word I hear is 1v4 in New Orleans and 2v3 in Rose Bowl.
1and 4 being eastern teams and 2nd3 western teams.
Let's hope that is the reasoning
No Tap -- 16.
When I was a kid NCAA basketball was 16 teams all conference champions. IF not mistaken the ACC put the kibosh to that early 70's because they had two teams better (on paper) than all the other contestants. Grew to 32 then 64. Now at 65 because the teams 66-70 beefed
Im good with whatever number makes everyone agree no one else had a claim that didn't get a shot.Originally Posted by 57Brave

So, TCU has 1 loss and has played a softer schedule, why are they number 3 again?

Here is a good write-up on the situation with UAB:
UAB, Bama, and UAH are part of the University of Alabama system, ruled by a shared Board of Trustees.
The head of the board of trustees is Paul Bryant Jr, and he hates UAB. This man has heavy influence in the state. Many of the board of trustees have ties to this man as his employees, effectively acting as puppets.
Paul Bryant Jr used his power to fire the old president at UAB and elect this guy Roy Watts, also with ties to Bryant.
Almost immediately, the BoT commissioned a study on whether or not to keep football. Watts uses the study to drop football within his first year in office.
The conspiracy:
Bryant had Roy Watts installed as UAB's president for the sole purpose of destroying their undergrad programs. The first part of that puzzle was ending UAB football, as this has a rippling effect through the rest of UAB athletics, the university, as well as stakeholders in the community at large. Rumor now is that the history department will close and that materials engineering will be relocated to UA at Tuscaloosa.
Theory is that Roy Watts also has a golden parachute in order to cover his bases.
The evidence:
UAB had not scheduled any games beyond 2016 while also having current coach Bill Clark's contract ending the same season. UAB athletics stopped accepting donations for the football program. This set off alarm bells.
Former coach Garrick McGee admitted via twitter direct message last week to having advanced knowledge of UAB's plans to drop football before he suddenly resigned after last season. This means that the football feasibility study was commissioned AFTER the decision had already been made to drop football without any kind of study, essentially to use as talking points and a scapegoat, which is what was done by Watts today.
No attempts were made to deal with any stakeholders which may be affected by dropping football. No attempts were made to hype UAB football in order to drum up support. The obvious indifference about others' opinions suggests the plan was to be adhered to at all costs. UAB was not in a bad position compared to other schools financially, especially after this year.

They very easily could have lost to Florida...
Yeah, if they didn't score more points than them.

What is the object of sport anymore?
In youth it is that everyone has fun and gets to play.
The cliche of everyone gets a trophy
In CFB it is about what Condoleezza Rice thinks
In pro it is about "The Shield"
In all it is about

Any chance Les Miles takes Michigan?
He's had the chance before, don't see why he will leave now.

What law did he break now?
I remember reading a headline years ago when Michigan was replacing Carr: "Michigan wants a new Carr with Les Miles."
Thought that was great.
