CFP has said CCG losses won't hurt teams. They will deliberately place ASU at 13, so they don't have to break the rule

Crazy Joe Davola Truly Addicted User

I think they mean overly penalize.

I think they want to avoid that conversation and ensure B12 only gets 1 and not have their own rule dissected

Nope they are simply home games for the hosting team. But playoff games.

Bad precedent to let teams w/ 3 losses & not conf champ into 12 team playoff

Rexy Coug

8:31am

I think it’s a precedent we should have expected and that we should get used to.

I do expect it but think it’s bad for football to lose 3 games and still get in

It's one thing if it's 3 Top 25 losses. This isn't that.
