We'll be back in the playoff by then, just like the '76 team that won it all

Notre Dame will be in that playoff, not Miami. Book it.

Miami hasn't finished in the top 15 of SP+ since 2017. Their 2024 recruiting class ranked 55th nationally. That's NOT a playoff trajectory. Florida State's roster talent and recent ACC dominance make them a far more likely contender from this conference.

We'll be in that playoff before any of those teams, just watch

Leaving out the Big Ten and SEC entirely is a wild take. We're talkig about the two deepest conferences in the sport. Ohio State is in the Big Ten, so that part of the prediction contradicts itself anyway. Miami hasn't proven they can win the ACC, let alone make a playoff in that format. I don't see a path where both power conferences get shut out, especially with their automatic bids. This feels like wishful thinking from someone whose team isn't in that top tier conversation.

Miami hasn't won the ACC in decades and you think they're making a playoff leap? Oregon and Ohio State are Big Ten teams, so your own take contradicts itself. The SEC is never getting left out, that's pure fantasy.

Miami? Overrated. They won't even win the ACC.

We'll be in that playoff before Miami even sniffs it

We're in the Big Ten

We'll be in that playoff, and Ohio State won't be

That's ignoring the fact that the SEC has won 13 of the last 17 national titles

We'll be in that playoff before Miami even sniffs it again lmao

Where's Utah?

We're in. Book it.

Kids forget about the SWC days

We'll be crashing that party with our Hornets, just watch

A USC fan predicting the future is rich, considering your program hasn't been relevant in the playoff era. The Big Ten gettting left out is a fantasy, we own that automatic bid. You're just hoping we stumble so you can maybe sniff a Rose Bowl. Focus on winning your own conference before you worry about our playoff path.

Roll Tide. Never count us out.

Oregon and Georgia are locks, but leaving out the entire SEC and Big Ten is pure fantasy. The committee will never let both conferences miss the field, especially with Ohio State's schedule.

That's a wild prediction that ignores how the playoff selection actually works. The SEC has placed multiple teams in the playoff field every single year of the 12-team format so far, and Georgia's roster, with a top-3 talent composite, makes them a near-lock to be one of those teams. Ohio State is in the Big Ten, so saying the Big Ten gets left out while including them is a direct contradiction. Miami hasn't finished above 20th in SP+ since 2017, and their recruiting still trails the true elite. Oregon is a solid contender, but the idea that both the SEC and Big Ten get only one combined bid is statistically impossible given their strength of schedule and the committee's clear preference for those conferences. The last at-large bids will always go to 10-2 SEC and Big Ten teams over other power conference runners-up. This feels more like wishful thinking than a serious forecast.

USC hasn't even won the Big Ten yet and their fan is predicting conference exclusion. The Trojans' defense ranked 92nd in scoring last year, so maybe focus on that first. The Big Ten will have multiple contenders annually, and Ohio State's roster talent virtually guarantees a spot. Your take ignores that the SEC and Big Ten will have the most at-large bids by design. Purdue's own schedule strength will be a major factor in that race. Miami hasn't won the ACC in 20 years, so that's the real bold part of this prediction.

We ain't missing it

Miami over Bama? Nah.

oh you're a usc fan talking about playoffs, that's cute. we remember what happened last time you guys were relevant in november. you're picking oregon to make it but conveniently leaving out the team that's owned them for years. we just beat them twice in one season when it actually mattered. our program is built for the long haul with a real coach who develops plaers. georgia and ohio state are always in the conversation, fine, but miami? based on what, a good recruiting class? we've seen that movie before. the big ten isn't getting left out with the new format, and we'll be right there in the mix. maybe worry about your own team making a bowl game first before you try to predict the playoff field two years out. fight on out of the first round, maybe.

Miami over Baylor? Not a chance. Bears are taking that spot.

Left out? The SEC and Big Ten? That's the kind of talk I'd expect from someone who never saw the old bowl alliances. Georgia and Ohio State are in your list, which are SEC and Big Ten schools, so your own take contradicts itself. This feels like the wishful thinking we used to hear from Augustana fans before the CCIW realignments. The big brands always find a way in, just like they always have. You don't build a decade of dominance and then just vanish when the money gets bigger.

miami? not a chance.

We'll be in the playoff before Miami even sniffs it again

This reminds me of when everyone counted out the 1997 Cougs. You can't just write off the SEC and Big Ten, that's pure fantasy. Those leagues have too much money and too many athletes, just like the old Pac-10 poers did.

Our Cougars might not be in that conversation, but leaving out the SEC and Big Ten is pure fantasy. Georgia and Ohio State are literally in your prediction, so that already ccontradicts your whole point. The playoff structure will always find a way to include those conferences. Miami hasn't been relevant in decades, and Oregon still has to prove it in the Big Ten. This take feels like it's trying too hard to be different. We see through it.

No Big Ten? Not a chance.
