CFB 2023 Week 13: A thread rising up to the challenge of its rival

[stp130]

Georgia defense is a concern. Better tighten it up or they're going to be on the outside looking in.

 

[Ale Xander]

So,
1 spot in playoff to SEC champion
1 spot in playoff to PAC 12 champion
1 spot if a Michigan wins (to MI)
1 spot if FSU wins and Georgia wins (to FSU)
If Georgia loses they/Bama steals FSU spot (if Michigan wins )
If Texas wins, Georgia wins and either FSU or Michigan lose, they (TX) get a spot
If Georgia wins and 2 of 3 of Texas/FSU/Michigan lose, Washington gets in if they lose. OSU get in if they win
If Georgia wins and all 3 lose, OSU gets in and Washington gets in if they lose
If Georgia wins and all 3 loses, and Washington wins, both tOSU and Michigan all get in
(Georgia Washington and both one loss teams in big10)

My understanding

Fairly big win for the cyclones

So if FSU wins their 19th straight game you have them out but 3 1 loss teams are in if Oregon and Bama win(Georgia, Bama, Ducks, with undefeated Michigan)?

Yeah, that’s some bullshit but I’m not getting worked up about it because I’m not marking down Louisville as a win until it’s over.

 

[riboflav]

Do you take him with what might be a top five pick?

I'm not highly knowledgeable in football even though I watch a ton of it. But, based on what I've seen the past several weeks I would take Daniels assuming Williams is gone. I would take Daniels over anyone else after Williams. This reminds me a bit of take Durant over Oden or take Tatum over Fultz. Not a great analogy because I'm arguing for taking the de facto number three guy over the number two guy instead of taking the number two over the number one but same principle.

8-4 Jacksonville State too. It'll be a crappy bowl but hopefully not the Fenway Bowl for either.

Well there’s an article in The Athletic arguing the Georgia-Alabama loser gets shut out if everyone else wins. I agree.

12 Sun Belt teams are going bowling. Just the 3rd conference to ever have this--ACC and SEC have done it.

If Alabama loses, there is no way a two loss team gets in over a number of one loss teams.

If Georgia wins and everyone else wins, it's Georgia, Michigan, FSU and Washington (I'm not putting Washington ahead of FSU, FSU IMO is the better team, what a gutsy win that was for them yesterday.)

 

[snowmanny]

OK. But the third possible outcome , after the two you mentioned (Alabama losing and Georgia winning), is Alabama winning. And they were arguing Alabama in, FSU in, Georgia out.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Let's say Oregon beats Washington. Then what?

 

[Ale Xander]

Let's say Oregon beats Washington. Then what?

Oregon would be in Washington out
Washington hasn’t had an 11+ point victory since September
In common opponent strength of victory, Oregon blows them away

 

[mauidano]

Are there other people here who still believe this? I think he's become a shrieking, cliche-ridden parody of himself who no longer possesses even a shred of nuance - I actively try to avoid games he's commentating on.

I find him amusing and entertaining. You have to have a “schtick” to stand out from the vanilla array of hundreds of sports announcers. John Madden was legendary for his.

I think that’s right. It should be the SEC champ and P12 champ, plus Michigan and Florida State if they win. Texas is next up if Michigan or FSU falter. It’s possible the committee would give Texas the fourth spot over Alabama if Bama beats UGA.

 

[Humphrey]

That’s wild. I always thought the most embarrassing call an official could make is missing an extra point or field goal.

The Packer/Colt playoff game in 1965 had a similar theme https://www.google.com/search?q=packers+colts+1965&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS752US781&oq=packers+colts+1965&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCAgCEAAYFhgeMggIAxAAGBYYHjINCAQQABiGAxiABBiKBdIBCDM1MTFqMWo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
That bad call resulted in the uprights being 20 feet and not 10 (I think they are 25 or 30 now) and the positioning of the two officials on each upright (in those days, it was the ref's call from behind the kicker).

Auburn are the biggest choxkers

College football viewership according to the NCAA is up 15% year over year and this is tracking to be the most watched season ever (supplanting 2015).

Easiest answer is that traditional powers are good plus all of the Colorado publicity. I know when FSU is playing well they put up huge ratings numbers. I didn't always know this.
