College Football 2019

Honestly, if you're not in one of the power 5 conferences, I don't understand why you'd play in FBS. I get it, its money, but you have zero chance of winning a championship at that level. Central Florida is a perfect example of that, they went 12-0 two years in a row and didnt get a shot at the championship. It's a joke.

UCF wouldn't have nearly the brand and reputation they do for their athletics and university as a whole now if it weren't for FBS football. Football is about the best marketing tool you can have for a school, and it's harder to do that at the FCS level. How many teams have been able to develop a real brand at that level...Marshall, Appalachian State, North Dakota State? So getting a chance to win the Peach Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl each year isn't necessarily a bad deal. Plus schools like Utah and TCU have been able to work their way up from non-AQ to AQ conferences which is part of what schools currently like Cinci and Memphis and UCF aspire to, namely the Big XII when their TV deal expires.

Plus, as nice as equal access would be the bigger programs still have inherent advantages that will keep them at the top for years to come. If all 130 programs had equal access to a playoff there'd still be disparities in donor bases, facilities, and so on that would make it difficult to every really be on equal ground.

I think eventually when all the contacts expire they'll go to eight teams anyways though. There will be too much money on the table not to. Sixteen is ambitious though.
 
Baylor survives to take The Revivalry. Gonna host Oklahoma on Saturday Night Football next week in the biggest BU home game in years. PJ Fleck and Matt Rhule have to be the two biggest candidates for Coach of the Year.
 
Gary's already championing the idea of 11-1 Alabama getting in again.

They're not gonna have any good wins besides Auburn. Sorry, they're a great team but it's amazing how some programs consistently get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to strength of schedule.

I think their upcoming win over Western Carolina will be just the thing to put them into the playoff

1 LSU
2 OhioSt
3 Clemson if Clemson wins tonight

Battle for 4th spot. Will the committee have the cajones to rank an Oregon or Oklahoma... ahead of Bama when they consider Tua was injured and close loss? Who's 1 loss is the most forgivable? Can Baylor or Minnesota run the table?

6.5-point favorites and at home though. And LSU dominated most of the game.

Have to consider the outside shot of UGA running the table and winding up with 12-1 Georgia and 12-1 LSU too.

Bama wont be in the top four and if the NCAA can prevent it, Clemson won't either.
 
Clemson is straight up monster trucking NC State in their own place

NC State is average at best.

UNC will be the best in North Carolina next year. Ja'Qurious Conley (senior running back from Northside-Jax committed to UNC) is a badass mother****a. Dude's not even human
 
Appalachian State beats both UNC and SC in the same season. Second win for the Sun Belt over the SEC this year with Georgia State’s win over Tennessee.

Muschamp’s gonna be unemployed again soon.

The AAC is a better conference than the ACC this year. Clemson had one whole ranked team on their schedule going into the week and then Wake went ahead and got rolled by VT.

The ACC is a basketball thing that has one or two good football teams. Clemson is obviously good. NC State is okay. Virginia Tech is good but also overrated every year.

Yeah LSU delivered a statement, Bama's defense would have normally came up with stops or turned them over in the past.

Looking at it, UGA probably makes the most sense moving up from 6 to 4 for the time being, win over Florida and Mizzou shut out.

Bama is pretty hamstrung to their weak schedule without getting to play in the SECCG. Even if the committee keeps them at 4 they could easily get jumped after championship games by some of these teams trying to win out.

I think you're right about Clemson not being able to afford to lose a game.
 
Oklahoma has gone full relaxation mode against Iowa State late... and picked off OMG 1 score game
 
Even though they haven’t had the toughest schedule so far, I saw a pretty impressive stat about Ohio State...they’ve outscored their opponents 459-77 so far this season, meaning on average they’re winning by a 51-9 margin. They haven’t won a game by less than 24 points this year.
