The whole process is bullshit.  

Notre Dame was "better" than Miami 6 days ago, nothing change for those two teams, and now Miami is "better".

Alabama gets whipped in the conference title game, stays put.  Ohio State barely loses their conference title game, drops a spot and now gets Georgia in the semis instead of Texas Tech.  Wouldn't have mattered, but BYU also dropped a spot after losing in the same fashion Alabama did.  Bama is lucky Saban works for ESPN. 

Ole Miss already beat the brakes off of Tulane.  James Madison's team watch party looks like a scene from Wolf Of Wall Street with all the 5'10 white guys in there.  I'll set the combined spread for Oregon and Ole Miss at -62.5.

 

Honestly, if you want the conference championship games to not punish losera of those games then you need to do the playoff selection before those games are played. 

The best approach is really to eliminate the conference championship games altogether and just crown regular season conference champs. Those games are always gonna be monkey wrenches and the best scenario is to be a team safely in that doesn't have to play in one which is bullshit. But you'll never get those conferences to forego that $$$ generated by those games.

Dear Oregon and Ole Miss, 

Please beat the dogpiss out of James Madison and Tulane (again for Ole Miss), so the CFP can change this rule and stop this mockery of letting these junior varsity teams in the CFP. 

Sincerely Yours, 

Football Fans

Disagree. I hope JMU and Tulane win.

I will never, ever, ever root for an SEC or Big Ten team over anyone after the way they ruined college athletics.

Listen to this non-answer on ND/Miami. This dude is getting fuging grilled and he's very uncomfortable. He's trying to muddy the waters constantly bringing up BYU like that's relevant. LOL

The answer here is honestly just saying "Listen, we screwed up having ND ahead of Miami in the rankings all along. Miami beat ND head to head and it shouldn't have taken us until the final buzzer to acknowledge that."

As I tell my team at work, "hope isn't a strategy".

I missed it.  I turned the channel after Kirk Herbstreit said "the CFP should be the twelve best teams, and who knows, maybe Tulane and James Madison will prove to be one of those".  

Hahaha.  Bunch of bitch-made talking heads scared to say what they really think.  I want to see what McAfee says tomorrow.  He's made his whole skyrocket rise by bucking the system, he should have the head of the CFP on tomorrow and just destroy the whole process.  

Saban was the only one who spoke up that Tulane and James Madison shouldn't be in, imagine what he would've said on air if Bama had been left out.

What strategy is involved in casually watching football games, may I ask?

Tulane/Ole Miss is intriguing eith the Kiffin fiasco but JMU is gonna get skull fuged by Oregon in Oregon. That's gonna be a massacre.

Dude got the poo grilled out of him. He looked like cockeyed Kash getting grilled on Epstein. LOL

It doesn't logically make sense that Notre Dame is left out if you had them ranked ahead Miami last week.

Per usual, it has nothing to do with "who is better than who" its purely politics and money that decides college football playoffs, bowls, etc.

There is no justification because they are essentially admitting their previous rankings were bunk.

I'd start strategizing what you want to do for each game's second half when it's 35-7 at halftime.

Agree.  If Virginia wins last night, the ACC has a team in, gets $ for participating and Notre Dame is in.

You can't have a Power 4 conference without representation in the CFP, even if said conference was complete trash this year.

Honestly, ND would've probably traveled a lot better than Miami and brought in more ratings. I think they really wanted ND over Miami but at the end of the day with a call to make knew they couldn't justify it with the head to head loss situation and basically identical resumes otherwise.

Honestly, probably correct.

The answer is pretty simple here IMO. Tell ND that if they want to be considered for the playoffs they need to join a conference.

Oh good grief, I didn't realize Ole Miss had already dog walked Tulane 45-10 this year. Never mind. LOL
