B12 Commish saying BYU should get n playoff, not ND πŸ”— no Jim Dame Phillips
remarks in this one. He’s gone stealth when the Conference needs him the most. Miami’s Coach Cristobal is fighting for his ACC team though.

prepping his speech for when ACC is completely left out of the CFP
a simple resignation should suffice

Man I hope he resigns or is fired, if Duke wins , ACC could be left out.
However, don’t worry, Notre Dame will be fine. 😳

If Virginia wins, the ACC could be left out.

Nope it's if Duke wins, the highest ranked conference champions, Duke
would not be ranked above JMU with 5 losses. If UVA wins they are likely in with their ranking. They talked about on ESPN this morning.

I know, but frankly, the ACC winner is just lame this year.

Miami is not lame this year, ask Notre Dame, if you don't believe me, but
the rules for making the Conference Championship are ridiculous, but look who is leading the conference. That's all you need to know about ridiculous.

Miami deserves to get in over ND.

Agreed, I just don't get how head to head wins or losses don't mean more!!!

Check out the MAC championship game. Both Toledo
and Ohio beat Miami OH head to head, and Miami got in over them because of some messed up tie breaking rules. If anyone has a beef about not getting in, it will be BYU. After all, they beat SMU last year head to head, had the same record, but SMU got into the playoffs. Guess it's a double edged sword. Even in they go to 16 or more, there will always be controversy. That is why I think the more teams in the playoffs, the better. let them win themselves to the national championship, rather than be voted into it.

I think 16 w/ no Conference Championships would be great, top 8 home games.
I also think you should have the option of playing during week zero or a bowl game. Bring back or create some rivalry games, Kansas Mizzou, Oklahoma Nebraska, Pitt West Virginia, Virginia Tech Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland etc. The off season talk would be off the hook, the ratings would be spectacular, and it's much easier to get in the playoff with an early season loss versus a late season loss that happens to half the teams in Conference Championships. 50% of the teams are penalized for playing in the Conference Championship game. Even if they make the playoff, their ranking probably falls. ** Edited by Stech at 12/2/2025, 5:36:00 PM

With the money involved, it's just a matter
of time before the NCAA is sued about week zero.

No one would listen to Phillips anyway. Total empty suit.
