    Whoever wins the SEC is still going to get a bye in the playoff and is probably still going to be considered the favorite, even if the Ducks are undefeated.

    If the Ducks go undefeated, won't they also get a bye?
    Forgive me, I am not as knowledgeable about the NCAA rules and details. It just feels like pieces are falling in place for them to win it all this year. They may not be the favorite on paper, but the vibe and trajectory of the season feels like it.

    It is hard to fathom the #1 team not being a favorite though.

    Yes, if Oregon wins out they will have a BYE. The 4 highest ranked conference winners receive a BYE.

    See now that is what I figured the rates would be? Obviously you have a sliding scale?

    Question: With Boettcher how did you get him to stop hitting after the whistle in practice?

    DL: There is a field goal post at the far far end of the practice fields and he would run around it... consistently.

    :lol:

    According to this article, the SEC is being dis-respected.

    https://www.espn.com/college-footba...ege-football-playoff-anger-index-week-12-2024

    College Football Playoff Anger Index: The SEC and five other teams are getting snubbed

    Yes, the SEC's dominance and depth seem obvious.

    So, of course, four of the top five teams in the committee's rankings this week are from the SEC.

    Wait, no, sorry about that. We're getting late word here that, in fact, it's the Big Ten with teams No. 1, 2, 4 and 5 in this week's rankings.

    Apparently nobody has watched their games because most of those teams look AWFUL.

    Georgia's QB is garbage.

    ESPN's "College GameDay" announced where it will be for Week 12 of the 2024 college football season.

    For the second straight week and the seventh time this season, the "GameDay" crew is heading to an SEC venue. Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee and, yes, Nick Saban, will be at Sanford Stadium in Athens for the Georgia Bulldogs' showdown with the Tennessee Volunteers.
