College Football :2024

The winner of Clemson/South Carolina will have an interesting case to make.

Can the Big 12 just be written out of the playoff this year?

I’m fine with the sec getting the benefit of the doubt. They are by far the best conference every single year and it’s hardly ever close. I fully expect one of them to win the playoff again.

The people talking about notre dames schedule is really weird. Its way better than a lot of the other teams that are going to be in the playoff

Not only is it way better, but they are beating them more than handily, doubling the spread or more, when other teams are squeaking by or losing, sometimes embarrassingly. ND plays and beats more ranked and/or bowl eligible teams by a bunch. They are doing exactly what good teams are supposed to do....now....when it matters most.

If Army had beaten ND, sure. Someone fron the Big XII will probably still manage to finish in front of the Tulane/Army winner now.

The Cocks had a roller coaster season, but I fully expect them to be really competitive next year if no one buys their QB away to a more storied program.
Losing by 3 to LSU, and by 2 to Alabama cost them any consideration.
They also hammered A&M by 24, which should give someone pause to reflect on the rankings.

I realize there are a lot of Irish fans here, but c'mon.

A&M and UofL are their only solid wins....and by slim margins. Surely you are not referring to the 2 Military "ranked" teams as your examples of impressive blowouts? They have beaten no one of any significance AND embarrassed themselves vs NIU.

PSU has Illinois, several solid B10 wins and their only loss a -7 brawl vs OSU....not close.

USC will be significant.
