After waaay overthinking things on my 10 hour drives this past week, I came to realize how unfair UCF's absence is to the playoff experts.  They aren't provided an opportunity to be proven right.  Until UCF loses on the field, it's all speculation.

So I ask thee, Official Playoff Selection Committee, do what is fair for everyone involved: give an undefeated (for two years!) team - G5 or whatever - a spot in your precious playoff.

Well if UCF gets shalacked by LSU this could all be a mute point but if they somehow beat LSU without Milton, it’s going to be a storyline that will not go away.

That is after beating Auburn last year in a bowl game

They will just keep raising the bar. Nothing will ever be good enough if you aren't already in the club...

Right...they had Milton last year for that game. They will not have him this year, and I’m sure the blue blood programs are quite sick of UCF so LSU is taking this game seriously while Auburn probably wasn’t.

Yep. Look at Boise State. Beat OU in an epic game, yet still in the MWC and still on the outside looking in. 

I guess you could say they got a bit of a call up - since they were in the WAC at the time and moved up to the MWC a few years later.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
