You are the dip shite who wants to hear that dip shite todd Ellis the most annoying play caller ever I liked when the dumbass said clemson was going down you guys were going up and.dabo won another one yeah great color commentator
I like Todd Ellis. He's a complete homer with a made for radio voice. There aren't very many guys like that left in CFB. They're all "professional". Used to be we all had a guy like that.

Yeah, the team with the bye has the advantage.
Could it be that maybe the results have something to do with the fact the committee doesn't take SoS into account in how they rank teams and thus teams are likely getting ranked higher than they should be? Highlighted by the fact that outside last nights game, the favorite to win the game has won them?
Nah, it's gotta be that playing a really tough team the week before your game is an advantage right?
I disagree.
OSU was ahead of Miami in every computer ranking taking SOS into account. But OSU was off for 25 days while Miami was off for 11 since their last game.
If we were talking about 1 week vs 2 weeks, you'd be 100% right. But that isn't what having a bye means in the cfb playoff.
Having a bye means you will be playing again after a 26 day break... 4 weeks. Your opponent will only have an 11 day break... a week and a half.
I'd have no issue if the playoffs started a week after conference championships and games were played each week. I'd ABSOLUTELY want a bye then. But if you tell me I'll have a month long break while my opponent would have played 10 days before... I'd have to think about it. I'd definitely take Ole Miss and Oregon's path (playing JMU or Tulane) over a month long wait. Maybe not Miami/A&M or Bama/OU's draw.

Texas lost to Ohio State and Florida. I'm pretty sure Texas Tech is no worse than equal to Texas.
OSU has 67 blue chip players.
Florida has 52 blue chip players.
While UF for example has a lot of flaws, lack of talent isn't one of them.
It is a flaw for Texas Tech though. They have 21 blue chips. Texas by comparison has 58.
They're good. But not national championship good.
They only have 21 blue chip players on their roster.
Compare that to UGA (70), Bama (64), Oregon (58) or Miami (45).
Ole Miss is below the blue chip ratio of 50%, but they still have 36 blue chips.
Depth of talent goes a long way.

Anyone who thinks it's better to not have a bye is stupid and often falls for confirmation bias.
No it hasn't.
Prior to the 12 team playoff, you might have a team who played in the CCG who had a game a week more recently than their opponent, but for the most part the two teams playing in any game had the same amount of layoff.
Now, we have teams who played 26 days ago... nearly 4 weeks... playing teams who played 12 days ago.
That's a pretty significant difference.
We're not talking about the NFL where the teams with byes are off 14 days compared to 7 for the team that had to play in the first round. That's a benefit to the bye team.
We're talking about the team with the bye being off for a month compared to 2 weeks for the team without the bye.
3 were in SEC championship games... so of course were in Atlanta.
The other was the NC win over Bama in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana.

Other than Texas the home wins were Long Island, miss state and FSU.
They lost to USF and Tennessee at home. Let’s not pretend UF was very good at home this year.

Maybe if NIL went live in 2040 instead of 2021...or if a UGA alumnus suddenly founds a multibillion $ startup
I think those days are gone, we're moving to NFL Jr. which is a horrible decision IMO
I don't think Kirby will have a run like Saban... but I think it will still be seen as a run.
UGA either made the 12 team playoff or would have made a 12 team playoff had it existed every year Smart has been at UGA other than his first.
I do think it will be a rare thing for UGA to NOT be in the playoff any year going forward. And while UGA won't win a national title every year and probably won't win any back to back again, they'll win their share (1-2 a decade) because they'll have a shot every season.
Would you be shocked if in 2046 (30 years of Kirby Smart) he retired with 20-25 playoff appearances and 5-7 national titles (given he's already got 5 playoff appearances and 2-3 national titles in 10 seasons, only 2 of which had 12 team playoffs)
Note: The 2-3 above is there since UGA is still alive this season for a title.

This is how it would have played out if we had all played each other.
Georgia
Texas
A&M Bama Ole Miss coin flip
Hard to say. UF beat Texas. Texas beat A&M. A&M beat UF.
Ole Miss beat UF too.
Florida beat FSU. FSU beat Bama. Bama beat UGA the first time they played. UGA beat UF.
Your "how it would have played out" is just your guess. How it did play out was that Bama lost to OU, UGA lost to Bama, A&M lost to Texas, Ole Miss lost to UGA. OU lost to Texas and Ole Miss. Texas lost to UGA and Florida. Vandy lost to Texas and Bama.
The only team that lost to a conference opponent with more than 2 losses in the conference out of the 1-2 loss teams in the SEC was Texas. It's why you aren't in the playoff. Handling your business against teams like Florida is part of the game. A&M handled UF. Ole Miss handled UF. UGA handled UF. Miami handled UF OOC. Even LSU and Tennessee handled UF. SOUTH FLORIDA handled UF.
Texas didn't.

Beat Ole Miss today.

You do know African Americans can be white, right? African is a nationality....not a race. Elon Musk is African for example. You have to be really simple minded to think African Americans are only blacks.
African is a nationality.
But if you're born in New Hampshire (which Day was), I don't think you get called "African American" even if your grandparents were from South Africa.
It's not like white people in South Africa came from there. They were Dutch before that.
Oh, and apparently Day traces his family roots back to the Puritans. So I don't think there's any African connection.

re: First Round bye
Posted by DawginSC on 1/1/26 at 12:33 am to Darth_Vader
It's not really a benefit. I'm not sure if it's a huge detriment either.
A bye to have 14 days before your next game is useful. But UGA is going to have a 26 day gap between their last game and their first playoff game. That's nearly 4 weeks.
It's a bit much to be helpful. Very different from the NFL.
An accelerated playoff would be great without any other changes.
Championship weekend would be December 6th.
First round games on December 13th.
2nd round games (with bye teams) on December 20th.
Semi-finals on December 27th
Finals on January 3rd... or thereabouts if you want to shift it to a Monday or Tuesday to avoid the NFL.
The bye would be useful to rest up but not a month long to get rusty.

Georgia does better with the gritty overachiever QBs like Stockton and Stetson Bennett. It’s more like Kirby‘s personality.
Carson heck was a 4 star ranked 234 as a recruit. Stockton was a 4 star ranked 110 as a recruit.
Stockton was a higher rated talent.
re: Team with the bye still doesn't have a playoff win.

Hopefully not past 7. I picked bama and Oregon to win. So I’m relying on UGA to break the streak.
Honestly, I don’t see the QB play as a huge factor. Stockton is a better rusher and turns th ball over less. Beck is a more prolific passer.
Would they? If they lost 2 conference games in the acc, I’d guess the heys lose at least 2 in the sec. And 7-2 in the sec this year puts you in a tie for 5th
re: I think Bama rolls tomorrow

Honestly the only bye team I think will win is UGA. And that might just be my bias talking
The committee doesnt select automatic qualifiers. The conferences set those rules. The committee only selects at large teams.
Well, UGA is pretty solid in rematches regardless of how the first game went.
Beat bama after losing first game this year.
Beat Texas after winning first game last year.
Beat Bama in 2021 after losing first game.
Beat AU in2017 after losing th first game.
Smart has proven to be pretty good at learning from the first matchup to do better in the second.
