Week 5 CFP Implications: Two-Bid SEC Takes a Hit, Two-Bid ACC Potential

I have already spoken about the chaos in the Big 12 just about every week so far. Things are not looking good for the conference, and Oklahoma’s victory over Texas doesn’t help. Oklahoma State is still undefeated, and there’s a decent chance that either Iowa State or Kansas State finishes with one loss. The conference …

Week 4 CFP Eliminator: So Many Variables

As I mentioned before, this is a strange year for the Eliminator. It’s a strange year for everything, sure, but the Eliminator is no exception. Group of 5 eliminations aren’t coming at their usual more steady pace (the Mountain West hasn’t even started playing), and the Power 5 conferences are starting in such different times …

Week 4 CFP Implications: Chaos and structural issues

The Big 12 was the first conference to really jump into play, and things have not worked out so well for the conference. Aside from a few canceled games on the COVID front, the Big 12 is seeing chaos and misfortune about. It started early, with nonconference losses to Sun Belt teams. That followed with …

Week 3 CFP Implications: Big 12 Woes and Impending Chaos

It was obvious when they started playing two weeks ago that there were potential pitfalls for the Big 12. With a disastrous Week 1 that saw bad losses from three teams in the conference, plus a near-loss by Texas Tech to a bad FCS team, the conference could little afford upsets during the season–especially if …

Week 3 CFP Eliminator: Slow Week, but Goodbye MAC

As I mentioned last week, this is a strange year for the Eliminator. It’s a strange year for everything, sure, but the Eliminator is no exception. Usually we see plenty of eliminations each week at this point in the season since Group of 5 teams are playing their nonconference games. This year, though, most Power …

Week 2 CFP Eliminator: When to eliminate P5 teams

Eliminating Power Five teams early in the season is always a question for me. Sure, it’s a mostly irrelevant question–we’re usually pretty sure which P5 teams won’t be winning out. Still, my principle here at the Eliminator remains the same: losses will come when they come, and I have no need to assume them. I …

Week 2 CFP Implications: How to Deal with Canceled Games

One good thing about having a season where no one knows what will happen and nothing is set in stone is that, well, nothing is set in stone. Over the first two full weeks (plus a slightly expanded “Week 0”) of the college football season, more than a dozen games have been postponed or canceled, …

Week 1 CFP Eliminator: We don’t even know what we don’t know

Welcome to the first edition of what will be the strangest year ever for my CFP Eliminator. I would like to once again thank my friends here at All Sports Discussion for hosting it this year. The goal is simple: We are going to count down every single FBS team that remains in contention for …

Week 1 CFP Implications: Ranked Teams Dilemma and the Big 12 Disaster

First of all, I would like to thank the great people here at All Sports Discussion for hosting my column for the time being. 2020 is a crazy time for lots of people, including writers. While I am currently unable to write at my usual outlets, I am more than happy to discuss everything CFP-related …

ACC is not quite at ‘Clemson or bust’ for CFP, but it’s getting close

Following Week 2 is way too early to make grand pronouncements about the College Football Playoff. It’s a long season (yet somehow always too short), and just about anything can happen. Ohio State Buckeye fans still love to mock Clay Travis for declaring the Big Ten “out of the Playoff” after Week 2 in 2014, …

How do Nonconference Schedules Help (or Hurt) the ACC’s CFP Contenders?

It’s weird to talk about the ACC’s Playoff contenders this year. Mostly because there is one team that is so far out ahead of the league that it’s considered a Playoff near-lock, something we have yet to see in the CFP era. Different betting markets have the line on Clemson reaching the CFP anywhere from …
