I have no major issues if that was the playoff lineup.
There will always be arguments about the last few spots, and while I would have preferred 16 teams this is shaping up just fine for the inaugural 12 team tourney.

It’s not surprising. They designed it this way so that the teams who will draw the most eyes will be in the playoffs at the end of the year. It is not designed to benefit teams like Iowa.

Look at Indiana with a fantastic record but one loss away from being kicked out while some one loss teams can comfortably lose another game and still be in contention.

Youre a dufus if you are celebrating this.

What do you mean how? You think it’s coincidence that this new larger playoff format happened the same year the top teams were poached from the other conferences? This is designed so that the most prestigious teams still get to play for a title at the end of the year. Look at how the committee treated 1 loss teams. Notice anything special about the ones they have in the playoffs versus the ones they don’t? Think it’s not biased how they have Indiana set up to drop out as soon as they become a one loss team? You think Iowa would be treated any different than Indiana?
 
re: Notre Dame. I happened to notice that Northern Illinois is 4-4 on the year. Far from a "quality loss"

correct. Conference winners get byes. those were thr rules they put in place.

Which are idiotic rules making the Big12 and ACC equivalent to the SEC and B1G. Clearly the committee feels differently selecting four SEC teams, four B1G teams, and only one team from each the Big12 and ACC.

Give the Big12 and ACC champ an auto bid, not a first round bye. The 9th seed getting an opening round bye while the 2 seed has to play makes very little sense to me.

I agree; pick the 12 teams according to the rules. THEN seed them 1 through 12 and give the actual top 4 teams the top 4 seeds.

It's interesting that only one 3-loss team makes the top 25 (Louisville, 6-3).

Imagine if Iowa simply had taken care of business at home and beaten Clown U; we'd be 7-2, 5-2. Had we played better (AND tackled better) at MSU we'd be 8-1, 6-1.

That will change if/when Alabama registers a third loss.

Not even worth analyzing. It’s an invitational tournament. The very reason why other bowl games will still have some good games. Some other bowl games may be better than some first round CFiP games.

Conference champs should get the bye. I like that part of the format. What I don't like is Boise State, or another champion G5, not getting a home game.

I disagree, if BYU loses in the last couple of games or the conference championship where will they or the conference champion be ranked? If Oregon loses to OSU in the conference championship and is highly ranked they do not get a bye as it currently is set up.

What if Colorado wins out and wins the conference championship, then a team Nebraska beat 28-10 gets a bye?

Yes. That's the reward/incentive for winning a conference championship.

There is no guarantee for any conference champion for the five auto bids (see below from NCAA.com)…​

How CFP teams are selected under new format​

The new 12-team College Football Playoff field will include the five highest-ranked conference champions, which will receive automatic bids. The seven highest-ranked teams remaining will round out the 12-team format.


The top four teams will receive a first-round bye to the quarterfinals.

Indiana should finish the regular season no worse than 11-1. IMO, with a bye week to prepare, they likely will give Ohio State a great game.

Indiana's (9-0) remaining schedule:
Nov 9..........vs Michigan (5-4)
Nov 16........Bye Week
Nov 23.......at Ohio State (7-1)
Nov 30.......vs Purdue (1-7)

I'm not writing off IU. Hell, I envy them. 9-0 is 9-0. They didn't decide their own B1G schedule. Also, look at the game scores - they're not just barely squeaking by, they are burying the opposition on the scoreboard most the time.

And no matter the competition, its extremely easy to lose a game if 'don't show up' or stop playing because you have a lead. Just look at KF's record for proof, even just this season. *cough*ISU*cough*

Doing this with a new coach, in his first year, makes what the Hoosiers are doing even more respectable.

I wonder if Curt Cignetti goes to another school next year NC, Auburn, Utah, Oklahoma all really need a coaching change and willing to pay up crazy $$$. Clemson and FSU can’t because of the crazy contracts Swinny and Norvell have but I’m sure fans are calling for them to be fired. Instead of teams waiting 4-6 years perhaps teams will look at Indiana and want similar results, 2-3 year contracts for coaches, larger schools poaching smaller schools for coaches as well 🤣
