No.

Fucking SEC dildos puffing their chests out and Tennessee gets mauled. "But it's unfair that Texas got such an easy schedule and got to host a home game". "We should've gotten Alabama and Ole Miss in". Yeah the team that is getting pants by Ohio State barely beat the team Ole Miss lost to in OT. Maybe the SEC!SEC!SEC! just kinda sucked this year.

am I wrong that wild cards aren’t higher seeds than division winners in NFL regardless of records?

 

only counterpoint is each league in CFB is not created equal. NFL arguably they are.

Ohio State's looking salty. Unlike some of the cunts here, I like Texas in the Cotton. 

[Rickylovesweed 15514]

Man, Oregon was screwed as a 1 seed.

They get one of the most talented teams in the country (Ohio State) while we get ASU and Penn State gets Boise State. They need to fix the seeding.

But is anything harder than playing @aggy at night?  They said it was going to be impossible.

[DanTheHorn 5079]

Four fan bases were very satisfied with the way the games went and the outcomes. The rest of college football found all these games to be mismatches and boring.

Of course but then they'll quickly discount if we whip aggy's ass at home.

The irony is that when CFB was regional - it was more balanced but it had no playoffs

Playoffs have materialized during an era in which regionality has disappeared. And with these mega-conferences the schedules within same conferences vary wildly and are sometimes not even close in similarity.

Correct. A 7-10 division winner would host a 12-5 wild card team.

Yeah but he works for Fox now which is the Big 10 blowhard channel. He's right but this is no different than the 4 team playoff where one team blows out another. That happens. It happens in the NFL on Wildcard Weekend all the time. Recency bias is a huge problem in our what have you done lately society. 

[David Dennison 19542]

Here's hoping Ohio State and Oregon beat the shit out of each other.

That’s totally true.

We want Ohio State because Howard doesn't look like that vs more complicated defensive schemes and our pass rush is a little more potent when we are facing less of a running threat.

[Laxtonto 13300]

 

[D3zii 3938]

Idgaf who we get, we have to be able to run the ball and play better defense the we did today. 
 

also Sark needs to quit tripping over his own dick and call better plays in crucial moments

Those guys are faster than aggy, their excuse is that only the best team in the tournament could have done this to them especially since they had to be on the road.

I'm willing to admit it's reasonable to point out Texas had a light schedule.

What I've never understood is why Tennessee got a pass on having an essentially identical conference schedule - 7/8 common opponents against which they put together an inferior body of work to Texas, and a 7 point home win against a bipolar Bama team in their big rivalry vs Texas winning by 10 on the road at aggy in a game that had been circled for years. Both teams dog walked inferior power conference opponents out of conference and lost to Georgia by multiple scores in offensive meltdowns.

They straight up coasted reputationally on that Bama win when in reality they were the overrated team people have accused Texas of being.

it’s been said earlier but fix the seeding and we get more fun / entertaining 1st round.

ND- Clemson would have been fun. Clemson could win this IMO. Winner play Penn State. Cool.

tOSU - Arizona St wouldn’t but the vols weren’t much of a match up sooooo…..

Winner plays us? Well, likely our Cotton Bowl matchup anyhoo…. But I like our path better this year. Oh well 

Tenn - SMU would have been more fun then watching these teams lay eggs like they did.

Winner plays Georgia. Bulldogs would take that over what they get this year

IU vs Boise State would be entertaining as idk who wins this.

Winner plays Oregon. Oregon like this a lot more than their draw this year fo sho.

That looks like the same results but in a different way. Playoffs are going to have mismatches. Oh fucking well.

The same thing tends to happen during the NFL Wildcard Weekend. The divisional round has the better matchups

How is this a selling point? Most of us don't want CFB to just be a bastardized version of the NFL, where crappy teams swan into the playoffs because they won their division.

We didn't get the strongest teams in the conference, but our schedule was plenty good.  Here is the Massey composite opponent's ranking of teams in the CFP (note Tennessee-their ooc was awful)

Georgia		46.7
Texas		50.9
Ohio St.		55.3
Penn St.		55.6
Oregon		57.0
Clemson		60.8
Arizona St.		61.3
Notre Dame		61.5
SMU		61.8
Tennessee		67.0
Indiana		75.2
Boise St.		82.9

but but conf championships matter!!

I so hope we win this because of course we want to win an NC.  the icing will be the 5 seed and aggy trying to put an asterisk on an actual national championship with a playoff.

but in a normal seeding there aren't 2 potential big mismatches in the quarter finals because BSU and ASU are eliminated

This has been discussed ad nauseam on B12 and possible ACC auto qualifiers where 5-8 seeds may have an easier route with non conference winners of the sec and b1g on SXM college sports radio.
