Yes. We must all pull for this.

That would be maximum chaos.

Looks like the pairings have been leaked. Miami out. No other real surprises.

Here’s hoping JMU and Tulane shut certain people up.

Welp that was wrong. Miami is in. I don’t mind because they beat ND head to head.

But listen for the criticism of JMU losing to Louisville… Guess who else lost to Louisville?

Alabama is the sacred cow of college football. Lose badly to FSU and UGA. Always get a pass.

And right on cue… Saban and Herbstreet saying JMU and Tulane don’t belong

I’m so sick of the gatekeeping.

They don’t belong. It’s easy to see. Need a break and then Murphy can play Robbinsville and Hough can play Myers Park in the correct playoffs

American Conference did great this year. It is on the rise, especially because NIL money has increased overall. The last thing these guys want to do is acknowledge the American being a P5. I am not saying we are a P5 now, but if we continue to improve (and that also means NIL), then that is a possibility in the future. AND, THESE GUYS DON’T WANT THAT!

There will never again be a P5 in football. The P4 have already seen to that.

THE PAC-12 NO longer holds autonomy status within the NCAA. It’s not part of the new power structure that governs the College Football Playoff. It has no guaranteed access to the top revenue streams or governance models that define the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC.

Yeah but the American has a legit chance to pull even with the Big 12 and the ACC if things keep progressing. And they don’t want that either. At least those 2 don’t.
