re: Ms. State

5-7 teams don’t deserve bowls, but State is a deserving 5-7 team. The conference getting five teams on the playoff actually gave us a decent bowl game.

How many people will venture out to Charlotte on a cold Friday night in January to watch Miss State play Wake Forest?
Very few. Wake Forest is 8-4 but just doesn't travel well. State will get a few fans, mainly ones that live within a couple hours of Charlotte.
I will never forget the 2014 Orange Bowl experience. Thinking it was a big time New Years 6 game then paying $10 for tickets only to find better tickets on the ground outside the game.
Bowls suck now. It's time for them to go.

I’m hearing that the Birmingham Bowl cannot even find willing teams to come play.
Birmingham has Georgia Southern but can't find them an opponent.
They are going to have to petition to let a 4-8 UAB play if they can't find a willing 5-7 team.

Agreed.
When the playoffs expand to 24, it's over for the bowls.
I have a friend who is on the Mobile, Alabama bowl committee. He told me those games don't even come close to break even and are a pain for locals.
They got Southwest Louisiana vs. Delaware this year. They might sell dozens of tickets.

Which was a good matchup. Surprised they didn’t take it.

Notre Dame did not want any of Mississippi State in the Dukes Mayo Bowl
I started a thread below. It will be glorious.

Texas headed to Citrus vs. Michigan
Vanderbilt vs Iowa in Reliaquest
Tennessee vs Illinois in Music City
LSU vs Houston in Texas
Missouri vs ACC/Notre Dame in Gator
Mississippi State vs ACC/Notre Dame in Dukes Mayo
My guess is Notre Dame is in the Gator and Clemson or NC State in the Mayo

What’s the thinking for Kansas St and ISU? Most coaches will tell you those extra practices are crucial
Both lost their coaches and just don't want to deal with it.
Players opting out of bowl games was the beginning of the end. Now teams are opting out.
Tupelo had scored with 20 seconds left to take the lead.

Mississippi State might end up in a bowl game

Kansas State and Iowa State have opted out of bowls. State is 3rd in the APR amongst 5-7 teams. If Rice or UCF decline, or if one more team declines, State will have the opportunity to play in a bowl game.
First Responder Bowl, Independence Bowl or Armed Forces Bowl likely options.

Miami was at least in that five way tie. ACC needs to change their tiebreaker. If head to head can’t break a tie you have to get your best team in.
The tweak needs to be that a G5 needs to be in the top 20 of a major poll and have a win over a Power 4 team.
OR
We need to expand and let all conference champions in.
Kennesaw, Western Michigan, Boise State all could beat Tulane and James Madison.

I liked him as DC with Leach. He put up good defenses with players who weren't highly rated.
Our defensive talent is better now than any team Arnett coached. Could be good if he stays out off the Wendy's drive thru.

Here's my dumb meaningless opinion.
1. Big Ten Champion is the No. 1 seed
2. If Georgia wins, Georgia is the No. 2 seed.
If Alabama and Texas Tech win, Texas Tech is the No. 2 seed
3. If Texas Tech wins, they will be the No. 3 seed
4. Could see Alabama here if Alabama wins.
5. I think Oregon is locked into the 5 regardless of what happens.
6. If Georgia wins, Ole Miss is locked into the 6. If Alabama wins, Georgia lands here and everyone moves down.

Oxford is the perfect small Southern town. Its wealthy but not unattainable, it has great public schools and the people there love the university.
Baton Rouge is a capital city with a crime problem. LSU shares Baton Rouge with one of the worst colleges in America.

State bumped up their schedule and has paid for it. Early season losses to two Big 12 teams, an ACC team and a good mid major have them sitting at 5-4.
They have a road game at Utah and an upcoming home game against Memphis that are must wins.
