2008 National Champ replied to the topic CFP Rankings in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
My ranking sheet has the top 10 as:
1. UW
2. Michigan
3. Texas
4. Alabama
5. FSU
6. Georgia
7. Ohio State
8. Oklahoma
9. Oregon
10. MissouriLiberty would get the G5 auto-bid and Mississippi would beat out Penn State for the last at large. FSU would be tied with Iowa for the lowest P5 SOS in my top 25 which is why they get passed by Texas and…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic CFP Rankings in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
They had any after 2014?
Certainly not after 2016 when they ignored the conference champ rule they may up in 2014?
You had to realize their credibility was gone after 2017?
The only credibility the committee has ever had is that they will do whatever is necessary to fill the ESPN Invitational with whichever teams ESPN thinks will bring the…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Why Isn't Utah Ranked in the Top 25? in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
0-4 against ranked teams is always going to be the biggest issue. People will forgive bad losses, but you have to have good wins. 7-5 USC & UCLA wins are good for rounding out your resume but that can’t be the headliners.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Glad Washington Won, BIG DRAMA about to happen for CFP in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s such an easy solve. I’m pretty sure they can find 4 stadiums available on 12-16. Put the 3 undefeateds, 4 one losses and Liberty in and run it. Winners meet on 12-30. Championship on Jan 8 since they like to do it on a Monday.
If ESPN bitches about making extra money, sell the games to Fox for the first round. The idiocy of selling the…[Read more]

You’re absolutely right on the rankings. Not sure how I mixed Alabama and Texas up.

I don’t disagree with your 4. The problem is that it makes too much sense.
A committee of people who have proven over the last decade that stated criteria are only important when they want it to be is probably not going to move Texas up 5 spots while leaving out a formerly higher ranked team which beat their previous #1.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic SEC CCG Repercussions in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
as of 5:38pm Arizona time, I see two current scenarios.
1. Michigan and FSU win. Committee decides that FSU has proven themselves and moves them to 1, Michigan and UW stay at 2 & 3, Alabama moves to 4. ESPN will want to sell the traditional Rose Bowl and will get plenty of eyes for FSU/Bama. Pretty much their dream playoff.
2. Michigan…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic After Oregon's Loss Last Night, Jaylen Daniels is the Massive Favorite in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
LSU also had a great defense in Burrow’s year. Daniels is having to do it on his own. But sportswriters like to outsmart themselves and they’ll typically award the player on the team with the least losses.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic SEC CCG Repercussions in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
In a perfect world, 1 loss Georgia and Alabama would get left out. In the current unpronounceable 4 letter word world we live in where they own the playoff, the SEC and the committee are in charge of inviting teams that they can sell the best.,, fat chance neither makes it

Any of the 3 is deserving. As are a bunch of others that won’t even get a sniff because they aren’t a QB or didn’t have the best stats on a playoff worthy team.
I haven’t taken the heisman seriously since Hugh Green lost out to George Rogers in 1980. Even at 12 I was able to figure out that most outstanding player didn’t really mean most…[Read more]

“He’s just on a worse team”
Everything that is wrong with Heisman voting summed up in 5 words. The award is supposed to go to the “most outstanding player in college football”. Leave it to urinalists to take a good idea and bastardize it to near meaninglessness.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic New DB Commit – Quimari Shemwell in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I think @Hellhound is referring to the mindset that goes along with a signing. Not everyone can be a diamond in the rough but every commitment is hailed as the next great Ute.
If 5 kids out of a class of 20 eventually become starters, you’ve had a really good class. But you’ve also had 15 that either got injured, were JAG’s (Just A Guy:…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Well in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Did you get to take little man with you?
I always factor any money I take with me to Vegas as already lost. That way anything I come back with is profit and if I lose my bets, I’m still “breaking even”.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Well in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m not a sports bettor but I’d have probably taken whichever team was getting 9 points. That game was screaming for a 3 point line based on recent history and both teams were evenly matched the first time they played.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Well in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
that’s what vegas figured it would take to get even money on each side. the line isn’t supposed to say which team is better.
They hit the Over/Under

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Oregon State at Oregon in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I remembered Miami saying he’d bet his kids tuition on Oregon curb stomping and looked it up. Of course, had a certain admin set up a game chat, we could have done it there. But apparently gallivanting in sin city was more important 🙂

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Oregon State at Oregon in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
down to 3 points. I’m torn between wanting you to win your bet and having a husky football in my crib. Is there a way UW can win but you make money?
-
2008 National Champ replied to the topic CCG in the forum Football 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Not really a surprise. People have been saying UW is going to fall on their faces since fall camp and they keep finding ways to get it done. It’s not a fluke that they have a zero in the loss column so far.

Oregon wins the 2nd half by 3 TD’s and you are in the money
