Why play two when you can play 1?

Our pussy ass coach needs to run the score up in everyone next year. Not this all brakes no gas ass water he’s been doing.    Win losses matter >. JMU and Tulane are not fucking better than ND. Texas. Fucking anyone   Shut it all down portal season time 

He’s not going to do that though.

In fact, 1-4 didn't win a single game.

I get what you’re saying but technically Texas and PSU were ranked 3/4 in the last ranking. More evidence the bracket is fucktarded

If every team decides to not schedule tough non-conference games we end up in the same position anyway.

JMU or Tulane are gonna win just to fuck with peoples’ outrage lol.

Will be interesting to see how Ole Miss and Tulane plays out this time. The first time they played in Oxford the Rebels won by 35.  Now we have Lane in the Red Stick and Sumrall splitting time between programs.  

Thing that blows my mind the most about JMU beating Wazzu is that Washington State traveled from Pullam to play AT JMU.

Seriously, how bad has Wazzu's program sunk when they not only played Oregon State twice in regular season, but traveled to JMU and Denton to play UNT.

Doubtful but we can hope. Maybe Ole Miss without Lane slips up.

you misspelled irrelvant and boring

When was the last time 2 teams got their ass beat and dropped 1 spot?  That's fucking ridiculous.  It's debatable if BYU should even be ranked.

See those losses don’t matter, unlike other losses. It’s why there are 3 teams that are ranked above the team that beat their ass.
Ole Miss’ new coach looks like he just caught some tasty waves earlier

No we don't, because currently some teams are willing to play those game and some teams aren't. If every team goes that route then it's a much different position.

Agree, the only one of the first round games I have any interest in is Miami and the Ags in large part to see if Mario can once again fuck up the bird's nest on the ground he has been given in Miami.

No desire watching UO and JMU, no interest in Bama and OU, and none in Ole Miss and Tulane.

Agreed and when you listen to their games you get the bizarre contrast of what the broadcast crew are trying to convince you about the two teams and what you actually see on the field while they pla

Similar to when someone takes you to their favorite restaurant that they raved about they entire drive to and the food just sucks.

Just looked up the committee, they are 2 ex-Nebraska folks, Arkansas' AD, and over represented by middle Tennessee state caliber folks (Miami, Ohio, Nevada, MTSU).    No wonder they can't even follow their own criteria, they can't even fucking read.

Yeah, fuck that. You want to be part of the playoff, then join a fucking conference like everyone else. You might get your spot if you play for a conference championship. Otherwise, no special treatment for you.

Enjoy less practices idiots. At least the cameramen wont be at risk of death in December.

Why they played for a conference championship, we didn’t plus we had 3 regular season losses and they had 2

So did BYU.  And it appears it was THEIR loss that kept them out which if the committee had principles, they’d done the same to Bama.

This is so gross. Automatic entry ahead of a team they lost to on the field. The CFP keeps entrenching ND's unfair advantages to incentivize them to stay independent.

This is so pathetic. The CFP gave Alabama credit for beating Tennessee and Missouri because they were "ranked at various points in the year" despite being unranked in the final ratings.

The problem is if you put Miami in ahead of ND, why weren’t they ranked ahead of them in the previous reveals?

Because they were lazy and just went off polls.

Ok as somebody who feels very strongly that the best G5 team belongs in the playoffs I am still kind of blown away they put two of them in there. Was that really necessary? Especially as neither was unbeaten and combined for one top 25 win...against North Texas.

What the hell happened there? They just didn't want to touch the Notre Dame vs. Texas vs. BYU thing. Lame.

Literally a week ago they said Vandy didn't have a signature win because Tennessee dropped out of the top 25...which was a result of their 21 point loss to Vandy

Duke did this, the rules say “five highest ranked conference champions.”  By beating VA for the ACC with five losses, that meant two G5 leagues got a bid.

The committee was required to select the five highest-ranked conference champions. Since the ACC's conference champion was unranked Duke, they had to pick up an extra G6 champion.

How often are the conferences able to push for changes to the playoffs? I know changes were made to seedings for this year. Was that just good timing or do they reevaluate after every season

James Madison is in because the ACC was awful. That's not the committee's fault and it's not the rules' fault. Top 5 conference champions is a decent rule. 

Also, James Madison will get killed but they're probably also better than UVA and Duke. None of the 3 are among the best 25 teams in the country, though.

yep.  the loss column "barrier" shrinks as the season progresses.  you can drop 10 spots for taking your first loss when everyone is 3-0.

When you all start realizing the problem is the people in the room, then you’ll stop asking rational, logical questions. 

 

The committee is made up of ADs and former coaches. 95% of ADs and former coaches are just boneheaded adult frat bro idiots who have no idea what logic, policy, and critical analysis really means. They just know “Alabama is Alabama so they must be good” and “Texas has a 3 in that column and no one else does so not good.”

This is also part of the problem. 

That ND got shut out of the playoffs, then threw an incredibly stupid shit fit about it, pleases me more than Texas getting locked out in favor of a large number of teams we would clearly beat upsets me.

Mostly because a Texas vs Michigan Citrus Bowl is going to get far, far better TV ratings than most of these playoff games. 

And Texas and Notre Dame getting locked out guarantees expansion.

there should have been same rule that was used in the BCS bowls used in CFP and that was you had to be top 16 as a non power conference team to be in

no, they didn't want to rank Duke over JMU.  I was actually hoping for that for the lulz.
