I’ve been advocating for Iowa to move to the Big 12. I’ve been told no one plays defense, and it just happens to be the one thing Iowa can do somewhat consistently.

Penn State's reward for not having a single really good win is a path of SMU and Boise State. Lame.
Yes so gritty when you have the top recruits in the nation at every position.
That guy is so full of shit. Always has been.
I didn't watch it but no way Boise and ASU deserve byes if that's true.
The playoffs should be the same number of games for all these teams.
We had a 4 team playoff and I think going to a 12 team playoff was dumb.
It should have been and 8 team or a 16 team. Texas, Tenn, OSU, PSU have played tough schedules, as tough as the top 4 who get byes. So having to possibly play one more game to win it all is an artificial handicap.
I think all the teams need to play the same number of games to be the winner.
Top 4 highest ranked conference champions get byes.
ASU overcame more than any team in the nation the past 2 seasons. I feel like the football God’s owed us this after giving us Herm Edwards/Ray Anderson LOL
Had it been 16 teams, you’re looking throwing in Alabama, Miami, Ole Miss, and someone else.
Honestly, I think this is a step in the right direction. A lot of the same teams will rise to the top but it is giving more teams an opportunity.

Here is a thought; How about the NCAA step up and mandate a uniform conference schedule across the board. Either 8 games or 9 games? I'd advocate for 9.
Also, what about Notre Dame? They are a football independent, cherry picks its "ACC" games, and gets in the playoff. I'd like to see the NCAA step up and tell them to shit or get off the pot.

This is why I like the conference champ aspect. Until they join a conference, they'll never get a first round bye.
It’s crazy it was 4 for so long. It’ll definitely go to 16 as it should. People will still complain too. The ceiling for top teams is lowering.
Frankly, I'm shocked Alabama is out. They should be out, but I'm shocked the committee actually did it.
The P2 and their brokers said they would evaluate and tweek and I'd bet dollars to donuts some changes will be made.
4 from Big10
3 from SEC
2 from ACC
1 each from B12, MW and ND
The 2 lowest seeds were the weak ACC while the weak MW and weak B12 got 2 of the top 4 and byes to boot. WOW!
Play nobody and win and you're in.
The P2 and networks will seek adjustments be made for strength of schedule or a playoff is really meaningless viewership will suffer.
Imagine the NFL....( AFC and NFC.....) One team gets mostly games vs Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Jags, while others get several games w/ Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Bills and Steelers. Rewarding anyone w/ a playoff spot w/o earning it will definitely upset the balance.
Every division in the NFL gets a guaranteed playoff spot. Even the ones that finish with shit records.
This is what has been planned. Can't just jump to it right away b/c of anti-trust possibilities and other legals like GOR
And play for the 3rd time, just like Texas and UGA will if they get that far.
Yes. First two games vs 2 of the lesser FBS programs over time. (Yes, I know SMU was a prominent member of the old SWC, but were delt a severe penalty for major cheating scandal)
I'm not talking about the context of Bama per say. I'm talking about the context of the whole conference for SEC and B1G. The ONLY good team BSU played was Oregon. If the worst team on your schedule (outside of non-con) is Kentucky and you go 9-3, yeah, I put more weight in that for comparison. ASU/ISU played teams closer to MWC quality than that of a major conference plus the conferences decent teams were all down this year to boot. SMU dodged the more major opponents in their conference as well until they had to finally play one and lost.
SoS does matter. It's definitely got significant flaws because you can only base it on who you've played and if your opponents haven't played anyone (like almost all of the B12) you're really just guessing. But if you use it for one metric, you can't suddenly stop using it for another. Bama played a harder schedule than either SMU or any team in the B12 or ACC did. That's just indisputable and without even looking at the SoS.
The real thing we should all take into account is this. This is what the committee (aka B1G and SEC reps) want us to do. If they didn't want teams outside of the Big 2 to have a shot, it'd already be that way. Talk about it, create division, and make it more of a topic than it really it is in the end. Ultimately, this will be a non issue in a few years when the B1G and SEC decide it's only their conferences in participation. They were the ones who setup this playoff situation. They have complete control so this argument will be moot in five years anyway since small or mid majors like MWC, B12, and ACC won't really exist any longer. Their best teams will be in the B1G and SEC.

There is no NCAA in terms of football. Hasn't been since the early mid-80's. It's all conference control. Has been for almost 40 years.
they need a uniform model based on wins just like professional sports
let's be real here... nobody is watching every game and making decisions based on what they saw... these fools are full of shit.
rankings are based on biased opinions

Beating Mercer was the greatest win in the history of college football. Committee just doesn't understand!
Put ISU in there as well. They missed the top 3 B12 schools - BYU, Colorado, and ASU in the regular season.
