CFP won't expand...

Seeding doesn't mean that much when you're only seeding 8 teams. Honestly, if it came to that, I'd sit down guys so they don't get hurt. What's the point in playing a guy like Fields, if you can still make the CFP? Just play him in conference games. 4 is the perfect number. Never has the 5th best ranked had a legit argument to make it. Teams like UGA, Oregon, Baylor and Wisconsin last year don't really deserve to play for a title.

If home field is at play, it is.

Ignoring the OSU's of the world, take a team like PSU.... They might win the conference and get the auto bid, but they would be more likely to not. So, if they play for an at large, they should try to schedule a big time ooc, plus another 15-25 range team. I'd rather watch that game than Akron.

I can see that making sense. I am just against conferences getting an automatic bid. The imbalance in schedules is too drastic for that to be allowed. Utah was one win away from making the CFP, and going into their last game against Oregon they had 0 wins against ranked teams. Meanwhile, there were a bunch of teams behind them(who IMO were better) like PSU, Auburn, Michigan, Wisconsin and UF who all have worse records simply because they play in better leagues that have better teams.

I really do think 4 teams is the best way to go. And I don't think the CFP has gotten it wrong yet as far as who should have gone. Honestly the biggest gripe is probably the CFP taking Washington over PSU in 2016.
 
The CFP is not about finding the best 4 teams. It has always been about ensuring the best 2 Teams have a shot at the National Title.

There is no reason to expand the playoff to find the top 2 teams all it will do is create more fatigue with extra brackets and give possibility for the shittier team to back into a position to win it all without actually being the best. Nah
 
PAC should get in the playoffs. They play half a season, so combine the best players from the top two teams.
 
Scott is simply stealing money at this point. There has never ever been a less effective sports commissioner in any league. And as bad as some of the MLB and NHL commissioners have been, that's a really, really low bar. He should be charged with theft.

If losing OOC games don't affect inclusion, they basically become exhibition games, and meaningless.

2/3s or 3/4s of OOC games are meaningless as it is. As example A I give you Texas vs My Miners this year. Only thing meanigful that came out of that game was we got a big paycheck. Same for Clem vs Citadel, etal.

My apologies. In 2020, any game that even gets played is a plus.

100% true. College football has no desire for Cinderella. Let her stay in hoops and other sports.

Chances of a Cinderella making through a two-game playoff are zero.

In the NFL a wildcard can absolutely win it all but that is a completely different game. You can make a run in college basketball and baseball but it won't happen in football too many weak points that can be exploited and you have to be sound all the way around to even have a shot.

There is a reason no team since BYU has sniffed the title that didn't have a top 10 recruiting class within 4 years of winning it. We know who has a shot before the first kickoff.

Give me one good reason why that they should?

After every P5 team has had 4 games I think most of us could come up with the 4 teams that should be there and wouldn't be off by much. There is a 90% chance Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State will be in the playoffs and whoever is 4th isn't going to shock the world and beat everyone else.

The group that possibly could get into the 4th spot:

Texas - If they are undefeated and if they get their shit straight and win out then they should be there (probably will drop a game and won't matter)
Florida - If they go undefeated in conference play they should be in even if they lose the SEC CG
Miami - They look like world beaters but let's see what they do against Clemson but it's a long shot.
Georgia - I don't think they get their shit together enough.
Oklahoma - A lot of teams have to lose in order to erase a home loss against Kansas State
Auburn - They have to run the table and not very probably with their schedule and issues
Miss State - The Dark Horse but if they perform as they did against LSU and come out of the season with say just one close loss to Alabama then they should get consideration. Not very probable though.

There isn't a PAC team strong enough to win it all in the playoffs so we shouldn't waste our time.

B1G - I'm not discounting someone else out of the B1G other than Ohio State could make a run like a Penn State or a Wisconsin but I just don't see it happening.

My best guess is you are looking at two SEC teams this year if Texas stumbles. If you expand to 6 you might get three if they didn't do something retarded like automatic conference champion bids (which is a waste of our time).

What if you have Bama and UGA each at 10-1 with the only losses to each other? UF at 10-1, only loss to Bama in SECCG? What about an ND that loses only to Clemson? Or a Miami that loses only to Clemson?

There are some real possibilities out there that unless the B12 gets their shit together could cause some problems for a 1 loss B12 champ. The losses and close wins against total crap teams isn't helping your cause. As a founding member of the Alpha 3, I'd like to see the B12 Champ get in.
 
I disagree with anyone that likes this.
