Good thing BC said that Woodson is a drunk and CCC climbs the largest mountain... oh, you mean a different high. Well, anyways, if we combine the two we might have a good basketball coach. Take Woodson's coaching prowess, work ethic, willingness to adapt and listen to assistants and combine that with Cignetti's basketball knowledge.... hmm, maybe not that combo. Woodson's basketball knowledge combined with Cignetti's coaching ability, work ethic, willingness to adapt and listen to assistants? That might work.

Do you think he's calling CCC a mountain climber? No, of course not. It's a metaphor, so is the part about Woodson.

Yeah, they and Texas have nice routes to the final. Oregon kind of got screwed. They have the hardest path of any of the top 4 seeds.

I'm enjoying reading the articles of 'Bama crying like little *******. Apparently, they're blaming their non-conference schedule since their solution is to change how they schedule that. A few things: Their non-con schedule wasn't very tough All 3 losses were in conference They lost to 2 6-6 teams They got blown out late in the season against one of those 6-6 teams

I wonder how the King of Indiana feels about the football team getting all the love and attention.

IU are ~1 TD dogs (+7.5) https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-playoff-odds-games-lines-texas-ohio-state-notre-dame-penn-state-sizable-home-favorites/

Yeah, no way they wanted to set that precedent. Plus, the CFP chair is Michigan AD Warde Manuel.

Their name isn't Indiana.

IU going to ND and Alabama is out. Worked out just the way I wanted. I like it.

Well, yes, they went from terrible to very good in a week. They were terrible when they lost to IU (how else can you explain losing to IU??) but very good when they beat OSU. Obviously. So no credit to IU for the win but a quality loss that doesn't really count as a loss for OSU.

Yeah, if you're ND or in the SEC losses don't count.

For sure. It's just that squeaking into the tournament with a high likelihood of getting blown out in the first weekend and pretty much no chance at making a run doesn't really excite me.

If ND gets the 5 seed, it'll further show that it's not so much who you lose to so much as when you lose. At least, if you are one of the big name schools. Losing at home to NIU and getting the 5 seed? Ridiculous if it happens and the chances it happens is high.

He has a personality?

On top of that, you need to be able to compete against those teams in order to make any sort of run in the tournament if you make it. Instead, the 2 times Woodson has gotten there we've been blown out early. I expect that will happen again if we make it this year although that's a big if.

Dang. It sure would have been funny to see PU lose their top choice to UCF.

The automatic byes are so dumb because of situations like this. 1 bye will go to teams that wouldn't have been in as an at large bid and the possibility is there for more than 1.

Oh, really? When I googled him I saw an article from yesterday saying he was who UCF was targeting. I guess that writer was misinformed.

UCF is going after him to. Which is a more attractive job, UCF or PU? I guess we'll find out.

I wanted them to lose, but lose close. Fail.

I think this will change. I think the current setup is only for this year and next, maybe even just this year (I don't remember which). A lot of people have seen the issues you posted here.

Sounds like Houston doesn't have much going offensively, either.

Yeah, I'm rooting for a close loss by SMU. If Penn State loses, I think ND jumps them. I would definitely like your scenarios of playing ND or PSU if it works out like you think.

I'm rooting for Georgia and PSU today since I don't want ND at #5. They don't deserve that. I think Oregon and/or Texas would be ranked ahead of them after a loss. I'm also rooting for Clemson to win so they knock Alabama out. Basically, **** both ND and Alabama.

ASU will be the B12's lone team in the CFP.
