I love the homerism, but keep us out of it. A&M fans will get blamed for saying this shit! :pound:

Yeah the last two years have been pretty crazy. I teach math, and a lot is expected from these 6th grade minds that even some adults don't grasp. I will say even with the pandemic and afterwards, my students really came through. We had an 86% pass rate for the state test for my 6th graders. By the way, I taught the Edmunds brothers that play in the NFL. I taught 8th grade math when I had them.

Congrats on that. Getting any academic content into a middle schooler’s mind is a huge accomplishment IMHO.

App State was a three out of four season league champion or some such . every coach and every player was preparing for THAT game.
There are no trap games at this level.

I don't remember much complaining when Nebraska got to play for a natty in 2001 or Oklahoma in 2003, and that was back when there wasn't even a playoff. Seems it's only an issue when it's an SEC team and said team wins.

Oregon was complaining.
#2 in the AP #2 in the coaches going in to bowls
somehow #4 in the BCS.
Oregon plays and beats Colorado who beat Nebraska in the BIG12 title game

I know that some things have to get settled, and some stuff isn't carved in stone yet, but let's talk football. As of now,

1. Which teams are in your 4 team playoff/invitational or whatever you want to call it?
2. Who are your top 3 Heisman players?
3. Does a team not win their conference and still make the playoff? If so, who?
4. Which team(s) is "really going to be back"?
5. What do you consider your team's trap game?

1) Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Notre Dame
2) Stroud, Young, Gabriel
3) Yes, loser of Alabama/Georgia
4) Texas
5) @ Washington State - Ducks have had some problems in Pullman during the last couple trips. They have a good QB and it's coming off a somewhat big game against BYU.

Interesting. I thought I would be the only one picking ND. I think 11-1 gets us there, because that would include a win over Clemson(my ACC winner) and USC(who I think could win the P12). So that would eliminate those two teams. Then I agree I think Texas wins the B12, but they play Bama OOC and I cant see them running the table to finish with just 1 loss. Schedule sets up really nice for us this year. If we somehow manage to beat OSU, I think it's like 75% at that point we'll make it.

I also think ND goes 11-1. I think the ACC, Big 12 and PAC are up for grabs and the champion likely gets two conference losses. The question for ND is whether they slip up somewhere else (USC, Clemson and BYU will be tough games) or whether an AAC team can run the table again.

PAC 12's best chance at the CFP is Utah if they can get by Florida. But they still have to play USC, UCLA and a trip to Autzen. And that's on top of playing one of those teams again in the PAC 12 CG. That's going to be tough for them to finish 12-1.

Yeah, that's kind of my thinking as well, that those leagues might have a 2 loss champ. I don't see an AAC team running the table. Cincy lost a shit ton of production. I think BYU is interesting. They definitely have a schedule where if they managed to go undefeated, I think they'd get in. They play Baylor, Oregon, ND, Arkansas, Boise State, Utah State and Stanford(who I think is better).

BYU definitely has the schedule but I'm not sure they have the defense to go undefeated against that schedule. I see them closer to 8 or 9 wins. Baylor, at Oregon, vs. Notre Dame (Vegas), and Arkansas is going to be really hard to go 4-0 against. 2-2 seems like almost a best case scenario.

who was the last P5 team to go from 3-6 in conference and 4-8 overall to winning the conference the next year?

In 2012, Auburn went 3-9, 0-8 in the SEC.
In 2013, they went 11-1, 7-1 in the SEC, won the SECCG and came within a minute of winning the natty
