2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

If I can figure this out, the playoffs would have looked like this:

1. Oregon
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. Penn State
5. Notre Dame
6. Ohio State
7. Tennessee
8. Indiana
9. Boise State
10. SMU
12. Arizona State
16. Clemson

Notre Dame would have hosted Clemson
Ohio State would have hosted Arizona State
Tennessee would have hosted SMU
Indiana would have hosted Boise State

I would guess that the home teams would win all four of those games.

Second Round:
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Indiana
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Tennessee
Another Bowl: Texas vs. Ohio State
Another Bowl: Penn State vs. Notre Dame

I'll guess that Oregon and Georgia would win.
We already know who won the other two games: Ohio State and Notre Dame.
So now we have Georgia vs. Ohio State and Oregon vs. Notre Dame.
Assuming Ohio State beats Georgia, it's irrelevant for who wins the other game, since Ohio State beat both of those teams.

Is that a better playoff? I like the idea that champions get byes, but I do think it's a bit silly that the #5 team would probably have the easiest trip to the Final Four and will get to the Final Four about 80% of the time.
Oregon's reward for being #1 was to have to play the best team in the mf country. That wasn't fair to them, no matter how much fun it was.

NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

Haliburton was voted the most overrated player in the NBA by his peers this year. His ridiculous playoff performance - I mean that's like his 3rd clutch dagger in a comeback in this year's playoffs already - is suggesting otherwise. Add to that the drama of his dad talking shit to Giannis on the court after eliminating the Bucks. Haliburton is getting a lot of publicity to grow his brand.

I have always like playoffs that re-seed after each round. It's a better way to reward the top seeds but I know the complexities of travel, tv and all that make it tough if not impossible.

2026 VA RB Savion Hiter (ttun Verbal)

I don't think they really had a real great chance at him anyways, They were probably 4th and best in the pecking order.
Yeah, but once the sanctions hit and the rats jump ship....think of all the playing time he'd get. And XMas breaks he'd have off for YEARS.
