aujeff11 6,243 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Just now, DAG said: I️I hope you are right bud. I just don’t like to put these things in the committee hands Agreed. I hate putting our fate in their hands. It’s really weird. Georgia and Bama both could end up facing each other twice. The howls would be loud if that was at the expense of Wisconsin. I don’t think it would at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am personally a fan of the idea of the 5 power conference champions and additionally 3 at-large bids to end something like this but I can see why they wouldn't want to expand as well.

PowerOfDixieland 3,223 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Not a chance that an undefeated Big 11 team gets left out by way of a 2 loss SEC champion. If that happens it won't take long for the playoff to expand to 8. Which would make a couple of additional bowl games relevant again. Sheesh.

Six seems best—make the regular season matter more than eight. Have quarterfinals hosted by #3 and #4, while #1 and #2 await in the semis. The losers of the quarters would go to a predetermined at large NY6 bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Fla not looking good today and their QB just went down with some kind of injury.....was just rolling out and went down...knee perhaps....and that makes it worse for them. but they do get 3 more ...USCe up 14-6 A game that probably means very little but give USCe fans credit....a pretty full stadium today.

Can you imagine a consolation bowl? They used to do that in the basketball Final Four...it was considered punishment by the participating teams. The overwhelming response from coaches, players and fans would be "thanks but no thanks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Miami giving ND fits...up 14-0 and Richt's team has finally put some fans in the stadium.....though maybe half of them are ND fans ...it is plenty loud there tonight. This might take ND out of the race if it keeps up like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I don't think we'll need to worry about an undefeated Wisconsin team, as I think OSU will beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
