I’m obviously biased but I think there is a legit question as to whether SMU stays in the CFP if they lose to Clemson. They would have ZERO wins against teams that finished the season ranked at that point and two losses. Bama has already jumped Miami for basically the same reason. 

With that said, I’m not teams should be penalized if they lose in a conference championship game, as it relates to being in the CFP or not. Seeding may be affected, but other than an absolute dismantling, I can’t see penalizing someone for an extra game that they are playing only because they performed so well in the regular season.

Remember when Auburn was penalized for losing in the SEC championship game after beating Bama to get into the game then Bama went to the playoffs after Auburn lost in the game Bama didn't qualify for?

Clemson is in ok, but they'd much rather see Bama in over the losing SMU, SC or a Miami. I know it's about money, but there are a number of 2 loss teams that deserve it more than Bama does. It is what it is though. The CFP will never be like March Madness with its cinderallas and upsets. It'll always be SEC/Big 10 heavy with the other Power guys rounding it out plus one "other school" like Boise St every single damn year. But what really screws it up is Notre Dame. They don't play in a title game so they'll almost always have an "automatic bid" yearly with up to 2 losses. Stop being a fancy bitch and just go ACC football, you Irish dolts.

Based on what the committee has outlined and said….there shouldn’t be room to move a team that doesn’t play up.  Now you can move a team down by losing the championship but they have said you shouldn’t really be penalized for making it and losing.  So winners can go up.  SMU is at 8….so that would be a pretty big ding to drop them below Indiana, Bama, etc (who shouldn’t move)

I think Boise State might get dinged out in a loss.   But it would be essentially a one spot drop.  SMU would have a bigger drop.  

but who knows, they want Bama in. Bama got way more eyeballs interested than these small schools

ND has the worse loss off all these teams against Northern Illinois and they are probably going to be gifted the coveted 5 seed. An easy path to the semifinal.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
