Two things can be true:
1. This is great news for the majority of college football fanbases.
2. This is terrible news for all of us who loathe the overuse of 'X% chance to make the CFP with a win' graphics during ESPN broadcasts.

Terrance Carter Jr.'s mom knows a thing or two about sacrifice.
After serving 12 years in the Army and doing four tours in Iraq, CoQuence Jenkins still shaped her son into the man he is today.

Texas Tech fans probably hoped for a little more love from the committee. But the playoff hunt is very much alive.
First: beat West Virginia. A win keeps things moving. A loss could send those CFP hopes off a cliff.
Then? Hotty Toddy. Go Canes. Go Ducks.
The biggest opportunities for outside help this week are about Tech’s at-large path more than its Big 12 title hopes.

Straight from the @JoeyMcGuireTTU show to the hoops game. Great hang with @howardddd1 and @cleveland_cash... they were money. Could’ve talked to them for an hour, at least. Now @GeoffHaxton has to deal with me the rest of the night. 😂 🏈 🏀 #WreckEm

I trust analytics and numbers. Very useful tool if you know what to look for in them. Don’t trust them as much as I trust my own 👀’s though.
It’s a balance.
