The SEC could finish with multiple teams at 10-2 that don't make the conference title game. Seems they could be better off not going to the conference title game.

The self-penalty that savvy Jack negotiated falls apart if teams are not penalized for a conference title game loss.

The Irish could finish ranked 4th. Who would have thought ? - murph92675 - 10:31am 11/11/24 (18) [View All]

  - I saw somewhere the committee will not penalize teams that lose that game - MarkHarman - 3:07pm 11/11/24
    - How the winner of the conference games dominate them should mean a lot. I still don't know how - THEISMANCARR - 6:28pm 11/11/24
    - That is going to be difficult to pull off depending on what "not penalize" means - D2 - 4:16pm 11/11/24
    - every team should be given credit or criticism for every game.... [NT] - KWIRISH - 3:10pm 11/11/24

        100%. If an SEC gets blown out in the confence game vs. loses by 1 pt....for example... [NT] - KWIRISH - 4:03pm 11/11/24
  - A team should never be better off missing the conf title game - ndphysics - 11:35am 11/11/24
    - Agree if you are only considering teams from their own conference making it to the playoffs [NT] - ndinga - 2:14pm 11/12/24
      - But the lose should definitely effect how they are ranked v teams outside their conf [NT] - ndinga - 2:16pm 11/12/24
    - Agree somewhat, but in what scenario does anyone ever - Chrisb - 2:45pm 11/11/24
      - The simple solution is no conf title games but that’s not going to happen [NT] - ndphysics - 3:10pm 11/11/24
        Agreed, but in essence that is what you're already doing if the ""loss"" doesn't count in CCG - Chrisb - 3:52pm 11/11/24
        But what about the MONEY!?!?!?!?! [NT] - ndphysics - 7:13am 11/12/24
        Life is about decisions...if they care about the money that much, then they gotta accept dropping - Chrisb - 8:37am 11/12/24
    - Philosophically, I agree, however the super conferences mean a lot of teams don't play each other - iairishcheeks - 12:08pm 11/11/24
- Alabama could jump us with 2 top 10 wins and an SEC title. [NT] - ndphysics - 11:08am 11/11/24
  - If they win the SEC, jumping us in the rankings is irrelevant [NT] - Irish_Demon - 11:30am 11/11/24
