Potential final ranking prognostication

It's not been disclosed but he's been playing injured for weeks now.

I would have started Mack yesterday, honestly. Not because Ty isn't better, but because I don't think Ty is better when he can't throw well.

It seems like not disclosing that info could hurt playoff consideration. It would explain why his play declined the second half of the season. I don’t think it would have been viewed the same as losing your starter for the playoffs

And disclosing it could also hurt playoff potential…

Yeah I see it both ways. Obviously kept FSU out a few years ago. I do think there is a difference in playing injured with the chance to heal before the playoffs versus the starter being completely out. I think in this instance it would help explain some of the offenses drop off from early in the season

This is what I scream at my computer every single time I see a post about benching Ty. People keep thinking that Mack and Russell would be saviors, but they still gotta play behind the same Oline. Sure they looked great against ULM and east illinois state tech school for the blind, but throwing them to the wolves at this juncture is just dumb.

Two things can be true at once. The o line play is bad and will be no matter who is QB. Ty Simpson, regardless of the o line play, is playing poorly at QB.

We have no deep threat potential with Ty at QB, and really haven’t all year. Now Ty is struggling with short and intermediate routes when he does have time. He has become a liability. He was an asset for the majority of the year, but not now.

If it was up to me, which thank god it isn’t, I would use the next 11+ days to get Mack ready. We could beat Oklahoma with Simpson, but definitely not Indiana. Why not roll the dice with Mack against OU and then have him with a start under his belt against Indiana.

I can see next year this getting changed to where the G5 teams must be ranked at a certain level before they are considered.

Notre Dame is #11 and should be in the playoff.

The fact we've got JMU at Oregon and Tulane at Ole Miss.......instead of BYU at Oregon and Notre Dame at Ole Miss.......is a joke.

James Madison is +50000 to win it all.
Tulane is +60000 to win it all.

That should tell you all you need to know.

I wonder what the odds would be for byu or notre dame. Probably not great, but better than 50k or 60k

Final rankings:

#20 Tulane
#24 James Madison

No one will even watch this games. I don't care that they won their conferences. These conferences don't play the same game as the SEC and Big 10.

Inclusion for the sake of inclusion is a joke. These teams would be lucky to be .500 ball clubs in a power conference.

Notre Dame would destroy both these teams.

People being upset Bama made it in over Notre Dame should instead be upset that teams like Tulane and JMU make it in just because.

DEI is still alive in the CFP...

Maybe ND should join their conference then...

Should just join the ACC, they'd have still been out in the current system though.

Would have probably lost 3-4 games as well...

The College Football Playoff (CFP) now uses a 12-team format: the five highest-ranked conference champions get automatic bids, plus the next seven highest-ranked teams overall for wild cards, with no conference limits.
