Curious about what sport? Pm me if you prefer.

Nfotiu… you haven’t been following the discourse have you?

Like I said. There will be no one to answer to because the system is changed after this.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Michigan and Washington are in 100%. Assuming Michigan wins but it’ll be a miracle if Iowa wins.

FSU win and they’re in.

Texas and Bama for the final spot. If FSU lose, they both get in. Georgia only gets in if Michigan and FSU lose. Then it’d be Bama, Georgia, Wash and Texas.

I could see FSU lose but not Michigan.

[Strange Brew]

Could Liberty beat a single SEC team? Their schedule is an utter joke and have no business in a major bowl.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Michigan needs 14 points to guarantee OT and 17 to win, no shot they lose against a 1930s offense. So it's all down to FSU.

Yeah, I said the same thing to Clay earlier. I think FSU is the one team that is not necessarily a lock for that reason.

[Spurs]

If Michigan just runs the ball on every play and punts it either out of bounds or so the returner has to fair catch do Iowa have a chance to even score a point?

It seems like every pass JJ throws is just a chance to give Iowa the 1% chance they have to win.

And even with the punts I think that DeJean is out anyways so they don't even have that concern.

They actually look pretty decent when I watch them. NIL has allowed them to buy pretty good players. Megachurch money morphed into bringing in 4 billion in tuition and school fees for an education with Christ can buy a good football team now. They're biggest problem in scheduling is no one wants to have anything to do with them.

Vanderbilt, Miss St and South Carolina maybe.

But even if they could they still don't belong anywhere close to a major bowl. Their schedule is a pathetic joke.

Admittedly I’m not watching them but hard to take them seriously for a major bowl when they beat San Houston by 5 points. I just don’t see how you put them in a bowl with something like the 150th hardest schedule in the country.

Are you sure about their enrollment of 100,000? That can’t be right, would make them the biggest college in America.

In an email interview, Liberty University Interim President Jerry Prevo wrote about Liberty’s enrollment expansion.

“Liberty has had tremendous growth because it has maintained its mission of training Champions for Christ, and as long as we hold to this mission, we will continue to see growth,” Prevo wrote. “

This fall, Liberty University has welcomed more students than ever before in both its residential and online programs, exceeding 130,000 students for the first time. Total on-campus enrollment stands at a record 15,800 students. Liberty’s online programs hit a record 115,000 students pursuing degrees from across the nation and around the globe.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Guessing Liberty has a hefty online learning presence that ups the number. 100,000 on campus doesn't sound physically possible.

Edit: Nfotiu got it covered

[nfotiu]

It is an impressive campus. Driving down 460 in Virginia is all typical rural VA for hours, and then all of a sudden to the right looks like Abu Dhabi with Jerry Falwell's airport on the next turn.

It's the only college that if I see it on a resume, it goes immediately in the trash.

[Spurs]

Liberty entrance requirements are basically do you love God and will agree to our stupid rules while paying us a ton of money? Yes ok you are in regardless if you can read, write, add, subtract or even know what a university is.

[GirlySports]

If transitive properties mean anything Liberty whipped NMSU yesterday, who whipped Auburn a couple weeks ago, who almost beat Alabama last week, who just beat Georgia…

[nfotiu]

I don't get the FSU second string's QB status. He participated in warmups and looks active as a backup but is in concussion protocol so can't start? So, FSU will try to do the right thing and go with the 3rd string, but if it's not working out or he gets hurt, then protocol is over?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

If I’m the committee, FSU is out. This offence isn’t beating anyone.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If you combined Louisville, FSU and Iowa I believe that offense could score 17 points. This is putrid.

[nfotiu]

If FSU squeaks by with their 3rd string freshman QB, they are such a weird case for the CFP. Second string guy will be good to go by the playoffs, but can he be a good qb with a month to practice? Their overall resume wins out, but who are you putting in the playoffs?

[KelVarnsen]

FSU v Louisville is just like a NFL game
