it got me thinking about staying on top of changes. The leaders have amended the 6+6 model to 5+7, meaning top conference champions and highest at-larges will be determined by the CFB playoff committee. During my years at college, I faced similar challenges. One thing that really helped me was writing my paper with the help of https://www.writemypapers.org/. Their expert assistance allowed me to focus on my studies.

Whether it's navigating sports changes or academic pressures, having the right support makes all the difference.

Screw the $EC and the Big Turd

It's true that under this system the ACC likely wouldn't have had a second team in the playoff since 2017 (Miami getting in along with conference champ Clemson), though I would also note that if you go by committee rankings the ACC probably would have had two berths in 2016 and 2015 as well (Clemson and FSU in those years). So it's not impossible.

It does basically require that you post a 10-win season at least (or 9 wins in a lucky year) to get an at-large berth, so the overall point remains the same.

Have you seen who picks the at-large selections?

For the most part, these people have day jobs that don't involve looking at college football. And only 3 of the 13 members have any connection whatsoever with the West Coast. The +7 is going to be Notre Dame, 3 SEC schools, 2 B1G schools, and that one G5 school that went undefeated.

Nah, there won't be g-anything outside of the one AQ. Everything else is spot on.

Reasonable schedule notwithstanding, I just want to see some quality football. Play well and the wins and even playoffa will follow. We'll have an enormous number of changes to work through this year, which is the enemy of consistency.

The whole team and staff will have to adapt this season. Whether that throws us off kilter remains to be seen. In some ways it will be exciting to face a whole new slate of opponents. Looking forward to it.

Yeah. I feel like we have an 8-win team under normal circumstances. But next year won’t be normal.

Playoffs next two years? Please. Just give me more defense in the spring transfer portal and two 8 win seasons back to back.

Careful, our coach might get poached by tOSU for a coordinator position if that happens
