2022 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Just shows how bad things were that they didn’t care about saving 7.5 mil in a few weeks, they just wanted him gone.

What a disaster hire he turned into.
 
Only slightly surprising thing is that he didn't make it to October, when his buyout would have been half as much.

Did not think he'd win that one, but he found a way to suck enough to make more on the way out.
 
Nebraska's decline is a perfect example of dying youth football in America.
 
Any chance if Day gets fired OSU goes after Frost?

There's some real mental gymnastics from the pollsters that A&M is still ranked but UNC isn't.

Is UNC a top 25 team? Looking at their first 3 games, almost assuredly not.


But is there any case to be made A&M is a top 25 team? Only one. Their recruiting rankings.

Which should never, ever be in consideration.

Can you explain or direct me to a post that shows your methodology
 
Games of great Import


Oklahoma @ Nebraska, BIG NOON FOX: This game is here because.....what else can I put? Oklahoma won last year by 7 in Norman. With Frost fired, hard to imagine Nebraska is up for this game. But a Nebraska upset would wreck the B12.

Georgia @ South Carolina, noon, ESPN: Last year's Heisman favorite vs last years National Champs. One of these things changed a lot since then. One hasn't.

BYU @ Oregon, 3:30, FOX: BYU outlasted Baylor last week and now is on the Cincinnati path. This will be a tough one, and they still have ND at a neutral site and host Arkansas. Beating Baylor is a big point in their favor if Baylor can win the B12. But losing to Oregon could dash their CFP hopes.

Penn St @ Auburn, 3:30, CBS: PSU won a thriller at home last year vs Auburn. Auburn then unsuccessfully tried to fire their coach. Auburn has a 26 point win over Mercer and an 8 pt win over SJSU. PSU went into Purdue and won, so they are more tested so far. A PSU loss would continue to cripple OSU's SOS.

Texas Tech @ NC State, 7, espn2: TTech is coming off a 2OT win over Houston. NC State barely survived ECU week 1.

UTSA @ Texas, 8: UTSA was a NY6 hopeful last year. They lost to Houston in OT. UTSA isn't Sun Belt, but given the way last week went, this upset almost feels inevitable.

Miami @ Texas AM, 9, espn: This seemed like a bigger game until last week when Miami struggled with Southern Miss at home.

I really don't have a direct methodology this early on in the season. By the midway point, I'll actually start diving into SOS, Total Offense, Defense, eye test, etc.

Right now I just list who I think should be where based on how good I think the teams are and what they have shown me to this point. Plus I'm a B1G fan and dislike the SEC so I'm admittedly biased most of the time.

Or when A&M lost to App St at home?
 
Penn State has looked fairly strong early.

They might be better than originally thought.

Shitty Sean Clifford will absolutely hold them back, but 8-9 wins seems more likely than early in the year.
