I was going to say the same. Dallas/Fort Worth is a massive football crazy market. Regardless, Alabama has a national brand while SMU was on absolutely no ones radar until this year in the ACC. I have some secondhand ties to SMU. They have a lot of money, crazy boosters, and are going nowhere...

I think, and hope, the CFP retains SMU over Alabama. It would set a terrible precedent to punish a team that loses a close conference championship game while rewarding a team for not playing. Past precedent like not punishing TCU in 2022 for losing to K State in the conference championship...

Clemson barges their way into the CFP. So, the final two CFP spots are between SMU, Indiana, and Alabama. 5 Highest ranked conference champs Oregon - bye lock Georgia - bye lock Boise - bye bubble ASU - bye bubble Clemson - bye bubble Next 5 Texas Penn State Notre Dame Ohio State Tennessee...

Should we start a poll? Does SMU make the playoffs if they get monkey stomped by Clemson?

And yeah, the Fighting Baptists have a good chance to get to the semis before running up against North Central.

Wow, Texas with an old school 1990s "jack em up" hit on the Georgia QB trying to get a TD in overtime.

Yeah, I didn't see the game but saw the box score. Johnnies ran the ball...wait for it...9 times the whole game. You'd think they'd try running it once in a while just to burn clock, wear down the opposing defense, and help out your own defense...

Effing Rossi mailed it in before the Purdue game last year after interviewing for the MSU job. Fleck hinted at something going on behind the scenes in the week leading up to that. Rossi can go pound sand.

I figured TommyBoy would be on here gloating already.

The SEC championship game sounds like Georgia basically playing a home game. If I'm Texas, I'd put up a stink about the game being held there every year. It's akin to the BG10 being played at Ford Field every year.

I logged in to ESPN+ just in time to miss that game. Sounds like it was a great one.

There were several upsets today. Seems like there's a lot more parity at the top of D3 unlike a decade ago where Mount Union and Whitewater dominated every year with a few others like UMHB or North Central popping here and there. I get the feeling more schools are placing more emphasis on...

The CFP doesn't ensure the best 12 teams are in the playoffs, but it does ensure at least the best 8 or more make the playoff (the best teams according to the CFP). Let's say hypothetically that the CFP believes the SEC has the top 8 teams in the country and ranked them that way (I know...

I don't care what anyone says, mock me, but Army should get a bid to the CFP, blowing the doors off Tulane in the conference championship. Just cuz.

I think this is why the CFP stipulated that the top 5 "ranked" conference champions get an auto bid and only the top 4 ranked champions get a bye. If a 3-loss champion won their Power-4 conference (highly unlikely), they probably wouldn't get a bye and might not even make the tournament...

The simple fact is that QB is now a portal position. 10 of the top 13 BG10 QBs in yards are past or present portal players.

Was the guy a late bloomer? It looks like Nebraska and three MAC teams were his only FBS offers.

Even though your comment is fully tongue-in-cheek, it holds a kernel of truth. There's a point where the conference championship games could become a secondary thought for those with national championship aspirations. Kind of like the last games in the NFL season where playoff teams have already...

Case in point... "If our team all got COVID today and didn't play we're in."

The portal/NIL, both for getting new players and retaining quality players that might have been better than their star-ratings (Ersery is the perfect example), is just as important as the HS incoming class.
