Z-Man PLEASE do not be the next Jimmy “The Greek”.
College Football Playoff needs top teams & equality.
Mason-Dixon format is unacceptable.
A better method:
Take the top 8 teams from the SEC and then four other teams. ACC Champion, Big Ten Champion and then best two remaining.
Would make way more sense than this Mason-Dixon proposal.
SEC! SEC! SEC! Mason-Dixon have NO place in CFP.
Hope you do not mind using word fan because I am a Big Ten fan however good news I have respect for SEC buddy.
I don’t care who you are a fan of.
I don’t care what you have respect for.
And I’m not your buddy.
SEC! SEC! SEC! I do care about you.
P.S. God bless & have a safe & happy Thanksgiving.
Good. I don’t want you to care about me.
You come here and spout nonsense in every thread.
Why would anyone care what you think?
Miami will not even be in ACC championship game, so they shouldn’t be the placeholder now.
Georgia Tech is the best team in the ACC.
cant wait for this south florida georgia banger. but at least Stankey makes another 20 mil off college kids, putting more wear and tear on them and shortening their nfl careers #kudos
Virginia and Louisville lose to bad teams at home and drop five spots. But BYU drops five spots for losing on the road to what should be a top five team and below 3 teams with inferior strength of record and no good wins. What a bunch of BS.
Don’t overlook the minor detail that your Cougars were absolutely poleaxed.
I suspect they would have dropped less had it been a semi-competitive game.
Buddy BYU would get fried by a vast majority of the teams that are ranked.
BE HAPPY BYU IS RANKED AT ALL
“BYU would get fried by a vast majority of the teams that are ranked.” LOL okay we already beat Utah who is obliterating everyone else and is better than everyone ranked below them. Texas and Oklahoma I think we would beat. Before you say otherwise don’t forget Texas went to overtime against Mississippi State and Kentucky, two bad teams, and Notre Dame at home would be winnable.
