During the Louisville Clemson game last night they were talking about playoff

Stupid if true.

RGGeemer

Nov 3, 1:38pm

Yeah the announcers mentioned it multiple times and really tried to drive that

bigbossbyu

Nov 3, 1:42pm

Announcers are mostly novices to the process just as we are

I'm hoping it's like the basketball tournament committee. All should be resume

RGGeemer

Nov 3, 1:44pm

Well it’s not.

According to some

Heinz57

Nov 3, 1:38pm

That mentality doesn’t hurt us at all if we win out

2FarGone

Nov 3, 1:39pm

It does. If we win out we should get the 2 or 3 seed, but will end up with the 4

I doubt they actually know.

That’s what the committee did with the 4 team “playoff”. But it’s really stupid

Powerbait DPM

Nov 3, 1:46pm

Unfortunately, they were right. The SEC is by far the best conference

Nikomedes

Nov 3, 1:50pm

They were wrong, because championships, playoffs, even sports in general aren’t about who is theoretically better. It’s

mvtoro

Nov 3, 2:44pm

Exactly! With the mentality of the committee Why even play the game, let’s just

This. We didn’t see Rocky handing over the title to the Russian even though he..

This has been true, NIL and transfer portal seems to have evened things out

Projectoor

Nov 3, 2:49pm

Doesn’t feel that way with how bad the big 12 seems to be

Nov 3, 4:32pm

How bad is the big 12? The last place team beat a middle of the road sec team.

It’s often hard to tell because they never play the other conferences

Let's replay the world series. Dodgers vs Padres, because those were the 2...

That has literally been the job of the committee every single year since it started. This is not new.

TCuz

Nov 3, 1:46pm

The equation is too heavy on media value.

AltTabbins

Nov 3, 3:31pm

Literally not a factor.

TCuz

Nov 3, 3:33pm

It literally is. FSU and Liberty were undefeated last year and were not selected.

AltTabbins

Nov 3, 3:40pm

Oh yah, Florida State being excluded proves they are thinking about media value LOL

TCuz

Nov 3, 3:41pm

so.. about that.

AltTabbins

Nov 5, 5:25pm

Win remaining games by 25+ points each. Power to BYU!

Tell that to Kalani

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Nov 3, 2:11pm

They were talking about conference championship games and how the committee

Lance71

Nov 3, 2:01pm

Yes, and I’m sure the committee saying that applies more to a 2 loss SEC/Ohio St

bigbossbyu

Nov 3, 2:15pm

The 4 highest ranked conference champions get a 1-4 seed and a bye.

AlternateShot

Nov 3, 3:16pm

Edit: Never mind, I was wrong.

AltTabbins

Nov 3, 3:37pm

This is 100% wrong, he was correct.

AltTabbins

Nov 3, 3:46pm

I was wrong. I didn't realize the 4 spots weren't guaranteed by being in a P4. Its open to all conferences. My bad.

AltTabbins

Nov 3, 3:48pm

Humans Making decisions about 100s of millions of $. Bias is alive and well.

Recipefordisaster

Nov 3, 3:53pm

Would you prefer they use the old BCS to select the teams?

TCuz

Nov 3, 3:56pm

Simply stating the bias is real and alive. All any team can truly do is win.

Nov 3, 4:57pm

Strength of Record is supposed to be a huge indicator, and BYU's SOR is ranked 3

Dwide_Schrude

Nov 3, 3:56pm

Where can I find this? And how does Strength of Record differ from

squidmark

Strength of record is your resume, strength of schedule is how difficult

It should always be the most deserving. Not “best”

Boring

Nov 3, 4:32pm

The 12 best teams are the 12 most deserving.

IronPotato

Nov 3, 4:44pm

2 loss teams obviously aren't the best teams. Bama, out. LSU, out. The teams

IronPotato

Nov 3, 4:59pm

I wish I knew what the difference was between “best” and “most deserving”

Nov 3, 6:17pm

It’s just a shady version of the “eye test” argument

puntersarepeople

Nov 3, 8:37pm

They need to quit with that philosophy because the 12 best have SHOWN it.

Code for more SEC and B1G teams regardless of outcomes

LateToTheGame

Nov 3, 7:14pm

It will mean, whatever puts the most Big Ten and SEC teams into the playoff

KYU

Nov 3, 7:57pm

It is the echo chamber of the SEC and its $$$$
