Quarterfinal No. 2: Texas Tech vs Oregon

If Tech loses…..the CFP Bye teams fall to 0-6??

may sound crazy, but could be that losing to SMU and UL worked out better for us. If we make the ACC championship game, no doubt we win and end up with a bye. Looks like that is a big negative in the playoffs. Miami had to be ready to play first round of playoffs but also got a good break between regular and postseason to get healthy.
 
About to be 0-6 on bye teams. Can't discount the importance of a JMU/Tulane warm up game. TTech looks the worst it has all season.

The Manning brothers are bad enough, but Saban is an absolute charisma vacuum. How is he in so many adverts? He has the screen presence of a toilet brush.
 
Goes to show you that the Portal can get you to the dance but leadership and team building, buying into the culture, takes it to the semis at least.

Exactly. One game can be a one-off outlier. 2 is a trend. But 6 straight is definitely a significant data point to be weary of.
