You wouldn’t see a problem with LSU getting left out of the playoffs despite beating UGA in the championship?


With two losses? No. I could fully understand it.

In what sport does a conference winner get left out of the post season?
College football. It has happened before.

Are you telling me 2019 Alabama doesn’t potentially win it all if they get in a 12 team playoff?

No. I am telling you that when you bring 8 additional teams to the playoffs you will probably have at least 4 blowout games in the course of the playoffs. While it might have happened, I don't remember a single time in which the playoffs did not feature at least one blowout...and that is with 4 teams. Do you think adding worse teams will make them more competitive?

College football has the least entertaining post season in all of sports. And if you think are larger post season dilutes the regular season you are wrong.
So, you think Alabama, LSU and Georgia are going to sweat the playoffs when they are expanded to 12 teams? OSU and Michigan? Who cares if you lose a game or two? The # 10,11 and 12 ranked teams has 3,3 and 4 losses last year. The # 11 and 12 teams had 3 and 4 losses two years ago.

Lose 4 games? no problem. You still go to the playoffs.

So you are glued to hockey, basketball and baseball early rounds? When half the teams make the playoffs? "Everybody gets a trophy!" Hooray.

Look at college basketball. Plenty of exciting games in the regular season that have NET ranking implications
I wouldn't know. I don't watch basketball. I honestly don't see a whole lot of people buzzing about regular season games on here a whole lot, either.

Right. That needs to change. Thankfully it is because its idiotic.

The New York Giants won the superbowl after finishing 9-7. If teams drop a game or two in the early season, then win out who knows.

Look at 2012. You had 5-6 teams just in the SEC that were playoff worthy. LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M, and Florida.

Every year I bet you can go and find a 2-3 loss team that got hot at the end of the year.

Yes. The NHL playoffs are some of the most intense games in any sport.
