Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #020124
Firefighting Equipment and Rescue Tools with Related Supplies and Accessories
3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new, current model; however, proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.
4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the proposal, equipment and products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.
5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a warranty that is the industry standard or better.
D. PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT TERM
The term of any resulting contract(s) awarded by Sourcewell under this solicitation will be four years. Sourcewell and supplier may agree to up to three additional one-year extensions based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities. Sourcewell retains the right to consider additional extensions beyond seven years as required under exceptional circumstances.
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $35 Million; therefore, proposers are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.
The proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is expected that proposer will promote and market any contract award.
G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Contracts will be awarded to proposers able to best meet the need of Participating Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.
2. A proposer may submit only one proposal. If related, affiliated, or subsidiary entities elect to submit separate proposals, rather than a single parent-entity proposal, each such proposal must be prepared independently and without cooperation, collaboration, or collusion.
3. If a proposer works with a consultant on its proposal, the consultant (an individual or company) may not assist any other entity with a proposal for this solicitation.
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #020124
Firefighting Equipment and Rescue Tools with Related Supplies and Accessories
4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
5. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory.
6. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal.
III. PRICING
A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.
3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).
4. Clearly understandable, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).
Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the proposer. Additionally, proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #020124
Firefighting Equipment and Rescue Tools with Related Supplies and Accessories
Proposers awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entitiesfor all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation.
To identify any exception, or to request any modification, to Sourcewell’s standard Contract terms, conditions, or specifications, a proposer must submit the proposed exception(s) or requested modification(s) via redline in the Contract Template provided in the “Documents” section of the “Bid Details” page on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and uploaded as part of its response. Only those exceptions noted at the time of the proposal submission will be considered.
Exceptions must:
1. Clearly identify the affected article and section.
2. Clearly note the requested modification; and as applicable, provide requested alternative language.
Unclear requests will be automatically denied.
Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract document provided to the awarded supplier for signature.
If a proposer receives a contract award resulting from this solicitation it will have up to 30 days to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract award may be revoked.

A. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE
Sourcewell will hold an optional, non-mandatory pre-proposal conference via webcast on the date and time noted in the Solicitation Schedule for this RFP and on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.

Juan Soto, the New York Yankees’
newest prized possession, didn’t mind
the questions.
Certainly, he welcomed everyone’s
interest.
He respects the curiosity.
But no, he did not drop a single hint
on Tuesday, share any thoughts, or
come close to suggesting his stay in New
York will last longer than a year.
He seemed genuinely excited to be
with the Bronx Bombers, saying it was
surreal to put on a Yankee cap before
starting his 30-minute zoom call, but
kept every last thought of his future
strictly to himself.
“Any contract stuff,” Soto said, “they
know where to call, who to talk to. I’m
just here to play baseball …
“My mindset is coming here to play
baseball and try to win a championship.”
While agent Scott Boras was also on
the call, he remained silent.
But let’s be honest. There’s a better
chance of the Kansas City Royals and
Pittsburgh Pirates meeting in the 2024
World Series than Soto signing an extension before he hits free agency.
The Yankees’ advantage now is that
they have the next 10 months to prove to
Soto this is the place he wants to play for
perhaps the rest of his professional
baseball career.
And, if they want him, they’re certainly going to have to pay him.
Soto, who already turned down a deferred 15-year, $440 million contract extension two years ago from the Washington Nationals, is determined to become the richest baseball player in history.
Certainly, he wants to crack the
$500 million barrier and break Shohei
Ohtani’s record with the Los Angeles
Dodgers. Ohtani signed a 10-year,
$700 million contract with the Dodgers;
but with $680 million deferred, the contract is worth about $460 million, MLB officials say.
But while Ohtani is baseball’s greatest two-way player, and twice has been a unanimous MVP, Soto is a three-time
All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger
but has never won the award. He twice
finished in the top five, including second in 2021, his last full season with the Nationals.
He was on a loaded San Diego Padres
team, surrounded by Manny Machado,
Xander Bogaerts and Fernando Tatis,
but the team never came close to winning the division during his stay and missed postseason play in 2023.
Now, he’s on a team with former
MVPs and home run champions Aaron
Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, with
Judge expected to play in center field
and Soto in left or right field.
“It’s going to be amazing,” said Soto,
who was on the call from his home in
Miami. “It’s going to be really fun. I’m
going to be more than excited to share
the field with him. He seems like a great
guy. One of the guys that reached out to
me when I got traded.
“It’s going to be fun to see him play,
hitting and play the outfield. I’ll try to
pick his mind when I’m there, and try to
enjoy the moment while I’m there.”
The Yankees didn’t trade five players
to the Padres for Soto and outfielder
Trent Grisham just to help Soto’s free
agent stock. They believe he could be
the missing piece on a team that finished 25th in runs last season and missed the playoffs.
“We understand that he’s a free agent
at the end of this term, and we understand that it’s a possible short-term situation,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said last week. “I just know
he’s just going to make our team significantly better.” Soto, who was playing Nintendo with
friends when he got the news of the
trade, wasn’t exactly throwing his joy
stick up in the air in excitement. He
wanted to stay in San Diego for at least
one more year. He loved playing with the
Padres and believed that this year was a
fluke, believing they could bounce back
and take control of the division.
He will never know.
All that matters now, at least in the
Bronx, is that he gets the Yankees back
to being the Yankees, the beast of the AL
East.
This is the bat the Yankees badly
need for a sagging offense, with an outfield that produced only a 2.9 WAR, the sixth weakest in baseball. Soto, with his
career .946 OPS, should remedy that,
along with the acquisition of outfielder
Alex Verdugo from the Boston Red Sox.
While the short porch in right field at
Yankee Stadium is a left-handed hitter’s
dream, letting folks imagine they are going to have another rendition of Judge, Soto wants everyone to calm down.
Simply, he is not a pull hitter. He hit 196
balls into the air last season, according
to Statcast, and just 49 balls (25%) were
hit to right field.
He is not going to change his swing
just because he’ll be playing 81 games at
Yankee Stadium.
“We all know there’s a really short
porch there, and it’s got to be on your
mind,” Soto said. “But definitely, I’m going to try to stay in the same approach I’ve been doing. That’s what has taken
me all the way to where I am right now,
so there’s no reason to change anything.”
Soto, who played left field this past
season for the Padres, says it doesn’t
matter whether he plays left field or
right field. He prefers to hit third, which
would be ideal to protect Judge, but
wherever the Yankees want to put him
in the order, he’s fine.
Soto, with uncles and friends who
live in New York, knows there will be
distractions. This is New York, not San
Diego or Washington. He will constantly
be asked about free agency wherever he
goes.
And he will consistently provide no
clues.
“I mean, I’ve been doing it for six
years,” he said. “I think it’s not going to
be that hard, because I have one of the
best agents in the league. So, I put everything on him and let him do his magic.” Playing in New York can be grueling
on the psyche. It can chew up and spit
out the weak. But it also can provide the
ultimate high. And now Soto will be able
to play in front of a Dominican community, where he’ll be worshipped. “It’s definitely just a great vibe, a
great feeling to be playing in New York
and in that stadium,” Soto said. “It’s going to be really fun to see how much energy they bring to the ballpark.” The way Soto envisions it, he’ll have a
monster season, the Yankees will flourish, and they’ll be playing through late October, all the way until November.
“In a perfect season,” he said, “we’ll
win a championship.”
Soto offers no hints about post-2024 plans
Bob Nightengale
USA TODAY
Juan Soto had a .275 batting average with 35 home runs and 109 runs batted in for the Padres in 2023. DARREN YAMASHITA/USA TODAY SPORTS There is no hard-and-fast deadline.
No one is in any particular hurry.
Besides, the two biggest blockbuster
moves have already been made with
Shohei Ohtani traveling up the road to
the Los Angeles Dodgers and Juan Soto
heading 3,000 miles away to the New
York Yankees.
Really, what’s the rush?
Well, the holidays and New Year’s is
around the corner. Teams want to be
able to market their new presents for
their season ticket holders.
The earlier, the better.
Here are the top five most intriguing
players on the marketplace:
Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Is there anyone who’s not trying to
sign this guy?
Let’s see, the New York Mets traveled
halfway across the world to see him. The
San Francisco Giants already had a visit. The Yankees front office came to see him Monday. The Dodgers hosted him
Tuesday. The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays are next on the dock.
He is the anti-Ohtani.
This guy loves the spotlight. He
adores being the center of attention. He
embraces the brightest lights. He’s into
the latest fashion.
He’s also the best pitcher on the marketplace, winning three consecutive Sawamura Awards (Japan’s version of the Cy Young) and has earned Pacific
League MVP honors each of the past
three seasons.
And, oh, yeah, he’s 25.
Yamamoto is going to receive at least
$300 million on the market, with the
Yankees, Dodgers, Mets and Giants all
expected to be in a bidding war.
Prediction: Yankees.
Cody Bellinger
It’s an awfully weak class of position
players and Bellinger is easily the best.
He reestablished his free agent value after two lousy seasons with the Dodgers, becoming the Cubs’ best player in 2023.
He went from striking out 27.3% of the
time in 2022 to a career-best 15.6%
while hitting .307 with 26 homers and
97 RBI.
Bellinger, 28, still plays fabulous defense in center field, is an elite first baseman and has become one of the
best two-strike hitters in the game.
He looked like he’d be a natural fit for
the Giants, only for them to sign Korean
star center fielder Jung Hoo Lee instead
to a six-year, $113 million contract.
Bellinger’s cost will be much higher.
He’s seeking a 10-year, $250 million
contract, according to several team officials, and certainly wants to crack the $200 million barrier.
The Giants need more help, but the
outfield and first base appear to be set.
This leaves a two-way battle between
the Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays for the
former MVP.
Prediction: Blue Jays
Blake Snell
The man is a two-time Cy Young winner who absolutely dominated the National League last season. The concern is that Snell, 31, has pitched more than
109 innings just twice and has never
pitched more than 180.
Some teams fear that he would put
too much stress on their bullpen, lasting
into the sixth inning just three times last
year, while others wonder if he could
handle the stress of pitching in a big
market.
Prediction: Giants.
Dylan Cease
Tyler Glasnow is expected to be first
marquee pitcher traded, with talks between the Tampa Bay Rays and Dodgers hot and heavy.
Yet the most prized pitcher is Cease
of the Chicago White Sox, who has two
years left of control. While Glasnow is
scheduled to earn $25 million in 2024,
Cease isn’t expected to earn that much
in his next two seasons of arbitration.
Cease struggled this year, along with
every other White Sox player, going 7-9
with a 4.58 ERA. Yet two seasons ago, he
finished second in the AL Cy Young race,
going 14-7 with a 2.22 ERA and 227
strikeouts in 184 innings.
The beauty of Cease is that he’s not a
rental. You have him for two more seasons.
The White Sox are smart waiting for
the hysteria to end over Yamamoto before trading Cease to the higher bidder.
Prediction: Atlanta
Josh Hader
There’s not a reliever on the free
agent or trade market in the same
stratosphere as Hader, a five-time AllStar who has been the game’s best reliever for years.
The trouble is that his price tag is in a
different stratosphere than the rest, too,
seeking to eclipse Edwin Diaz’s fiveyear, $102 million contract with the Mets.
The Phillies would seem to be a natural fit, but they have no interest. The Texas Rangers could badly use him but
say they don’t have the cash. It could
leave Hader falling in the Dodgers’ lap.
Prediction: Dodgers

Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #011824
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Breathing Air Systems with Related Equipment
Sourcewell prefers suppliers that provide a sole source of responsibility for the equipment, products, and services provided under a resulting contract. If proposer is including the equipment, products, and services of its subsidiary entities, the proposer must also identify all included subsidiaries in its proposal. If proposer requires the use of distributors, dealers, resellers, or subcontractors to provide the equipment, products, or services, the proposal must address how the equipment, products or services will be provided to Participating Entities, and describe the network of distributors, dealers, resellers, and/or subcontractors that will be available to serve Participating Entities under a resulting contract.
Sourcewell encourages suppliers to offer the broadest possible selection of equipment, products, and services being proposed over the largest possible geographic area and to the largest possible cross-section of Sourcewell current and future Participating Entities.
C. REQUIREMENTS
It is expected that proposers have knowledge of all applicable industry standards, laws, and regulations and possess an ability to market and distribute the equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities.
1. Safety Requirements. All items proposed must comply with current applicable safety or regulatory standards or codes.
2. Deviation from Industry Standard. Deviations from industry standards must be identified with an explanation of how the equipment, products, and services will provide equivalent function, coverage, performance, and/or related services.
3. New Equipment and Products. Proposed equipment and products must be for new, current model; however, proposer may offer certain close-out equipment or products if it is specifically noted in the Pricing proposal.
4. Delivered and operational. Unless clearly noted in the proposal, equipment and products must be delivered to the Participating Entity as operational.
5. Warranty. All equipment, products, supplies, and services must be covered by a warranty that is the industry standard or better.

The term of any resulting contract(s) awarded by Sourcewell under this solicitation will be four years. Sourcewell and supplier may agree to up to three additional one-year extensions based on the best interests of Sourcewell and its Participating Entities. Sourcewell retains the right to consider additional extensions beyond seven years as required under exceptional circumstances.
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #011824
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Breathing Air Systems with Related Equipment
E. ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE AND USAGE
Based on past volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions from contracts resulting from this RFP are anticipated to be USD $30 Million; therefore, proposers are expected to propose volume pricing. Sourcewell anticipates considerable activity under the contract(s) awarded from this RFP; however, sales and sales volume from any resulting contract are not guaranteed.
F. MARKETING PLAN
Proposer’s sales force will be the primary source of communication with Participating Entities.
The proposer’s Marketing Plan should demonstrate proposer’s ability to deploy a sales force or dealer network to Participating Entities, as well as proposer’s sales and service capabilities. It is expected that proposer will promote and market any contract award.
G. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Contracts will be awarded to proposers able to best meet the need of Participating Entities. Proposers should submit their complete line of equipment, products, or services that are applicable to the scope of this RFP.
2. A proposer may submit only one proposal. If related, affiliated, or subsidiary entities elect to submit separate proposals, rather than a single parent-entity proposal, each such proposal must be prepared independently and without cooperation, collaboration, or collusion.
3. If a proposer works with a consultant on its proposal, the consultant (an individual or company) may not assist any other entity with a proposal for this solicitation.
4. Proposers should include all relevant information in its proposal, since Sourcewell cannot consider information that is not included in the proposal. Sourcewell reserves the right to verify proposer’s information and may request clarification from a proposer, including samples of the proposed equipment or products.
5. Depending upon the responses received in a given category, Sourcewell may need to organize responses into subcategories in order to provide the broadest coverage of the requested equipment, products, or services to Participating Entities. Awards may be based on a subcategory.
6. A proposer’s documented negative past performance with Sourcewell or its Participating Entities occurring under a previously awarded Sourcewell contract may be considered in the evaluation of a proposal.
III. PRICING
A. REQUIREMENTS
All proposed pricing must be:
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #011824
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Breathing Air Systems with Related Equipment
1. Either Line-Item Pricing or Percentage Discount from Catalog Pricing, or a combination of these:
a. Line-item Pricing is pricing based on each individual product or services. Each line must indicate the proposer’s published “List Price,” as well as the “Contract Price.” b. Percentage Discount from Catalog or Category is based on a percentage discount from a catalog or list price, defined as a published Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the products or services. Individualized percentage discounts can be applied to any number of defined product groupings. Proposers will be responsible for providing and maintaining current published MSRP with Sourcewell, and this pricing must be included in its proposal and provided throughout the term of any contract resulting from this RFP.
2. The proposer’s not to exceed price. A not to exceed price is the highest price for which equipment, products, or services may be billed to a Participating Entity. However, it is permissible for suppliers to sell at a price that is lower than the contracted price.
3. Stated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (as applicable).
4. Clearly understandable, complete, and fully describe the total cost of acquisition (e.g., the cost of the proposed equipment, products, and services delivered and operational for its intended purpose in the Participating Entity’s location).
Proposers should clearly identify any costs that are NOT included in the proposed product or service pricing. This may include items such as installation, set up, mandatory training, or initial inspection. Include identification of any parties that impose such costs and their relationship to the proposer. Additionally, proposers should clearly describe any unique distribution and/or delivery methods or options offered in the proposal.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Proposers awarded a contract are expected to pay to Sourcewell an administrative fee in exchange for Sourcewell facilitating the resulting contracts. The administrative fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the total sales to Participating Entitiesfor all contracted equipment, products, or services made during a calendar quarter, and is typically one percent (1%) to two percent (2%). In some categories, a flat fee may be an acceptable alternative.
IV. CONTRACT
Proposers awarded a contract will be required to execute a contract with Sourcewell (see attached template). Only those modifications the proposer indicates in its proposal will be available for discussion. Much of the language in the Contract reflects Minnesota legal requirements and cannot be altered. Numerous and/or onerous exceptions that contradict Minnesota law may result in the proposal being disqualified from further review and evaluation.
Rev. 3/2022 Sourcewell RFP #011824
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Breathing Air Systems with Related Equipment
To request a modification to the template Contract, a proposer must submit the Exceptions to Terms, Conditions, or Specifications table with its proposal. Only those exceptions noted at the time of the proposal submission will be considered.
Exceptions must:
1. Clearly identify the affected article and section.
2. Clearly note the requested modification; and as applicable, provide requested alternative language.
Unclear requests will be automatically denied.
Only those exceptions that have been accepted by Sourcewell will be included in the contract document provided to the awarded supplier for signature.
If a proposer receives a contract award resulting from this solicitation it will have up to 30 days to sign and return the contract. After that time, at Sourcewell’s sole discretion, the contract award may be revoked.
V. RFP PROCESS
A. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE
Sourcewell will hold an optional, non-mandatory pre-proposal conference via webcast on the date and time noted in the Solicitation Schedule for this RFP and on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.

Legal document please do not destroy! Page 1409 of 2077 Missouri
After capping the regular
season with a rout of Arkansas, the only thing Missouri can do now is wait to see how
the committee maps out the
New Year’s Six. In specific,
the Tigers are keeping tabs on
how they compare to one
team in particular, Ole Miss,
since the Rebels are the other
two-loss SEC team in the mix
to join the loser of Georgia
and Alabama in one of these
major bowls. Good news:
Missouri landed at No. 9 for
the third week in a row while
the Rebels moved up two
spots to No. 11. Barring a late
change of heart from the
committee, the Tigers will
find a home in the New Year’s
Six slate.
Loser
The Group of Five
The committee continues to include No. 21 Tennessee, for some reason, has brought No. 23 Clemson back into the rankings and placed Kansas State at No. 25
after the Wildcats’ defensive meltdown in a loss to
Iowa State. (That they stayed in the rankings is more
good news for Missouri.) Doing so has come at the cost
of overlooking a number of deserving teams from the
Group of Five conferences, beginning with SMU. Other
teams with an argument include Toledo, which lost a
close one to Illinois in September but has been rolling since, and Troy, winners of nine in a row.
The stage has been set. With conference championships to come, the penultimate College Football Playoff rankings continue to center on the eight teams
with any hope of reaching the national semifinals.
Now we wait.
No. 1 Georgia plays No. 8 Alabama for the SEC championship. No. 3 Washington has a rematch with No. 5 Oregon to decide the final Pac-12 champion. No. 2
Michigan plays No. 16 Iowa to decide the Big Ten. No. 4 Florida State looks to win the ACC and complete an
unbeaten regular season against No. 14 Louisville.
At some point after midnight on Sunday, we’ll know
exactly what teams the committee will unveil atop the
final rankings. Barring an unexpected barrage of upsets, the playoff will put forth perhaps the most starstudded, accomplished field in the history of the fourteam format.
Here are the winners and losers from the secondto-last playoff rankings of the year:
Winners
The top five (and No. 8)
While the race for the national semifinals does go
eight teams deep, only six members of this elite group
can say the following: win and we’re in. This begins
with Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida
State, presenting the committee with the chance to put
forth an undefeated-only playoff field. Oregon is also
in with a win against the Huskies. But you can’t make
the same case for No. 6 Ohio State and No. 7 Texas,
which will need help to crack the top four – the Buckeyes in particular. Then there’s No. 8 Alabama, which didn’t budge in the rankings after a miraculous Iron
Bowl win against Auburn and can make a late-in-theday leap with an SEC championship.
Liberty
That SMU didn’t land in the rankings despite completing an unbeaten run through American play qualifies as good news for No. 24 Liberty. It’s been a banner, borderline unforgettable year under new coach Jamey
Chadwell, who inherited one heck of a foundation
from current Auburn coach Hugh Freeze and led the
Flames to a perfect march into the Conference USA
championship game against New Mexico State. Beating the Aggies for the second time this season would move the needle for the committee, especially after
New Mexico State went into Auburn this month and
dealt Freeze’s new team an epically embarrassing 21-
point defeat. But don’t look for the good news to continue: Liberty won’t move ahead of Tulane should the Green Wave take home another AAC crown and will
almost certainly be leapfrogged in the final rankings
by SMU should the Mustangs score the win.
PLAYOFF RANKINGS WINNERS AND LOSERS
Committee’s top five and Liberty get good news

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is requesting proposals for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and Breathing Air Systems with Related Equipment to result in a contracting solution
for use by its Participating Entities.
Sourcewell Participating Entities include thousands
of governmental, higher education, K-12 education,

agencies located in the United States and Canada.
A full copy of the Request for Proposals can be
found on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal

Only proposals submitted through the Sourcewell

Proposals are due no later than January 18, 2024, at 4:30 p.m.

Joy Yancey and Amaya Yancey
and Amile Sharpe Age of Majority
This announcement is to notify the
nation and to inform the public that
Joy Olanda Yancey and Amaya
Lanea Yancey and Amile Sharpe
have reached the age of majority.
Lets celebrate their freedom.
Eight teams are in the mix for the College Football
Playoff, and there are a number of ways things could
unfold over the final weekend of the regular season,
from ho-hum predictable to burn-it-all-down chaos.
Can Ohio State get back into the playoff?
A year ago, Ohio State lost to Michigan by 22 points
but still backdoored into the playoff and nearly upset
Georgia in the Peach Bowl. The landscape this year is
dramatically different, leaving the Buckeyes with a
narrow avenue for a top-four finish but there is a way:
Georgia beats Alabama. That takes the Crimson
Tide out of the equation.
Michigan beats Iowa. An Iowa win would make the
Buckeyes the third-place team from the Big Ten, an
easy disqualifier for the committee.
Washington beats Oregon. Losing the rematch
would knock the Ducks out of contention.
Louisville beats Florida State. This upset would
be the biggest piece of the puzzle for Ohio State.
Oklahoma State beats Texas. This would hand the
Longhorns a second loss.
This scenario would leave unbeaten Georgia, Michigan and Washington as the top three seeds. The fourth spot would come down to five nonconference champions: one-loss teams in Ohio State and Florida State and two-loss teams in Oregon, Alabama and Texas.
The argument would then settle on the Buckeyes
and Seminoles. This is a debate that would favor Ohio
State, the top-ranked team in the playoff rankings for
multiple weeks and the close runner-up in one of the
two best leagues in the FBS.
There’s even a chance Ohio State would reach the
top four if all the above occurs but Oregon beats Washington, leaving a comparison between the Buckeyes and Huskies. But that’s one that might lean toward
UW because of a high-quality resume, an appearance
in the conference championship game and the fact the
Huskies topped the Ducks earlier in the year.
Does Georgia get in with a loss to Alabama?
It’s hard to say. For one, the Bulldogs would become
the second-ranked team from the SEC, and we know
this year’s field may be too jammed to include multiple teams from a single league. There’s no doubt the Bulldogs would have a case at 12-1, under one condition:
that Michigan is the only unbeaten Power Five team.
In other words, as above, Louisville beats Florida State and Oregon beats Washington. With a win against
Oklahoma State, Texas would secure a spot due in
large part to this year’s win against the Crimson Tide.
Plugging the Wolverines, Alabama and the Longhorns into the field would leave Georgia in competition with Ohio State and one-loss teams from the Pac-12
and ACC.
We believe Georgia would be picked ahead of Ohio
State; the Bulldogs were ahead in the playoff rankings
when both were unbeaten and had identical records,
and should then remain in front with one additional
win and a division crown. The Bulldogs would also
come in ahead of Florida State with room to spare.
That would leave the comparison with the one-loss
winner of the Pac-12. It would be a very difficult decision: Oregon has been dominant and would have avenged an earlier loss to Washington.
This could be the most difficult choice of the fourteam era. Would the committee take a Power Five champion with a resume that warrants a top-four finish and leave the two-time defending national champions on the outside? Does Florida State need to be nervous?
Not really. Every unbeaten Power Five team has
made the playoff during the format’s existence, so
there’s no legitimate reason for concern as long as
Florida State takes care of business against Louisville.
Um, almost no reason for concern. With the possibility of being compared to one-loss Georgia and Texas should Alabama win the SEC championship, the Seminoles could stand to beat Louisville with some style to prove they can thrive without quarterback Jordan Travis and to put the committee at ease. Florida State backup Tate Rodemaker completed 12 of 25 attempts
for 134 yards in Saturday’s close win against Florida,
which finished with a losing record.
What are five possible playoff fields?
No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Washington,
No. 4 Florida State. This is the dream scenario for the committee: four unbeaten Power Five champions and
no reason for any real debate. While the unbeaten
teams could hold serve in conference championship
games and leave a no-doubt top four, the committee
has never gotten this lucky before.
No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Washington,
No. 4 Texas. There’s some chaos after Florida State
loses to Louisville, leaving a path for Texas to claim a top-four finish. In this scenario, the Longhorns would
win the debate against the second-place teams from
the Big Ten and Pac-12.
No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Washington, No. 3 Texas,
No. 4 Alabama. Two Power Five unbeatens and then
Texas and the Crimson Tide, with the Longhorns landing ahead because of the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Georgia gets squeezed here because of the loss to Alabama in the SEC championship game and the fact that Alabama can’t reach the top four without one-loss
Texas also making the field.
No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Oregon, No. 4
Texas. The Ducks top Washington and Louisville
beats FSU, dumping the Huskies and Seminoles from
the conversation. Alabama is out due to the loss to
Georgia and the Longhorns easily leapfrog Ohio State
thanks to one more win, the victory against the Tide
and the conference championship.
No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Oregon, No. 4
Georgia. Michigan beats Iowa. Alabama beats Georgia. Oregon beats Washington. Louisville beats FSU.
Oklahoma State beats Texas. While there’s no way to
get Ohio State into the top four, this would represent
one of the most star-studded playoff groups in history.
