2025 Schedule

Sounds like we are going to play an SEC team soon as the are going to start scheduling each other. I would think that means the SEC is going to a 9 game schedule or we are dropping to 8.

I totally forgot about that.

If we win out, we are in the CFP - no ifs, ands, or buts. My original post deals with the scenario that we go 11-1 losing to OSU. In that scenario, we would have no quality wins. Michigan had 2 top 10 wins last year in the regular season - we would have no top 30 wins under the scenario I posed. So I don't get how MIchigan's situation last year proves anything relative to the scenario I posed.

But there wasn’t a 12 team playoff either. Every single pundit and expert thinks IU is in with one loss. Will it be close? Of course.

Michigan beat top 10 teams in OSU and PSU last year and demolished everyone else. It was a no-brainer that they were selected to the playoffs. If we win out, it will be a no-brainer that we make the playoffs. If not, our resume would not remotely compare to Michigan's of last year.

Michigan cheated last season until late in the season when they were mandated to suspend Harbaugh.

This is a moot point, our boys are winning out!

The way I see it, next year we likely won't be picked to finish last or next to last in B1G nor ranked in the back half of FBS either to begin the season. That means if we aren't ranked to begin with, we will be ranked much sooner than this year if we perform at a similar level. We would then have the opportunity to be in CFP discussions early on and stand a better chance of hanging in there even with a loss at Oregon or Penn State. So keep the cupcakes because we will be rebuilding to a degree and take advantage of all the things that have contributed to this year being so great. The way things are going, season ticket sales are through the roof and Kennesaw State might be a near sellout.
