Zero ranked opponents. Two unranked losses. No argument for them to get in.

I wasn't lobbying for the Canes to get in (although obviously we should be in - two road losses by a combined 9 points).

I just wanted others to feel pain.

Yeah, I'm for leaving out the bubble teams with very obvious flaws. Milroe is just too limited as a passer to win three games against playoff caliber teams. Just not gonna happen. I'd love to see Cam Ward against a playoff caliber team but let's be real, Miami's D is gonna give up 40+ and they're gonna lose so why bother?

Absolutely agree concerning Milroe. When he is bad, he is REALLY bad, and you just never know which Milroe will show up.

Good Bama is better than SMU but bad Bama laid a few eggs that cost them

Agree. Good Bama could win the playoffs, but you can’t reward good Bama with the way bad Bama showed up in games against far lesser opponents.

It’s remarkable Miami is even ranked as high as they are…that schedule is cupcake city

CFP can’t decide what a conference championships mean or don’t mean. Clemson beats a #8 SMU to be ACC champs…..move up only 1 spot from 17 to 16.   Miami at stays at 13.   

I think what the committee really is saying is don’t play anyone outside your conference and titles are largely meaningless.  Final record and then head to head are the focus points (SEC teams just out show that)

What the committee is saying (lower case C, cos fug 'em) is that if you don't play in the SEC or the BIG10 you'd better win your Conference because otherwise they'll find every excuse to omit you.

Great point.  I think if SMU played Bama’s schedule they aren’t in this discussion.

Both App State and Unc fired their coaches,  so both my college teams are pretty much toast for the year.

UNC football has always been toast, sometimes it just takes a few games to accept it but the inevitable always happens. That's my experience as a lifelong Heels fan.

If App has known this NIL stuff was coming I don't think they would've made the jump up to D1. I'd rather contend for championships at the D1AA level than be an also ran hoping to land in a toilet bowl in D1. They just don't have the resources to compete in the NIL era.

I said that going into the season. The twelve team field is gonna put an end to meaningful out of conference games other than long standing rivalry games and it might just take a couple of ill-timed losses in those costing playoff spots to bring some of those to an end.

I think head to head is overpriortized this year in CFP.  They wouldn’t jump SC over Bama or Ole Miss…and should have.  Then Clemson beats a #8 SMU team to win a title and they can’t move them up and value a title because of the SC head to head.  

AP seems to have done better in that section minus where they got Bama.  They should be behind SC like Ole Miss.  They got Miami rightfully behind Clemson.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
