I think you’re right, Deacon’s at Tech, and I think he already lost the starting job there.
***2024 CFB Week 6 Games Thread***
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Dave Flemming had a family emergency and Rece Davis stepped in since he was still there after Gameday.
This means there will be several two and three loss SEC and Big 10 teams that all have losses to an unranked team. I can’t wait for their twisted logic on deserving four playoff bids now. Of course ESPN and Fox are already meeting on coming up with those reasons.
Yes- and How ‘bout them hawkeyes?! Pitiful display in Columbus yesterday. All the tavern hoks can put away their Walmart hok shirts and stop pretending for another year.I'm so happy KU lost again
Yesterday couldn’t have gone any better for us.
You can tell the tavern hoks are checking out. Trent Condon waits a day or so now to put his locked on podcast after a loss. That used to be enjoyable on Saturday night. Now we have to wait for his crocodile tears.

Yet another example of “what’s wrong with this CFB picture” …
Listening to college football radio this morning, and a national sports media guy said, “Is Alabama a playoff team? Absolutely.” Look, if we’re gonna just choose our playoff teams based on blue blood status/conference membership instead of, you know, the actual scores and stuff, what are we even doing?
A loss to Vandy by itself isn’t disqualifying, but there’s a lot of other factors here before you say, “oh, of course Bama’s in, no question, I’m not even sure why we’re playing the rest of the schedule.”

They never really cared about the football season this year to begin with. Iowa is a women's basketball school now.
This is the dumbest thing about NCAA FBS. It's the only major sport I know of where eligibility for the post-season is not determined by wins on the field. The current system is slightly better than before, at least now if you are a major conference team and you win all your games, you will be champion.
Basketball is like this too although the tourney is so big that it's less stupid.
In the no playoff beauty queen era this Vandy loss knocks them out.
In the 2 team playoff era it probably knocks them out.
In the 4 team playoff era it makes them a bubble team and they probably have to win SEC.
In this 12 team playoff they need to lose 2 more to be on the bubble.
If you’re a blue blood, a loss to Vandy or Kentucky only narrows your margin of error slightly. USC is eliminated now I think though. And Michigan needs to run the table at this point.
At this point, SEC is still in good shape for 4 bids, but not 5 (Bama, UGa, Tennessee, Texas). B10 has a solid 3, maybe 4 depending how the season plays out at this point (Ohio St, Penn St, Oregon, Indiana/Mich/Nebby/ILL).
So I see one to two at larges up for grabs right now between ND, ACC, B12. Would help to have ND lose again. And Miami/Clemson/Pitt to drop one

This is the deepest sec I’ve ever seen, as a % even, not just that it has more teams now.
If the playoff were today ND would have to be out with a home loss to NIU.
Notre Dane should also get a loss added for “no 13th data point” if compared to any team that played a CCG. In the past no 13th data point drops a team 3 spots even if their last game was a 50 point win.
This will be the justification to safely put two-loss SEC blue bloods in the CFP.
On the other hand though, if they keep beating each other up, they’re going to accumulate too many losses as a conference to justify at larges.
I read things writing off the entire big 12 bc Okie St (the 14th place team in the big 12) struggled with Arkansas in week 1. This morning I heard Arkansas is team you can't take lightly.
Va Tech was also a laughing stock for losing to Vandy the same week.
The spin to downplay these losses as well as how they'll prop up Michigan is going to be amusing. This week will be forgotten/ excused by mid November when the SEC is racking up points against fcs teams for two weeks.
I have a feeling I’m going to be fine with a 3 or even 4 loss sec resume but sceptical of Notre dame unless they go 11-1. Let’s say USC beats them and they’re 10-2, when it was TCU with no ccg commiteee viewed that as 10-3. They have a decent schedule but it won’t be any different sos than top big 12 teams.
Well 19-14 at half would be almost beating ISU like he said lol. Just a really stupid comment by that guy.
Depends on who the 3-4 losses are, look at Mizzou, they beat an ok BC team but were manhandled by A&m, they'll only play two more rated teams ( ou, bama) and will likely play 5 conference games against teams teams will a losing record and UMASS. If they lose to OU and Bama but will the rest,that's a really flimsy 9-3, a big 12 team with a similar resume wouldn't sniff a bid but we'll have big 10 and SEC teams with those numbers that get in every year.
This comment by an Alabama fan shows they know how the playoffs are determined:
“Don’t worry about loss to Vandy, ESPN won’t leave Bama out.”
“Don’t worry about loss to Vandy, ESPN won’t leave Bama out.”
Kinda surprised they only put ATM at #11. That’s a mere 3 spots ahead of ISU!
