Ragin Cajun CFP chances

[cajun4life]

I don’t understand how greedy ESPN/powers that be don’t see the obvious money making potential behind a playoff where all conf champs get in. It makes many more of the games they show all season meaningful. 16 teams. All conf champs get in, 7 at large. Fair to all conferences and almost no chance a team with an actual chance to win the title gets left out. AND so many more meaningful games late in the season to show all week.

It would marginalize the coattail riders of the SEC, Big 10, ACC and Big 12. As it stands now the Cajuns have a better chance at making the playoffs that 60% of the P4 programs.

Since the CFP announced their Top 25 on Tuesday I’ve seen a CFP odds graphic a handful of times and Louisiana is 3rd in the odds at 7% behind Boise State 74% and Army 21%. What’s crazy is this graphic has UNLV listed 4th also at 7% but Tulane is nowhere listed. This tells me the CFP committee has the Cajuns ahead of Tulane. Army will no doubt lose to Notre Dame and possibly North Texas this Saturday. If my assumption is correct, we just need Boise to stub its toe in the MW CCG vs. anyone not named UNLV and for us to win out. Think about that!

This graphic was on X and also came up on the ESPN Halftime show during last night’s MACtion.

Am I taking crazy pills?!

...Was it crazy that we were in the top 25 3 years ago for 2 years? So good and not good at times…..college football….and after good the Nola Saint coach is gone!

Not crazy at all, Boom. I just assumed the CFP would have the odds of Tulane higher than Louisiana. The AP poll has Tulane ranked slightly higher so naturally that would give them better odds, therefore they should have been listed. I’m very curious what the committee is thinking. Maybe I’m misinterpreting the whole thing???

Just keep winning

Not sure what they showed on ESPN last night but every graphic I have been seeing has showed Tulane ahead of us.

Just for fun as well, the current sports betting odds attached

According to the All State CFP predictor, if Cajuns win out, they have a 10% chance.

Why not follow the FCS model? 10 FBS conference champs and 14 at large bids.

The predicted bracket follows the format of the FCS playoffs with 24 teams. There are 10 automatic bids this year and 14 at-large bids. Eight of these teams will be seeded and receive a first-round bye. Another eight teams will be seeded 9-16 for the first time this fall.

Whatever small school gets that spot, they're going to catch hell from the entire country..

"Oh so Texas gets basically a first round bye against UL-L, while Penn St plays Alabama!?"

It will be interesting to see which school gets that spot, because I personally believe it will be the last for the non-P2 faction..

16 teams... all conference champions plus six at large with top 4 seeds getting first round bye.

4 byes with 16 teams wouldnt work.
