I don’t think that ASU would be in the Big12 CCG if they lost to UA. They’d need more chaos to happen in conference play first. But, once again, the very unbiased Heather Dinich was the one to promote this idea on the CFP selection show.

I mean they can definitely use this info to help decide but after a while when it's the same core of teams every CFP, how much will viewership fall off? Does anyone not remember what happened to baseball when unlimited spending by a small amount of teams pretty much help destroy the sport? You need some type of parity to keep interest along all viewers.
I always bring up wrestling as an example. The national tournament has taken a hit because the way the Big10 has spent money and dominated the sport. Now, the conference tournaments are more fun than the national tournament for many conferences.

Let’s see … Arizona State is ranked 16. Iowa State is ranked 18.
If Iowa State gets to the CCG, that means Iowa State beat a ranked Kansas State team. And if Iowa State then beats Arizona State (or BYU, or Colorado), that’s yet another ranked win for the Cyclones.
And this doofus Straka has the gall to say Iowa State wouldn’t move above Tulane in this situation? What a maroon.
No, it’s stupider than that. They are saying if ASU loses to UA but then wins the CCG. But, if ASU loses to UA, there is no path for them to even get to the CCG. They start spouting that off on national TV without even doing the homework of seeing if this scenario is even possible.
I was going for the sarcasm in the original post. We’ve been told by our resident Spartan fan that she’s an unbiased super professional reporter that would never spin her reports to benefit the P2 conferences.
Oh, but they'll be quick to drop KSU out of the top 25 when we beat them - and move in someone like LSU or Florida in.

The Missouri Precedent would be for a mid-20s ranked team to stay put if they lose on the road to a higher-ranked team.
But, of course, the Missouri Precedent only applies to the SEC, because it just means more, naturally.
(Plus, it’d probably be Vandy or Oklahoma getting ranked just so they can prop up Bama’s schedule some more)

Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson will skip Hawkeyes' bowl game, enter 2025 NFL Draft: Johnson is the first Iowa player to score a touchdown in every game of a season. http://dlvr.it/TGWpGh

lol at Big ten “punishment” for Ohio State.
Planting a flag at mid field: 100k fine to program
Starting a brawl and pepper spraying players who didn’t start the brawl: 100k to program
No individual punishment.
Michigan’s collective should fund a law suit against the security who pepper sprayed them.

How do you have that situation on the field with no suspensions to players? That is absolutely gutless.
Nebraska and coach sound like total dbags per 2GNC show.
What’s the deal with them praying at midfield of visiting team before game? I mean that could be a whole thread.

I think his father said this isn't true and he's not transferring. Players change minds all the time though. Brennan was a horrendous hire I think he would be wise to leave
