I understand what you are saying, but Alabama's 3 losses weren't cause of the ooc. It was cause they blew it against a couple of shit teams.
What on earth does the Bama AD have on the CFP Committee?
- Thread starter alaskanseminole
- Start date
I get it, but nobody is going to be taking risks when 3 losses is automatic elimination even if the teams ahead of you played inferior competition all year. Teams slip up against lesser teams every year, often more than once. As an Iowa fan, you should know this.
Then why did Alabama get in but not those other 3 loss teams?
The main problem with that is that some teams hit their stride or get healthy late, so you gotta decide if you want the teams playing the best at that time in it. It's what makes March Madness so great. Hell, my team was just Region Runner ups, but we got healthy and made a run and won the state title.
I honestly want 16. I don't like the byes at all.
Exactly, just an expanded version. Actually, I may have enjoyed college football more when there were no championship games. When every bowl was special and an honor to be invited.
It’s also interesting to see how hard the ACC is lobbying this time around when they didn’t do a damn thing last year.
I enjoyed it when you had to have better than .500 season to go to a bowl. And while saying this, the first bowl I attended in person, Iowa State went with a 5-5-1 record.
I didn't place them anywhere. I responded to Alaska, who mentioned Miami, and I said that Bama had a better resume. When another poster brought up Ole Miss, I acknowledged they might be better than Bama and said ok. Ultimately, the only thing in this discussion I genuinely care about is scum not getting in.
Now there are those that want SMU to opt out of the championship game to secure their slot in the playoffs. Remember Joe Tessatore stating a dozen times during the uga-gt game "uga is automatically in, they can't be penalized for losing a mandatory extra game". But then today when asked if SMU would drop if they lost to clemson, the cfp chair stated "it's possible" lol.
Well in this unrealistic (but wonderfully hilarious) scenario SMU would opt out, thereby keeping them in the playoffs based on rank, then Clemson would get in based on winning the defacto acc championship, which then knocks bama out of the playoffs.
