This year fer sur.
I KNOW that. I know the bye teams get automatic berths based on winning their conference. My "bitch" is predicated on the "experts" having some kind of financial interest in predicting (more like hoping) that BYU and Iowa State both start losing because K-State no longer plays either one of them! K-State can't do anything if BYU and Iowa State keep winning. They already blew it.aTm wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2024 10:59 am You should study what the actual format is before bitching about it. Who gets the byes is virtually automatic and has no room for any bias about which fans travel well. If someone has Kansas State with a bye it is because they are projecting that Kansas State will win the Big 12 championship game.
Correct. And there is no rational reason as to why anyone would think one of those teams would be K-State. Its likely that K-State will not even be playing for the Big-XII Championship. And that might be a financial disaster for the playoffs as BYU and Iowa State fans do not travel nor do they spend money.
Texas A&M is in sole possession of first place in the SEC, but I notice you didn't whine about them not being included.We haven't had our first playoff poll come out yet. Next week will be the first. The so called "experts" who are making predictions, I haven't seen one 12 team playoff poll with less than 4 SEC teams in it: Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee. The SEC has no undefeated teams, but they get at least 33% of the playoff berths. And the so called "experts" are all predicting that it will be Kansas State (not BYU and not Iowa State) with the bye week. And why? Blatantly obvious to me. K-State fans travel to games and spend money in these cities whereas BYU and Iowa State fans aren't traveling or spending anything. And BYU beat K-State.
Did something happen other than those dipshits not spending any money in the town?
They should be included. I think worst case scenario, you guys go 10-2 and are at least playing in the SEC championship.aTm wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2024 11:45 amTexas A&M is in sole possession of first place in the SEC, but I notice you didn't whine about them not being included.We haven't had our first playoff poll come out yet.
