I broke them out into what I think are the current "clusters." The clusters are relevant insofar as they determine comparable teams. If the CFP thinks a team is not comparable, then there's no need to delve into conference title, HtH, or anything else.
Last week they said 1 to 5 were all pretty close. So, with two of those teams losing I think 1-3 are now a cluster. They also said 9-11 were close suggesting that they weren't with the Auburn/UGA/ND cluster.
The most straight-forward scenarios are straight-forward, so boring. The two scenarios that bear watching are if OSU beats Wisconsin and if TCU beats OU.
For the first, the question is then whether or not OSU jumps into Alabama's cluster and makes them comparable. That's a huge question, but it's really clear what you have to breakdown -- OSU v Alabama.
If TCU wins then it's a clusterfuck, IMO. TCU has 1 top 25 win. One. They'll have two if they beat OU. Oklahoma has 3 very good to good wins. So, if OU loses to TCU and Wisconsin wins, then it seems like it's a TCU vs Alabama vs USC (if they win) debate. Again, I'd side on taking TCU or USC b/c NO two teams, but I think Alabama will absolutely be in if that happens.
If TCU and OSU win then (a) can you really rank OU below OSU? and (b) it seems like an OSU/Alabama/OU/TCU/USC clusterfuck.
Anyway, the CFP has someone managed to mostly avoid entropy -- we should all be so fucking lucky. I tend to think the same thing happens this year with Wisconsin beating OSU and OU beating TCU. That's a clear 4.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
Todd Graham, HC at AzSU next on the list to get the AX. Announced this morning. The PAC-12 is now out three HCs (AzSU, Oregon State and UCLA).
Man, this is going to be an interesting HC hires season.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
Schiano’s an interesting hire. He’s a good coach at the college level, but he’s not exactly known for good attitude toward the press right? Obviously, if he wins it won’t matter but I thought they’d stay clear of somebody who might be actively combative toward the media.
