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. 

1 doesn’t play 12.  You do play in games with low seed vs low seed.  And you give byes to the top 4 teams.  You don’t award byes to conference champs.  So Texas and Penn get byes.

I'm not even surprised. It's a joke we even have 2 ACC teams in the playoffs. I told y'all all season. 

Bold take that 12 teams wouldn’t be worthy of competing for a natty when we could never find 4 worthy of such.   I think every has always acknowledged that

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. 

Not sure of your point. Playoff blowouts are blowouts. There's been plenty of them. This isn't a new phenomenon.

If you have 3 losses, you should not be in the playoffs, no matter the conference imo.

Only in the SEC. There are just better teams in that conference and the competition is better than other conferences top to bottom.

 

The 6th best team in the SEC would still be better than the best team in most conferences.

 

They made a mistake not putting Alabama in the playoffs.

The voters will learn from the 1st playoffs. This was a chance for the lesser conferences to prove they belong with the big boys. If Clemson doesn't stay competitive in the next game it's gonna make the voters look even more ridiculous.

 

I think they have to reward more teams in the best conference which is the SEC. Teams shouldn't be punished because they play in the best conference. We all know the SEC is king in college football. Reward more teams in that conference please.

Disagree, if you’ve lost 3 games you have not earned the right to play for the championship.

Gotcha. Where you said “no byes” threw me off. You mean no automatic byes for conference champs? Top 4, whoever they are, get byes, right?

In most seasons, multiple top 12 teams have 3 losses. It’s a nature of the 12-team format. You can’t say losing 3 games means you haven’t earned the right to be in the playoffs if you are still one of the top 12-ish teams (given auto bids for conference champs.

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. 

I completely agree with that, on the other hand, specific to this year, a 3 loss SEC team still has 3 losses and I am not convinced they should be in a conversation about a "National Champion."

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      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.
