The byes really are just absurd.  I think #12 Clemson would have been favored over some of these bye teams on neutral field…..and that’s not chest thumping that Clemson team as that good 

got to take the auto byes out of this

Whoever bet on the favorites for these first 2 rounds of the cfp probably won alot of money 💰 none of the underdogs are putting up a fight at ALL

I feel like at least Ohio State vs Oregon should give us some entertainment  . Jesus.

Every "I SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAYOFF" team lost so far. Clemson was not in the class of basically any of these teams.

I've defended the new format. I still like the 12 team format. But there's no sugar coating it. It has produced terribly uncompetitive games so far.

Unfortunately, it isn't going to get better. What is being laid bare is that there has never really been much parity in college football because it has always existed as a sport without a salary cap. This will continue until the facade drops, they actually are professional teams(have been for almost 40 years now) and there is a salary cap.

If you're on the bubble of the field I don't wanna hear it. You don't have a legit shot. What I **** about the 12 team field is that it definitely gets every team in the country that might potentially have a fighting chance in the field.

I think you should rank them 1-12.  Top 4 get byes.  A nod to the old format and making them unique from the rest .  Then the rest of the field 5-12 which was added plays each other and into a game vs the top 4.

Huh? Clemson to date has given a winner a better run at it than anyone else.  Also they happened to do things to that Texas D no one, not a single SEC team, has done all season.  Clemson basically is the one loser that wasn’t totally outclassed.  They definitely didn’t show up and give people fodder to point at them

Clemson was actually seeded properly.   They were seeded poorly despite a conference title.   Same should have been done for all the other weaker teams despite their titles.

This makes sense but they are rewarding the conference champions which I agree with personally.  Regardless of format you are going to see blowouts.  

I would keep it like this and if you are a bubble top 12 team and don't make it too bad.  It hasn't proven out any of those teams belonged

We've gotta quit thumping this narrative as factual given who did or didnt suit up. Thats the reality of non CFP bowl season. Portal,Coaches gone, players not playing or quitting mid game. 

It's just not realistic. If you cheer for a conference knock yourself out. But what a team did week 1-12 has maybe even less than zero to do with a bowl game.

That's right, I forgot you guys actually made it and got beat pretty soundly by Texas.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
