Week 6 CFP Eliminator: Let’s Talk about Auburn

We have the most eliminations of any week so far this year, as we say goodbye to 15 teams’ Playoff chances after Week 6. Eliminations should slow as we remain at the top contenders, but it would not surprise me if we stagnate at a final 15 or so for most of November. Of course, …

Week 11 CFP Eliminator: It’s Finally Time to Talk about Cincinnati

We’ve been waiting seven years for this, but we are finally ready to discuss a Group of 5 school as a serious Playoff contender. And by “serious contender” I don’t just mean that a team has a chance. By “serious contender,” I mean that the Cincinnati Bearcats have the inside track to one of the …

Week 7 CFP Eliminator: Pac 12 Down to One

Last week, I mentioned how I kept Texas A&M alive until they were clearly eliminated. After all, they had Alabama up next, and that would solve things either way. The same principle applied to Purdue this week. Once again, the Boilermakers stayed alive until they picked up a third loss or until the season passed …

Week 6 CFP Eliminator: Texas A&M Stays Alive

Last week, I mentioned a great example of my methodology here. I never assume a team will lose a game. In fact, when I’m deciding whether to eliminate a team, I always look at what the resume could be if the team wins out. If a team runs the table and still doesn’t have a …

Week 5 CFP Eliminator: Chaos Slows Eliminations

Could 2021 end up as a relatively chalk-like football season? Sure. But it’s definitely not looking like it will. So what does that mean for the Eliminator? Well, for starters, it means that we’re slowing down with eliminations of two-loss Power 4 teams. Yes, I say Power 4, because the Pac 12 isn’t quite in …

Week 4 CFP Eliminator: Clemson Crashes

Is it dishonest to use Clemson in the title if I’m not actually eliminating them this week? I don’t think so. Clemson, after all, will be the focus of our discussion. As I’ll look at in more detail in the charts, there are a whole bunch of two-loss Power 5 teams I’m not eliminating yet. …

Selection Sunday CFP Eliminator and Bubble Watch: Who’s In?

It seems fitting that 2020 will leave us with the most chaotic Selection Sunday of the CFP era. Twice in the CFP era, we’ve had a three-team “bubble” coming out of Conference Championship weekend. In 2014, the fourth spot could have gone to any one of Ohio State, Baylor, or TCU. In 2017, Alabama, Ohio …

QUESTION: How impressive was Clemson’s win over Texas A&M?  Clemson’s win over Texas A&M on Saturday wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t beautiful or elegant or overwhelmingly brilliant. It didn’t have to be.
