Week 11 Playoff Projections

I'm just a campus stadium advocate over a bowl site. I'd like to see the four bye schools host a second round game at their stadium instead of a bowl site. I know that would give the winners of first round games two away games. But a bowl game is away too. More people are in your camp regarding the bowls. The arrogance of the Rose Bowl turned me off to bowls. I guess I shouldn't throw all bowls into the arrogant/holier than thou Rose Bowl group.

Sure seem they don't care about travel expenses for fans. Especially if West Coast teams end up in the Orange and vice versa for the Rose. I do think they provide some travel expenses for players parents don't they?

I assume this is still active, but maybe not.

I wouldn't mind a semifinal at a bowl site, but 3 straight games at neutral site on relatively short notice is rough.

I suppose this happens for March madness as well but you've got more teams per site

That is a fair point. Throw in the Conference Championship Game, and it could be four in a row. In Oregon's case: B1G CCG @ Indianapolis, Rose Bowl @ Pasadena, Cotton Bowl @ Arlington or Orange Bowl @ Miami Gardens and Championship Game @ Atlanta. Yikes! Could be worse - I guess, if they lost the B1G CCG and had to play a home game in the First Round TOO - which would probably mean Peach Bowl @ Atlanta or Fiesta Bowl @ Glendale instead of Rose Bowl @ Pasadena. 'Twould be a good time to be a travel agent!

Virginia missing as well they woulda made it in 1998

Tulane woulda made it as the G5 in 1998 as well. The G5 is off. Marshall woulda been the rep in 1999. Miami Ohio in 2003 Hawaii in 2007 Northerm Illinois in 2012

I’m not gonna look into this whole list but just from those few I was able to point out without really looking it up I’m assuming this list sucks. Guessing they probably just took the top 12 and didn’t factor conference champs or anything else in. But they completely left off a couple P5 teams.

I am going to assume your reading comprehension and critical thinking sucks, at least on this post.

I just did a quick query on the innerweb and found this ... I am not checking this, but let's assume it's at least close.

I was making a fucking point responding to:

I'll be curious as we get into year 3 and 4 with the same teams in the playoff what the bowl attendance for the round 2/3 matchups ends up being.

It doesn't matter if it is exact or perfect. The list, at least close, makes the point I was making. Unlike the CFP-4 where we did have a concentration of teams, this shows that we will have a bunch of teams cycling in and out. Hell, UGA, the winner of 2 of the last 3, might not make it this year, 2 teams in last year aren't going to make it.

Don't be pedantic.

You can’t just use the top 12 from the BCS cause that’s not how the 12 team playoff we have actually works.

It doesn't fucking matter for the point being discussed.
 
Can someone explain how the Big 12 champ isn’t below Boise State? BYU is pretty good but a conference that has Colorado in its championship game is the 5th best conference not 4th

My bad. Error on my part. Boise went toe to toe with Oregon.

We can thank our bullcrap special teams for the loss in giving up late 100 and 85 yard TD returns. Pathetic.

Bigger issue was coaching staff forgetting about Jeanty in the 4th quarter

While I would put Kentucky somewhere around Northwestern this year, I see what you're saying. Your last line definitely got a chuckle out of me though lol

Sagarin has Kentucky 20 spots better than Northwestern, in line with Illinois, Vanderbilt and UCLA...seems pretty close to me.
