    They really should correct for how good an O-line you have with these awards.

    Taylor had a much better O-line to run behind than Hubbard. Derrick Henry had a much better O-line than Christian McCaffrey. Mark Ingram had a much better O-line than Toby Gerhart. Sam Bradford had a much better O-line than Colt McCoy. And so on, and so forth.

    Agreed

    I don't even know why I fucking care anymore. The only stats Taylor had on Chuba was .1 in YPC, and a some receiving TDs. And Taylor had an extra game. If the award requires that your team be a CCG participant, put it in the fucking criteria.

    And I complained about it already, but Chuba's best game was 296 against KSU, which nobody saw because it was on ESPN+, which I understand was glitchy anyway. Fucking Big 12 money grab, FUCK YOU!!

    If you consider the national perception of Big 12 defenses (which is viewed as a spread passing conference), compared to the perception of the defenses Taylor faced (plus the BS that previous seasons affect bias) is this that much of a surprise?

    You might get your wish if he comes out on the field round and sprinkled with chocolate chips.

    4 or 8 are the right number.  Either work for me and both have pluses or minuses.  G5 should  not get consideration above at-large.  Single seat is even worrisome as it will usually will put a team in a virtual bye week. 

    The biggest reason G5s don't have their own thing is so they can keep a chunk of the CFP/NY6 money.  I'm all for fair treatment, but I really don't feel sorry for them enough to make them automatic.

    Also, NFL comparisons largely do not work: (1) League-wide parity makes straight comparisons of records a good indicator of actual strength.  (2) Their scheduling makes it so that playoff teams generally play harder schedules than those left out.

    Outside of 2 divisions, one conference, and a handful of OOC-aggressive teams. CFB is set up the exact opposite from the NFL.  Beat up cupcakes, try to win the 2 big games on your schedule, profit.

    Tell that to the 2017 Auburn team (who beat two of the playoff teams that season) who had its hands full with UCF or 2015 Florida State team who had their fill of Houston.  

     

    Teams can only play whoever is on their schedule and you can't fault many of those programs if many of the P5s avoid scheduling them, which many do.  

     

    Also, keep in mind that the P5/G5 divide is artificial (man made) in that it was a direct result of CFB being hijacked rigged and now controlled by the P5 conferences so they wouldn't have to share the $ with the other conferences, not as a result of merit.  Had that not taken place and had we had a true playoff in place, then there would be alot more parity among programs and conferences and you'd see a much bigger field of contenders each season and less disparity in talent and coaching among programs, making CFB much more interesting then the 10-15 team beauty contest we have now.

    LSU got lucky by playing their gauntlet of Florida (H), Auburn (H) and Alabama (who they beat by an average score of 37 - 30) over a 4 week stretch in October and early November instead of late-November and early December like OSU.  Ohio State beat PSU (H), Michigan (A) and Wisconsin (N) by an average score of 39-22.  When Ohio State played their version of UGA (Wisconsin) following cupcakes, they killed them 38-7.

    The bottom line is that the SEC gets every benefit of the doubt when it comes to the playoff.  If Ohio State had given up 614 yards in November to a team that fired its coach at the end of the season, they wouldn't have even been in the conversation for the 1-seed 

    If you look at it objectively, LSU played a tougher schedule, and looked more impressive on Saturday.  That was the difference.

    Exactly. The regular season games that will matter -- the conference games -- will still be massive because if you go the conference champs-earn-auto-bids route that's the easiest and most sure-fire way to get in the final eight. Fall out of that and you're taking your chances on not getting in as one of precious few wild card spots. Teams won't be punished by scheduling -- and potentially losing -- big-time, cross conference matchups before league play starts. Win a game against, say, Alabama or Ohio State or Clemson and holy shit that looks good on the ledger and will help tremendously with seeding. There is a sweet spot -- and I think it's eight. I could perhaps handle 16. Any more is too much -- and 16 is probably too much.

    Use SOS for seeding.  The tougher you schedule, the higher you are seeded.

    The idea that an expanded playoff will reduce the importance of regular season games is asinine. The NFL, with its 12-team playoff, has tons of matchups that matter every week throughout the season. Basically the current power brokers of CFB don't want to lose their ability to determine who is "best" based on opinion. Is there really something so unique about college football that the system used by every other sport across the world will ruin it?

    Especially if you use the regular season for seeding.

    Every single "reason" I've read over the last 7 pages for 4 teams in the CFP not being enough would not get fixed by adding more teams.  Same controversy exist no matter what, you just slide problems down the scale the more teams you add.  So, the whole argument really just boils down to a completely arbitrary number of teams that feel right to people.

    I like 4 because that number makes the regular season the most meaningful while still giving enough deserving teams a shot at it.  Others like 8 because they think more teams deserve a shot at it, even if that diminishes the importance of the regular season.  Both completely arbitrary.

    2014 TCU was deserving.  8 would atleast allow for a more objective champion by allowing more of the top teams to separate themselves from each other on the field of play.

    How would it being possible to win every single game you play and still not win the championship not be fixed by adding more teams? 

    It's entirely possible in this rigged system, and impossible in a legitimate system.  Those against adding more teams to it are generally fans of bluebloods who the system is rigged in favor of.  

  9. Option 1: take top 8 teams based on the original BCS formula taking into consideration (with emphasis), SOS and MOV

    Option 2: All P5 conf champs, top G5 and 2 wildcards.  Require a 2 loss maximum.  If a conference champ has more than 2 losses, they are replaced with a 2 loss or better wild-card.  

    In both scenarios, use SOS and MOV to help determine seeding, so that teams are incentivized to schedule tougher OOC opponents.  

     

    If we did this with 12 teams.  the top 4 teams would start out with a bye.

    We have unfinished business with Clemson; narrowly lost to them in 2016, then got smoked in 2016.  Also that Woody Hayes thing.

    Our defense dominated all season then looked a bit more normal the last 2 games.  Teams double-teamed Chase Young and the other D linemen didn't step up.  We were down a good DB for about 6 of the last quarters as well.  That may be a factor.

    Fields has also played poorer.  Could be his knee, and it could be him playing like a freshman.  If we're gonna win this our D and our QB need to get back to their old ways.

    That was in 2013.

    Texas should begin incorporating the color Gray into it's football uniforms.  The baseball and basketball teams already do, and I believe Gray and Burnt Orange look damn good together.

    I think we all agree Black on the uniform would be an abomination, but a touch of Gray here and there would look dope as fuck IMHO.

    Discuss.

     

    Jerry Garcia agrees...

    secular.  UU is NOT briggyU.  please allow me to go ALL CAPS to get the point across.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH IS NOT BYU.

    IT IS IN GREAT SALT LAKE CITY IN THE FORMER STATE OF DESERET.

    BUT ONLY 36% OF UU IS BRETHREN.  THIRTY.  SIX.  PERCENT.

    THE BRETHREN DO NOT CALL THE SHOTS AT UU.

    THEY HAVE HOT CHICKS THAT FUCK, ALCOHOL AND SMOKE FROM COLORADO.

    https://www.worldreligionnews.com/religion-news/thirty-six-percent-students-university-utah-mormon

    And the academics are pretty good too.

    Regarding hot brethren, outside of utah, absolutely.  Devout observant testimony-bearing multi-generation pioneer-descended girls born and raised in utah?

    Compare byu cheer:

    only starter for UU is 2nd from left, rest are jags.

     

     

    You obviously haven't been on the BYU campus.  The hotest talent in the state is down in Provo and it's not even close.  Talent with brains. since it takes basically a 3.9 GPA to get in to the Y.

    It's worse than that. The more teams in the playoff, the more that will bitch about being left out. We've already seen a lot of posters on this board bitching about #6 TCU getting left out in 2014. Expand to 8 teams and fans of the teams ranked 9-12 will complain. And then it will eventually expand again. 

    You'll hear less bitching about #9 getting left out then #5 getting left out.

    Uuuhhhhhh no. 
     

    The system rewards scheduling for an undefeated season.  It clearly discourages out of conference matchups for fear of that one loss, and discourages the ACC and SEC from actually playing their conference opponents (and to keep playing D2 schools). We are sacrificing the first 3rd of the season to make the artificial “push” at the end of the season to only have 1 or zero losses. The rest of the schedule doesn’t mean shit. Just don’t lose. 
     

    8 is great.  A conference championship is the only real metric college football has that is played on the field. Polls and committees should be saved for politics, not sports. 120+ teams and 12 games. Zero like schedules. And a playoff system based on confirmation bias. 

    8 teams with automatic births using a seeding process based on the BCS formula that includes both SOS  and MOV (with greater weight given to SOS) to encourage teams to schedule better games OOC.   This would preserve and I would say increase the intrigue and interest in the regular season.
