College Football Week 11 thread

Floyd's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson says, "Go HAWKS!"

 

A playoff question: Does anyone know how they determine which matchup the Rose Bowl gets, and which one the Sugar Bowl gets? Is it a regional thing? Does one or the other get first pick? Or is it the 1-4 game goes Rose, 2-3 goes Sugar, or vice versa?

 

"When assigning teams to sites, the committee will place the top two seeds at the most advantageous sites, weighing criteria such as convenience of travel for its fans, home-crowd advantage or disadvantage and general familiarity with the host city and its stadium. Preference will go to the No. 1 seed."

Sounds like FSU or any of the SEC teams would get New Orleans.

 

I think Condi gets to decide.

 

Unless an SEC team and FSU are the top two seeds. The No. 2 seed will be going to Pasadena in that scenario. Then the question becomes, would the committee ship a Pac-12 team east so it wouldn't have the home field advantage as the lower seed?

 

Yeah, I meant as the top seed.

 

Mmmm...MACtion. Sploosh.

 

Great. A 5-6 Stanford team playing in the Rose Bowl.
