Yeah they can. Why do you think they have a stupid G5 bid? So they won’t be sued for being a monopoly.

LSU will have to 11/1 to remove any factor the committee could have. At 10-2, there’d probably be enough other 10-2 teams to plausibly exclude.

The CFP needs to be very careful with what they say next, because their independence will be called into question.

It is very normal to voice your displeasure, respect the court orders, and then let the college sports act pass so the CFP, NCAA, and Conferences have actual power again.

Everyone agrees this sucks, but digging your heels in is only going to expose everything.

You’re thinking too deep bud. The CFP will do what Disney tells them to do, Disney has no morals or integrity they only care about profit which every profitable team will have these “Pro players” on their team so they can’t do shite but allow it this season.

Go beg the committee to treat LSU differently than Ole Miss even though Chambliss is ineligible.

Chambliss staying at Ole Miss says a lot about Kiffin.

You might find out the CFP doesn't have the power you think they do. CFP will be careful what they say next.

Pretty much this whole board is broken. They thought this was a chance to slam dunk on LSU, but the smarter posters are starting to realize how much bigger this is.

Let’s be honest here.



Chambliss sued to get an extra year because he would get paid more to play at Ole Miss than play in the NFL.

Exactly, except I will go further. The CFP’s very existence is directly tied to the NCAA. It does not exist without the NCAA. Their independence is smoke and mirrors when it comes to penalizing a program/player by any metric closely associated with these court cases.

Don’t get it twisted, if it goes far enough, it would be the NCAA that would be the ones cutting ties with the CFP.

No other conference has their teams suing to get a TRO to play pro players. Only LSU is doing that
Post the link showing that LSU is suing someone.

It's incredible. We've been discussing this topic for 6 days and you STILL don't even know the basics. Do you know who is suing who and why?

Yeah that's a realistic, rational approach. Exclude teams who did nothing wrong. On what basis are you excluding them genius

You better hope it turns into a popularity contest this year and not record-based.
