A team that didn't win its conference shouldn't be able to play for the national title. I thought we established this long ago. UCF should have been in or I could even see a Wisconsin. If you're going to reward a team that didn't make its CCG, how do you penalize one that did? The committee clearly didn't look at the CCG as anything special in one sense is what I'm driving at.
The P5 should not be in the same division as UCF if an undefeated UCF can't get a shot. Let's cut the BS. When P5 teams really only play their own conference's teams, too, it doesn't make any sense to judge one (conference) as better than another.
75% of FBS teams played an FCS team this season. The B1G teams largely didn't, though (more than 80% iirc from a post I made last month). Florida was the only $EC team that didn't. $EC teams only played eight conference games to boot. You all know the B1G teams played 9. What did this SOS difference mean?
The committee is taking other seasons into account. That's just more BS. Add to this that their rankings are even more BS. They might have an order that you bet on (which I have), because you figure you know what the playoff seeds will be, and then they mix them up at the last minute. It's a joke!
We need to have a lot more OOC games between P5 teams. I'd love to see it happen anytime but preferrably both in the regular season and playoffs. I understand this is all about money. What I don't understand is how more quality gmes wouldn't be a win-win for the fans and accountants alike.
p.s - If they were going to pull this **** and have two teams from the same conference in the playoff, they should have played in the first round and gotten it over with.
p.p.s. - I'd love to see a playoff like the lower divisions have. Nebraska hosting a playoff game against a Miami, for example, would be a dream come true. Let's take football back! It's bad enough how baseball is due to weather...
