Neither #11 Boise State nor #16 Arizona State (or any Big 12 team) should be getting a 1st Round Bye in the CFP

Why would that be funny? Its good for the conference. And Why exactly would some school from Idaho that plays on Blue turf be "more likeable". Don't get the inference

I get your perspective and it’s not wrong as an Iowa fan. I’m coming from a different perspective and more macro level. There’s obviously no great team in the Big 12 but it is a bit better than it gets portrayed as on here IMO.

Also, I hated the blue turf tbh, until I went to a game there. I lived in Boise for a year and the people were great. Reminded me of Iowa a lot. Insanely beautiful state.

Boise State almost won at Oregon. I think Boise State has gotten worse and Oregon has gotten better though. Oregon would dominate if they played again, IMO.

It’s funny how every fan of 7-5 programs in the BIG/Sec want to see teams like Boise State get killed though. Boise State is far more likeable than teams like Oregon/OSU.

Boise State really is struggling to cross the finish line

Or, maybe they should just rank the top 12 teams, give the 4 best teams a 1st Round bye, and be done.

Here is the latest AP Top 25.

If you took the top 12 teams:
4 B1G teams (Oregon, OSU, Penn St, Indiana)
3 SEC teams (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee)
3 ACC teams (Miami, SMU, Clemson)
0 Big 12 teams (Boise St & ND are the other 2 teams)

Here would be the matchups:

#12 Clemson at #5 Notre Dame
Winner plays #4 Penn State

#11 Boise State at #6 Georgia
Winner plays #3 Texas

#10 Indiana at #7 Tennessee
Winner plays #2 Ohio State

#9 SMU at #8 Miami
Winner plays #1 Oregon

I was suggesting that approach only for the Big 12 championship game.

It’s too bad what happened to the conferences. Wazzu and Oregon State were building solid programs. Oregon State was legit last year and way better than most know or would give them credit for. Very fun atmosphere/stadium too, despite it being smaller.

Most thought the PAC 12 would survive realignment and that the Big 12 was on life support & would be the carcass that would get picked apart.

The PAC 12 commissioner did one shitty job, to put it mildly. And now we have teams traveling 3 time zones for games; this is going to really suck for the nonrevenue sports teams.

I completely disagree with it but I commend him for fighting for his conference.

How many times were the two best big ten teams in the BIG championship? Or SEC? Things like this have been happening for years and we’ve benefited as Iowa fans at times too, if we are objective haha.

I just think for a national tournament the 4 byes should go the the 4 most deserving

I would love to know what the top 25 is for NIL. tOSU reportedly is at $20M; Oregon & Texas A&M can't be too far behind.

Oregon is has close to 35 million for next year. I’m not sure what they have this year, but Jabber Muhammad got nearly 1 million and he’s just one solid starter for them.

So, the question is... how far can ASU or ISU jump with 2 more wins. Can they move ahead of Boise St?
