Per Vegas, Ohio State is the favorite to win it all in a pretty open and competitive field.

… is the new Six Seven! 🙂

Six players remain in the hunt for the four playoff spots with the final two regular-season games on Tuesday: Independence (1:00 on ESPN) and Music City (4:30 on ESPN).

Carol (11-3) and Viv (11-3) are LOCKED INTO the playoffs.

Here are the other four and what they need to secure a spot.

• Commish (10-4) needs a La Tech win, OR wins by Coastal Carolina + Illinois.
• Macy (10-4) needs a Tennessee win, OR wins by Coastal Carolina + Illinois, OR La Tech + Illinois to win by fewer than 19 combined points.
• Futbol Fan (9-5) needs wins by Coastal Carolina + Tennessee.
• Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (8-6) needs wins by La Tech + Illinois by at least 19 combined points.

Stay tuned for more analysis, a refresher on the playoff format, and an announcement of the time for the 2025 Bowl Battle Playoff Draft on New Year’s Eve.

We lost two players in today’s early slate: Qkarlo7 and Retro.  At least 6 and up to 10 more players will fall out of the playoff race after today’s final two bowl games:  Gator (6:30) and Texas (8:15).

Four players are guaranteed to stay alive until Tuesday:  Carol, Commish, Macy & Viv.

What the others need to survive.

Perfection …

• Alexander, Lil London, Princess P, & Nose Picker need Virginia + LSU to win.
• Diss, John, Noah, & TK’s Touchdown Club need Missouri + Houston to win.
• Papa needs Missouri + LSU to win.
