Jesus. the ACC may not the be the strongest football conference, but no need to attack it like that.

Playoff appearances by team
Alabama and Clemson - 6
Oklahoma and Ohio State -4
Notre Dame - 2
Florida State, Oregon, Michigan State, Washington, Georgia, LSU - 1
So of the 28 available playoff spots, 20 have gone to 4 teams. That’s 72% of playoff spots to Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, or Oklahoma after 7 years.
That was meant more to rag the golden domers than the ACC...but now that I read it I can see the ACC attack.

Why not both?
Also a rather telling stat. And that drunk bird must think that 28% is enough "swapped out" for it to be only Bama Fatigue.

Only the first playoff had 2 of those teams, the other six and 3 of them.
Yeah, on second thought it should be.
But in Notre Dame's defense, there are several teams that could benefit from a set up like Notre Dame has...i.e. Conferemce members in other sports but independent in football.

Dude:
A list of who has made it:
LSU
Georgia
Oklahoma
Washington
Oregon
FSU
Michigan State
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Clemson
Alabama
That's 11 different teams in 7 years and nobody has made it every year and only Alabama and Clemson have only missed once. I'm not sure what else you want the playoff to accomplish.
Auburn had their shot and blew it.
TCU & Baylor both had a shot and blew it.
Multiple PAC teams have blown it (you can thank Auburn).
You can make an argument that UCF got screwed in 2017 but they wouldn't have won it all so it's a moot argument at best.
It's really simple if you are a P5 program then win your games and you are in.

I don't know that it's Bama fatigue specifically, but they're part of it.
I think a lot of it is that it's the same few teams every year. You have occasional outliers like LSU. But generally speaking, I think we can all name who we think will be in the playoff next year and there would be almost unanimous agreement on at least 3 of the 4.

No it isn't. When you have 5 P5 conferences and only 4 spots available, it's not as simple as win your games and you're in.

Try it and then cry if it doesn’t work.

I'll leave the crying to you. You're better at it.
You probably should leave the math to those us who know that you can't fit 5 teams into 4 spots.

I don't see it that way. The ones that are going to get totally screwed are the G5 who find a diamond in the rough who then moves onto the P5. See, Buffalo's star RB who is in the portal. The G5 will rue the day that legislation gets passed. Any P5 that go to play in the G5 didn't pan out, or were attitude problems, with a few exceptions here and there.
The Top Tier recruiters will certainly lose some 5*, but mostly because they turned out not to be 5*. This is the most common scenario. UF took Shorter and Lingard, both 5*. Neither had played well at their previous schools. Neither started at UF, Lingard is talking about changing positions. Cox was a 5* who went from UGA to UF, and while he played at UGA wouldn't have been a starter, and had some attitude issues. To his and UF's credit, he appears to have matured at UF, and while he wasn't a star, he played well enough. For the most part, the top players moving didn't pan out.
The real winners will be:
(1) crappy recruiters like Mullen, who will fill in with transfers;
(2) the 7-20 level recruiting teams who can fill rosters with cast offs from lower and higher teams looking for PT
(3) and the top recruiting teams who will get to fill their gaps with proven players.
The top winners are the players who get to do what the coaches do ... move on when things don't work out or have a better shot elsewhere.

Agreed, plus that's a stupid argument ... win most of your game, you aren't in. Win your games but your conference is perceived to be weak - sorry PAC - and you aren't in. The obvious way to get past this malaise, and what is coming is an 8 or 12 team playoff. It will be great for everyone.
USC and Auburn are two teams that would benefit greatly by an expanded CFP, IMO.
Still not enough variety for me. As soon as an Indiana, Arkansas or K-State type teams make it, then it will be true variety imo. And the (fill in the blank) had their chance, blah, blah, blah, don't matter. If they didn't make it they didn't make it.
And UCF didn't get screwed. As long as the criteria is "four best teams", the UCFs and Cincy's of the world are not getting screwed.
Finally someone seeing the same as me
I'm not suffering Bama fatigue.
Hopefully they win the next national championship.

in 2019 if Oregon hadnt lost to Arizona State they would have been in. if Utah woulndt have lost to Oregon in the Pac 12 title they would have been in. so get over the perception that the Pac is weak and has no chance. they just havent won their games because of the parity in the conference.
