2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
There will always be contention, no matter what system you put in place. I will say it again, it should just be a normal fucking playoff like every other goddamn sport on the planet. CFB is not that special and doesn't need a cutesie playoff system. If you had that, Texas is in, ND is in, BYU is in, everyone that's fucking crying right now would be in. Set it up for 24 teams with 8 automatic byes for the highest ranked teams. Seed the rest by composite ranking. I'm using the final CFP rankings just for the sake of argument here, but whatever composite ranking that is agreed upon prior to the season would work the same way: Would anyone at all be upset with this? Seriously, be honest with yourself. The SEC gets 4 byes (7 teams total), B1G gets 3 (6 teams total), Big 12 gets 1 (5 teams total), ACC gets 0 (3 teams total). What exactly would be wrong with a playoff bracket like this?

The CFP ruined college football.
I fucking told you earlier this season, verbatim, that Indiana was more physical and better in the trenches than the other "top" B1G teams, despite their talent level, and that they would have something to say about not only who plays Ohio State for the title but the title itself, while you just sat there and assumed it would be Ohio State vs Oregon, even after Indiana went into Eugene and manhandled them. I told you that it was impossible to tell if Ohio State was actually all that good because the only tough game they had played and would likely play the rest of the season was against a green Arch Manning in the season opener. You know why I was right and you were wrong? Because I guarantee you that you never watched a single second, outside of maybe highlights, of this Indiana team (you didn't even seem to know that they had beaten Oregon on the road when we had this conversation months ago) and just made a series of assumptions based on basically nothing but helmet logos. Their talent level on paper is lower than most other top 25 P4 teams, but they were at least on the same level as Ohio State from a physicality standpoint, and I'd argue that they were flat out better, this was not a fluke performance, and they'd be able to repeat that probably 6-7 times out of 10 against them. There was somebody in the game thread trying to argue with a straight face that Ohio State won the battle in the trenches last night and I just can't understand how people get so chalk brained sometimes even when shit is happening in front of their eyes. It wasn't just in the trenches, either, they were better at every single position other than arguably wide receiver and it was probably a wash in the secondary.

Fuck ND

The Big 12 is fucking awful
I legit do not understand how it is beneficial to skip your bowl game. The extra practices alone make it worth it.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Sorry I love you

Tell Me About Notre Dame
They were going to end up playing BYU and they can't take the risk of losing Big time program by the way

You still haven't answered the question. How do you make a bracket without humans or computers involved. It's not governed by the fundamental laws of space and time so it's not going to just coalesce on its own.

Should help with fixing the fucked format when expansion happens.

Are they actually included in the highest ranked conference champion discussion? I genuinely have no idea. It can't be considered a real conference championship right?

Pretty sure humans and computers are involved there. You said no human or computer hands involved. How does it work, then? We have a turtle race?

This is all the format and the ACC's fault btw, if the format didn't dictate at least 1 G5 team getting in and the ACC had a single team worth a shit it would have been 1000% better.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
They didn't deserve to be in last year either.
-
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Been saying that this would probably happen. The slight move up for them to #9 was, I think, a hedge against this, but I think they looked so bad that they should absolutely be out.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
They beat Pitt by 22 Please don't make me defend ND just fact checking

Facts but blame the format and the ACC for being a disaster. Thinking back on all that ztejas SMU/ACC hype early in the season. Expand the playoff and let G5 play their own bracket like the NIT.
