2019 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Games of the century of the week:

PSU @ Maryland - It seems Maryland isn't that good. The Michigan's are....meh. Need PSU and Wisky to stay strong so that a 13-0 OSU doesn't get passed by a 9-3 LSU.

Arizona St @ Cal - The best argument for expanding the CFP might be the Pac12. I think they actually have a bunch of good teams. I don't know for sure because I am not in my 20s and can't stay up that late to watch P12 games. But the winner of this conference probably will have at least 2 losses, but probably played enough good teams that surviving it should mean playoff. But they won't play #22 Texas AM who went 7-5, so no dice.

NW @ Wsconsin - NW looks awful, so now is the time they beat a random good B10 team and make the B10 look weak. Don't do it NW. Take your 3-9 season for the good of the conference.

Virginia @ Notre Dame - Short of a ton of 2 loss teams, I think ND is done for the CFP. However, keeping everyone in the ACC unranked might hurt Clemson's CFP chances if the barf up a game. Probably not, but one can dream.

USC @ Washington - Imagine I said more good things about the P12.

Washington St @ Utah - And again!

Ohio State @ Nebraska - Iowa and Purdue were seen as obvious trap games, and they're the reason OSU hasn't made the CFP the last 2 years. Everyone is pegging this as the trap game. Like Iowa and Purdue, Nebraska has some really good players, but has been very inconsistent this year.

An eight-team playoff would be amazing. Give each of the Power 5 Conference Champions an automatic bid and then have 3 "at large" bids for the best teams that don't win their conference championships. At least that way we'd get 4 SEC teams in every year instead of just 2.

Seriously though, I'm surprised the Pac-12 hasn't been more vocal and supportive of expanding it.

And as always, I love the subtle (and not-so-subtle) digs you always give to the SEC.

I’d include something for group of 5 schools if they are ranked high enough, similar to what they have now for the NY6 bowls.

I know I’m always giving these a like but I hope you do them throughout the rest of the season; shit is low-key funny and combined with some insight.
 
Clemson doing its best to keep me from grading papers
They’ll still get in even with a loss, despite playing 0 ranked teams all year.

They’ve reached SEC bias tier.

Hey now, they played powerhouse A&M at home and won by 14.
 
UNC blew it. 2nd and 1 and couldn’t pick it up on three tries. Bummer.
