This is going to circle back down the road.
It’s such a specific detail. SEC/Big Ten/ACC/Big 12 all get their conference champions in, but the other champions aren’t in contention?
Most worlds have the 5th champion spot being the highest ranked group team anyways, but then again why the hidden detail?
@BeaverMBB commit Drew Anderson has been upgraded to a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recruit. He is the first 4 star since Ethan Thompson. Great news for the Beavs.

The Pac-12 board will meet this week for three days to discuss the 2026 football season and loads more. Here's a look at the agenda items and timing for formalizing the schedule -->
Nine SEC teams! Who could’ve guessed! 🤯
• Go 1-8 against the ACC, Big 12, and Big Ten in the postseason.
• Get 5 bids to the CFP and fail to even reach the national championship game for a THIRD consecutive season.
• Have your conference champion be a one-and-done in the CFP for a second consecutive season.
• Have your conference runner-up end with a 35-point loss in a game viewed by 23.9 million people.
• Have your 11-1 third place finisher score 3 points and lose a CFP game at home.
• Finish with a losing record to the ACC (second time in the last three years).
Doesn’t matter! Here’s 9 preseason ranked teams to help bolster those early résumés and rig public perception again. 🎁💕🥰
Not totally discounting the SEC’s popularity, but I would argue this is less “organic” and more-so structurally amplified by ESPN’s CFB dominance and partnership with the league.
Oregon State's new staff has offered more Oregon high school football prospects this week than the last staff did for the entire 2025 cycle.
Graphics, enthusiasm among HS coaches, positive conversations.
They care!
G5 team gets a 1st round bye:
RULE CHANGE
Two G5 teams finish ranked higher than a P4 champ: RULE CHANGE
The P4 leagues are structuring the CFP to guarantee their champions a spot regardless of ranking, but the G6 doesn’t get the same benefit?
Lawsuit.
When people talk about college careers that quietly changed programs, Oregon State’s Sydney Wiese belongs in that conversation.
Before Wiese arrived:
✨Oregon State hadn’t been ranked or reached the NCAA Tournament in 18 years
✨Three losing seasons in the previous four years, including a (10–21) record the season before her arrival
✨Finished near the bottom of the Pac-12 in six of the prior nine seasons
With Wiese in Corvallis:
✨NCAA Tournament appearances in all four seasons
✨First Final Four appearance in program history
✨First Pac-12 Tournament championship in program history
✨First Pac-12 regular-season title in program history
✨First 30-win season in program history
✨A program-record 32 wins in a single season
✨Highest conference win total in program history (16)
✨First-ever appearance in the AP Top 10
✨Highest AP ranking in program history (No. 6)
✨Highest NCAA Tournament seed in program history (No. 2)
The biggest snub in college football history?! Boise state 2006
Utah 2008
Boise State 2009
TCU 2010
UCF 2017
All undefeated! The difference is the logo and the brand of Notre Dame! Boise State has had more undefeated seasons than Notre Dame in the last 25 years! When Boise State gets knocked down, they get up! The Broncos go prove it on the field! Same thing with all the rest of the G5! The definition for Entitlement in the dictionary should just be Notre Dame Football!
