I don’t wanna jinx anything but

Eliminate the committee and bring back the BCS rankings and allow that ranking system to sort it and take the top 12 teams. No AQs, top 12 only.
someone does a BCS poll after the CFP or same day the CFP rankings get released, you'd be surprised how they are similar.. be interesting to see how it looks next Sunday though.
Ok…so you blame Texas for FSU being left out last year, correct?


Where is all these people who cried last year that Texas HAD to stay ahead of Alabama last year despite Alabama having a MUCH stronger resume and being the better football team in December? Very hypocritical
i don't know about HAD to stay but head to head has to matter.. and you can't punish schools who actually sign up to play another solid team.. they both also won their conferences..
No idea what that is supposed to mean, but why would you blame Texas? Bama was the 4th seed
He probably feels Bama should have been the 3rd seed?

Exactly. Btw…I said last year Alabama had to stay behind Texas because Texas beat us and this year I will say Alabama has to stay ahead of South Carolina because we beat them.

oh if this is about Bama and SCe, yes I think Bama would get in over them (and I do think they get in).. I think SCe is one of the hottest teams in CFB and I wouldn't want to play them right now because they are full of confidence and are very physical up front with a flawed QB..who has an actual clutch gene (unlike Reed from aggy).

Bama over SCe.. yes it happened earlier in the season but they won.. and won it legit..not the tampering LSU got from the refs to beat SCe either.
 
These are Penn State's opponents and their records. One win against a currently ranked team. Thank goodness for Bowling Green and Minnesota or that would have been the only win against an opponent with a winning record.

@ West Virginia (6-6)
Bowling Green (7-5)
Kent State (0-12)
Illinois (9-3)
UCLA (5-7)
@USC (6-6)
@Wisconsin (5-7)
Washington (6-6)
@Purdue (1-11)
@Minnesota (7-5)
Maryland (4-8)
Oh my GOSH! That's pathetic.
 
I agree and admit that in the past Id have to admit and agree that 2-3 maybe at best 4 teams was plenty as most others just didn’t have the talent and depth to really be considered a contender but now, with the NIL , player eligibility being extended and portal being factors.. things are just different.
I’ll still believe that the same blue blood types will end up winning it when it’s all said n done until I’m proven wrong but still, the road leading up to that happening in the end should be wildly entertaining.
Who the 12 are may still have an element of being decided in a smoke filled backroom to some extent. Once in a team that wins 3-4 games in a row proved they deserved it on the field multiple times as well as the backroom.

Champions were #s 4, 2, 2, 4, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 1, 30% of the champs probably wouldn't have been in the BCS final.
Runner ups were #s 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 3, 1, 3, 2 40% wouldn't have been able to win a semifinal game.

We'll see how many 5-12 teams win a game(s). Not many #64 seeds have beaten #1 seeds in March Madness so the likelihood of #12 seeds winning in the CFP is probably remote. But many, many 5+ seeds have made a lot of noise in March Madness.

IIRC Bama and Texas both got into the CFP last year. And they committee did honor the head to head by seeding Texas #3 and Bama #4.
 
Oh my GOSH! That's pathetic.
I agree but the CFP committee doesn't see it the way you and I do...and the way a whole lot of other people do. Want to guess where Penn State will be ranked with that resume?
 
No offense to Bama, but they don't need to be in the playoffs any more than South Carolina does. There are plenty of other teams that deserve to get blasted by Texas, Oregon, or Boise in the quarters.

But they will get in, and they'll win a close game versus a team like Arizona State or Indiana in the first round, and everybody will go "see? They belong!"

Depends on how they do vs. Oregon. If they win, they'll be top 3. If they lose, they'll drop no further than 8.
 
South Carolina deserves it more.
 
Oh... I'm sure some heads would explode. But, Bama does not belong in these playoffs. I want to earn it, not back door my way in there. I'm still scratching my head about losing to Vandy & Oklahoma.

They have to field 12 teams. There are gonna be years where a team or two who in no way deserve to be there get in because there aren’t 12 competent teams.

That's what I think. They'll keep them in the top eight so they can host a first round game.
 
I don't think so. Bama may creep into this week's playoff bracket, but they'll be leapfrogged after next week's conference championship games.

IMO, that's a good thing. This Bama team's entirely too inconsistent and I believe would be embarrassed early in the playoffs. They'd be better off accepting an also-ran bowl and calling this season a wash.
If they creep in this week, how would Clemson losing to SMU keep them out?

I can see plenty of scenarios where they aren't in this week and championship week continues to keep them out, or puts them in, but damn few where they are in this week and championship game week keeps them out, especially with a Clemson loss.
 
I'd be surprised if Miami dropped behind Alabama, which should keep Bama out.
