No BiG team in the playoff? Makes room for two SEC teams. But the powers in charge are as committed to finding a way to get tOSU in as they are to get 'Bama in.

Would be a lot of sleep lost by the manipulators.

Conference champions need to be in. Until they don't. Which is my largest gripe about the attempt to select the four best teams. They need to go to eight teams, all five power conference champions in the dance, and three at large.

So this year using Clemson as an example, this would be the only way a team that lost to Syracuse would get in. Same thing with Ohio State, who lost to an o.k. Oklahoma team, and an average Iowa team. Alabama would be on the outside looking in, and likely get an at large. And UCF needs a look.

Screw the Buckeyes, I hope they and especially Bama don't get in. Although this year's conference final matchups seem as close to quarterfinal matchups as we have seen so far with the playoff system. I think every conference champ would have a good argument at being in the playoff, except for Stanford.
 
I'm rooting for Ohio St, Miami, TCU and Georgia. I want a 24-hour period of utter chaos during which the internet might break.

Alabama deserves da benefit of doubt over tOsu, especially since tOsu got beat by clemson 31-0 last year.

But tOsu AD is on da committee ...

Last years results should have nothing to do with selecting the top 4 this year. New year, new teams.

I don't want to see Wisconsin with College Football Playoff level success so I hope they lose. With their defense and running game they unfortunately have a very good team.

The conference championship game is what should determine who goes to playoff. I thought PSU deserved it last year. Alabama should be out.

I'm torn between rooting for TCU because a TCU win might put ISU into the Alamo Bowl and rooting for OU because I'd like the Big XII to have a team in the race.

Ya fair enough, but can't see a 2 loss tOSU team getting in ahead of Alabama, based on their body of work this year, and recent history. Selection process is still partially subjective, which is why benefit of doubt goes to Alabama.

Real solution is 8-team playoff, 5 conference champs + 3 wildcards.
 
I'm probably alone on this but if the B1G does not have a playoff team I'm not paying any attention to the CFP. I have better things to do than watch the SEC open.

8 team playoff, 5 p5 conference champs, 1 Best G5 team, 2 at large
 
Put top four conference champions in play offs based upon the strength of conference. Weaker conference gets left out and forces ND to join one so we don't have to hear them whine they should be in.

Ya, so as an objective Big Ten fan, you would take a 2-loss tOSU team over a 1 loss Alabama team? Where Alabama has won the title 4 of last 8 years, and in the finals the last 2 years. You sure? lol

SEC and most likely a team who lost to a 4-8 Syracuse garbage team.

Miami and Georgia would make the playoffs. I gotta think Alabama would would be 3rd then it's a toss up for the 4th team
 
USC
Ohio St
Loser of the ACC
Loser of Big 12
All won't jump Alabama because they'd have 2 losses
 
Makes me sick thinking Wisconsin will get yet another B1G title, while it's been well over a decade since Iowa's gotten one.
 
The only way Bama doesn't get in is if OU, Clemson, and Wisconsin all win. SEC champ for sure gets in. If any of the above teams loose next team in is Bama.

It should be set up like the Little League World Series. Have the SEC have their own bracket and the rest of college football (International) have theirs. Then the two champions play in the Sugar Bowl or on the home campus if the winning SEC team.


The kids can get together and play ping pong and exchange CFP pins. ESPN will eat that S up.

Never said that, I am more the wait and see what happens kinda guy. Im just laughing at you pathetic clown fans who are either crying conspiracy as to your choke yesterday or are crying about OSU and their very slight possibility of getting in. I dont really want Alabama or OSU in. OU doesnt deserve it either because they lost to Iowa State and that should eliminate you automatically. TCU is bad so I would imagine OU will spank them.
 
I think the CFP should be Clemson, Oklahoma, Auburn and Alabama. That way, I can confidently say I've witnessed an utter all-time record of % of players on the top 4 college football teams that are either illiterate or never seen the inside of a classroom since age 16.

That record would stand until Louisville is able to crack the top 4.

I'd say envious, not jealous, but some would say that's nitpicking.

Anybody who doesn't think the BiG would be a better place isn't being honest or isn't thinking straight. BiG members get more money, better bowls, and more attention from the media.

Now, if you are saying that fans of teams in other conferences think the BiG often doesn't deserve those things, I wouldn't argue with you.

The bowl deal is especially stark. I recall in 2001 when ISU had a better record than Iowa, a higher finish in its conference, and won the head-to-head, Iowa went to the Alamo Bowl and ISU got a lesser bowl, because the Alamo Bowl was higher in the Big XII pecking order than in the BiG pecking order. Much the same is true today.

Big XII bowl sites are, in order of selection after NY6: San Antonio, Orlando, Houston, Memphis, Phoenix and Dallas.
 
That's on your conference. Another conference realignment is almost guaranteed. That will be on your athletic director. The B1G made the decision to be a TV network that played some football and basketball games. Last go around, both ISU and the Big 12 were asleep at the wheel.

The question going forward is has your AD made contingency plans?

FTR, I have no issue with ISU, other than Iowa is a very small state for football recruiting. And I really don't like the censorship on Cyclone Fanatic's politics board. That place is the antithesis of democracy. I feel badly for both Chris Williams and Hillary, except I don't.

It's odd, ISU message board fans (outside of yourself) remind me an awful lot of Nebraska message board fans. But when I go to either stadium, I see the exact opposite.
 
Meh, they promised us a new exciting system that was supposed to be better than the B.c.S. It should've been 8 to begin with. 5 power five champions, two wild cards and the highest rated group of five if they are top 15.

Use the six big bowls as quarterfinal and semifinal matchups.

Rose Bowl: Wisconsin vs USC
Orange Bowl: Clemson vs UCF(group of five)
Sugar Bowl: Auburn vs Wild Card #1
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs Wild Card #2
Cotton Bowl: Winner of Rose vs Winner of Fiesta
Peach Bowl: Winner of Orange vs Winner of Sugar
National Championship: Winner of Cotton vs Winner of Peach.

You could bracket it however you want, I just worded it this way because the Rose Bowl has traditionally been BIG vs PAC Twelve.

Its a sad fact that Ohio State and Alabama are even in contention. Alabama has beaten who his year worth a darn? At least Ohio State will have won their conference and beaten two top ten teams providing they beat Wisconsin. Make it eight and eliminate one of the garbage games each P5 team plays every year. You can compensate for the lost home revenue by distributing the extra round of games profits to each participating conference.
 
In related news anyone think Scott frost would stay at UCF if a group of 5 had a honest chance of getting in? Broad picture going to a larger tournament field is going to make some schools relevant that were previously not. SDSU, FAU, Houston, etc.

Hawk fans have been predicting the imminent end of the Big XII since the day it was formed. It probably will happen sometime, just like the Big Ten and Big Eight morphed into something that doesn't bear a lot of resemblance to what it once was.

Not everything is bad. The payout is not as good as the SEC or BiG, but it's close enough. Personally, I like the idea of the teams retaining third tier media rights. I've been able to watch all the ISU basketball games as a result.

AP. Bama loses to worthless Vandy, only drops 6 spots. UM loses to Washington, drops 12 spots. No SEC bias at all.
