    I was kinda hoping they would put notre dame in instead of Cincinnati and when asked why, they responded “tv ratings. Duh.”

    that’s pretty much why they are 5, isn’t it?

    it’s absolutely hot garbage to have Cincy behind Georgia if they think ND is 5

    This is much ado about nothing. It's pretty set that it's going to be 1. Alabama, 2. Michigan, 3. Georgia, 4. Cincinnati

    Once Alabama lost to A&M Georgia became a clear number one in the eyes of the committee so why, after 10 weeks or whatever, would the committee think "Alabama and Michigan are the two best teams" and not "Alabama and Georgia are the two best teams."? You can obviously point to what happened yesterday and the committee would just shrug. I think Georgia will get "punished" for not winning the SEC, but being 2nd or 3rd doesn't really matter. I just don't see the committee throwing out 13 weeks of their data and opinions on Georgia because they lost to Alabama, no matter how bad they lost.

    These aren't my opinions, it's me trying to put myself in the mind of the selection committee.

    It’s the secsecsec starting points coming out of the gate. 

    Get credit for early top25 wins even if defeated teams don’t end the year ranked because - secsecsec

    Get credit for early season loss because - secsecsec

    Get credit for late season loss because - secsecsec

    In the 8 team model, the only team that is remotely interesting or stands a chance is tOSU. Maybe Notre Dame, kinda? Any system that puts in two 2 loss Big XII teams is the wrong system. All of this is a better argument against expansion and for exclusion of G5 than for it. When you see the matchup written down you see how bad this. 

    That was my thoughts as well. The mire I mixed and matched possible pairings the less I liked it.

    The question then becomes - is this just an off year? Are these bad matchups the exception or the rule?

  4. Like it or not, playoff expansion is on the table and 12 is the most recent # I've heard being thrown about.

    So, since we are playing *what if* and a reduction of games is desired, how's about this...

    Today there were 12 division winners that played. And since some seem to think that it was unfair that Georgia was matched against Bama. Let's chunk the conference championships and seed the 12 division winners. Today then would have been the first round and according to the last rankings, these would have been the matchups:

     

    1 UGU vs 21 Houston

    2 Mich vs 17 Utah

    3 Bama vs 16 Wake

    4 Cincy vs 15 Pitt

    5 oSu vs 13 Iowa

    9 Baylor vs 10 Oregon

     

    Having typed that out and now looking at it, I'm of the mind that that would suck too just like the 5-12 matchups above.

    Let's see what 8 teams would look like. We'll keep the CCGs intact and seed the playoffs as follows.

    Top 4 conf champions and next 4 highest ranked (subjectivity at play and rematches pretty much unavoidable)

     

    1 Mich vs 8 oSu

    2 Bama vs 7 tOSU

    3 Cincy vs 6 ND

    4 Baylor vs 5 UGA

    Fuck it, leave Bama out so that we don’t have to watch them again.  Tell them that you can’t lose to aggy and expect to be national champion.

    Absolutely!!

    If there are auto-qualifiers there should also be auto-disqualifies

    Honestly, the 5-12 matchups you posted are not interesting or fun at all

    Yeah, we can throw UTSA out as they wouldn't get serious consideration.

    But I tried basing the rest off of the most recent rankings and who played this weekend and who didn't. I think BYU is the only team I bumped up that didn't play this weekend.

    Season would be too long.

    But it would be a lot of fun wouldn't it?

    Today is 12/5. Semi finalists could be decided by 12/19 and played on NYD like they are now.

    UTSA would absolutely not qualify. Even if there was a 7th conference champion auto bid that would be ULL. Oklahoma State would also not fall out of the playoff over today. Whatever you track Baylor they’re probably right behind.

    I know. Was just throwing them a bone for the nice season.

     

    edit: swapped oSu for Ole Miss

    Bama should be ranked higher now for sure. UGA lost to Bama. Bama lost to 8-4 A&M. A circular argument for sure, but Bama is clearly in along with Cincy. You really can’t argue anyone else is more deserving of a berth over UGA, except Michigan, but that’s a weak argument. 

    I'm not arguing that.

    I'm arguing that Bama's resume is better.

    Nope. Not how this works. And it shouldn’t be how it works, unless you want to see Pitt/Wake/Baylor/Utah in the playoff. I don’t.

    Georgia has, by far, the most impressive resume of any one-loss team. There will be three one-loss teams in the playoff. 

    Bama says hi

    The committee will take into account Notre Dame not having a coach

    It shouldn't matter 1 iotta.

    What happened on the field during the season is all that should matter.

    And, I think Baylor's resume is better.

    Heck, so is Michigan's, oSu's, and tOSU's 

     

    but ND will get the spot.

    So GO BLUE!!
