CFP Thread

Only 97.2%?  For me I think it is >99%.  I can only think of one team that I'd actually pull for Miami against. 

I got a lot of hate for Baylor and Penn State, you know, the rapey schools.

It's a social media infographic, you want fact-checking too???

FWIW, I added up the appearances and at least that checks out.  There are 336 appearances listed and 1998-2025 is 28 years and 28*12=336.  

• tOSU, OU, Bama, and UGA each have more than half.  Unsurprisingly, Ohio State is the most consistent with 22 hypothetical appearances in 28 years.  That is just shy of 80% or almost four every five years.  
• Oregon, Florida, LSU, Penn State, Clemson, FSU, ND, TX, USC, KSU, and M are all over 1/3 so better than one appearance every 3 years.  
• UW is better than 1/4.  
• Auburn, Boise, Miami, and VaTech would be averaging one appearance every 4 years.

Ok... So it looks like IU finished #12 in the AP poll in 2020. That's the only other year I can figure justifies them getting in. 

So we have yet another thing to blame on COVID.

That's right, they changed the rules so that OSU would get into the Big Ten CCG instead of them.

Great, so now it gives me another reason to be mad at the B1G and at OSU. 

Had IU been in--and presumably lost--the CCG, they wouldn't have been top-12 and wouldn't be included in this BS infographic. 

[Brutus Buckeye]

They still would have been included, since the graphic includes the 2s and 1s.

Do all four of the potential appearances belong to Solich? Or did Pelini sneak one in there somewhere?

Bo Pelini may have had 2009 and 2010, where he achieved back-to-back 10-win seasons, won the Big 12 North title in both years

[OrangeAfroMan]

Wow, makes Florida look relevant.

Talk about an all time goof firing.
10 win season, running the option.  What UNL fan wouldn't give their first born for that now?

[OrangeAfroMan]

IU currently has a 31.5 MOV for the season, against a good schedule.  That's all-time great.
Higher than '20 Bama, '21 UGA, '19 LSU, '72 USC, and '71 Nebraska
About equal to '01 Miami '91 Warshington, and '18 Clemson
Behind '05 Texas and '95 Nebraska

Miami has a big mountain to climb on Monday.

Fun fact:
Indiana started the year with a 13-point win over Old Dominion, being +2 in turnovers and having a punt return TD.

I assume they’re using final CFP rankings or BCS rankings, and Indiana was 11th in that. 

also would have had two G5 teams, granted they would’ve been pretty fun and decent ones.

Got out gained by 1.4 yards per play.
