USC, they lost to ND by 35 and struggled to beat some pretty below average Western Michigan, Texas, Utah, Cal, and UCLA teams.No. So wring. Alabama is the 3rd best team in it's conference and does not deserve place in the playoffs over Ohio state or USC.
It that happens it is the second year in a row a conference champ is left out over a 3rd place team.
That's bull and bias. Why don't we just call the sec championship game the national championship game.
If that is the criteria. Then undefeated, conference champ UCF should be in the playoffs.No. So wring. Alabama is the 3rd best team in it's conference and does not deserve place in the playoffs over Ohio state or USC.

Whatever happens is going to cause a Sh!tstorm.
I love CFB.

The Non-P5 champ will still get left out of an 8 Team Playoff.They should be, it should be 8 teams, the 5 P5 chamos, the best non-P5 champ and two conference LOSER wild cards, then finally the playoff would be legit.
It’s great.It's GARBAGE, as long as OPINION about who is "best team" is a factor it will always SUCK, need to get the conference champs in it or it's never legit. Who cares if Bama is the "best team" there should be consequences for not being able to win your own conference.
Then why have conferences? It's clear the best football is down south in the SEC and ACC. Those conferences shouldn't be penalized for having the best athletes and teams and paying the bills for everyone (save 3 B1G schools) else in the country. Otherwise they will just leave and do things on their own.It's GARBAGE, as long as OPINION about who is "best team" is a factor it will always SUCK, need to get the conference champs in it or it's never legit.

Not if they met certain reasonable criteria.The Non-P5 champ will still get left out of an 8 Team Playoff.

Wrong.
What do the bookies say? I'll answer for you.
If OSU played Clemson they are double digit dogs
Bama??
2 point dog to a pick em.
$ Talks - They would not have a spot reserved in an 8-Team Playoff. The odds would still be stacked against them.Not if they met certain reasonable criteria.
Bama -3 according to ESPN.Clemson will not open up as the favorite against Alabama.
Then the non P5 leagues should be removed from D1 if they have no path to the playoff ever.The Non-P5 champ will still get left out of an 8 Team Playoff.
Agreed. That would produce a much better product and ooc games.Then the non P5 leagues should be removed from D1 if they have no path to the playoff ever.
It would be better if they left and had a separate championship, then maybe someday, Pitt might compete for something. Every other sport's playoff system includes teams from everywhere and otten leaves better teams out and that's how it should be. The way you talk about it, I assume you'd like March madness better if they just selected 4 teams every year and Duke, Kentucky and UNC always get in. Why risk a lesser team upsetting one of the blue bloods that we will be upset about their absence? I have known people who get upset about March Madness upsets, and then think about how I think that's the best feature of it, someone like Duke or Kentucky going down.Then why have conferences?

At that point, if you go 8 teams and each conference champ is then, I'd feel like it's a legit championship won totally on the field and with little popularity contest aspect to it.Agreed. That would produce a much better product and ooc games.
But most don't care or agree. The power programs definitely don't.At that point, if you go 8 teams and each conference champ is then, I'd feel like it's a legit championship won totally on the field and with little popularity contest aspect to it.
It’s supposed to get the 4 best teams. Not a collection of conference champs. The committee got it right-and everyone knows it.No. So wring. Alabama is the 3rd best team in it's conference and does not deserve place in the playoffs over Ohio state or USC.

Then it's not a legit sport. You have 130 D1 teams and on day one of the season, before any games are played about 110 are already eliminated from contention, so why bother? Change the structure, have a Superleague with the 20-25 programs that are ALLOWED to be considered and the rest can have a tournament.But most don't care or agree. The power programs definitely don't.
It’s supposed to get the 4 best teams.
No, it is a legit sport. You just don't watch or follow the sport. Teams have certainly come into the year outside of the top 25 and made runs to the top 4.Then it's not a legit sport.

You do realize that less than half the teams have had a chance to win the national title for as long as anyone on here has been watching college football. Correct?Then it's not a legit sport.

It’s great stop the whining and enjoy it.Then it's not a legit sport.

Too bad! If these teams continue to play junk schedules, That’s what they deserve.
yep it comes up every year. the committee is not given the task of the four most deserving teams. maybe they should but they're not. they're given the task of the four best.
I think they got it right.
That's why it needs to be changed.You do realize that less than half the teams have had a chance to win the national title for as long as anyone on here has been watching college football. Correct?
Not even close, NFL every team has an actual chance to win, and the path is win your division and you're in, whoever wins it is a legit champ and none of it is based on opinion.It’s great stop the whining and enjoy it.
Way better than the National Felon League ...
They got it right, the 4 best teams.
What else do you want your shoes shined?
they're given the task of the four best.

And if you read these boards there is only two or three good teams in college football yet teams still get criticized for not playing anybody
I'd prefer pitt just won at this level, but I agree about march madness. Unless it is actually your team losing, who doesn't want to see upsets?It would be better if they left and had a separate championship, then maybe someday, Pitt might compete for something.

Seems like a lot of CFB fans don't want to see upsets IMO. They seem to want the same few teams there every time and don't really like the idea of an underdog gaining entry to the playoff by coming out of nowhere with a few losses and pulling a huge upset in a championship game. Like if we did get an 8 team playoff with all conference champs in, and lets say someone like Pitt won their division at 8-4 and pulled a huge upset in the ACCCG, some of these people would want a provision to replace them with someone like a "best team" that finished 3rd in the SEC. Just saying? I see a lot of that attitude, to nullify sports greatest moments,I'd prefer pitt just won at this level, but I agree about march madness. Unless it is actually your team losing, who doesn't want to see upsets?
