Breaking College Football Playoff Selection

No. ND and Miami should be in.

Getting tea bagged on national tv used to mean something - it doesn’t anymore

I agree. If you re-read my post, I was effectively saying Miami and Bama is better than ND and Bama, which is what I thought would happen.

I don’t care a whole lot in the comparison between Miami and ND; they both earned it more than Bama. That’s where my axe to grind lies.

Ohio State basically had to play a road game in the QF if A&M beats Miami.

Due to bowl tie ins, the alternative was to send them to the Orange Bowl. Where they would have had to play a road game if Miami beat A&M.

Tough road for the 2 seed.

So I guess the game last night did mean something. Had they won, it’d be the Rose Bowl.

Hear me out:

12 conferences of 10 teams organized by region

Winner of each conference goes to the playoff

What about 16 conferences with 8 teams and an 11 game regular season schedule…

Do “bowl” matchups with all of the other teams. 2s play each other, 3s play, etc.

I’m just super jacked to watch OU/Bama, again.

I am more excited to watch Tulane and Ole Miss again! Can’t wait to see if the Wave can lose by less than the 35 they lost by the first time!

Those nerds couldn’t at least drop bama down to 10
and have them play a&m instead.

that's 2-3x more teams than need to be involved

Why do these teams Tulane and Alabama deserve a second chance at a team that already beat them earlier this year? Especially raw deal for OU. Ole Miss be like… “ok, I’ll hit that thing again”

This is a conference championship game where only 2 teams earn there way into that game. No committee involved whatsoever. Playoffs are different. You don’t have to rematch teams, yet they choose to have 2 rematch games? WTF?

Lane will probably send everything he can to Tulane out of spite.

Can we just go back to the BCS?

Definitely but then you’re talking about kicking teams out, and I don’t know how that works

I’d happily take this alignment

New 'Super League' college football realignment proposal would create...regional conferences!

All is quiet on the college football conference realignment front. But that doesn't mean there aren't ideas on the table.

Also there should be a “draft” in th spring where teams pick their non conference opponents. Would be an exciting day for the sport similar to the NFL draft

I mean, it’s about what you want. Rematches in the NFL happen all the time. Divisional teams always play twice each year. Sometimes a third time in the playoffs.

I don’t mind rematches, including the OU Bama rematch. Tulane has no business being in though.

But do you want NFL light or do you want something more unique? If the latter, scrap the playoff all together and go back to the pre-BCS bowl game format. Let polls decide the Mythical National Championship. Of course that will never happen due to money, but if we’re going to have a playoff, there will be rematches. If you want a playoff, you need to accept that.

Would anyone have cared if Oregon was playing Tulane and Ole Miss playing JMU? I can’t remember where they were ranked. Guess it doesn’t really matter both are gonna get worked either way.

You mean like when Nebraska got tea bagged by Colorado and still made the national championship game?

We did take nonstop heat from the media for that the entire month leading up to the game, fwiw.

Haha Nebraska got in because of multiple conf championship upsets. If that was Alabama’s only loss then of course no one would care if they were in the playoff, genius !

Your posting reminds me of Dan Campbell going for it on 4th down

Five SEC teams in! CFB is as fake as the WWE brother!
