Ragin Cajun CFP chances

[jaxmc1023]

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.

You're right. I hate when basic math gets in the way of a fantastic idea.

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???

Well odds and rankings can be two different things.

In order to get that “G5 slot”, the team has to win their conference. I think the odds makers probably have more faith in UL doing that than Tulane.

Now that said, if Tulane does win their conference, and doesn’t lose another game this season, then they’d likely get in ahead of a 12-1 SBC Champ Louisiana.

. . . . if Tulane does win their conference, and doesn’t lose another game this season, then they’d likely get in ahead of a 12-1 SBC Champ Louisiana.

All because espn decided that a noon kickoff in Cajun land was a good idea.

Come on, man! You know darn well that’s the only reason we lost that game. And on top of that, ESPN knew that was the only way we could lose so they did it just to screw us.

Maybe we should call those 444 lawyers to sue ESPN on behalf of the university and its fans.

[CajunNation]

I will never let this go if we win out.

By moving the kickoff, we lost home field advantage. No way we lose that game at night.

To deny this is asinine.

they just don’t think G5’s really add to an increased value being in the mix . . . A they want NO more than 1 in there but will live with 2

It’s preposterous to think making more regular season games 1000% more meaningful wouldn’t increase viewership of those games. 12 to 16 makes room for all conf champs without sacrificing any p4 team with a realistic chance to win. It is literally impossible that that scenario would not earn them more money.

sometimes egos just get in the way of sound reasoning . . . what they are doing as opposed to what you say they should do is very telling . . . I’m telling you . . .
