Sounds interesting. Will they go back to a North-South divisional arrangement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was so much bluster about Harbaugh having his day in court. And they punt before the hearing? So, if I'm keeping score correctly, 1 assistant coach was fired and 1 head coach has been suspended (including the biggest game on the schedule) and willingly punted his appeal. But nothing wrong happened, there's nothing to see here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this has anything to do with stadium financing, which is a different set of issues, but NW making the commitment to the upgraded venue got me wondering - maybe one of the unintended consequences of opening up outside sources of direct funding to players (NIL et al) is that it may be a beginning of a trend where the money available to a program like NW gets uncoupled from the resource base of their smallish university and instead flows more directly from the size of the media market it can command. If an effect like that turned out to real, it would tend to level the playing field between schools as the extremes of the big school/small school - urban/rural distribution, like say like PSU and NW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 One of the committee's things they take into account is key injuries and how that effects the team going forward and with FSU losing their starting QB they could get dinged by the committee if they win ugly these next two games. Like even if they finish undefeated if their qb play looks like crap these next two games they may keep them out just cause they won't feel they would be able to beat any of the other playoff teams. That was one of the reasons Tennessee finished below Alabama last year despite beating them head to head, the committee said that Tennessee isn't the same team now as they were with Hendon Hooker. Considering though FSU would be undefeated it would be hard to keep them out over a 1 loss team but it's something worth monitoring if their QB does struggle the next couple weeks.

MIguy Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) If Alabama beats Georgia and the other three undefeated teams stay that way, is Alabama the #4 seed or #3? Michigan would move up to #1 and I'd really hate to have to face Alabama in the first round. Edit: I just realized, the NCAA hates us, of course they'd leave Alabama 4th even if they felt that FSU was the weaker team due to losing their QB.
