posted by friendfromlowryIdk who, if anyone, should have been in over Indiana. The field is the field and the debates are getting lame.
Five years from now #24 Syracuse will get waxed in the first round and everyone will be mad they got in over a five loss Texas Tech team. Just never ending.
That’s the fun of CFB - arguing about things that can never be settled. It’s always been that way - long before the playoff.
Indiana was a fraud…looks like SMU is too.

YOU'RE A FRAUD
I think this is just proving 12 teams is to many also get rid of the automatic bids for conference champs

Getting rid of the automatic bids is a huge step.

You’re right.
posted by MontyBrunswickSick decision by Franklin to go for it on 4th and 1 on your own 20. Jackass. I hope they lose.
Insane, especially how game was going and weather
No. Do not get rid of auto bids. The whole point is not to just get the teams who we think are the best. The point is to finally give everyone a shot and settle it on the field. If you don’t win your fucking conference, you have no argument. Of course there are teams who will be better every year than some who got left. I don’t care. They had a shot, and didn’t capitalize. We’re arguing over teams who are all frauds and don’t have a real shot at the title — but they did what they had to do to earn the chance to prove people wrong (so far, 0/2, but whatever).

Neither of the frauds were conference winners.

No, but that wasn’t the point of that particular argument.
They did however have the best resumes of the teams in question. SMU made the title game and Indiana lost out on a chance because of tiebreaker rules.
People keep saying to make the regular season matter, and this is doing just that. The simple answer is stop losing to shit teams if you want a chance. And definitely don’t do it twice!
It’s going to suck if all these games are blowouts. Texas and Clemson isn’t there yet but it could be soon.
8 Teams Playoff. I don’t care if you win your conference. You could win your conference and have 3 losses doesn’t mean you should be in the playoffs.
They should just put the top 8 teams on the same field and let them fight to the death to determine the champion. Last man standing also wins heisman
Clemson not lucky for the first time in 14 years
That would be roughing if IF it was Mahomes and in the NFL
He was in the air when hit by the defender….is he supposed to hold him up? Awful call and ridiculous no call on the PI in the end zone on the crazy INT
Feels like things are scripted
Why the fuck is everyone on the sideline and field motivated now?
Using their athletes, novel idea

YES IT DOES! Otherwise, back to BCS. Seriously. No reason for anything. 12 teams gives the chance for teams on the fringe to prove it. Yes, we may go 0/5000 on those games, still better than an argument of a team we KNOW isn’t good enough like Alabama vs a team with an argument like Indiana.
Here is my reasoning. Indiana lost by 10 (but it wasn’t a 10 pt game). There is a clear argument against Alabama making it. If Alabama made it, and got smoked by ND last night, the narrative of Indiana being left out would’ve been much stronger. Bama lost 3 conference games. They are CLEARLY not good enough to win the SEC let alone a title. Indiana lost 1 conference game, on the road, to OSU. There is a distinct possibility they COULD be good enough (yes, not reality, but a hypothetical). I’d rather 4 of those teams get a shot every single year, deal with 4 blowouts, and move on with the real teams in the next round.
Great game Buckeyes!!!!!
So, is Tennessee a fluke that should not have been there? Looked as good as Indiana or SMU.
Right? Tennessee were frauds. They got smacked way worse than Indiana did a month ago. This is why you can’t, imo, go by who you think is good or whatever. Just take those who earned it. We have no idea who or what conference is good. They don’t do enough crossing with OOC matchups. Settle it on the field with those who earned — frauds or not.
