I'd love, at some point, if non-FCS wins were removed from consideration completely for wins and SOS. However, to really drive the point home make losses count against their win loss record and SOS.

I think you meant non-FBS wins.  FCS is teams like Alabama A&M.  They should include them for SOS and make the team something like 300 because you are basically playing a practice game.

I don't care about the auto bids, give SOME kind of reward for winning conferences...but NOT automatic Seeds.

The reason Miami is ranked so highly is only because they don't want to look absolutely silly placing the 9th/10th ranked team as the 3 seed when they're already placing the 12th team as the 4th seed and maybe the 14th or so Big 12 champ as the 12th seed.

give them the 10-12 and fill out the bracket by rankings...with the obvious change to make sure you don't have rematches in the first round, and 2nd if you can avoid it.

Which is fucking stupid because Miami won't be giving more than a FG against SMU.

Granted then they can be like "well SMU is legit, I mean they just best the 6th ranked team in the country!"

Which is kind what's been happening in the SEC for all these years...confirmation bias.

Yeah. I think SMU and My Amy deserve to be in the top 10 but I'd have one after the other and both behind Tenn and UGA. 

I don't even want to know what crackpot logic they are using to know that Miami is better than every team in the SEC but Texas but SMU clearly isn't. 

Miami may be getting bumped on some of these metrics because of how good Florida has been lately - but FLA wasn't even close to this good when they played.

Oh well. Most of this shit will sort itself out. I hope we beat their ass in the Coke vs. Coke bowl.

[Pato del Muerto 52610]

Because Miami was good from 84-2003ish and smu was busy rebuilding their program from zero at that time while getting relegated when some realignment initially stratified two levels of FBS conferences. 
 

And guess who has votes in these things and when they started watching college football.

So if Ohio State loses to Michigan Saturday and to Oregon again they still make the playoffs? That's lame as fuck tbh.

This 12 team playoff actually seems way shittier than just expanding it to 8. We will see how it plays out though it could be cool to have a 9-12 ranked team make a deep run, although I don't think there will ever be a case where one of the top 4 doesn't win.

Texas and Georgia would both be getting top 6 seeds if they win out.  Instead one of them is going to get dinged because they lost the conference championship game.  The same thing will happen to Oregon and Ohio St.  That's not the in the best interest of the conferences.

Well, those of us who did not want to become NFL-lite were a distinct minority.  It is not breaking new as meaningless and/or conference-harming CCGs were happening in the BCS and the 4 team playoff.  It's only a matter of time before someone notices that teams half-ass the rivalry week for the playoff.

[po elvis 2078]

Any team on the bubble didn't do what they had to do to get in the playoff. That includes those that will get in and who won't. We have insured that anybody that might have gotten screwed in a 4 team playoff aren't getting screwed. That is all I care about. The bar is so low right now to get in, just play well over the whole season and have 1 or 2 screw ups. I wouldn't mind the last couple spots come down to pulling names out of a hat.

You have a better chance of bedding Melania Trump and Kamala Harris in a threesome tonight than Purdue does of beating Indiana. Purdue is the worst P4 team in the country. Mississippi State, Florida State and Okie State would each beat Purdue by 3 touchdowns. 

For sure but the upset to watch is Miami at Syracuse.

I think Syracuse has a chance to win that. If so, Miami should be out.

Good points on whether you would rather be the 5 or the 1

At the risk of incurring the boundless wrath of fellow surlers and suffering an onslaught of their verbal slings and arrows if this has already been answered, I have a question. 

Is there an established method for determining the time slot of the first round games or the site assignments for the later rounds? E.g. do the higher seeded teams get to choose? Or is it all decided by the TV powers? 

[Nivek 16988]

I was under the impression that the higher seed had a home game. I could be wrong.

[Horndog 2238]

Yes. Higher seeds in first round get a home game.  But how is it decided whether that's Friday night or one of the Saturday slots?
