In fact Indiana beat Oregon and ….? That entire league is so overrated 

The bottom of the league is awful, and the overall style of the league is boring.

If that's what you mean by overrated, I agree.

Good news is Ohio State and Georgia should be able to settle it on the field in 6 weeks.  We can pick this debate up then.

Looking forward to seeing it.  I think Ohio State wins by 3 TDs tonight.  Indiana is a great story but they can’t beat this team

Oh poo, Mendoza down after completing a pass on the first play of the game. He got blasted.

His brother is the backup? Okay.

Okay, he's coming back in.

Duke moving the ball at will. I guess the Spurrier achievement will be diminished a bit after tonight.

My CFP predictions. I hope I've got the new seeding rules right.

Conference champions have the conference logo in the bottom corner of their box in their first game.

 ... oof.

Alabama could go 6-6 and they’d still get in. Games don’t mean a thing. 

Finebaum has somewhat jokingly called the playoff "The Alabama Invitational."

I'm not compelled to believe UVa belongs in the conversation at all.

The Alabama-Georgia and OSU-Indiana games are pointless.   If I was the coach of any of these teams I'd send my second string out there.  I'm not risking player health or my playbooks for a meaningless game against a team I'm gonna be playing again in a month.

Next step is they eliminate conference championships.

Ok, so who is crowned the Conference Champion then?

'Cos schedules are completely unbalanced - as evidenced by this ACC CG (and fuging Alabama making the SEC game).

If UVa loses, James Madison is in.  If UVa wins they are in.

Bama's fate is solely in the committee's hands to vote them in over Notre Dame/Miami at this point.

The Alabama - Georgia game was essentially an elimination game for Alabama and Georgia's chance to lose a first round bye. 

The OSU - Indiana game is for the number 1 seed and Indiana's first conference championship in school history. 

How are either of those pointless games?
