What’s the payout??
QnD
by my calculation about $4.2 million on a $1 bet.
If you are going to answer a question I never raised at least include the post I wrote.In NO years has there ever been a case for more than four teams.
Of course, you insisted it would never go to four. So it is not surprising that you can not see the writing on the wall.
If you are saying "should" it, then I would be inclined to agree that it should not. But it will...and it is obvious it will.
Seeing you guys are a bunch of college football afficianados, heres a blast from the past.
Its the 50th anniversary of the classic, 1968 "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29" game.
I've posted about ithe game (my dad, a Harvard grad took me to the game) and a subsequent encounter about 25 years after the game with Tommy Lee Jones, who played for Harvard.
Here's a pretty good article from today's Globe about the '68 game.
The 2018 game will be played tomorrow at Fenway Park.
Roll Crimson Sox!

The Game, as its followers call it with upper-case reverence, essentially was over. Yale was ahead by two touchdowns with less than four minutes to play and was driving for another.
“We were getting our butts kicked,” Harvard fullback Gus Crim observed.
And suddenly Harvard Stadium turned upside-down as dusk fell in 1968 amid an implausible succession of fumbles, penalties, bounces, and clutch plays that produced the most remarkable outcome in this storied rivalry.
its a pretty good read
I don't think anybody here said that Mike Leach couldn't turn Washington State around. Other coaches have won there and Leach has a track record of turning teams around. What was said is that Leach is an SOB, is generally one step ahead of the law and is an arrogant piece of work.
Remember when everyone thought Mike Leach couldn't turn the miserable Cougars around?
I thought it was a great fit. I love the guy
Makes no senseMy guess is all the Power Five CG winners(no matter what warts they may or may not have) and three lucky ladies to be fought ov....I mean three more teams to be reasoned in.
Agree on 5 automatic bids for Power 5 champs.QuoteI believe they will have to put in at least one automatic for an undefeated Group of 5 Team also--let's just say they would be foolish not to do that.YawnQuoteDouble Yawn .. Next to no one gives a shit
Much of the controversy as of late has been generated by the UCF win streak.QuotePut them in...and all that squawking disappears really quick.What are you drinking?QuoteThat leaves the next two highest ranked teams as at large bids...or in some years three.In NO years has there ever been a case for more than four teams.
All to eventually fall to The Mount.http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25275071/american-athletic-conference-commissioner-rethinks-stance-expanding-playoffForget that. How about the real playoffs? You ready for the Battle of the Hardins?
Pitt did give the Irish a hard time...
Thoughts?
Something about St. John playing Martin Luther resonates.
The Crusaders will crush the Cowboys same as before. I think the Johnnies have too much O for Knights.

When it was the BCS and they were "considering" a four team playoff, it was obvious the direction this was going. There is no stopping it and there is no satisfying the teams left out on the bubble no matter how many teams get in to a "playoff"
