SOS and SOR are factors and play into it as well.
Haters gonna hate, that's just the nature of things.

Fair point except it’s selectively applied. Most pundits said that BYU would have gotten a bid if they won the Big 12, then they were beaten solidly by TTU and fell out of the top 12. Hey I get it, if they were my team I’d be happy too.

Actually, I am surprised as anyone that Bama got in. I figured after that loss, the way they lost, they would've been on the edge at least.

JMU is right where I81 and I66 (from DC) intersect (Harrisonburg VA), very near the VA MD lines. You can see the stadium from the interstate.

This CFP setup is so screwed. Here is how I would fix it: Top 16, no byes, no group of 5, no automatic bids for conference champs, no independent consideration. The only argument would come from whether or not you are in top 16. The current 3 loss is better than 2 loss and other mental gymnastics is just crazy stupid.

Now you have 9 teams, yes TEAMS, that have opted out of bowl games: ND, Kansas State, Iowa State, Florida State, Auburn, UCF, Baylor, and Rutgers. I fully expect that list to grow. That cannot be sustained. I've even heard some non-bowl eligible teams are being courted for bowls and they are saying no.

Money and this CFP nonsense is breaking college football.

College Gameday has been at JMU several times. Most recently 2023. It was packed.

In a world of Pavias and Mendozas, be a Mendoza. If I am Vandy I'm having some serious buyers remorse at this point.

Buyer's remorse if only for the suit alone. Honestly, does no one help this MAN? I would say kid but he's not.

You do not wear a light tan summer suit with a black turtle neck and no socks to a business attire event, especially in December. Do we even need to address the Saturday Night Fever gold chains and entourage like he is part of the "Faces" walking into 2001 Odyssey? At least Tony Manero was cool.
