Bye teams are 0-5 in the CFP.
Let's speculate and post hot takes before this stat changes.
How the CFP Rankings Compare to the AP Top 25 Poll
Nothing really surprising, but it's the first official list.

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.
- No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.
This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.
Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.
Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.
The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
Have police finally overstepped enough that reform could happen?
With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?
Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
Red Wings sign JT Compher (5x5.1)
Worst FA signing two years running with Chiarot and Compher.
