When EPSN expands the playoff (and make no mistake ESPN runs college football) it won't be to help anybody but the teams with national fanbases. If they could So Cal, ND, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan AND Ohio State, Florida/FSU/Miami and somone else, their job will have been done.

Look at Pitt's first 5 games vs their last 5. They looked terrible in the first half of the season when UCF played them but turned it around the second half. They were not a good team when UCF played them.
LOL ...WHAT?🤣😂🙄🤣😂

Pitt beat #12 Syracuse the VERY NEXT week after getting dismantled by UCF. The next week they almost beat Notre Dame AT NOTRE DAME ...Irish came from behind on last few minutes of the game.

CMON MAN
They also LOST to UNC the prior week. You can't debate that they were a different team early vs. late. The only question is which team were they when they played UCF.

You also don't seem to believe that a team can turn it around in one week. See App 2014.
You’re killing me Smalls
Bump for everyone trying to convince me UCF's win over Pitt was a great win. Pitt is now 7-7. People don't forget 😂🤣

I was just thinking what App would have to do to make it into a 4 team playoff. It would have to be a year where we just so happened to schedule 2 top-10 teams and also win out. The kicker is I can’t imagine how 2 teams that lost to App state would be allowed to be ranked in the top-10 after we beat them. So basically there’s no way until we get to a 16 team playoff.

Actually when I think about how we could have gone undefeated this year and still missed out on the New Years Bowl to UCF that saddens me even more.
It would take divine intervention from God to force certain things our way.

Here is exactly the only blueprint that gets App State in a NY6 and then the one that gets us in a playoff.

For a NY6 Bowl
1. App must go 13-0
2. App must also beat everyone by double digits with several impressive blowouts
3. UCF must lose a game
4. Nobody in the MWC can go undefeated
5. App must finish ranked in the top 15

Those things would all have to go our way plus the following to get in the playoffs.

Now I think the first thing is BS because I no longer consider ND a power. What they showed is they just don't have the horses and I'm not sure they could beat UCF.

1. ND must lose 2 games
2. 1 SEC team needs to go undefeated and everyone else have 2 losses
3. 1 undefeated team from either the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac-12 with everyone else having 2 losses.
4. 1 other team could go with 1 loss but needs to be a real good one and all other teams must have a bad loss.
5. App would need to average about 20 points per win overall and excluding SC and UNC really needs to win in SBC by average of about 28-30.

This all would put App 4th in the playoffs.

If any of these don't go App's way they won't get in.

There is one other scenario but this can't happen in 2019.

1. Go 13-0
2. Win all games by double digits
3. Be the only undefeated G5
4. Playoffs expand to 8 and allow 1 guarantee for undefeated G5

After seeing the stellar performance Oklahoma and Notre Dame put on yesterday, could the UCF Knights really do any worse? I mean, Troy managed to hold their own against Clemson better than the Irish did. (Yeah I know different years yada yada, but Clemson made it to the playoffs so it's not like they fell off or anything)

I’d like a home and home with UCF.

Three close games right now. Can’t wait to see how they end so I will know if they prove how dominant the SEC is or show that the SEC teams just weren’t motivated to play.

:roll:

They want NO PART of App. Would be too much at stake for them to risk losing their crown.

They would probably say they are "too good" to come to our place.


Irony.

UCF has a solid offense what makes them good, but their D sucks.

The regular season is like a playoff of sorts. The competition is better, facilities are better, and the excitement is there to be tapped. The only thing G5 schools are failing at is marketing the excitement of the game. Even as a Sun Belt Champion, App gets more press than they did for a single FCS Championship. Close loss at Penn State and App is the talk of the G5 and P5 until the loss at Georgia Southern.
