  1. This x 100
  2. So which ND win is better than Georgia? Or Vanderbilt?
  3. Logic is not @Incredulity's strong suit
  4. Did I remember wrong? Did they or did they not drop a single place? A team that wasn't in the field before the CCG still not being in the field after the CCG is not being "punished." Scandalous? My man, you're normally a much better poster than this. If they hadn't released rankings at all until the final one, you'd be only 10% as pissy.
  5. How did they punish UVA? UVA wasn't in the field prior to the championship game. They had to play themselves in. They didn't.
  6. Bama has better wins. Much better. ND is hanging their hat on "good losses." Every playoff ranking has often come down to who you beat. ND beat no one of relevance. I'm not a Bama fan. ND, Bama, Miami, BYU - I can see arguments for all. But not punishing a team for playing in their CCG that was in the rankings before said CCG seems fine to me.
  7. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure BYU fell only one spot for losing their CCG, same as Ohio State. So how is that "punishing" them?
  8. If the SEC lobbied for one full member over another full member?
  9. Because the ACC should have lobbied for ND, a partial member, over Miami, a full member. Obviously.
  10. Listen, I hope you're right. ND's holier than thou attitude is bullshit. That new agreement that says they have to get in the playoff if ranked in the top 12 (which, had that taken effect this year, means they would have bumped Miami) is even further horseshit.
  11. Great insight. Here, my point is simple: I've never seen big time college brands do anything that doesn't get them more money, so I am skeptical they would do so now. Even if Texas didn't want to schedule ND, I have no doubt second-level teams like Aggy, Auburn, Tennessee, etc. would.
  12. Also, to clarify: I'd love for ND to get fucked. I just don't see it happening.
  13. See my last post
  14. I feel like the B1G eventually would. They've listed over ND for eternity, and they'd welcome the little bump they'd get from having ND guaranteed on their TV deal 6 times a year.
  15. But would ticket prices be higher for those G5 teams, or for ND? Would the season ticket package be higher for a schedule that had ND instead of a G5? *To be clear, I recognize that the actual difference is small relative to the entire athletic budget, but I have seen essentially no blue blood or other big program take any step that doesn't attempt to squeeze very dime out of the system that it can.
  16. I mean sure, in theory, but B1G and SEC bluebloods absolutely will keep scheduling ND because a home and home with ND is a cash bonanza.
  17. It was quite the ride
  18. Holy necro-bump, Batman
  19. And yet you're completely aware of the rules which have existed for two years now that state that the five highest ranked conference champs get in.
  20. That problem is more with the dumbass ways oversized conferences use tie breakers to determine championship game qualifiers. Miami is clearly better than Duke.
  21. Because those are the rules of selection, as has been known for a couple of years now?
  22. So to be clear, you're now flipping your prior stance and saying that, objectively, Florida is in fact a worse loss than Louisville. Got it, thanks.
  23. ??? Miami has one less loss than you. Plus, Louisville is 8-4. Florida is 4-8. Even if you give Florida credit for an extra couple wins because SEC SEC SEC this argument is still bankrupt.
