@FootballCliches@CDEccleshare@D_C_W The best indication that this World Cup might be too bloated is in regulations document (https://t.co/HUGuwTUJ7d), where the final 18(!) pages are just a list of the 495(!) permutations of 3rd place teams in the 2nd round. Game's gone
@CFBNerds Your take has been correct all year but I think it was always going to sort itself out anyway - either they would lose like this, or they'd win out (including against UGA and in the ACCCG) and so be worthy of a CFP place
@CFBNerds On GT: if they win out until UGA, then lose that and ACCCG, do they make the playoff? Should they make the playoff? These are the key questions. If they win either of those games they're deservedly in at 12-1/13-0

A Thread 🧵
The CFB Div1 regular season is over for P4 teams and, as usual, debate rages over which conference is best. Here are a few ways to compare, looking at performance in P4 OOC games only. First, straight W/L:
SEC 12-6
B1G 6-6
ACC 9-12
Big12 5-8
