CFP committee cites Georgia schedule, changes stance on idle team movement
âYes,â CFP selection committee chairman Hunter Yurachek said on a conference call, âidle teams can move based on the results of the championship games.â
Comments
Maybe it's inevitable but why have repeat games. like Notre Dame-Texas A&M?
“But both of these are really, really strong teams, and Georgia got the nod just based on their strength of schedule and the wins that they have versus Texas Tech.”______CFPC
I say...we hold onto statements like these and do a little post season critique. Lol
I can't wait for reality to hit. Texas Tech? Notre Dame?? As good as Georgia or Alabama.
Lolol....how many times over the years, have we heard propaganda like this, coming from the BIG10/12 sycophants in Sports media. Only to see em come apart at the seams, under top-tier SEC Pressure.
Notre Dame's best chance at a Natty, was in 2012(?)....when they made it to the BCS Championship Game versus Alabama. THEY were supposed to be "great" too. Got their asses handed to em.
IMO....The real CFP Semi-Final game will be played at 4pm Saturday....UGA vs Bama. The other Semi-Fiinal....is @7pm in the BIG10 Title Game...with OSU & Indiana.
Then....there's a bunch of Exhibition Games and Bowls....before we get to the meat. OSU vs UGA in the Natty.
OSU is on the target board for everybody. They could be the real deal....but, it's hard to tell, based on who they played. Afterall....they only scored 14 points on Texas....However, they only allowed 7.
To be fair, though....it was Manning's first real Start....on the road against the #1 Team in the Country. No telling what would've happened, if Ewer or an experienced QB operated the Longhorn offense....for that particular game.
Can the dawgs beat Alabama with a backup center, who has very little playing time?
notre dame has outscored opponents 440-143 during a 10 game stretch. Yet they whine, and complain that the score is being run up on them if a team scores more than 40 points against them 🙄
The CFP becomes a bigger joke with each passing year.
Yes. While the Center is the most important position on the offensive line, and it's always a disruption when you have to change em out.
Imo...The Dawgs more than likely, started working on this potential issue.…back during Spring Practice and during the fall. It's always one of the areas, you want to build depth.
The biggest issues brought on by a swap of Centers, are....disruption to timing, communication and ball security. UGA has had plenty of time, to work another Center or two into the rotation....and, allow Stockton to work with em, to mitigate the negative impact.
In fact, i think he already has 2 or 3 weeks of practice with the backups, in anticipation of Bobo being unable to go. So....I don't think, the Center is gonna be an issue at all.
Go Dawgs.....45-13
I said, from the get-go....if they don't write down every single facet and checkpoint, for ALL to see. Along with the weighting of each criterion...to provide to the Media, Coaches, Players and Athletic Administrators.... SO EVERYB6ODY....Knows the rules and Standards, as it should be.
I should be able to look at the "Standard Operating Procedures" of the CFPC to determine, the minimum achievements my team needs to accomplish....in order to compete for a Championship.
There should be zero debate....cause, it's all in black & white. Until DIV1 CFB does that one basic thing....this is all a BS Money Game.
That's the NEW CFB Championship....the guy that controls the most media, has the most NIL dollars and biggest donors, and sports the best "school history"..…will always be at the top of the polls.
The rest of the mudbugs have to claw their wayupp the polls....year by year....like Vanderbilt. Lol....next year's preseason poll will probably have Vandy in the top 20. That's an improvement, well overdue. Imo
"Unlike last season …"
Because each year is different? In 2023 you had 3 undefeated teams (Michigan, Washington, FSU) and 4 extremely strong 1 loss teams (Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State) basically evenly distributed among different conferences (Michigan and Ohio State from Big 10, Texas from Big 12, Alabama and Georgia from SEC, FSU from ACC, plus 12-0 Washington beat 11-2 Oregon twice). So why on earth would you "be consistent" and use rules from 2023 for 2025?
Because - should things hold to form - you are only going to have one undefeated team (Oregon) and a whole bunch of one loss teams with varying resumes (from the very tested Georgia to the very untested Texas Tech with Indiana, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Oregon in the middle) and another group of 2 loss teams that are probably better than most of the one loss teams (Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt) and others that would probably lose to Texas and other 3 loss teams (Miami, BYU, Virginia).
The only consistency is a bunch of fans always insisting that the committee acts in favor of their programs or their interests because of "strength of schedule" being the only metric that allegedly mattered. The actual results - UGA and Tennessee getting blown out by Notre Dame and Ohio State in their first games and Texas needing a Cam Skattebo injury to prevent getting upset by Arizona State before also losing to Ohio State - showed that being an actually good team with superior play at skill positions (which no SEC team really had last year because the QB, RB and WR play wasn't as good as it was in the Big 10) matters plenty too.
dumpster fire...
"Hold to form."??? Lmao....what form?
CFB has become the only sports amoeba in World History. Lol
I'm on the edge of my seat....waiting for it to take a new form for next season.
It's a legitimate question and concern. I'm still waiting for more news about how Bobo's actually doing…
It seems that a lot of people are trying to logic their way through this debacle. It has nothing to do with logic, honest assessment of the teams (beyond surface numbers), and not much in the way of integrity.
College football is no longer the product it was. It is owned by corporate media, private equity investors and others. THEY own the product, THEY will make the decisions. The CFP committee has and will continue to have nebulous criteria that they can manipulate so the most profitable matchups occur. I believe it is that simple. They have transformed college football into NFL lite and the completion of the systematic destruction is nigh.
Once the "product" is fundamentally altered and fully transformed into something else, you really do not have the product anymore. Then what? I am guessing they think the masses will just consume the pablum offered because they have no choice. Perhaps many will. The current mess with the playoffs is emblematic of the destruction of college football in general over the last few years. There will be no going back because profit rules everything it is allowed to rule. When we continue to acquiesce to the "new product" we give tacit approval to the dismantling process and the loss of things that made college football unique. We are left with silly and redundant headlines, talking heads playing along to get their cut of the pie, and encouragement of the fans to argue about it so as to stay "engaged".
All of this is somehow considered progress. Progress towards what though? I reckon I am between sad and frustrated watching everything that was good about college football be torn asunder. And yes, I can simply quit watching, and suspect I will at some point. Stuff like this is why we cannot have nice things. At least the Dawgs remain some ray of light in this soap opera. I guess that is what has kept some of us around this long. We are losing a good thing.
Center will definitely be an issue (if not a disaster) for UGA vs AL. In fact, the OL will be an issue for UGA w/or w/o Bobo. The obvious reasons begin with 5* DT James Smith now in his 3rd year and probably AL's best defender DT Tim Keenan. AL has depth and talent at LB and will be coming with pressure up the middle. AL is getting strong coverage play from its CB's. That means the UGA line will need to give GS time for WR's to get separation. Watching AL CB's be consistently all over opposing WR's makes me wonder why UGA CB's play with such a big cushion.
Have you been watching Tolliver's snaps from the shot gun? Erratic doesn't begin to describe. UGA will need its best OL play of the season to keep this game close.
45-13? Really? SMH In each of the 2 games vs UGA under DeBoer, AL has scored more than 13 in the 1st Q. If you didn't have such a long list of ridiculous takes I'd be thinking you say outrageous things just to troll.
"and Georgia got the nod just based on their strength of schedule and the wins that they have versus Texas Tech.”
Why thank you, oh esteemed committee, such a novel concept…quality wins and SOS played a part…I'll be darned…
Ding...ding…ding!!!! We have a Winner, ladies and gentlemen. This is not just the case with CFB, either.
Lol….if a system CAN be "rigged"....it will be. Unless, there is rigorous, transparent oversight.
Any committee that has to do it in the dark....with criteria thay invent on the spot.…well,....what do YOU think?
Coaches & Teams are at their mercy....should they find it advantageous to the Networks, to bestow a CFP sector to some undeserving program, based on the "eye test". Lol.…what a crock.
Fans know!!! And, they can't get around that. Sooner or later...the fans that pay the piper are gonna start revolting. Unless somebody gets their arms around this beast. Imo.5t5
