XII Championship ASU v Iowa St Saturday 12/7 10a

[SeattleCardinal]

Not sure what this means for ASU, given that SMU kept it close. But an SMU win would have been worse. We will see the field tomorrow morning!

I have to believe this will lift ASU into the bye. There's no way they can give it to either Clemson or SMU.

There’s literally no way they can give it to SMU, but they could still screw ASU and give it to Clemson. But that would be an absolute sham to give a 3 loss team who’s ranked below ASU that last bye.

ASU has a great chance of getting a bye.

There is no doubt they are in.

They should be but since its the ncaa I wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid.

Alabama even being in contention is a joke

I guess we don't know what bribes may be being passed around. But to give Clemson, or even worse, Penn St a Bye over ASU or Boise immediately makes the new format bullfeces.

Such an exciting college football day. Could ASU play in the Fiesta Bowl?

Bama will make it over SMU.. the money always wins

Penn st can't get a bye. The bye can only be given to conference winners

The entire town will be on fire

Ummm... SMU does have money. Booster paid $200 million to cover their move to the ACC.

I don’t think they can give Penn St, a bye. The first four with byes have to be conference champions… I think.

Bama was always making it. It's going to be Miami or SMU. I think Miami edges in

I don't see how any team that lost their final game could possibly get one of the byes. Nor should any three loss team. So that eliminates SMU, Penn State, Clemson, Texas, Ohio State.

I know it doesn't guarantee CFP won't pull some shenanigans, but just stating what the proper outcome should be.

Bye is only for conference championship. Notre Dame or Penn St as the 5 seed is going to be a real look.

Yeah, that's correct. Also, why Notre Dame can't get a bye.

Miami is out regardless. They were ranked 12 and with Clemson winning they are out

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Also Notre Dame has to figure if they are good with being a forever 5-10 seed. You want to play for a bye, join a conference

We shall see

Yup. This tournament set up may finally force ND to change… or they’ll throw a buttload of money at the NCAA to somehow fix that “flaw” like they did the BCS.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I will say as a Methodist, I don't think Southern Methodist University has a chance against the U. Maybe I get proven wrong but I think SMU is out and Miami is in

They are probably fine with it since they can keep all the money they make from bowl games, merchandise, tv contract deals, etc

If they join a conference they have to share

The college football playoff has already made Conference Championship Day feel a little like the Madness.

Win and you’re in games for the Boise’s and ASU’s and Clemson pulling off getting in also.

Why it took college football so long to do this is one of sports greatest mysteries.

Texas will be 5 seed imo

I watched multiple games today. I legit don't care about the Chik Fil A bowl

I'm not sure how Miami (ranked 12) would beat out Alabama (rank 11) without either of them playing a game. Alabama would be more likely

Truthfully neither should be in but I never doubt NCAA's stupidity.
