College Football Chaos

 

Chaos - complete disorder and confusion

 

Chaos!  Ladies and Gentlemen, we are on the brink of it starting today in College Football.  As I have told people the last 48 hours, this is the most compelling weekend of College Football ever, period, end of story! 

 

Sit back and enjoy the long football weekend and we will see what we get from here with this potential chaos.  Three chaos scenarios to chew on: 

 

#1

Bama beats UGA,

FSU, Texas, Washington, Michigan win

 

#2

Bama beats UGA, Ducks beat Washington

FSU, Texas, Michigan win

 

#3

UGA beats Bama, Ducks beat UW

Texas wins, Michigan wins, FSU wins

 

What the committee is hoping for:

 

UGA wins, Washington wins, Michigan wins, FSU wins.

 

So many other scenarios if Michigan were to lose and FSU were to lose.  What about Ohio State, what do they need to happen?  In the last year of the post BCS era, we could have complete disorder and confusion everyone always wanted with this format!

 

I am not a fan of the upcoming 12 Team Playoff but the "Gang of 8" as I call them would be one of hell of playoff this year and in any year.  Even Dick Van Patton knew “Eight is Enough” but twelve it is starting in 2024. 

 

The Conference Championship Games, moving forward, to me become more relevant as they will be for seeding or for a team on the bubble to slip into the mix or out of the mix.  Hold on, I see the excitement intensifying, more people paying attention, all great things for CFB overall and the schools (just do not forget the players)! 

 

With one week to go, if it were 2024 only an Iowa upset of Michigan, Texas loss to OK St or a FL St loss, the 12 would almost be set.  Ole Miss & Penn State are on the outside looking in for a peek and here is still the Tulane & Liberty argument if both are undefeated.  I believe one gets in, if it were 2024 as I am not sure what the set-up is for next year (at this point to lazy look it up) so my scenario ends here. 

 

I will be glued to the TV starting Friday night for the weekend!  The most compelling weekend of college football in my lifetime and I am not going to miss the action.  My predictions:

 

UGA beats Bama

FSU beats Chickenheads

Oregon beat Washington

Texas beats OSU

Michigan beats Iowa

 

Who get’s left out?  Hard to leave out a conference champ but I believe Texas would be out in this scenario.  Fair?  Unjust?  What about Buckeye’s?    

 

One’s:

-      I did not see Kentucky beating U of L but I think that shows the weakness of the ACC in 2023.  Louisville dodged Clemson, UNC and FSU in regular season, doubt that happens again.  10 win Louisville is much like 10 win Kentucky the two years they were able to achieve that goal.  10 wins much easier in ACC though, undeniable but many will try. 

 

-       Myself, I believe Mark Stoops was going to Texas A&M.  Stoops is probably only one of a few coaches who would have stayed at Kentucky this long with the overall success he has had with the UK program.  Hands down, 2^nd greatest coach for the program.  In the end he is where he should be but he is still overpaid, IMO. 

 

-       My guess is many TVs were broken in Alabama on the punt drop and those people did not even see the end of the game.  What a crazy game and Pick 6 is no mas after that, canx it out.  #RollTide

 

-       Navy has a chance to finish 500 in their first-year post Ken.  Coach Newberry has stepped in and done a nice job.  Based on what I have read, there will be some new wrinkles added to the offense, but it will still be option based moving forward.  Keenan Reynolds would have had different numbers with some RPO mixed in but now I digress. 

 

-       Inequity and frustration drive PGA Tour veteran Chris Stroud to play LIV Golf qualifier, "The Tour doesn’t care about you if you’re not in the top 30," he said. - ….and there is that whole play better thing!

 

-      The PGA Tour and LIV have turned into a joke at this point.  What will be the final punch line when it is all said and done.  Sad that Phil did not have a sit down with Tiger before all this BS started and worked out exactly what to do to take care of the players in a way that still rewards great play.  I guess Phil needed “that” money more than he did continuing to play the PGA Tour and becoming legendary on the Champions Tour!
