i was just sayin!

sorry, i misread the first post. BYU winning would severely endanger bama yes
November 30, 2025 at 5:56 AM
Don't think so
November 30, 2025 at 5:29 AM
People say this but it elides the point
November 30, 2025 at 5:26 AM
oh missed that, yeah one more. kick on first down if you have to

What's understood doesn't need to be projected

I'm on record as being ambivalent about ND vs. Miami. Wish I had a stronger view on it. If we don't care about head-to-head, though, let's drop Oklahoma behind Bama and right to the edge of missing the field

If JMU didn't also lose, yeah.

I need to stress that there's like a 4% chance of Troy winning. Sun Belt game will be a laugher

Vanderbilt: Great playoff case, and I don't think it's happening

Miami: Great playoff case, and I don't think it's happening

Texas: Fine playoff case, and not happening

BYU: Great playoff case, not happening if they get beaten by Texas Tech again

This is a TOUGH year at the top, man
November 30, 2025 at 4:55 AM
oh right. yeah then duke gets in
November 30, 2025 at 4:51 AM
There isn't going to be room for Texas, fortunately. Pretty good case in a normal year but they couldn't justify it
November 30, 2025 at 4:51 AM
Miami or BYU get in.

Also if BYU wins the Big 12 game someone is gonna have to get bounced
November 30, 2025 at 4:48 AM
personally a 7-5 duke doesn't scan to me as "wow what an awesome little guy story" the way, say, North Texas getting in would. but i get it
November 30, 2025 at 4:40 AM
Yes. New peak of genre

Issuing correction on previous post of mine bsky.app/profile/bret...
Purdue actually finished in the middle of the MAC, they just didn’t play any MAC games due to some obscure rule.
