If Georgia loses then no conference champion will have won a game in the CFP

Here’s an idea. 16 team playoff. Power 4 conferences get 3 auto bids. There will

You think the sec and big 10 will give the big 12 and acc 3 teams?

johnnybyu

4:33pm

Agreed. 12 is good. If it was 16 I would just think there's more Big Ten and sec

Agnostic-alumni

4:35pm

I don't think the Big 10 nor SEC goes for that. They think they should get 12 out of the 16.

If it were still 4 team BCS, semis would’ve been Oregon, Georgia, ND, and either

Rexy Coug

4:27pm

That is not correct. The Top 4 of the rankings were Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Penn State. That’s your 4.

TCuz

4:29pm

Since there’s no established criteria for who is selected and where they rank

Future_Tacos

4:31pm

They fabricate rankings for what they want. I doubt all 4 from SEC/B10 would go.

Rexy Coug

4:33pm

Notre Dame was not in the top 4.

kimdaddy35

4:31pm

I stand by my prediction

Rexy Coug

4:33pm

There is no prediction. We literally know what the BCS formula was. They would not have been in.

Apparently the path to the CFP final 4 is NOT a bye. ND is up 3 scores in 3rd

It’s a home game and ccg bye

I'm not sure that is a takeaway from this game. Georgia has moved the ball

Georgia lost their QB. Expect them to be down.

Their defense is good. But offensively they’re putrid

Uhh they won the SEC autobid

Salami Karate

Yeah but besides the auto bid, they wouldn’t be there

RealTaysomHill

The wouldn't have been in the SEC championship game and thus no auto bid.

BIG XII Coug

4:37pm

So UGA getting whooped means the SEC champ doesn’t deserve an autobid, right?

cougarmeister

4:21pm

It means they deserve 4 auto-bids (maybe 6). Keep up, man.

Someone remind me please why the SEC deserved more teams?

DizzyDean

So the bye is bad now? Right

stonecougar

4:20pm

Getting a bye for the ccg week then a home playoff game is better. ND and Ohio

johnnybyu

Hmmmm, maybe a bye for conference champs isn't a great idea. Looking like 0-4.

Benfica1

And ASU started off very slow (rusty)
