The College Football Playoff expanded this year to 12 teams. Did the equate, or did the college football world, take into account for if you have a situation where a team only has one loss, that coming in the playoffs but a 2 loss team wins the national championship or if the two teams in the national championship game lost to that undefeated team?

For example, Oregon entered the playoffs as the #1 team and undefeated. The Ducks beat Ohio State and Penn State, two playoff teams and two teams in the playoffs. The Ducks won the B1G which both Ohio State and Penn State are apart of. Oregon only suffered one loss, which came in the playoffs. They only got one game in the playoffs to play while the other two got an extra game.

What if Ohio State and Penn State played in the national championship game? Where does that put Oregon? A possible debate for a share of the national championship? I mean the Ducks beat both of them and potentially will have less losses than the winner. Penn State is 0-1 vs the Ducks and Ohio State would be 1-1. Seems this is a plausible scenario the CFB world forgot to iron out when they put together the bracket. Major flaw in their playoff ranking and bracket. Another reason the system needs a complete overhaul and revamp for next year and year's moving forward. We can't have this mistake happening again and we can't punish the #1 team in the country for going undefeated and winning their conference championship. No other sport have I seen such an asinine playoff ranking setup.

I take you back to most of our conference mates glory years and how many have national titles or shared national titles when something like this happened?

There's not going to be a shared national title.

This isn't the BCS where it was only 2 teams and 1 team arguably got screwed by the formula.

Oregon got beat down in a tournament, completely different.

OD is so fucking predictable, I've been saying for weeks he'd claim Oregon should still be the "true champion" if they lost because they were the only undefeated regular season team

Im simply asking a question on how this should be handled or would be handled that I don't think the powers that be took into account. Shining the light on a major flaw of how this 12 team playoff set up.
 
you are really showing your smartness now.

It's going to be handled by the team that wins the playoff being awarded the national title.

They might tweak the system in coming years but this year it is what it is and the winner is the winner.

A bracket clearly flawed.

I've never seen it where the best team and only unbeaten team gets the hardest path to the championship game, this isnt how playoff seeding works.
 
Tell me how Penn State who has 2 losses and lost in their conference championship game gets the easiest path to the national championship game? That doesn't make any sense to anyone who knows sports.

I hope there are writers out there who see the potential and vote Oregon #1 at playoffs end. I think doing so could shine the light on this flawed playoff setup. If there were a couple AP voters who voted Oregon #1 it would generate the discussion that badly needs to be discussed.

A few contrarian number one votes won’t do a thing. Nobody will even notice it unless it’s enough to actually crown a non playoff winner as AP champs

Oregon lost very badly in the Rose Bowl. MAYBE and it's even still a big stretch if they lost by 1 point on a last second FG they might get some run from some west coast AP tards for #1 but because they lost by 3 fucking TDs it's not even a thought,
 
There is no question that the top bracket was far tougher than the bottom, but at the same time, champions beat the teams ahead of them

Things aren’t always gonna be fair in sports, especially a sport like college football with ridiculously unbalanced schedules and 130 teams playing at the top level

In 2008, the 8-8 Chargers hosted a playoff game while the 11-5 Patriots missed out

Sheesh, this amount of cope is insane.

It's bracket play, bro. You lose, you are out. There is no voting at the end. Congrats on winning the pool play, i guess.
