Some incredible sequences by Italy in this game. They’ve shown they can score 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34…

The Results of the JMU and Tulane game don’t matter. They earned their way into the College Football Playoff and earned their butt whopping like:

-Alabama lost 44-16 to Clemson-2019
-Oklahoma lost 63-28 to LSU-2019
-OSU lost 31-0 to Clemson-2016
-OSU lost 52-24 to Alabama-2021

The conversation around the Group of 5 this week has been crazy.

No, the format doesn’t need to change and of course the Group of 5 should be able to make the Playoff.

From 2013-2022, Group of 5 teams in NY6 bowls beat: #6 Baylor, #10 Arizona, #9 FSU, #7 Auburn, #10 USC, and played within one possession of #8 Wisconsin, #9 Georgia, and #11 LSU.

A Group of 5 team has made the CFP two times prior to this season. In both of those other instances, at least one Power 4 team lost by a larger margin than the G5 team.

There’s all this outrage about the Group of 5 when they’ve literally kept games more competitive than Power 4 teams in the bracket both times they’ve made it to the CFP.

If people don’t like the underdog and the “little guy” and only want matchups between the big brands and major logos, there’s this product called the NFL you can watch. That’s what you’re looking for. Close point spreads, few major upsets, rarely any underdog stories outside of individual players, all the teams are pretty even. Go watch that.

But don’t come in to CFB and attempt to render half the FBS as some pointless afterthought when they’ve repeatedly shown that they can compete.

The Group of 5 has great programs, great players, and great coaches, who the Power 4 teams go and take every single offseason.

“The G5 sucks and should be banned from the CFP, but also, the SEC’s going to take 4 head coaches from the American in one coaching cycle and scour their rosters to take a ton of high level transfers.” Can’t have it both ways.

One flukey year where every possible calamity happened down the stretch to make it so the ACC Champion wasn’t ranked higher than JMU doesn’t mean the entire system needs to be blown up.

Let’s see how the 12-team format works for at least 5+ years before considering any changes. Freaking out after every season doesn’t solve anything.

the ACC sucked this year and the G5 gets to take all the blame for it while every analyst whines there’s a couple teams that shouldn’t be in bc it takes a slight hit to the ratings

the G5 is “not even playing the same game,” but let’s take all their best coaches, players, and schools and make them P4 stars. nonsense

We should crave more of these moments

Will Tulane & JMU be out of the game by halftime? Probably on paper. But this is why we play the games, and I’m always intrigued by a David vs Goliath storyline. The GO5 spot in the CFP is good

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

So, BYU was penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game (dropped one spot). Which allowed Miami to move up and get compared directly to Notre Dame.

But Alabama was not penalized for getting blown out in its conference championship game.

Look how much the American Championship dub means to Tulane fans ❤️

TULANE TO THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS 🌊

The Tulane Green Wave are the 2025 AAC Champions 🏆

[Jon Sokoloff @JonSokoloff]

Just asked CFP chair Hunter Yurachek why he felt Tulane was the most deserving G5 of a top 25/CFP spot:

"The American is a really good conference, really top heavy. Look at Tulane's schedule, they went outside and played three P4 schools in Ole Miss, Northwestern and Duke and won two of those games. Very impressive win at Memphis and a win vs. ECU who has come on as of late."
