*****Official College Football Thread - 2015 Edition*****

The Pac-12 just knocked themselves out of the playoff.

Hilarious scenario: FSU beats Florida, Florida beats Alabama. No 1 loss teams in Pac12 or SEC.

More fun: Stanford beats Notre Dame, North Carolina beats Clemson, Nebraska beats Iowa, Michigan beats Ohio State.

They pick the 4 teams out of a hat of 15 teams and whoever gets picked goes.

And the other 11 files a class action law suit, thus preventing any play off this year

 
Florida scored first in OT but missed the XP. FAU 1st & goal.

South Carolina had a 93 yd TD pass, 4th & 7, under a minute, called back for a false start. I looked at the reply highlight and didn't see anyone move. They didn't make the 1st down and lost to Citadel.

 
Crap, that was the best shot to keep the SEC out of the playoffs. Man, it was just pouring on that last set of downs too, then let up as soon as FAU missed 4th down.

 
Ohio State didn't deserve a playoff spot even if they had won. Coaches didn't show up, players didn't show up. Complete ineptitude.

But special shout out to their linebackers. Wow, was that horrible, non-existent play by those guys.

 
We may be looking at a 5-7 team making a bowl game this year. My brief analysis:

80 bowl spots this year

71 teams with 6 wins already

18 teams still able to reach 6 wins (12 5-6 teams, 5 4-6 teams, and 1 5-5 team), 39 7+ loss teams

Seeing as these 18 teams currently have losing records it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect more than half of them to lose another game, especially when five of them have two games remaining. If this happens and at least 10 of the 18 teams lose then there will be just 79 6+ win teams, making way for the first 5-7 team to make a bowl game.

None of these 18 teams play each other so in theory all 18 could lose and cause several 5-7 teams to make it to bowls. FWIW it seems that if 5-7 teams are needed that they will be given bids based on APR ranking. Nebraska has the best APR of any team that may potentially finish 5-7, followed by Vanderbilt and Rutgers.
