Breaking College Football Playoff Selection

Lmao we get an Ole Miss vs Tulane rematch like we needed to see that again.

Told ya so.

Alabama in and didn’t drop is a complete joke.

 

[Kaladin]

Miami is in

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

They almost got it right.

But Alabama being in is a lesser travesty than if Miami was left out in favor of Notre Dame.

I’m okay with it. Alabama beat one of the teams they lost to, and that has to count for something.

They can avenge another of their losses in the first round. If they do that, then they deserve to be in the quarterfinals.

I’d have had Miami 9, ND 10, but I do understand this.

this bracket is set up pretty well for the Big 10 to get 3 teams in the semis. Oregon has to love how this sets up for them

 

[Huskersballz]

What a boofy first round.

The upside of this is that regardless of whether Alabama, Miami, or Notre Dame got left out, at least one over-entitled fan base gets disappointed.

ESPN... Doing their part to destroy college football. We all better hope either OSU, Oregon, or IU take the crown as the "get half the SEC into the playoff" mantra is only gonna get worse. They are hyper regionalizing a sport whose "weakness" 20 years ago per the experts was that it was too regionalized.

James Madison and Tulane make the CFP before Nebraska.

It’s kind of funny how the committee initially had the rankings set up so ND would get in over Miami, but had their stupidity pointed out to them and very slowly moved Miami into position to squeak in, without any real reason other than they fucked it up to start.

Also, Cristobal should send Manny Diaz a strippergram. Think the commitee really did not want the ACC to get blanked.

Could not disagree more. Alabama was the least deserving team of the 3. Bama got waxed TWICE. ND lost to two CFP teams by a combined 4 points and could have won both games.

Bama should not get credit for beating GA in week 4 due to getting their shit packed in to them last night.

It’s honestly bullshit BYU drops after losing the CCG, and Bama didn’t. It’s not the same protocol.

Bama also has 2 better wins that ND has.

ND cornered the market on good losses but had trouble in the good wins category.

So you’d rather have ND and Bama than Miami and Bama?

I’ve never read anything so stupid

No. ND and Miami should be in.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

No. ND and Miami should be in.

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.
