College Football College Football Playoff Rankings Expansion Top 12 Projection After Penultimate Top 25

This just got a whole lot spicier.

The Rose Bowl has to give a Yay or Nay on whether or not it wants to be a part of the College Football Playoff expansion idea. No big deal, just about a half a billion dollars are on the line if the CFP can go to 12 teams for the 2024 season.

What would happen if the expanded College Football Playoff was this year?

After the penultimate College Football Playoff rankings were released, an expanded playoff would look like this …

Top Four Teams That Would Be Left Out
 Washington (Pac-12), Florida State (ACC), LSU (SEC), Oregon State (Pac 12)

Here’s how it’s going to work (this is from the College Football Playoff):

1. The 12 teams will be the six conference champions ranked highest by the selection committee (no minimum ranking requirement), plus the six highest-ranked teams not included among the six highest-ranked conference champions.

2. The ranking of the teams will continue to be done by a selection committee whose size, composition, and method of selection will remain substantially unchanged.

3. The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and each will receive a first-round bye.

4. The other eight teams will play in the first round with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded institution (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and No. 9 at No. 8.

5. The model allows for first-round games to be played on either the second or third weekend in December in a way that best accommodates the format and the participating teams, with at least 12 days between the conference championship games and the first-round games. The Management Committee would make the final determination of the calendar.

6. Subject to reaching agreement with bowls, the four quarterfinal games and two Playoff Semifinal games would be played in bowls on a rotating basis.

7. The national championship game will continue to be played at a neutral site.

8. Subject to reaching agreement with bowls, the four highest-ranked conference champions will be assigned to quarterfinals bowls on selection day in ranking order, and in consideration of current contract bowl relationships if those bowls are selected for the rotation. For example, if the Pac-12 champion were ranked #1, the Big Ten champion were ranked #3, and the Rose Bowl were a quarterfinal site, the Pac-12 champion would be assigned to the Rose Bowl and the Big Ten champion would be assigned elsewhere.

9. With the four highest-ranked champions assigned to quarterfinal games in bowls, the opponent from first-round game winners will be assigned by the selection committee based on the bracket.

10. The higher seeds would receive preferential placement in the Playoff Semifinal games.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
