Full disclosure, I'm a Buckeye fan.  That said, do you think they drop Ohio State 2 spots after losing to #2 by 3 points in a conference title game?  At the end of the day it wouldn't matter a whole lot because they would play Georgia regardless (if they both win out), but it does impact who they play before that.  

 

 

 

Georgia has a much of a claim on the #2 spot as Ohio State. I won't really care who's #2 or #3, as you said either way they'd face each other if they both win.

ND at #3 tells me a lot about these rankings, they are nonsense.

Iowa St. and Kansas St. turn down bowls. Going to probably see more of this in the future.

The only way the bowls survive that I can see is to put NIL money up for each schools current roster...end of season bonus per se, with the winners getting a bit more than the losers.

Release the pairings already and let's get on with it!

I turned on the selection show and I think it was a four hour show while the NFL is playing.  No way!

Sagarin also has ND #3.

That's crazy too, how in the world are they #3?

Notre Dame is legit. Proved it last year, and this year, they are even better offensively- tough couple of teams to open up with on the road with a Freshman Q making his first starts & were still just 4 points away from winning both of those. 
 

The fact that ND, Vandy & Texas- two of those three- got left out due to JMU and Tulane is a joke beyond any comprehension (I don’t care what the “rules” of the set up are).

Here is something JMU and Tulane don’t want to hear, if they could see the thoughts of their own HC’s head? They’d see that both of them are privately thinking “We finished our missions on Friday. I wish I could go get started on the next one. Yeah, it’s awesome we got a bid.  But we don’t have a chance at winning this thing.”

Aren’t the pairings out?

Yes sir. They are

Oklahoma benefited the most in this one, not overly a good team, didn’t have to play that extra game.

And offensively a trainwreck.

I asked somebody this question earlier in the week in conversation:

”If you’re for OU being in. Don’t you think Auburn should be in?”

Looked at me all crazy. Then I pointed out their scores, head to head (OU close win, like all of AU’s losses were).

I said in the grand scheme of things, they aren't that much different.

Then with how offensively challenged Alabama is? Especially running the ball? That’ll be two other pretenders in the first round. Sad part is…one of them will actually win.

Is the full bracket posted anywhere on here? 

I see Miami got in. Who did they bump out?

They deserved to be.  But ND, Vandy and TX getting left out due to JMU and Tulane getting in?

Then Arkansas AD having the gaul to say & make himself believe that they are really after “finding the 12 best teams”?!

Heaping pile of crap.
