Why is it more impressive to beat them at a neutral site over beating them in a true road game?

Right on 78 at the moment. Army can win 2 of 3 to get to 6-7, which puts them into that next group of eligible teams.

I was trying to sound like a ridiculous SEC football fan there. It clearly was a swing and a miss 😂.

Joe Burrow when targeting Justin Jefferson in the middle of the field, 10+ yards downfield:

24-for-24, 535 yards, 5 TDs

I really hope the PAC-12 champ gets on instead of a one loss SEC team, provided the PAC-12 champ only has one loss.

The only way the SEC should get two teams in is if UGA somehow beats LSU in the conference title game.

The more criteria they put in place for the playoff, the better.

They could start with, win your division in your conference.

Why don’t we have a thread dedicated to the CFP rankings?
