Final Four: Who it's going to be, who is should be.
Dec 20, 2020, 7:34 AM
|

We all know what they will say at noon today: Bama, Clemson, OSU, ND. Why? Eye$ on $creen$.
But here's APM's list of who it SHOULD be:
Bama - duh
Clemson - duh
TAMU - better wins than any other contender not named Bama or Clemson
Cincy or Coastal (APM'd go Coastal b/c of the BYU win) - they are undefeated AND won when facing their biggest tests, unlike ND, who shat the bed and whose only big win was at home against a depleted side in double OT.
More of APM's logic: Can Cincy or Coastal beat Bama? No. But neither can ND. Bama will kill ND (and APM will enjoy seeing that). So might as well reward a team that deserves it more.
APM also agrees with the "6 wins isn't enough" logic re: OSU. Sure, they're good and probably one of the best. But it is not fair to have a team that has only played 6 games, especially in a season with as much wear and tear on the teams as this one, to have the privilege of playing teams that have been out there since the jump battling each other AND COVID. So put TAMU in over OSU. TAMU also has better wins and deserves it more.

ND beat Clemson and UNC. TaM beat Florida and Auburn?

A depleted Clemson team at home. UNC is a pretender.

A good win, sure. But don't you think Florida would beat UNC? And wouldn't Auburn (probably) too?

Also, could ND ever beat Clemson if we weren't missing 5 starters, with 4 of those being great players too?

Here’s the thing about the CFP rankings
Dec 20, 2020, 9:52 AM

They don’t release the initial one until week 8 because they “need a body of work to evaluate”
No team that doesn’t have a body of work that at least matches the initial criteria should even be considered.
Teams get left out due to circumstances beyond their control all the time. Starting QB gets the flu and can’t play or plays sick and they lose a game the should have won. Entire d-line gets food poisoning, etc.

Going to be:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio St
4. Notre Dame
Should be:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Ohio St
Selfishly want it to be:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Texas A&M
4. Ohio St
We would dickdown A&M by 4 touchdowns and I think Ohio St may be the only team other than us who might be able to beat Bama, otherwise Bama will coast into the natty

I honestly think Oklahoma is better than tOSU or ND or TaM

but they won't get in.
tOSU would get smashed by Bama imo. And we should handle them.
For us to beat Bama, no turnovers and make those third down plays. Must put pressure on Jones. It will be a ROY game for sure.
