These playoffs are a joke so far. Strength of Schedule should really be a consideration in the future. 

Not saying that Bama should be in, but South Carolina or Ole Miss would have absolutely had better showings. 

I think people, not saying here, suddenly have forgotten how routinely teams got smashed in the 4 team format though

They will get better at this but SMU and Indiana had no business being here IMO.  Any one of those teams u mentioned would completely dominate either of them.

This is an embarrassment to the committee 

It could be. There will certainly be something for the Alabama crowd to gripe about. There has been a real emphasis on trying to create the same excitement for this that is a part of the basketball tournament. The thing is, we have seen the little guys in college football already fail repeatedly to knock off the big programs, so I am not sure why expanding the field to officially include them would necessarily bring different results. There's already talk here and there about expanding it further to 16, and there is no good reason for that either.

Valid point, but those blowouts were at the hands of the teams that would go on to play in the NCCG. These blowouts have been at the hands of teams that may very well lose in the quarterfinals. That’s not the same thing.

The issue is the notion that all conferences and conference champs are created equally, when that just isn’t the case. 11-2 in the ACC is not the same as 9-3 in the SEC or B1G. The highest ranked G5 champion is very rarely going to be on the same level as the 3rd or 4th place B1G/SEC team.

Well that’s true as well, most of that thrashing were by teams that played for the natty and often won it.   Now maybe you could argue Notre Dame is going to handle teams but I don’t think this Penn St team is. 

SMU doesn’t have the OL to play in these games nor the QB.

Well also, none of these teams not showing up thus far were even conference champs.    I’m also not sure the BIG and SEC should be talked about so comparably either though.   There is the SEC and 4 weaker power 5s of different varieties

Then it becomes, as Finebaum has a bit sarcastically said, the Alabama Invitational.

I think they should just rank them 1-12.  No byes for champs .  And then you let the lower seeds basically have play in games.  

SMU and Indiana and the likes really should be playing Boise State, ASU, Clemson, etc.

I’m an SEC homer, so I was trying to be unbiased. Haha

And these very well could be too.

I doubt ND and PSU will both be playing the NCCG. It could happen but it’s unlikely. 

Additionally, the past blowouts were against teams that were supposedly the #3 and #4 teams in the country. These were against teams ranked #8 and #10 who each struggled mightily in their regular season games against legit opponents.

if you seeded 1-12, SMU and Indiana wouldn’t be playing teams like Clemson and ASU. They’d be playing teams like Oregon and Georgia. Those games would be even worse.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
