Don't underestimate the amount of cultural pressure that will come to bear to include a one loss Army-Navy. There will absolutely be a thumb on the scale for that to happen. And if Army has a close loss to ND and then beats Navy, I'd lean towards them getting the G5 bid over Boise.

Army and Navy don't play until AFTER the field is announced, this could create a situation.

What a cluster fuck that would be.

If it were any other G5, I'd think they'd leave them out just to erase any possibility of that happening or make their bid contingent on winning the game after the selection, but we know that ain't happening to one of the academies.

Root for Notre Dame to do to Army what the Krauts did to them at Kasserine Pass. Otherwise, there might be a good chance of two G5's making it and taking a B1G spot in the process.

You really think they'd even consider sacrificing one of Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State for 1 loss Army/Navy if Ohio State/Ped State/Oregon all finished with 1 loss? I just can't see it.

Maybe. 50-50. Keep in mind that the academy would be a huge attendance and viewership draw, so they wouldn't be giving up any of the baksheesh. My opinion is that somebody will get proper fucked though. A two loss SEC or B1G team. A second ACC team. Boise.

Boise would be first on the pecking order there followed closely by the 2nd ACC team. The 2 loss SEC vs 1 loss B1G depends on who the team is.

Missouri isnt leaping any of the 3 B1G teams, but Texas/Texas A&M is a different story. If Texas loses to A&M to take their 2nd loss their "best" win would be against Vandy, but that isn't gonna stop the nut hugging.

if you want complete chaos, I ran the numbers and there is a mathematical possibility for a team with 3 total losses to win the SEC championship, and leave SIX teams from the SEC with 2 total losses.
and not anywhere remotely close to enough playoff spots available to plug that in. :banger:

The SEC is obviously strategically making their schedules to maximize their potential playoff teams, no reason the B1G shouldn't do the same in the future.

They also need to play 9 conference games instead of 8. Only playing 8 increases their overall winning % which plays into their so many good teams narrative.

This is partially correct. The other part of increasing their overall winning percentage is the fact that they replace that 9th conference game with a game against an FCS team.

Yep nobody is losing that horse shit extra OOC, the whole conference basically automatically gets a extra W instead of half losing because they had to play eachother

not arguing about Chickenshit Saturday, but would like to take this as an opportunity to point out:

Florida suffers first loss to FCS team in school history


I don't think Georgia Southern even completed a single pass that day.
Just ran it at will all day long.

Good memory.

But I think we were referring to teams hoping to get to the playoffs. Florida finished 4-8 in 2013. Had they won that game, they still weren't making it to the playoffs.
