We need an 8 team playoff.

There are what, 130 D1 teams? There isn't enough cross play between the P5 conference teams to really determine the only 4 teams that deserve to be in the playoffs.

Raiders blow them out.

How many potential NFL players does Alabama have?

The Raiders are all NFL players.

Yeah with an 8 team playoff UCF could earn their way to #6 or #7 seed and have an inspirational run before losing to Bama. Would be fun.

But I want to see a 6-team with 2 byes. 2 more teams but still every single regular season game matters.

I love 4. I don’t like the ideas of byes at all. Also don’t think a conference title if 8 teams should guarantee you a spot. Northwestern controls its destiny and is likely to have a 4th loss Saturday.

There are teams willing to schedule UCF. Its schedule is just way too light to get it into the top 4.

Temple is a 73. Beating them by 12 at home is a game score of 81.5. That's totally fine.

Clemson beat Cuse by 2 at home
LSU only beat La Tech by 17 at home
Notre Dame beat Ball State by 8, Vandy by 5 and Pitt by 5, all at home.


etc

Since Texas aTm joined the sec in 2012 the away team has won every single game between Auburn and aTm. I fully except that to continue tomorrow even though we are favored again for some reason. I hope I’m wrong because I would love nothing more than to bash Jimbo’s stupid face in. Finally get our revenge on him from 2013

Thinking about UCF playoff scenarios would be fun.

Tua's stat line: 550 pass yards, 6 TD

Etienne's state line: 340 rush yards, 4 TD

Problem is SEC could easily have 3-4 of the top 5-10 in the country, as it does this year.

Tthis year's Texas A&M or Auburn would win some of those conferences.

Temple is good? They lost to Villanova who is trash even by FCS standards. They haven't even scored a freakin' point in an FCS game since Oct. 6.

Ahh ok, so your irrational hatred of FSU is based on the 2013 game. Jimbo hatred I can understand, but FSU is just like any other shady southeastern team.

I hate fsu less now that jimbo is gone. Now they’re just sad. Auburn’s revenge would solely be on him, not fsu itself.

Yes. In adjusted YPP for the year they are a top 25 team (actually just ahead of Notre Dame). They are 55th in Sagarin but 40th in his "Recent" category. S&P+ has them at 34th and 15th in defense. I know they LOLost to Villanova and then were legit beaten by Buffalo (who's turned out to be better than expected, at least) but since then they pretty much did exactly what a good team should against a true grind of mediums; statistically dominating all 6 games against @Maryland, Tulsa, @Boston College, East Carolina, @Navy, and Cincy last week. 3 of those games had postgame win expectancies of 100% and the others were in the 70s. Even the 10 point loss @ BC was a 77% PGWE.

That is all really hard to do without being good. I did not have any expectations for them after the first two games, but it's week 10 and they've looked like a good team for the last 80% of the season straight now. @Houston and South Florida next and I think they should at least split that even with the injuries.

You may just want to go ahead and poach this coach before somebody beats you to it. Like imagine if 2018 FSU just stopped sucking after 2 games and got better as the season went on.

Even knowing nothing else about him other than the turnaround you explained I would snap take him over Taggart.

I think Taggart will be like Jimbo with FSU, he'll need to string together some amazing recruiting classes and luckbox a mega-elite QB to make any legit noise. Jimbo at least has an impressive track record coaching up QBs, I'm not sure what Willie has. I guess a super fast tempo offense, but nowadays the novelty is gone. The one bright spot for Willie is that when he first started coaching and his offenses were awful, he studied his arse off trying to learn other systems and greatly improved. So maybe he has enough hunger and room to improve. You can't really judge him too harshly b/c he probably has the worst OL situation for any P5 team, but his in-game coaching and the lack of discipline with the team both look very bleak.
