College Football :2024

[Xuperman]

The Ol' Miss Rebels have the most dominant pass rush in recent memory. That was epic.

Something of note: UCONN is having their best season in quite some time. Now, their schedule is relatively weak, and they have beaten really no one of note that I can see, but most likely they win at least 8 games this year. It's definitely something to keep an eye on, as they build their football program up to a point where they can jet to the big 12.

I noticed the current projected playoff bracket had Oregon, Texas, Miami and Boise State as the top 4 projected conference champions. BYU (who's leading the Big 12 but coming off of a bad loss to Kansas) is currently the #12 seed and in effect getting the G5 conference leader spot.

I'm now reading scenarios where Boise State (Mountain West) and Army (American) could win out and finish above whoever wins the Big 12 conference championship. It's possible the Big 12 could be left out of the playoffs entirely if that's the case.

I think it depends who wins the big 12. If it's Colorado, no way they get left out....Deion is a marketing/branding dream. Now if it's BYU, I certainly could see your scenario playing out.

BYU has zero chance of being left out if they win out and win the Big XII. But if everyone at the top of the Big XII loses again (KU continues to be a wrecking crew) or someone like Arizona State wins the Big XII, and Army can beat Notre Dame and Tulane (obviously unlikely), then the Big XII is hosed unless Boise slips up.
