2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

No fan of the SEC, especially Texass and Bama, but if Texas gets left out, you can bet their AD is on the phone cancelling the game with the Buckeyes. I don't think Day would mind that either.

Texas is not making it, they aren't getting "left out" either framing it that way makes it seem like they were impressive enough to justify being in, they are a 3 loss team who lost to a 4-8 team and also needed OT to beat 2 5-7 teams. They have zero real argument especially with the amount of 2 and under loss teams this season.

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

I found this VERY interesting....

Indiana finished the season ranked #9 in the country in Rush Offense and #11 in Rushing Average. But as Lee Corso used to say: "Not So Fast My Friend."They have faced probably the easiest rush defenses all season. Some of those defenses:
FCS Indiana State
#64 Michigan State
#65 Old Dominion
#98 Kennesaw State
#104 Maryland
#112 Purdue
#120 UCLA

But what happened when they played good Run Defenses? They folded like a cheap lawn chair.
#18 Wisconsin: 83 Yards | 2.2 AVG
#20 Oregon: 111 Yards | 3.0 AVG
#24 Iowa: 104 Yards | 2.7 AVG

#71 Penn State: 108 Yards | 3.5 AVG

This is what I come to as well. Every team worth a damn they’ve been low key lucky to get out alive. Credit to them for finding ways to win but OSU has handled everyone which included the teams on somewhat equal footing.

I’ll bet anyone any amount they want that Texas will not back out of next years game vs OSU should they get left out of the CFP this year.

We can take it to email DMs or whatever but be prepared to put money down.

I say this because when real money comes into play, people forget the message board bullshit.

What’s hilarious is these bums thinking this is out of character. Especially the Diese family podcast.

They’re basically upset because that’s “not Michigan football” and they think they’re an elite program.

No, this is what you are Michigan man. You’re a 9-3 program and you always have been. You’re talking about the 2021-2023 seasons? You think those are what Michigan football is? Those years were built on cheating you ignorant fucks.

You’re not an elite program, you’re not a 12-0 caliber program, and haven’t been for your entire program history.

This is exactly what you are at your best. A 9-3 team that does nothing but attempt to fight during and after the games.

Enjoy Orlando.

Yeah, that loss to OSU is what sank them. Not the loss to a team that finished 4-8 overall and 2-6 in their conference. That was a good loss to an SEC team nobody wants to play.
Apparently, the OSU loss is the problem because scheduling that game was in their control. If they had scheduled a cupcake, they’re in. It’s still whiny stupid, but I see their viewpoint.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

SIAP but I just saw this article diving deeper into Penn State




We might’ve been a circus the past few weeks, but at least we landed our top target.

Unlike the pedsters…

They should call it like it is: Franklin is black.

Big strike against anyone up there.

Totally serious.

Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Meanwhile in James Franklin's VaTech office...

SIAP but I just saw this article diving deeper into Penn State


While it has long been debated whether or to what extent Paterno knew of Sandusky’s crimes, for which he was convicted to 30 to 60 years in prison in June 2012, the shadow of ‘Joe Pa’ looms large over Happy Valley.

So large, in fact, that it reportedly led to feelings of resentment toward James Franklin, who was hired as Penn State’s coach after Paterno’s successor, Bill O’Brien, left for the NFL.

“When Franklin took over in 2014, the school was still reeling from the tumultuous end of the Joe Paterno era and the Jerry Sandusky child-sex abuse scandal. And despite his good relationships with players and many within the school, other people — like some donors and others affiliated with the school — never took to Franklin, even after a 2016 Big Ten championship, which still stands as the high point of his time in Happy Valley,” The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman and Ralph D. Russo said.

We might’ve been a circus the past few weeks, but at least we landed our top target.

2026 CA WR Kayden Dixon-Wyatt (USC Signee)

Back to the old question - would you rather sit on the pine at a big school, or get on the field early with a lesser light? Mater Dei is just a stone's throw from USC campus. If you do gotta do this, just make sure you get your bag before USC's gotta pay out Riley.....
USC isn't really a lesser light though. They can also show off their NfL WRs past and present as well, a star studded alumni base and a bunch of connections for a Cali kid going to a USC feeder school.
Yeah Riley getting the number 1 class after not even being to playoffs despite being there for years is wild

Not really...
It helps when you have 40 recruits...
And that too

Bryce "L" Underwood (QB ttun, for now)

Take the name off the jersey.

I just saw a major college level QB, at the end of his first full year that still won’t set his feet to throw a forward pass.

Just stop there.

Either zero coaching or zero learning but can’t is the same net effect as won’t.

Forget his ceiling/athleticism/moxy etc. How do you project something positive in the future for a student who can’t handle Subject 101?

2026 CA WR Chris Henry Jr. has signed!!!

Yeah, but it is definitely no secret he is climbing, and will eventually leave. Add the bag, and a kid can substantiate a different move.
Again, you can say that almost anywhere now. Theres rumors that Lincoln Riley is starting to want out, and that's the other favorite along with Oregon(who just lost their OC to UK).

Getting fired by Penn State may be the best thing that ever happened to Franklin.
Ironic that there has been a more direct blowback and negative impact to the success of their football program for firing James Franklin than the Sandusky scandal.

I always felt like this pos program should’ve been totally nuked for that and they got a slap on the wrist imo
