are looking pretty garbage though.
Not true in a world where there are five Power 5 conferences. Which is the main reason only having 4 spots is dumb. It's super unlikely to ever happen, but the fact it is a possibility is the gigantic fatal flaw in all of this.

Gets home, checks scores
Of course blood week would happen the Saturday I have personal shit goddammit.

LSU gonna fuck around and lose to Clanga because that's what LSU does
You would think that Gameday would be in East Lansing, but instead, it is in Wazzu territory.
Guess they wanted to leave Michigan.

"Baylor holds Texas scoreless in the 2nd half"
OU fans
To be fair, Ehlinger (?) did not play.
Otherwise, yeah.
It would be Michigan's third game this season and it is nearly a lock that they are going to Michigan-OSU.
Also going to Washington State has been 15 years in the making.
It's actually awesome
Oh, so they have not been to Washington State before? Could have sworn they have.
Nevermind then.
Oh, bummer. It was a really good CFB watching day.
Tons of getting way too invested into the last quarter of games you don't care about because you've picked an ad hoc team to be a homer for... that's what I look forward to the most when fall comes around.

I thought it would be in Clemson for State/Clemson but the Wazzu connection was too much to pass up I guess. And no, they've never been to Wazzu despite the Wazzu flag flying at every GameDay for the past 15 years.
Yeah I was at a wedding. Whatever. You're right- these are my favorite Saturdays and I'm bummed I missed it.
