This recruiting class (33 of 34 5 stars have gone to SEC / BIG10 teams) and this CFP Committee ruling has shown you what way the sport is going.

Get in one of those two conferences or just make up the numbers. Sad times. 

That’s pretty insane.  And the one odd ball is to independent Notre Dame. 

Clemson has had a top 10 class the last 7 years straight.  Think their class is logging around 30 something right now.  Probably why Dabo was just talking about finally having access to money now and no one going to have more than Clemson.  Got that nice church money ready to roll after seeing his class I guess.   But I still don’t expect it going to portal kids.

Well lucky indiana that they don't have to go to a championship game lmao.

Saw some SMU fans saying they should just boycott the title game because of the all risk no reward nature of it.  They would 100% be in if the ACC didn’t play a title game.  Now potentially out if they lose.

It's actually a stupidly huge flaw.

It happens to Auburn back in 2017. Beat Bama to get into the SEC CG, lost to UGA in that game and Bama leapfrogged them to go to the playoffs. Super fuged up.

SEC West champion: Auburn
SEC champion: Georgia
National champion: Alabama

2017 was the year I stopped believing the CFP/college football as a whole had any legitimacy. It proved that no matter what Alabama does, they will get to play for a national title.

Honestly with CFP, they should just do away with conference titles games.

I still think they should just remove the auto bid qualifier.  Let them play, but the games count.  The argument they only hurt isn't true.  It just only hurts sometimes, just like it can only help sometimes.  Just like tough out of conference games.  Shane Beamer was talking about how they need to rethink even playing tough out of conference games.....ignoring the Clemson game they just got off of is what got him into the convo of possibly making it to begin with. 

I think there the field should be 8 teams, no byes and no auto entries.

His point is, they played it and won and it didn't make a difference.

Without that game, they weren’t even going to be debated and have an argument though.  So that game still helped their resume .  It was close, easily could have just come down to the randomness of who was on this committee this year and their bias. 

I think think this current window will be short regardless.  Current format is dumb.  And college football as we know is breaking anyway.  This format won't last long anyway because the conferences will keep changing. Money is doing what it does.  Already seeing it in recruiting.   Eventually, there is just going to be a "main conference".  Boise St isn't going to belong in the same realm a Bama is operating in.  They won't have the money, players and then no resume to even justify being in the talk even with a perfect record.

It should be simple: Make your title game and win (in), lose (committee talks, but probably in). Don't make your title game (out). The Power 5 will be back so that could easily give you 10 of the 12 teams. So that leaves 2 spots a year per se. Do you give it to two smaller conference champs? Sounds perfect. Teams out will say, But But We're Ranked! To which you reply, too bad, you couldn't even make your title game. Fans would MUCH rather see a 1-2 loss Louisiana, Tulane, Marshall, UNLV, Bowling Green, etc. than a 3 loss Alabama. BUT ... big Media wants Bama so my entire post is moot.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
