But they have successfully scheduled a ton of teams. 2020 is a wash because no one did OOC games that year. However, they’ve played OSU, Michigan, UCLAx2, and ND since 2017.
It’ll probably get harder from now on, but UC’s schedule is how they wanted it and not limited by much. It’s that way because it was done when they sucked.
My guesses:
Oregon -4.5 vs. Oklahoma
Oklahoma -6.5 vs. MSU
Oregon -8.5 vs. MSU
So on one hand I’m 100% on board with @zimmer4141 that resume rankings should be how this thing is decided. That being said, it’s really hard to compare resume between an undefeated G5 team and a 1 or even 2 loss P5 team.
Regardless, the current rankings are atrocious from just about any perspective and make no sense.
Hence the need to include more teams. Determine it on the field, not in some hotel/airport conference room.
depends on the year, some years there’s been a clear two, some years teams like notre dame got in at 4 when there was only 3.
FCS has a lot of teams final is too often some random team making a run just to get a beat down in the final though often 1 v 2 happens anyway.
If anybody wants to put money on Oregon -4.5 in a potential match-up with OU, I’d be thrilled to help facilitate it.
I’m at a point of more or less being anti-playoff.
Go back to the four BCS bowl system but keep the Rose Bowl out of the rotation. Five BCS games watered it down.
Expanding the playoff so Ohio State and Alabama have a for sure two-loss cushion for the foreseeable future would be boring even if it does mean legitimate equity for G5 teams*. Also having multiple conference title games each year where both teams are locks to make the playoff is something I’d hate.
The best part of CFB is teams shitting away their chance at a title each week. The lols will be significantly fewer when the consequence for a huge upset in November is…seeding.
*I’ve never understood why they don’t have an eight team G5 playoff.
Good rant:
Also
The problem is that when you are the hot G5 team no one wants to schedule you, and certainly not at short notice. Takes two to tango. The UC, UCFs of the world can’t just pick their schedules years in advance on the hope they have a great team.
It’s a classic catch-22. G5 teams get dinged on strength of schedule, but the better teams won’t play them out of fear of losing, so they can’t improve their strength of schedule. Fuck college football.
nobody in FBS plays North Dakota State anymore should be illegal really
edit–well almost nobody they haven’t for awhile but they’re actually at arizona next year sheesh arizona might wanna cancel that one
That’s not why Cincinnati’s schedule sucks though. You can see how they’ve played UM, OSU, UCLA, and ND in the past 4 years (with no OOC in 2020) that people will schedule them.
The fundamental problem is that their conference blows. MSU/OSU/PSU/UM will play 3 games against each other that are just as good if not better than their ND game.
Lol yah, that line is exactly backwards. OU would prob be -4.5 vs. Oregon.
It’s a cartel, the explanation is corruption, is anyone seriously surprised by this in USA 2021

who thought that tiebreaker was a great idea wtf
there might be a 1st quarter hail mary out of this stupid tiebreaker lmao
lake forest had one game that was only two quarters. Someone’s gonna have to look up some box scores and tally it up
UM over MSU I’m here for the lulz
Meh. Sometimes the committee is just trolling.
We both get a shot at tOSU. Good luck.
hey if we all lose it will change who goes to the rose bowl! (and loses)
I find it amusing that not one of the 63 AP voters have Oklahoma lower than 6th, and yet they’re 8th in the committee ranking.
doesn’t make a difference but Oregon > Ohio State but a few spots down Michigan one spot ahead of Sparty is just sure whatever. Cincy surprisingly didn’t move down but they still probably need both Oregon/Oklahoma to lose one and whatever else
Also doesn’t matter but Oregon likely has to play Utah twice. They might be better but I don’t think they’re a favorite to beat them 2x. Go Utes.
At this point I want to Rose for MSU. Be the 2nd best BiG team. OSU goes to the playoff.
