Auto qualifiers are fine artificial seeding is dumb 

I have no problem with allowing them into the playoffs.

But pretending like Arizona State and Boise State had a resume that validated a #3 and #4 seed requires an incredible suspension of disbelief. It's the DEI of college football. 

I also didn't really have an issue with SMU being allowed in over other teams. The committee was trying not to penalize teams for results in conference championship games, and I can respect that. It's a bummer to be punished for what should be incentivized. It makes no sense to create a system where teams would be better off not making it to the championship game. 

The biggest issue was Ohio State losing to Michigan. If that doesn't happen we don't have Ohio State as an absurd #8 seed when they're clearly the most talented team in college football this year, with a payroll to match it. The other thing was Texas losing to Georgia. We had our opportunities, but we fucked up. The combination resulted in this crappy bracket. 

But watching this game and the Penn State/Boise State matchup reminds me of my thoughts when I first saw it come out.

Who am I cheering for again?

You're gonna get shit for whoever you choose and be told it doesn't matter who wins cause Texas is going to beat either. 

May as well, turn off the game and go outside.

Gonna be fucking beautiful when the line sec rep in the semis is the new team that couldn’t compete in the sec 

Also this is why fuck Georgia - Texas being the last SEC team standing will lead to a lot of tears and whining 90 miles east of Austin.

This is the basis of my Notre Dame disdain.  I respect the school, fans and traditions.   But play in a fucking conference.

As for UGA - after spending time in Atlanta around their shit fanbase - I won't be shedding any tears whatsoever if they lose this game.  

You know.. I keep trying to tell everyone here how insufferable Georgia fans are, but nobody is listening.

1980 Season Sugar Bowl.  Notre Dame held Georgia and Herscuh Wallah to maybe 150 yards and an insignificant number of first downs.  The Irish committed four turnovers such as muffing a kick out their own three.  And we forgot to bring a quarterback that can pass (again).  Final score, national champion UGA 17 - defense of ND 10.  

 

I would be satisfied with a mirror universe result.

yeah, ND never used to play bowl games.  it was beneath them. then, at the end of the 1969 season, ND decided to play Texas in the Cotton Bowl because bowl games would factor into the AP poll.  we won that year, but then ND beat Texas on 1/1/71 and 1/1/78. those cost us titles.

Penn State was offered the spot first. Joe Paterno refused. It was only then they reached out to Notre Dame. 

All of Joe's whining over the years how the POTUS decided the national championship, and Royal's only reply was, "I never understood why he didn't choose to decide it on the field."

Oh dear sir.. just remember that aggie played ND "close" earlier this year. Georgia and SEC alignment will be quickly forgotten by poor aggie should ND win.

I have a certain amount of respect for an insufferable fan base. I like to think we're one.

Oh.. Texas fans are absolutely insufferable. Doesn't mean I don't hate them just because I am one.
