2024-2025 College Football Playoff

[Mavric]

This is nothing new for those that actually pay attention.

As in, not SEC homers and the media, who just runs excuses out there.

2024 - 8-6 (counting Ole Miss) in bowl games

2023 - 5-4

2022 - 7-5

2021 - 6-8

2020 - 7-2 *COVID

2019 - 8-2

2018 - 6-6

2017 - 5-6

2016 - 6-7

So one non-COVID year out of the last nine have they been anything more than basically .500.  This year they are 1-1 against non-Power 4 teams and 1-4 against the B1G.

They are solid.  But they are not nearly what a lot of people make them out to be.

I hope it’s aOSU vs. PSU.

Ole Miss is fun to watch but Kiffen always plays the unlikeable card. Always grumpy win or lose. 

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

It's funny seeing all the complaints by the SEC about the committee & officials.  Good Lord, its not their fault in any way that they lose!

I saw someone post the rules stating that this is still a live ball and should have counted.

I believe that post was shown to be a fabrication.

I saw someone post the rules stating that this is still a live ball and should have counted. 

It was a joke - the ball can't touch a player or the ground before going through the goal posts.

That post was screenshotting ChatGPT telling them the rules, in which the AI was wrong

I didn’t believe the post so that’s why I didn’t post it. 

It was a joke - the ball can't touch a player or the ground before going through the goal posts.  

I would think this is the case. Thanks for clarifying.

Just a point of clarification but the ball CAN touch a defensive player and go through the uprights for a successful field goal attempt.

Good catch - should have said offensive player.

 

[Archy1221]

Sorry wasn’t trying to nitpick you on that, just thought it was an important clarification.

Agreed- no stress

DK LINES indicate 2 pretty good games.

ND -1.5 vs PSU
tOSU -5.5 vs Texas

Draft Kings also has line indication for Championship Games possibilities.  

tOSU -5.5 vs Texas (semi)

tOSU -6.5 vs ND (NCG)
tOSU -7 vs PSU (NCG)

If Texas beats Ohio State (semi)

TX -2.5 vs ND (NCG)
Texas -3 vs PSU (NCG)

Interesting note in case no one is aware, but next year, the first game Texas plays is at Ohio State (their first game too).  

After that, tOSU plays no one until Penn State and finally Michigan.  Should have an easy path once again.

Meanwhile, this schedule ought to keep the college football crazies from screaming "They don't play anyone!" 

2025 Notre Dame Schedule (needs to schedule a 12th game)

08/30 - at Miami (FL) - ACC
09/13 - Texas A&M - SEC
09/20 - Purdue - B1G
09/27 - at Arkansas - SEC
10/04 - Boise State - MWC
10/18 - USC - B1G
11/08 - Navy -IND
TBA - NC State - ACC
TBA - Syracuse- ACC
TBA - at Pitt- ACC
TBA - at Boston College- ACC

That's 9 games against P3 conference teams (1 more than SEC does).

* in comparison, Ohio State plays Purdue and Grambling, Ohio, Rutgers, Northwestern.
