2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I see this coming from the committee tomorrow. Sorry, ACC.

byes
1. Indiana, duh.
2. UGA
3. tOSU (rematch with IU has to be in the final)
4. Texas Tech

Home games
5. Oregon
6. Ole Miss
7. aTm
8. Oklahoma

9. Notre Dame
10. Bama
11. Tulane
12. James Madison

I have a feeling Ole Miss gets bumped down due to Kiffin bolting on them. They dropped an unbeaten FSU because they los their QB in the past you don’t think they’ll hit ole Miss?

Plus, just looking at QB, I don't think OSU faces as good of a QB as Mendoza with any other team.

Skill position though on others are better (like WR), but not QB.
Honestly I'm not sure there are many better skill positions wise either. Georgia RBs but not we. Oregon maybe but they also lost to team. A&M is boon or bust. Ole miss maybe. Maybe only ND has more skill wise which is wild to say

IMO, Carnell Tate = Jeremiah Smith at this point.

Lots to work on with this team, i.e. o-line.

Then this: Was Matt Patricia only beating weak teams up to this point?

Or, is he still learning cfb opps and improving?
Jeremiah is light years more physical. Tate is going to be awesome in the NFL though.

O-line got better once Van Sickle got in there. It also got better when the plays were called to their strengths.

I don't get what you're saying about hte defense - Indiana had literally its worst offensive performance of the year tonight. The defense wasn't the problem.

He held them to 13 pts and 340 yards. It's not like he got lit up Jim Knoles style vs TSUN the first 2 years or Georgia

It's fine in my younger years I would have done it too hell even last year maybe. But I made a mistake and might have damaged my health long term recently. So suddenly I'm way more chill and don't let things get to me as much as they used too. Cause my body doesn't need that shit plus the perspective tends to come around when you do that.
My health isn't involved in any of this, so it isn't in jeopardy.

Want the story of the game?

We gave up 29 yards in sacks.

Other than turnovers we did the one thing we couldn’t do.

We couldn’t protect Julian.

Don’t blame the kicker, don’t blame the play calling… the blame goes to the OL.

Couldn’t protect 10, couldn’t get how many short yard situations?

My critique with the play calling is we constantly set ourselves up for 3rd and long.

If it’s 2nd and 10 don’t fucking run the ball.
Also Julian was seeing ghosts till the 4th but he got right. So I'm not as worried as I would be if he never adjusted

OSU has to be #2 tomorrow night don't they

The Big 10 champ would have been nice, but there is a bigger title waiting
Probably 3 behind Georgia. But as long as they are 2 or 3 it's fine. 4 puts rematch to Indiana in the semi's and this game showed that should be the title if it happens

OK, I accept your rebuke in respect of you. I apologize.
It's fine in my younger years I would have done it too hell even last year maybe. But I made a mistake and might have damaged my health long term recently.

Tough ask to beat the Wolverines and then come back and play a tough conference championship game knowing that you’re already in the playoffs. Nobody wants to hear this, especially right now, but don’t be surprised if there’s some rethinking of the schedule at some point. College (and I use that term loosely) football has changed. Think about it, used to play TSUN and then sit for 30-40 days. Now it’s lace them up in one week.

Indiana deserved to win tonight (arguably the biggest win in IU history) and I hope that the Bucks get to play them again.

That wasn't even a slight at Sayin per se (although he did miss some open guys and that is a trend for him). Mendoza gave his guys the best possible chance on three+ contested throws and that was the difference.
Yeah they really need to work with him on throwing the seam throw whatever that is. And occasionally he just looks the wrong way on plays. I'm not sure if that's pick a side and he's picking wrong or set reads he's not getting to back side quick enough

Yep, not even mad about this one. Guarantee we were still riding the high from last week. I’d take a win last week over this one. I’d rather see IU win the BigTen than Michigan, Penn State, or Oregon. We didn’t show too much tonight either. Day plays chess. Guarantee next game, we look completely different on offense. We either fall to 4 and get a bye, or fall to 5 and get a home game vs 12.
I personally don't think they fall past #3. Lost by 3 points to the #2 team in the country who was also undefeated and averaging over 40 points a game.

I totally agree.

I don’t even think we’ll play Indiana in the final.

I wish we would but they’ll lose to someone
Frankly that’s kind of why I’m not very confident. IU is clearly legit. I think that is far from the best shot we’ll see in the playoff.
