As it sits in ESPN’s (see Heather Dinnich’s) projections, I see three fairly comfortable wins in the first round (ND over Indiana, Texas over SMU, and Penn State over Clemson).

put all 3 in a hat and pull a name.  Someone going to get upset.  Top of college football has proven it’s not the top of prior years IMO.

There will be at least 1 upset.  Heck, refs will ensure that IMO.   Because in theory that was the whole point of expanding.  For those moments.

The refs don't have to, the top 12 this year is all average. There are no dominate teams.

I think Clemson can beat Penn State.

You don't think Oregon is dominate?

 

They are the betting favorites to win it all. I can't really comment on Oregon because I haven't watched a single full game of them all season.

Nah, I don't think they are.

That’s my take as well. I know it’s been done in the past, but I don’t like punishing teams for losing in a conference championship game, especially games that come down to the wire. 

Yeah you might get teams declining to play in their conference championship game to make sure they get in the playoffs. It’s just a bonus game that shouldn’t penalize either team.

ND in the playoffs has historically meant ND getting their asses beat down. I wouldn't be so sure of a comfortable ND win. LOL

Yup... It's actually insane if SMU misses the playoffs given their ranking last week. It'd be different if you were talking a team ranked right on the bubble going in... But playoffs should be about this season alone and not past glory. SMU should be in.

Why not?

SMU missed all of the ACC big boys this season and lost to Clemson. Texas don't currently have a ranked win and lost to Georgia's backup QB. Now that it's a crapshoot with regards to your Conference schedule, the Championship Game has to matter.

Kick 'em both out.

I don't think you should kick a team out that plays in its championship game if it was highly ranked going into it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
