There’s a very low chance Bama will be left out of the CFP regardless of the outcome of that game, and imo an even lower chance DeBoer would leave a CFP bound Bama in the lurch a la Kiffin. DeBoer is not a Kiffin-type, and even if he was PSU is not LSU. Kiffin inherited a Top 15 class before any Ole Miss to LSU flips or transfers are factored in. Whoever takes over PSU is inheriting the 150 class! TWO RECRUITS!

Or is this the “Saban to Texas” a la 2013? Bama will need to lose the SECCG by 3 scores for the committee to even CONSIDER leaving them out in any scenario. The only scenario Bama could even be left out is if BYU wins. And I don’t even think they would be left out then. The committee postured exactly the way they needed to keep Bama in no matter what. If BYU wins and Bama loses, Bama bumps to 10 and ND is out. That is exactly why they flipped ND and Bama. The SEC #1 seed would not be left out due to a championship game outcome. The SEC would burn the CFB world to the ground. If ND is excluded, literally who cares other than ND and their fans? ND has zero leverage. ND NEEDS the conferences more than anyone needs ND (which is not at all).

I'm amused that people think the committee is screwing up the process. That is just what committees do. Let the computers pick. As for expansion it has only made things worse. Imagine the committee having to deal with 16, 24, or even as someone suggested 32 teams. The playoffs are watered down with 12 teams, imagine 32. The best 8 teams in football should be in the playoffs. Set the criteria and let the computers pick, adjust if necessary and it will eventually be right. Giving a committee more teams to deal with only brings more chaos.

On top of them losing probably 7-10 guys in the draft, and then whoever portals out.... They're going to need to bring in a massive portal class if they want to field a competent team.

Bruce is right. Good write-up, @Jeff Howe.

hopefully it was a snap/hold situation that was the problem, missing PATs at any level is cause for concern.

What is your source for these stats?

Anything, even computer rankings or AI, is better than a biased and willfully ignorant prejudiced committee. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

No, the greater inclusion of teams was a brilliant move. The NFL is a 32 team private league. Regression to the mean favors them. The FBS is a 139+ public league. It is seeking the best of that public league to include in the playoff. Playing Portland State is not the same as a SEC or most B1G teams, nor should it be.

Tim Brando. Booger’s just an idiot

A- I’m not a fan of the committee. B- I’ve been saying this before the results came out. C- An ugly and inexcusable third loss is absolutely weighty.

Both it seems.

Worst signing day for a major program I have ever seen ... and it's not even close Penn State fired James Franklin, and has now given Franklin a major head start on building VaTech quickly because he flipped/signed 6-7 Penn State level recruits that will now be in the ACC.

What if there were a computer system that analyzed a complex system of metrics and integrated various formulaic data into a process designed to avoid human error and produce the statistically “best” teams…..

You have been brainwashed by the Committee. Total losses ha never been the primary criterion. End of story! Learn to read and think.

If so, he’s wasted a year of recruiting and will have to fill his roster via the portal. Doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Our secondary could use some help as well. The offensive line is #1 & #2 though. Depending on what Wisner and Baxter do … running back seems important as well.

Why in the world would he do that to himself?

Offensive Line! Take all $$$$ buy 2 guards and a center! we got the rest covered! 3 IOL interchangeable guard- Center

HUGE mistake and has messed up the mystique of college football. It was different than the antiseptic NFL. It was a better time. Much so.

A trustworthy WR1, Linebacker depth/experience

Michigan is a very dirty team. Lots of late hits, and steroid induced maniacs on that team. The coach has zero control of his players' behavior or he encourages it. I worry about our players' safety against these dudes.

She's back. It does appear to take a year for the knee to get better. The same thing with Justice Carlton. Rori is the best point guard in the country but Aaliyah Chavez at OU is the best point guard scorer and passer. That girl is something else.

Offensive line. That's it.

I agree. The whole fiasco with BYU is a horrible look for PSU.
