Title Attainable (split)

If the Cajuns ran the table this season in football would they not make the playoff?

Not a chance. Even with wins over Alabama and Miss St.

So basically it would only result as a detriment to Alabama...even if they won the SEC? One would have to imagine if a mid-major beat the SEC champ, while going undefeated, would be in.

Would not happen. Ohio State is catching hell for losing to Purdue. That might be enough for them to be out even with help.

It's that whole circular problem. When the G5 beats Alabama, what is more likely to happen is that the committee will drop Alabama out of the playoff consideration (same for Georgia) because they will say that they were not what they were cracked up to be rather than bring that G5 into the playoff fold.

Y'all do understand that the only loss Alabama would have is to us. They're still in the top 5 or better. Now Moo State would indeed get spanked. They're 4th Place SEC West which is still way better than Nebraska. We're also talking about a Cajun team with 23 wins. They're right at the door waiting, hoping for someone to slip.

Houston was there a few years back and blew everything losing to a mediocre Louisville.

We would have to have back to back undefeated years. Then a third undefeated season with at least three top 15 teams in OOC and run the table to have a shot.

None of that is happening.

History says that there has not been a situation close to this ever happen in the past - a G5 beating a No 1 P5 remotely in a situation similarly situated to Alabama this year. Chances of that happening are virtually nil. And if it happens, the consequences will more than likely hurt the P5 by taking them out of the playoff ranks than help the G5 get into the playoff ranks. JMO based on history.

If even a situation remotely similar to your hypothetical is available, I would reconsider.

No shiete Sherlock and Alabama and Georgia would be out.

Until the playoff numbers are expanded and a guaranteed G5 is slotted, no G5 will be playing for a national championship. Under the current playoff system, any team with a G5 loss will be disqualified from consideration in a 4 team playoff. It just is what it is.

As C4L noted: Boise beat UGA, Va Tech, OU and Oregon twice during that time frame when they were losing no games and didn't make it in.

So what y’all saying isn’t that G5 can be good enough but are excluded. Instead they’re just not good enough. Now I got it, so what’s the beaching about then?

What I'm saying is the the committee will decide that the P5 is not what it was cracked up to be rather than the G5 is better than what we thought. Thus taking the P5 out of contention as opposed to moving the G5 into contention.

I dont even think that would get the Cajuns into top 10. The system is stacked against G5 teams.

So a thread about a possible softball transfer has evolved into a P5 vs G5 football playoff discussion.

Interesting.

This.

I was hoping to see more news about the subject thread, but instead got this.

It's not the remotest bit interesting. But this is why we are grateful, at times, that Turbine cares enough to remove/transfer such superfluous nonsense elsewhere.
