If you want to scrutinize my predicted CFP brackets from yesterday, let me emphasize that I’m terrible at the Fabris Pool and I don’t profess to be a prognosticator.
Regardless, one thing that I said would be the funniest thing ever really happened:
I find it hard to believe that the Committee is going to catapult Duke over James Madison, but let’s face it, it’s a flatulent and made up, as one of our commenters likes to always say.
Given that a 7-5 team just became the conference champ, coupled with the ass whipping Kirby inflicted on Alabama last night…what might happen now?
For one, the Committee is likely going to scramble to find an ACC rep. My guess is that it’s easier to let Miami in than magically place a five loss team over a 12-1 team, regardless of affiliation.
Second, I’m going to guess they’ll find some formula to keep Ohio State at 2 and likewise drop an SEC team from the brackets. Will it be Alabama or Oklahoma? Although Alabama lost in the head to head, the previously stated promise that a conference championship loss won’t hurt would look bad if they don’t deliver by letting tOSU slide down slightly based on the head to head and somehow keep Bama in, but will have to make room to keep Notre Dame and insert Miami. Miami goes to 9, Notre Dame to 8, and Alabama at 10.
Sooner, Later? I don’t know, but crazier things have happened, amirite? Let’s see how it plays out, shall we? What do you think will happen?
OSU 2, Bama out. Then a flag is thrown for excessive sense. Bama in.
jp: when you say flagellant, are you sure you don’t mean flatulent? I grok what you’re doing but flagellant is a noun, i.e. a flagellant.
Sorry, and speaking of flatulent, you know how anal I can get. 🙂
Yes..it’s flatulent.
And the whole CFP selection process proves it.
This stupid committee has painted itself into a corner.

Yep, there it is.
Hog, it’s all made up and flagellant according to the saying on the Senator’s site. I’m sure it was a slip of the tongue by the player that said it but it was funny as hell to me and I use it all the time.
Ole Miss beat Tulane by 30 points early in the year. They do not belong, but will be in.
They will put Ohio Srate at # 2. They don’t have a hair on their ass.
Bama is out, praise the lord.
They pick Notre Dame over Miami because they have no clue.
The hairless nuts drop to 4. I love the notre dame, Miami, bama box the committee is in.
I watched a good bit of the World’s Smallest Outdoor Cocktail Party last night. I don’t think either one of those teams should be in the playoffs. And the crowd, woof. It just means less.
In the ACC you can do that!
Trust the committee……..to favor the b10. My guess Georgia gets the number two seed. Getting the winner of the A&M/Bama game so the SEC continues to eat its own.
This. No way they set up an all SEC final but will salivate over IU v tOSu rematch.
Duke, ACC Champions. Last time Duke won the ACC was 1989 when they shared it with, guess who, Virginia. And the Coach was, everybody say it together “The ole ball-sack”. Goes to show you how bad the ACC is this year.
IU, UGA, TT, tOSU. Gives them a shot for all B1G final or UGA v tOSU rematch which is the highest rating potential. Miami in so ACC gets a revenue share, bama out for FSU, OU and UGA blowout losses plus no 5 team in playoff hidden rule.
