Every day should be an Iowa college football game day.

Exactly 7 months until @HawkeyeFootball returns.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Today’s upset of Vandy capped a wild ride. This team has been really fun to watch.

Too bad there is no more Hawkeye football until August .

@DustyBottoms04 @THEEIowaStateU All jokes aside, that was a 94-year old stadium that burned completely to the ground because of a cowardly act of arson.

@galvatron261 @ClayTravis I’m okay with 12 teams if we can have 1 rating metric or formula to determine the best 12 teams.

After eliminating the committee, the 2nd best option would be full disclosure of the ‘discussions’ on how teams are ranked.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Worth noting: Congratulations to the @Delaware_FB for going 6-6 in their 1st year at the FBS level.

@BrooksAustinBA So what exactly are the “enhanced metrics” the committee is using this year?

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Based on the current #CFPRankings , here is how the bracket would look if the p4 got 4 spots
16. ACC 4th
1. Ohio St

9. BYU
8. Oklahoma

13. Virginia
4. Texas Tech

12USC
5. Oregon

11. Utah
6 Ole Miss

14.Arizona
3. Georgia

10. Miami
7. Tx A&M

15. Georgia Tech
2. Indiana

@WhyWeDrinkHere What bowl do you think Iowa will end up with this year?

My guess is they play Tennessee in Las Vegas.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Notre Dame then beat Stanford to claim the title heading into the postseason.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

If the national championship was defended every week, the current champion would be Florida.

Michigan was the champion until they got beat by Texas, who lost to Georgia, who lost to Ole Miss.
Florida’s win over Ole Miss means they are the champions until someone beats them.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Cal beat Louisville in overtime. A week later, Stanford beat Cal 31-10 to claim the crown.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

Why is 11-1 Oregon a lock for the #cfp but 11-1 BYU is not?

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@DavidEickholt I guess it all depends on how you define success. If 10 is a national championship, I’d give it a 7.

8-4 is exactly where I had them finishing.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

With Duke in the ACC Championship, it is worth noting how huge that horrible pass interference call that allowed Duke to beat Clemson.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@clintcarlos I like this model but I would add a conference semifinal round with the winners meeting for the title and a spot in your 4 team bracket.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@analyst4sports_ Simple reason: Networks want USC- Oregon to be important

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@HawkeyeBBFan I had this one as a loss back in preseason because of Iowa’s struggles on the west coast and against ranked teams.

So my expectations are low but IF somehow….

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@ralphDrussoATH My suggestion: Invite the top 4 to a conference semifinal round.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

@TheRickWebster This feels the Indiana game. 4-5 plays (like Wetjen’s fumble or the bad long snap) is the difference.

I know it’s a counterfactual but if Wetjen doesn’t fumble there, you probably put 3 on the board. Oregon would have needed a TD to win.

[Rob MacDonald @Robslapshot]

For what it’s worth, Iowa right now is +850 ( a $100 bet would return $950) to make the cfp.
