Ragin Cajun CFP chances

[tdncz]

Honestly, the most likely best case scenario moving forward is winning out, winning the SBC on our home field, then having the chance to beat another P5 in some bowl game. I doubt Boise will lose another game, and even then it probably won't be enough to leapfrog ahead of them.

A 13-1 record and Top 25 ranking, combined with a bowl win against a good P5 team, would mean the world for us next season. That would be a good silver medal for us if the playoffs don't work out.

Yep: 91% sure this is our best case scenario

I'd consider that possibly our best season ever..

Ranked
Barely miss playoff
Two P4 wins - one in a decent bowl game
DIDNT lose by 50 to Ohio State
NOT the team everyone uses as an example to remove the G5 bid
Door open to market the hell out of "next year"

Add 1 more thought......

13-1....Timing to have a new stadium couldn't be better. Marketing creativity needs to be 100% unleashed..... Don't USL it.

Look at 4 of the last 5 National Championship games, all blow outs.

Make the CFP regardless of the result of the game. The fricken CFP payout alone is $4M to the program! One appearance is 10% of our budget.

I’m not sure why this is even a question. Why would you not want to get into the inaugural 12 team playoff? It sets a precedent going forward for a program. This is a no brainer.

there are no viable reasons to not want to be in the CFP, any CFP . . .

The First year of a 12 team CFP and Cajuns are in contention.

If that isn't prime time mktg material, I dont know what is.

So it says the conference gets $4 million but it doesn't tell the conference how to split it, you would think the school making the playoff would get more than the other schools. Does anyone know how SBC would split it?

I always thought it was split after expenses of the team. Just like bowl games. So just spend it all and share nothing

I don't think it's a question, it's just out of our hands right now. All we can do is win and let the rest take care of itself.

No not for this

4. Each conference whose team participates in the College Football Playoff will receive $3 million to cover expenses for each round

Conference sets what it believes are reasonable expenses.... $X for the game.
