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

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

Someone remind me please why the SEC deserved more teams?

So the bye is bad now? Right

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.

So fluky what ND is doing to mighty Georgia.

I never counted the KSU game as a BYU win either.

Kolipoki

ND got the ccg bye which happens at a better time then a playoff home game

For sure, CCG need to completely go away, just worthless at this point.

The home playoff game is huge for the teams that get them. So many benefits

Doesn’t the playoff get too long? It would be half as long as the season.

5 weeks compared to the 4 now.

Ok, maybe I slightly exaggerated haha

TarCoug

No, 12 is enough. They just need to tweak the seeding and it will be fine.

If you are not top 3 in your conference you have no business playing for a NC.

I just think those 13-20 games would be fun. It would give teams a chance to win
