Nebfanatic said:Lots of threads on the topic at the moment lol i do agree though 8 teams with the 5 CC, 1 G5 (if certain criteria are met, a 3 loss G5 team likely wouldn't cut it) and 2 wildcard spots. It should have been done this way from the beginning. Just turn the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls into quarterfinal games. Take 1 noncon game off the schedule and there you have it.
Oh hell yes....this is the best system we have had in my lifetime. (50 years).PEOPLE! Be happy there is a playoff system nowdays, compared to the 60's forward, when there was
no playoff system around, and a Big 10 team and Pac10 team was locked into going to the Rose Bowl.
It sucked!
As an old fart, I remember those days. College football fans were begging for a playoff system!
It's not perfect now. I don't think any playoff system would be.
I hate Bama like most everyone else on this board, and they didn't "earn" the right to be there, but they
are one of the top 4 best teams.
Go back last month before the Auburn-UCF matchup results. Only about 1 in 10 thought UCF would win.
OK, lets guess what Vegas would make a line back in early Dec. after the regular season ended.
Bama vs. Wisc. +7
Bama vs. Clemson +3
Bama vs. Oklahoma even money
Bama vs. Ohio St. +9 1/2
Bama vs. Georgia +3
Bama vs. Auburn (2nd meeting, +3)
Bama vs. UCF +13
This is just a guesstimate, you may have a opinion a few points one way or the other, and that's fine.
I hate Bama, but they should be there if the criteria is "The 4 best teams"
That is like saying we give indentured servants 2 hours off per week now. It is better by a miniscule amount, but by no means is it good enough.PEOPLE! Be happy there is a playoff system nowdays, compared to the 60's forward, when there was

Thiscommando said:alabama didn't even reach the SEC championship game...how did they earn the right to be playing for the national championship if they couldn't even reach the sec championship game? if they win this game it is because they were GIVEN the chance....not because they EARNED the chance.
I agree too. The conferences is like a pre playoff. If you don't win the pre playoff how the hell do you get to the big show?This
Hate to admit it but he's right....happy offseason everyone, see you all around spring game time.Nebfanatic said:Just like OSU was given the chance last year. Imo only one team earned the 4th spot and that was UCF who was never going to make it anyway. No other team earned it. OSU certainly didn't, losing by 5 touchdowns to Iowa. USC didn't earn it. Wisconsin had a chance to earn it but they didn't either. So no one earned that spot, no one else deserved it besides 1 team and we all know G5 always gets snubbed. That shouldn't be a surprise. If Alabama didn't get in I promise you UCF would NOT have been their replacement. So please tell me, who did earn that spot? Every team had their flaw, Bama was just the best of the bunch.

I understand what you're saying runningblind.That is like saying we give indentured servants 2 hours off per week now. It is better by a miniscule amount, but by no means is it good enough.
I agree with you, it is better. I was just saying I don't have to be completely happy yet either. Why not 8 or 12 or 16? Sure most years #1 would throttle #16, but how bout that year they don't? The big boys afraid?I understand what you're saying runningblind.
It's not a perfect system. Maybe someday.
I would guess 99% of college football fans think the committee got the first 3 teams right.
It's just that fans differ on the last Bama selection.
I'm just so glad I'm out of the "Dark Ages" of college football, when on a Saturday afternoon,
there would only be 3 games on, and watching them in black & white. It sucked.
As for bad ump/referee calls, there was no such thing as reversals from instant replay.
That was in a futuristic dream world.
Also much better rules for protecting the players. College Football has evolved over the years for
the better. I'll take the current playoff system with it's warts over none.
Nebfanatic said:Alabama was one of tge best 4 and they deserve to be there. Its pretty annoying everyone wants to whine about it
By what metric was Alabama one of the best four teams in the country? They weren't even the best team in their division?
