Flash's Flops, college football playoff weekend:
How will the SEC fare in Stage 1 of the 2025 playoff format?:

Flash's college football playoff flops:
Friday:
Alabama at Oklahoma 7:00 (Oklahoma)
Saturday:
Miami at Texas A&M 11:00 (Miami)
Tulane at Ole Miss 2:30 (Tulane)
James Madison at Oregon 6:30 (JM)
Season record: 116 & 33 (.770)
Last time: 6 & 3 in championship games on December 5/6.
Year two of the college football format with 12 teams participating.
Indiana, Ohio State, Georgia and Texas Tech drew the bye for being seeded 1 through 4.
Alabama is in with 3 losses, but the Tide went 7 & 1 in the SEC and won at Georgia in late September.
Texas A&M's loss to Texas took the Aggies out of the First Four all the way to No. 7.
Miami is good, but not the champion in the Atlantic Coast Conference for having 2 losses and did not play in the title game two weeks ago.
Ole Miss is to prove it's the team that does the job, so much more than whom is coaching them.
Lane Kiffin will have his popcorn from his new home in Baton Rouge as Pete Goulding is commanding the Rebels in their best season in quite some time from the Grove.
Oregon is a 3 touchdown favorite to wreck the Cinderella story of James Madison as the final qualifier.
