College football week 14 thread: The Last Boise Scout

The thing about flag planting is it feels representative of school pride, which the players probably only vaguely had 20 years ago and almost definitely don't now with transfers being the norm and allegiance only contingent on the best NIL package. One of the NC State players shown in that melee is on his 3rd team.

 

Hey, Mizzou won. They now await bowl bids. I hope it’s somewhere close or warm; it won’t be both.

 

Mike Norvell getting in on the flag antics at the end of Florida-Florida State.

 

Did anybody lose today that wasn’t a little bitch about it?

 

No.

 

Of ESPN's 13 experts listed on this page, 11 have Texas beating Georgia in Atlanta and all 13 have SMU over Clemson in Charlotte. There has to be some misunderstanding here. It's time-stamped at 11:30 p.m., which makes it long after everybody knew Miami was out of the ACCCG and Clemson was in. Makes me think the picks were made in the afternoon.

 

Was re-seeding ever considered? If there is an upset, the difference between 8-9 and 12 seems big.

 

I’m looking forward to Ryan Day being handed the national championship trophy and being told he has been fired while still holding it.

 

That fan base is so whacked.
They could go 3-8 every year, but as long as they beat Michigan, everything is fine.

 

ACC (1) -- SMU won't get in at 11-2.
Big 12 (1) -- BYU's not getting in at 10-2, and the CG loser isn't getting in with three losses
B1G (4) -- I don't see how any of those top four get left out. Seeding could change, but it's going to be Oregon, Indiana, Penn State and Ohio State.
Independents (1) -- Notre Dame is safe
SEC (4) -- Tennessee is safe, so is Texas. Georgia is safe, even with a loss in the SEC CG. That leaves you with Alabama and South Carolina for a spot, and the Tide won that matchup. You put SMU (11-2) up against Alabama (9-3) and Bama gets in.
G5 (1) -- This is where it gets interesting. What if Boise loses? Tulane was 17th in the last CFP ranking but will drop out after the Memphis loss. Army isn't in the CFP ranking. UNLV is 22nd. So the MWC GC is for the final spot in the field. If Boise wins, it will likely get a bye. If UNLV wins, they'll still likely be the highest-ranked G5 champ and probably go on the road in round 1.

 

I think Miami gets in over Bama.
