Detailing how the New, 12-Team Playoff Works | College Football's Newest Championship Format, CFP

the G5 Champion

[@MattBuild4]

@@kev614 The top 5 front runners for the G5 champion are: 1. Memphis, 2. Liberty, 3. Boise State, 4. Tulane, 5. Texas State. 1. Memphis plays FSU, UTSA and Tulane on the road. 2. Liberty has probably the easiest schedule but does have a road game at App State. 3. Boise State plays at Oregon, vs UH, vs WSU, vs Oregon State, at UNLV and vs Fresno State 4. Tulane plays vs KSU, at OU, and vs Memphis 5. Texas State plays UTSA and ASU at home Liberty has the easiest path, and TSU has the second easiest - but these teams likely MUST go undefeated to even have the possibility of making it. Its gonna be hard to claim that Louisville's schedule is clearly harder than Memphis, Tulane and Boise. If nobody goes undefeated and unless Memphis beats FSU, or Tulane beats OU - any MWC that wins 10+ games is probably gonna be in it, cuz the conference continues to played yoked OOC schedules and just for fun now Oregon State and Washington State are considered an additional OOC game (so nearly every MWC team plays at least 5 OOC games) - these are in addition to playing: - Oregon, Michigan, Utah, USC, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, UH, Cincinatti, Baylor, Auburn, Wisconsin, Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA, A&M, Syracuse, UNC, Stanford, Cal, BYU, Washington, Michigan State, SMU, Ole Miss, and Minnesota - almost all of which are road games....

Actually they wouldnt have until 2011, because they constantly got screwed on rankings.... 2002 the BCS didnt even rank them (AP had them at #12; Coaches had them at #18) 2004 they were ranked #7 - 6th highest ranked champion 2006 they were ranked #9 - 6th highest ranked champion 2008 they were ranked #8 - 6th highest ranked champion 2009 they were ranked #6 - 5th highest ranked champion 2010 they were ranked #7 - 6th highest ranked champion 2011 they were ranked #6 - they were the 4th highest ranked champion. Given how bad the BCS was at ranking G5 teams they very well could have been #12 in a 12 team playoff in almost all of these years - in which case the #5 team would have such a mindf&ck of a game.

[@michaelwall3393]

Boise State most likely will lose on the road at Georgia Southern. They are better than many think. Plus Clay Helton is their coach. I think Boise State starts off 0-2 but finish with a 9-3 record or 8-4. If two conference games were flipped, I would say Boise could lose first two games but not bad in either and then run the table to a 10-2 mark. But I don’t think they go unscathed in conference play. They are not going to be 8-6 like last season but 11-1 or 12-0 or 10-2 is not realistic this upcoming season or extremely attainable. If they win at Georgia Southern but get crushed by Oregon, they could go 10-2 and win conference championship and maybe get the G5 playoff spot. But there are 3-4 conference games where 1-loss is inevitable and two or three possible; who is why I say no worse than 8-4 and unless playoff game, win their bowl game.

[@calebblaser1055]

😂😂😂 I’ll take that bet all day long. They will win by 3 TDs or more at Georgia Southern. I can’t wait for every single sports reports to shit their pants at how good BSU’s offense this year, if their defense makes significant improvements they will go undefeated.

The 5 seed will be the top “at large” and that would almost certainly be a conference title game loser for the SEC or B10. With divisions thankfully being gone , conference titles will be “best 2” so it’s unlikely a 3rd best team would jump the runner up for a 5 seed.

So to not allow 5 conferences from playing for a championship in a league they literally play in is textbook monopolistic behavior.

The 12 team CFP, transfer portal, NIL, and Conference Realignment are ruining college football.

Some people wanted a 12 team playoff

This is so delusional lmaooo

What's the point of a G5 team getting in? Pointless IMO.

[@SurferRC]

Better than a third or fourth place conference team getting in tbh

[@MattBuild4]

Do you have any idea the amount of major bowls GARBAGE P5 teams stole from the G5 the last 20 years?

[@mikemccabe8015]

Everyone seems to forget that 2 years ago Tulane, the highest ranked G5 champion went into a NY6 bowl and beat the Heisman winner QB. Crazy shit happens which is why you gotta play the game

[@al9685]

The 5 seed is not a “sweet spot”. You’re setting yourself up to play the 1 seed

[@cindymikolajczyk9936]

Cheatigan will not be in the 12 team playoffs..😂😂😂

[@jessesewell7922]

They need to get rid of all automatic bids. All that does is guaranty participation from crap teams in crap conferences. I don’t care who wins the ACC, they will still suck and get curb stomped

[@mikekatura6657]

It could be a bad year for other conferences this year sec and big 10; r going to chew each other up big 12 will beat themselves acc has an unbalanced schedule so has to say but acc could find a third team in this year

[@1876Oregon]

Oregon would want to be the 6 seed. That’s if ohio state and UGA are the 1 & 2 seeds, since UGA and OSU would choose the east coast quarter final games, leaving the west coast games for the 5 and 6 seeds. And the other reason UO would want to be the 6 seed is because they would likely get the cotton bowl giving them a better chance than having to play Ohio state or UGA in Florida in the Orange Bowl..
