With game time, okay, let's go Hey, football guy, but he ain't double-hit. Pardon my take, yeah. Pardon my take, yeah. Pardon my take, yeah. Pardon my take, yeah. Pardon my take. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by Draft Kings. The crown is yours today is Wednesday, December 3rd, and PFT, James Madison University is ranked in the top 25. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. A little number next to our name. And listen, first of all, I just want to make this clear from the start. There have been a lot of people that are like PFT, you understand that JMU would get boat race by and eat the at large teams. I just want to make it clear that I'm not going to address that. I'm only focused on the opportunity in front of me, which is getting into the playoff. It is absurd that we found ourselves in a situation because of the design of the playoff at large that you could have two group of five teams that get in to college football's championship crowning tournament and you have teams like Notre Dame that could be left out. Does that mean that Jayme U is better than Notre Dame? I have no choice but to say yes, it does mean that because we would be in Notre Dame would be out. But yeah, it's an absurd situation that we found ourselves in, given what happened with the ACC. I think if they had to do it all over again, they would probably make it the four top ranked conference champions that would get the automatic bid. I feel like that would probably be a more fair way if you're really trying to get the best 12 teams into the mix. But what the committee did today, having UNT ranked 24, as I suspected, if UNT beat two lane, I think that they would obviously be ahead of JMU to make it in. I even thought that if UNT was not ranked, I thought that if they beat two lane, that would be enough. They jumped JMU. That's not really surprising to me. Whoever wins the Americans going to get in, J. M. U. the brotherhood with Duke. If Duke wins, I don't see a world where they put Duke in. I think they put J. M. U. at 25 to signal that if J. M. U. beats Troy, handles business in Harrison that J.M.U. will be ranked above Duke if they win the ACC championship. But UVA obviously gets in if they beat Duke. So we got a long ways to go, but it's a lot of chaos. It's just kind of cool to think about a world when JmU could be in the 12 team tournament. I actually, so you know, it's been texted me recently. Joey Harrington, getting the track talk started, looking ahead to that, that Jamie Oregon potential matchup. I think Oregon would be favored by like 18 points. But if we covered, that's my national championship right there. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, the, um, so I've seen the take thrown around because obviously people are mad about the two, the potential of James Madison and in North Texas or Chilean being in that we shouldn't let two automatic qualifiers. Uh, yeah, okay. Well, then either make it 16, which I think is probably too many because we're going to talk about this with Brandon, but this is last year we didn't have enough good teams this year. We have too many good teams. So either make it 16 or if you want to just make a different playoff for everyone who's not in the power for which would suck, but that's the only solution because you can't, you can't have a sport where it is just impossible for half of the teams to not be in the tournament. You're just saying that it's going to be big 10 and SEC and that's going to ruin the sport even further. So it's chaos right now. We knew it was going to be chaotic and weird

for the first couple of years of this.

I think it eventually will get to 16

and then people will stop pitching as much

because you're getting closer and closer to where

the natural rankings are of a JMU and a two lane.

But the big thing that came out tonight

was that we thought maybe there was a chance that Notre Dame and Miami, because they did play in August, there would be the committee trying to creep Miami up a little bit more. That did not happen. Notre Dame did drop a spot for Alabama beating Auburn, but it's essentially set in that the only thing that could keep Notre Dame out is if BYU beats Texas Tech. you buy you be Texas Tech, then they'll have to let BYU be in, and I would assume the Texas Tech wouldn't fall past Notre Dame. Other than that, there can't be a lot of movement left. I guess they could maybe bounce Alabama with three losses if they lose to Georgia, but that would also be very chaotic because Alabama beat Georgia earlier in the year.

So you could say, well, they, they're one and one against each other. But other than that, like I, I didn't see a whole lot of stuff, the Ole Miss thing. They didn't, they didn't penalize Ole Miss for losing Lane Kiffin. In fact, they actually went up a spot and Texan and went, fell all the way to seven. So yeah, I think it's pretty straightforward what we have coming up on championship

saturday.

The thing that the committee does not want to happen is for Texas Tech to lose to BYU and Alabama to lose to Georgia because then they have some hard decisions to make. Yeah, I think if BYU beats Texas Tech, what's going to happen is they're gonna to put Miami in. You can put, they put Miami and Notre Dame so close. Wait, so who would go out? So wait, so if, if BYU loses, then it would, you're out. They would be out right now. Right, right. But if BYU loses, then I think they would have Miami and Notre Dame ranked consecutively, right? That's still Miami out. But no, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that if they're ranked right next to each other, I think the committee looks at that and they ultimately say, well, Miami and Notre Dame did play. And then Miami's in. I don't know. So you're saying Miami would jump Notre Dame with both of them not playing? If they're named, it's as simple as this. It's as simple as their names being written directly next to each other, one number apart, and then one team beat the other team. I think that's what the committee would do. But they also necessarily wouldn't have to do that

if Bama loses, because then they just have no time at the nine, Bama at the 10, Miami at the 11. I guess they could do that. And what this has really taught us, it's made dudes do math. We don't know that we're doing math, but we're learning about the transit of property. If you grew up learning about the transit property, but you had like a strong identification with one number
