    What is it based on then?

    Maybe they could drop Charleston Southern for a home and home with a quality northern opponent.

    Ohio State, Michigan, notre dame, etc. all big time programs they could schedule home and home series.
    To reiterate this, Michigan has the following home and home series coming up in the next 12 years...

    Arkansas
    Virgina Tech
    Washington
    UCLA
    Oklahoma
    Texas

    They're also playing Colorado(Big 5) in 2016, but I'm not sure if they're going to Colorado AND Florida in Arlington in 2017. B1G has always been willing to play other Big5(6) conferences.

    Winner plays Ferris and that unreal QB. I see him playing TE in the NFL.

    Yeah, JVL is a beast. Not real happy the Ncaa put all 3 Gliac teams on the same side of the bracket.

    Louisville was an example.

    Dream scenario:
    FSU beats Florida last week of the season. Then Florida beats Bama in the SEC championship game.

    SEC shut out of the playoffs. I'd laugh my ass off.

    In that scenario, somehow Florida or someone random like LSU will be put in.

    Worst case scenario for each of the big 5. IMO,...

    P12
    Already have reached it. Need upsets to happen to get a team in and they need the conference champ to be Stanford. A win vs ND and P12 title along with the upsets, and they could be in.

    B1G
    OSU beats MSU
    Nebraska beats Iowa.
    UM beats OSU
    UM beats Iowa.

    SEC
    See Sherm's post

    ACC
    NC St beats UNC
    UNC beats Clemson

    The Big 12 I am stuck on. They won't have a 2 loss champion. I guess it would be OSU going undefeated and still not getting a team in.

    Notre Dame
    Any loss.

    Each of these scenarios are only based on no other upsets happening in any other conference. While not likely, it's not far fetched too.

    Is that how the B1G would shake out if it played out that way? MSU beat UM, OSU beats MSU, and UM beats OSU. The tie-breaker goes to UM?
    I would think OSU would have the tie-breaker since all 3 would have 1 division loss, but UM and MSU have 2 losses total. So OSU would have the better overall record with only 1 loss and get in the Big Championship game.

    It would be 2 way tie with UM/OSU. MSU already has a conference loss.

    LOL @ UM beating OSU. It will be a 30 point blow out. Michigan isn't "back".

    You're right...my bad. Brain wasn't working right. So OSU eliminates MSU by giving them their second conference loss. UM beats OSU...so they each have 1 conference loss, and then UM gets the tie-breaker because they have the head-to-head against OSU...even though they have a worse overall record. Do I have that right?

    Yes.

    If it were a 3 way tie, with Sparty not losing to Nebraska, it would come down to CFP ranking. Which we wouldn't even know until the Tuesday after the OSU/Michigan game.

    I wouldn't be shocked if PSU eliminates UM this week.

    Houston is set to pay Tom Herman $3 mil a year to keep there.

    I bet Herman gets more elsewhere. He's the hottest coach in America right now and some big time program will offer substantially more.

    Also gets a $1m bonus if they reach a NY6 bowl, and if a Major conference offers Houston a spot (Big 12) it's an immediate $5m.

    Some good news for ND... Jarron jones will be back for the post season after they thought he would be done for the year. Would be a huge boost to the d line

    You may have to wait a week longer than that.

    "The College Football Playoff selection committee is taking the necessary measures to ensure Navy's success doesn't complicate bowl season.The final College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings are scheduled to be released on Dec. 6, however, should Navy win the American Athletic Conference (AAC), the selection committee will wait until after the Army-Navy game on Dec. 12 to release all the rankings, according to a statement obtained by USA TODAY.
    The Midshipmen's final game of the season counts towards their yearly evaluation, but happens after Selection Sunday.
    If Navy wins the AAC, it will head to the conference championship game and join a group of six candidates for the Group of Five slot in the CFP New Year's Six. ..."
