It will all sort out. I can cdertainly see them getting 4 or 5 in but that is sort of dependant on how the other conferences shake out. Other than Miami (who's a paper tiger IMO) who gets in from the ACC? Big12?

No.

The CFP is owned by ESECSECSECPN.

They have a financial incentive to prop up the SEC teams.

It literally won't sort itself out.

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.

As a fan of the space-time continuum, I'm going to have to ask the two of you to cease and desist from any semblance of agreeing with one another.

Interesting situation might be developing with who the G5 selection is. Say that Jeanty wins the Heisman and Boise runs the table. They'll be a one loss champ with a Heisman winner. However, I 100% believe that they'll get passed over for a one-loss Army or Navy that wins the AAC, but the Army-Navy game isn't until a week after the playoff field is announced. You could have Army as a 1-loss AAC champ getting the spot ahead of Boise and the Heisman winner and then picking up a second loss a week later in DC.

The regularly scheduled Army-Navy game will end a few hours before the Heisman winner is announced on Dec. 14th, but it’s possible that Jeanty will be an odds-on favorite by then.

The Army/Navy game doesn’t count in the AAC standings because it’s after things are decided.

As you point out the AAC CCG is before that (Friday, 12/6), and the 12-team playoff will be selected on Sunday, Dec. 8th. If either Army or Navy is selected for the playoff, they’d be looking at their rivalry game on 12/14 and a playoff game at another team’s site on Sat. 12/21 (assuming they don’t rise to the top 8 among playoff teams, and that the committee wouldn’t stick them in the 1 game played on Friday, 12/20).

And if the academy team that got selected for the CFP lost on 12/14, there would be screams from Boise St., Liberty, and/or UNLV.

I think a Boise State team with 1 loss (3-points to Oregon) gets in ahead of a 1-loss military academy as of selection Sunday, but that an undefeated Army or Navy could get selected ahead of 1-loss Boise State and then lose on Dec. 14th.

If Army and Navy both qualify undefeated for the AAC CCG, I wonder if they would consider making the CCG their only meeting of the year in order for it to be a de facto play-in game for the CFP and eliminate the possibility of an academy getting selected and then losing before their CFP Game.

But I think there’s too much tradition and advance planning regarding that game for it to be supplanted by a meeting on Dec. 6th in the CCG.

If Army or Navy are undefeated, they should be in. If the AAC winning academy has one loss and Boise has one loss and the likely Heisman winner, it should go to Boise, but it will inevitably be given to the academy winner. You can say "but what if they beat ND," and while that would be better than any Boise win, it would also mean that they picked up a horrible loss. Boise's one loss would be to Oregon. I don't think Liberty sniffs the discussion with that schedule even if they're undefeated.

Yeah, Liberty also misses the App State game as a data point, since it was cancelled post-Helene and won’t be made up.

You’re always advocating for TDU!

I would prefer Boise because I'd like to see Jeanty go up against either the SEC or B1G runner up (unless it's us). Kid got 192 against Oregon. At the end of the day though, I would kind of like to see UNLV get in, but there's no way they ever let that happen ahead of an academy.

Assuming Army and Navy win this week and next, I'm going to bet that the committee puts them ahead of Boise using no losses as justification. If either or both have a decent loss to ND, they'll drop them just behind Boise. That way, they'll use the one beating the ranked other in an AAC championship game as the data point to jump them back in front of Boise. Boise (or maybe UNLV) are proper fucked. They need ND to absolutely curb stomp both academies, or they need both to pick up two losses.

I wouldn't go that far. If Boise drops a game, then Navy could still be a one-loss AAC champion. What the blowout does do is make it a lot harder if not impossible for the committee to rationalize jumping a one-loss Navy over a one-loss Boise. A close loss and they would have positioned Navy to make the jump by beating Army in the championship game.

Well, having served in the Army, I expect Navy to lose another. Thus 0%

messing around with tiebreakers for the SEC CG.
going to be really interesting to see how the committee handles that game (and how they manipulate adjust the rules going forward into future years).

because it's absolutely possible for the 2 participants will not be the 2 highest ranked SEC teams going that weekend.
and one of the participants could be the 5th highest.
