Tell me how we can make the CFP

[peaygolf]

Austin Peay > MTSU>Nevada>Wyoming>San Jose St>Hawaii>Stanford>Florida St>Alabama>Georgia.

Peay needs to be in the CFP

I personally think its impossible and for sure is not happening but let’s humor this astronomical long shot scenario…

So how does it happen?

7 teams have all their starters get busted for betting on their own games and shaving points and are suspended . That may do it.

 

[WiseOlVol]

We beat #12 Vandy
#17 Texas loses to #3 A&M
#15 Miami loss to # 23 Pittsburgh
UCF beats # 9 BYU
Kansas beats Utah


All very possible

OhioS beats Michigan

 

[ochocinco]

Stanford has to beat Notre Dame. And there’s zero chance that happens. They are horrible. The rest is reasonably possible , half even probable. BYU another long long shot to lose.

 

[volhall16]

I can tell you one thing. Michigan will beat Ohio State.

Not happening this year. No chance.

 

[volhall16]

Let’s just beat Vanderbilt like we always do then go on to beat Michigan in the Citrud bowl to finish out the year strong with a bit of momentum.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Let’s just beat Vanderbilt like we always do then go on to beat Michigan in the Citrud bowl to finish out the year strong with a bit of momentum.

Exactly. Vandy first and foremost.

Then Michigan, USC, or whatever other ESPN darling.

I personally think its impossible and for sure is not happening but let’s humor this astronomical long shot scenario…

So how does it happen?

Win at least 10-12 regular season games. Next year, that is. Actually, maybe 9 with 16 teams next year

 

[molsen81]

Not happening this year. No chance.

That’s what they said last year.

 

[volhall16]

That’s what they said last year.

Care to place a friendly wager?

I like the CFP, but can't stand the selection committee.

Why not just have all conference champions and runner ups in the CFP.

 

[Carp]

Assuming we're 17th like we are on ESPN, we need every team in front of us from 11-16 to lose.

 

[Carp]

That’s what they said last year.

Who said that and when? The lowest we were ranked in CFP rankings last year was 11th in week 12. Every other week we were 8th or 7th.

 

[MontyPython]

I personally think its impossible and for sure is not happening but let’s humor this astronomical long shot scenario…

So how does it happen?

2026 rolls around.

 

[Tennman]

We're not. I'm sorry, the polls have kept us down, not letting us creep back up toward the top 12.

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Not happening and shouldn't happen. We are ranked 18th and there might be 3 teams ahead of us that we can beat. Still doesn't get us to the playoffs.

 

[molsen81]

Who said that and when? The lowest we were ranked in CFP rankings last year was 11th in week 12. Every other week we were 8th or 7th.

Ohio State always says they're going to beat Michigan....and they don't.

 

[molsen81]

Care to place a friendly wager?

A kabillion.

 

[ftsandersvol]

You would need the following to happen and cause Chaos:

Tennessee blows the absolute brakes off Vandy.

Bama loses Iron Bowl
Oklahoma loses to LSU
BYU and Tech and Utah to all lose their final regular season games

You’d then need Miami and Virginia to lose theirs.

Stanford to beat Notre Dame

Oh and Michigan to lose to Ohio State.

While we wouldn’t hold the head to head against a 3 loss Bama and Oklahoma,
I don’t think they’d matter if you had several teams in a pool of 3 losses.

All of that happens and you would maybe have a chance at the conversation but likely still left out.

 

[tennesseeduke]

I personally think its impossible and for sure is not happening but let’s humor this astronomical long shot scenario…

So how does it happen?

Okay next season

 

[tennesseeduke]

This just in, hell froze over!

I like the CFP, but can't stand the selection committee.

Why not just have all conference champions and runner ups in the CFP.

I like some variation of that. If you're not in the running for your conference title then i have no need to see your ass in a championship playoff. I would like to see the committee use the BCS rankings to pick the top 12 teams.. although I think 8 is enough. Much after that, you're playing too many football games in one year, in my opinion.

 

[volfan2024]

Some of the teams ahead of us are ranked as though they are taking all AP classes and their GPA is compared to GPA's of students taking general study classes in high school. Every team needs to have a number based on their schedule team wins and losses. Its not set up that way, that's exactly why we have three losses to top ten teams and are punished in the polls for it.

 

[modernVol]

We beat #12 Vandy
#17 Texas loses to #3 A&M
#15 Miami loss to # 23 Pittsburgh
UCF beats # 9 BYU
Kansas beats Utah


All very possible

Still wouldn't be enough. 5 conference champions get auto bids. So Notre Dame would need to lose ugly to Stanford

 

[modernVol]

Feel like next year they will expand to 16. And it will be a similar feeling to how the rule changes this year would have given us a home playoff game last year
