If I know anything about A&M, and... let's just be frank, we all know way more than anyone should... Anyway... they'll find a way to be a perpetual "bubble team" that still just never actually gets over the bubble but once a lifetime or less.

So, I just meandered over to Penn State forums to see what stupid shit they want to complain about today. This one seems legit, if true:

1st round playoff game on the ?

New @CFBPlayoff Executive Director Rich Clark on the Selection Committee picking the first round home teams "Weather, Hotel availability, Ticket Sales.." Bad Lack of Are we on the for the 1st round???

Other than the jerk using emojis to talk, he's saying that the playoff committee is going to include weather in the rankings, which would mean that the weather could affect the home field advantage for the first round of the playoff. If a team in the north is going to be ranked 5-8, they could drop to 9-12 so they have to go on the road.

One nerd posts a video. I didn't watch it. It may give better context to this idea.

Here's the post I like:
I’m certain we will have a bye in the first round.

The only way they're getting a bye in the first round is if they also get byes in all the other rounds.

The committee LIKELY won't drop somebody that's 5-8 down to 9-12 strictly because it's in a cold weather area.........but I could definitely see them doing that if it's in a cold weather area that has ZERO fucking hotels or infrastructure to handle a playoff game. Maybe don't build your mecca in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, assholes.

I'm still pissed that the "home and home" between these two we at lifeless NFL Stadiums.

if ever there was a matchup that just demanded ON CAMPUS night games at the 2 schools, it was this one.

absolutely no doubt

The fans, who are the ultimate source of everyone's paycheck, obviously had no say. If they had asked the fans, 91% of them would have been with you (the other 9% being flat-earthers)

It’s early, but with LSU, Florida, and aTm all losing to non-conference opponents, ESPN might have a tough sell all year trying to force 5 SEC teams into the playoff. UGA, Bama, Texas, and Ole Miss may all make it, Oklahoma’s schedule is brutal, but Mizzou‘s and Tennessee’s aren’t that bad so one of them could go 10-2 and be the 5th nominee.

But if tOSU, Oregon, Penn St and USC all go 10-2 or better, it could mean the ACC and Big XII are 1-bid leagues. Even with that, if Notre Dame ends up in the top-10 they’d get picked so there would probably only be 6 at large bids for conference teams, so some 10-2 SEC/B1G team with a soft schedule could get left out.

That ND/aTm game and the USC win last night could be a major factor in how many teams the SEC and B1G get into the playoff.

OK, some of you are picturing the old Jim Mora clip.

Nah with the 12 team playoff losses really matter less for SEC schools. It’ll take at least 3 losses before ESPNSEC maybe counts them out, and even then you can be sure they’d be lobbying hard for some 3 loss SEC to get in over 2 or even 1 loss teams

People need to stop saying this. It has never sorted itself out. Unless you just accept that the team that wins in the end was the best team and nothing could've changed things. As if having a week off practicing against Oklahoma wouldn't have been better than bashing our heads against a wall against Clemson. Were we better than LSU that year? I think so. We'll never know, though.......because S-E-C S-E-C S-E-C vaulted them over us in the final rankings.
