because there is so little overlap between teams’ schedules.

And what did they “get away with”? Giving byes to ASU and BSU and including SMU, Indiana, and Clemson?

I care about entertainment more than fairness, so just give me Bama at PSU, Ole

So you would rather be entertained than have BYU make the playoffs?

If we are one of the top 12 teams then I would love to be in the CFP

Odysseus

Dec 21, 12:46pm

But none of three you're asking for are, so why would BYU get in?

You don’t think Bama is better than Indiana, SMU, or Boise? I bet they’d be

Huh?

You lost me

Why should Ole Miss get in?

#7 in Sagarin, #8 FPI, top 5 QB, beat UGA and SCar by 3 scores

How much was Bama favored over Vanderbilt or Oklahoma?

I want the CFP committee to pick who they think are the best 12 teams. I don’t

Odysseus

Dec 21, 2:33pm

If Alabama really wanted to prove that they were one of the best 12 teams

benny1982

Dec 21, 2:43pm

Absolutely

Also, don't take this as a defense of BSU, SMU, or anyone else. I just don't

That’s like saying an undefeated 1A school has a stronger résumé than a 3-loss

Odysseus

Dec 21, 3:18pm

No. That's not what I was saying at all. Read my other post.

You are ignoring the disparity in schedule strengths… and I’ll go a step farther

Odysseus

Dec 21, 3:34pm

No I'm not, I'm just not fine with saying "Well, they played a tougher schedule,

benny1982

Who said it doesn’t matter at all? I’d just weight SOS and big wins more

Odysseus

Dec 21, 3:42pm

Well, I'm not saying ignore SOS, either.

What I WANT will never happen--more P5 teams playing each other in OOC games.

Then why do you want Colorado in?

Have you checked out WWE? Pretty entertaining.

Maybe if you’re into that stuff.

This is why the CFP people get away with it. Make stuff up. And people take it.

Screw that...let's just make playoff spots based on top12 in preseason rankings so all the bluebloods are taken care of

I’ve been telling my friends this—CFP will just turn people to the NFL

Most watched, most followed CFB season in a long time, maybe ever

byuTX

Dec 21, 1:38pm

Only because of the novel playoff structure. Once folks realize it’s just more

Ski-U-Mah

Dec 21, 1:57pm

People have been saying the sport is doomed forever. It’s just gonna get more popular, despite what get off my lawns say

byuTX

Dec 21, 2:01pm

Bad take. NIL, transfer Portal, etc. are making CFB more like the NFL
