Curious how the CFP would handle this

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.

This playoff was set up like every bracket playoff is set up. Is there a vote at the end of march madness? No, the last team standing is the champ regardless of record.

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.

The AP is not part of the CFP committee. The championship isn't decided by voters anymore. The AP hasn't been part of the process since 2004.

AP BACKS OUT OF BCS

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.

Ohio State is now 4-1 vs playoff teams. If they win it all, they will be 6-1.

I figured the talk today would be all about how the higher ranked teams who have the bye in the first round are at a disadvantage. Guess I have to wait for that to start up.

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.

See this is the flaw of the CFP bracket. I have never seen the #1 overall seed get the hardest schedule to the championship game. It doesn't work that way.

In what world does Penn State get the easiest path to the national title game for losing 2 games in a season? This sets up a precedent where teams either opt out of their conference championship or just throw the game because they start playing the regular season/ccg for seeding purposes in the playoff.

Bracket play is supposed to be set up where the best team gets the best spot in the bracket.

Just need some writers out there to put a spotlight on this terribly flawed system. Simply 3-4 votes would raise eyebrows and get the conversation going.

Well then you aren't paying any attention. It isn't uncommon for the #1 overall seed to get a team that is really hot. Happens all the times in every sport with a playoff bracket.

I figured the calling for the AP to split the natty would come after the NCG

The bye teams having a disadvantage are like the narrative that the MLB wild card round winners had the advantage over the teams that had a bye in DS. That narrative got pretty well destroyed this season
 
Remember during the season, @OregonDucks you kept telling the folks here that the rent was due. Would you have accepted partial rent? Now come on OD, you don't want a partial championship, do you?

Perhaps the flaw was the Oregon schedule that allowed them to go undefeated until they faced a tough team.

Interesting who that 1 loss was to. Oregon is also 3-1 vs playoff teams and 2-1 against playoff teams still alive.

Something is missing

This is retarded, even for you. It makes them a team that can’t win games when they matter most. It’s no different than if an NFL team beats a conference rival twice in the regular season and then lose to them in the playoffs. Let me give you some sage advice my dad gave me when I was a wee lad: “Don’t complain; Play better”

Was the system flawed before or after they scraped Gabriel's ass off the field? Oh wait, I just got word. They are still scraping his ass off the field. Job will be done by Sunday.

You really think Ohio State was the #8 seed? Ohio State should've been a 4 seed.

Ohio State and Penn State had to win to advance to the next round. The teams with byes had massive rest advantages

Oregon had an easier path than either because Oregon didn’t have to play a game to reach the quarters like OSU and PSU did
 
ITT OD wishes someone else would have beat all the hard teams so they could win a natty.

Then why couldn't the #1 seed beat the #4 seed?

They shouldn't have played game 1 of the playoff. Nice that the #8 seed got to break in the playoff with a home game first before playing a team that had a month off

So the excuse is a lack of preparation. Cool.
