NCAA Football 2025
Not sure who will win this year, hopefully Arch goes nuts and UT can kick the door in after making the quarterfinals the
most conferences have a tiebreak which is 1. h2h, then 2. record against mutually played opponents
I think 2 is dumb
if I played an elite team and beat them and you didn't play them, and you played a dogshit team and lost to them and I didn't play them, and we both played a solid team and you won and I lost, why should you win that tiebreak? playing an elite team and a solid team and going 1-1 is better than playing a solid team and a dogshit team and going 1-1.
It should just be CFP ranking / computer rankings so conferences can maximize their odds of the best team going (this is what the AAC does), or "who beat the better team" or "whose opponents have a higher conf winning %" are both better tiebreaks, and they are usually #3 or #4.
Anyway this is important bc if Miami loses to Louisville, UVA already beat them so that gives UVA a massive leg up on Miami. If UVA loses, it's likely to Duke, UNC, Cal or Wake, they're still fine since Miami doesn't play any of those. VT is the only remaining opponent that UVA could lose to that Miami plays.
If Miami loses to Louisville, there's a very real chance (maybe even > 50%?) that they get left out of the ACCG. Of course, they might not actually mind that.
Louisville becomes very live if they win, both for a bid in the ACCCG and also a shot at going 11-1 and snagging an at-large
will be interesting to see if all the Rhule rumors affect Nebraska at all. They're 5-1, the win over Cincy looks good, and they dodge OSU/Oregon/Indiana. They've already lost to Michigan, but also have USC to play. Michigan is rooting for them, and USC probably is as well, to get another shot at a ranked win.
The Cal/UNC line is collapsing, down to -7.5. Both teams are coming off of a bye. One team has JKS, the other doesn't.
I dont like any of those, but I'll sweat it.
Cal only -7.5 to UNC? At home?
I feel like I want to hammer that?
And only because CB put me on to their QB with whom I now love.
Dylan Raiola just a kid having fun out there
All the money on the home dog to the ranked team seems bad for Nebraska
What a pick!
A linebacker made that catch?
OMG, **** Crystyl Dick & Balls! Congrats on keeping the 3 TOs yet still hurrying you tumbling tumbling ****face I hope you get replaced by Franklin and choke on it when you somehow chessmate Louisville into having to wait until 3rd down for the clock to run out **** you you ****ing ****face ****!
But at least you hit the under, i guess.
Great game by Louisville.
That roughing the passer called on them the possession before Miami scored their final touchdown was hot garbage. It completely changed the momentum for a short time.
That game was not as close as the score suggests.
lol miami
lets see if the greatest QB in cal history has an answer for this
quite the resume builder Rhule's got going here for the psu job
Replaced by Franklin. Now that's savage.
Two lefty QBs <3
Great Halloween pick blacklab!
Fabulous start by UNC.
The trainwreck continues.
This is all well and good. And I agree that absolutely nothing should be thrown on the field during any sporting contest. (I guess the NHL has their own set of rules for hats, plastic rats and octopuses), but I digress.
But what is there to prevent fans from the opposing team from smuggling in tortillas and throwing them in the playing enclosure to subject Texas Tech to 15 yard penalties and 100K in fines? This sounds like a good rule on the surface, but damn near impossible to implement correctly.
There are a number of things I am confused about here, but I assume the strange options are just normal in a legal state. I hear "boost" on podcasts...
OK, the JMU is more confusing than the others. What's the juice and why not just stop at 3 or 4?
We've got a ballgame. Never in doubt.
