Where was this even discussed? B12, this season, doesn’t deserve 2 teams in the CFP.
The two bids for the Big 12 and a presumed bye doesn’t start for another year or two.
This year, that’s not in effect.
Only the Big 12 champ is guaranteed a bid this year.
As for a 2nd round bye, that’ll likely be the Big 12 champ IF UNLV wins the MWC.
But it could be Boise if Boise wins out.
Wolverine turns it over in the redzone. This game is nuts!
OTOH……
Yormark does make some very valid points about the Big 12 strength of schedule versus the MWC.
See here.
Quote: Yormark is loaded with Big 12 data points. His league has 42 wins over teams with a winning record. The Mountain West has 11 (five of those from Boise and UNLV). Nine Big 12 teams are bowl eligible. The Mountain West has five.
Boise’s strength of schedule is ranked 81st, 12 spots behind the worst of the Big 12’s top four teams (Iowa State at 69). The two leagues have actually met on the field eight times this season. The Big 12 is 6-2 with an average margin of victory of more than three touchdowns. UNLV holds both of the Mountain West wins (at Houston and Kansas).
“Arizona State defeated Wyoming by 41 points. BYU beat them by 20. Boise struggled against Wyoming in a four-point win,” Yormark said. “There is no rationale for us not getting the bye.”
He does have a point imo.
I wasnt aware of those interesting data points until now.
Michigan beat Buckeye. Day now 1-4. IF Buckeye is one and done in the playoffs, very good chance Day gets canned
WOW!!!
What an upset!!!
little bit of a scuffle at midfield now
Osu’s playcall was way too conservative, especially after the interception in the red zone.
Looks like Mr. Born on Third is about to get thrown out
ILLINOIS BEATS NW!!!
9 wins for only the eight time in program history!!!
Most wins since 2007!!!
GO ILLINI!!!
Now, time to watch the greatest of “intersectional” rivalries.
ND v. USC
Not too late to buy $6 tickets for #9 SMU’s home game today.
This is at kickoff. Sideline seats are EMPTY from the goal line to the 30yd line.
Anyone see that massive brawl between the wolverines n buckeyes after the gane? Nukkin futts, cops pepper spraying players lol geesh
Yep, good old rivalry scuffle. That’s all
The biggest no call I saw was when GT had that huge drive at the end of third quarter into the fourth. GT qb was sacked on a solid play but the Georgia sacker looked like he used the GT qb’s face mask to get up. Replays showed it clearly. SEC announcers giggled about it. Very clearly dirty and after the play. Had to settle for a FG. A auto first down bleeds more clock and would’ve set up first and goal.
You rooting for Irish?
Better attendance than any game we’ve had this year unfortunately
Even broke out the Pepper Spray ?
OSU senior class w 4 losses to Mich.
They lost it.
Watching USC- ND.
USC DC led FBS in rush defense w UCLA.
Now they give up rushing yards as the scheme ?
Not on Belk this year. DBs are ok.
Nothing left up front 2 fit the new scheme.
