Championship Weekend & CFP Predictions

[Cfrog1985]

Also fwiw, the chairman of the CFP committee is the AD at North Carolina State.

NC State would be a GREAT cultural fit in the big 12. Just saying

 

[BrewingFrog]

Typical ESPN/ABC/Disney greed at work. They do not care what they destroy, only that they squeeze money out of the corpse before it rots.

 

[Dogfrog]

And yet TCU beat Michigan to get to the title game. When Texas loses in the first round I wonder what the excuse will be?

We were the first B12 school, first Texas school to ever win a playoff game. The only way that fact survives is if we keep bringing it up. Even most TCU fans only want to keep whining 65-7.

 

[82 Frog Fever]

Back when TCU was in a non-P5 conference this is the type of BCS/CFP result we always wanted. An undefeated P5 conference champion gets left out.
The playoffs this year are already questionable/illegitimate.
I never thought I’d see it, albeit 12 years too late.
Love the result.

 

[jack the frog]

Is this an in the know type of person or one of those that just starts rumors to get clicks and stuff? I know nothing of this person is why I ask is all.

another broken clock.

 

[82 Frog Fever]

And I want to see UT get left out. I bet they'd leave the Big 12 just as quickly.

Dont worry, they’re still leaving.
Now that FSU has been hosed, more will be turning sour on the ACC and possibly looking toward the B12.

He was early on the demise of the PAC w some details and then seemed tied into the Colorado move. So he’s not just some rando poster. Some of the things he tossed out did wind up being false but I don’t think it was because he made it up. I think some of his contacts began to use him as a smoke signal source.

so I tend to believe him if he says some ACC folks reached out to the Big XII last night

#23 Liberty, not #24 SMU, gets the Fiesta Bowl versus #8 Oregon. That was close, haha.

SMU almost got its first real bowl since the Pony Express days, too bad. They sure won’t be sniffing a real bowl in the wounded ACC.

 

[PineyWoodsFrog]

My premise of Texas being left out was based on thinking there was no way FSU would be left out as an undefeated conference champ and an SEC champ with a win over #1 team would hold more weight in the strength of schedule over the Big 12 champ. I'm probably too much of a BCS purist, which I'm almost certain would have had Michigan, Washington, Alabama, Florida State. I know the committe is not the BCS. I just miss it and thought it was a pretty good system. It didn't take into account things such as an injured QB and what's the match-up people most want to see, which Boo Corrigan indirectly admitted by stating part of the process is asking former coaches and players in the room which teams they'd rather play or not play, meaning the teams they absolutely would not want to play (Texas) go in over teams they figure they would beat (FSU) to create better matchups to watch. I think this being part of the selection process is sickening.

 

[gohornedfrogs]

It’s shameful Washington doesn’t get the Rose Bowl in the final year of the P12.

Why send Michigan and Bama out there?

 

[froginmn]

In ranking Oregon did the committee take into effect whether Bo Nix would play in their bowl game?

 

[NewFrogFan]

If your conf champ is 13-0 and you don’t make the CFP you aren’t a P5 conf

Or your P5 conf is ranked 5/5 which ACC has been most/all of the year.

 

[NewFrogFan]

I think Michigan would happily switch to have Washington but not for B10 vs Pac 10 tradition. ESPN pundits already eating a [ Finebaum ] sandwich for slobbering over Oregon. I think Wash can win it all.

 

[Fred Garvin]

It doesn't matter if he plays in the bowl game. Oregon will pulverize Liberty in the Fiesta bowl. Not many people are going to tune into that mismatch.

I think this is consistent with what you say, as I heard it his contact was an admin or associate in the CO athletic department that gave him a few tidbits early. That connection was shut down hard by the CO AD and consequently he was pretty well just spraying like everyone else later. I know the CO AD publicly repudiated him on Twitter and he removed some erroneous claims. One of the mildly interesting sidebars of that drama.

Yes. But I also think he’s got some connections within the big xii offices as he’s had some nuggets that weren’t tied to Colorado stuff thru this process. But CU was certainly his main connection.

 

[allclearforfrogs]

If I'm FSU I'm getting the hell out of that conference and fast. Wow.

 

[jack the frog]

So SMU to the Armed Forces Bowl?

Fenway Bowl vs. BC

Said the Whiskey fans in 2010.
