Get ready for the first 2-3 weekends of college football to be unwatchable.

Don’t care if they put in SC, Ole Miss, or Bama, but if they put a 2 loss team with a 60+ SOS it will ruin 3-4 weekends of college football. Absolutely no reason to play difficult teams if the committee doesn’t care how bad your schedule is, so all out of conference matchups with P4 teams will be gone.
The first 2 weekends of football will 100% be P4 against FCS or G5 teams, and totally unwatchable. No more UGA vs Clemson, LSU vs USC, Bama vs Wisconsin, Texas vs Mich. Absolutely no reason to risk losing.

Yes you do bitch.
I’m not sure who I’d rather watch, SMU or a team piloted by a coach in over his head that got blown out by OU

No, it really won’t. I didn’t turn on a single game with a P4 team against FCS/G5 except Bama. I watched all of UGA/Clemson and LSU/USC. Ratings will take a major hit.

It’s going to be incredible. And sadly you won’t be involved

Yeah, for most teams it’ll just be based taking your 4 automatic wins every year, and then waiting for the year when the conference schedule makers gift you a schedule like Texas’ or Indiana’s this year.
It should be the opposite. Bring back the BCS calculation and keep the 12-team playoff. Incentivize teams to risk playing hard opponents to boost their SoS in hopes of getting a better ranking.

Bama won’t be involved in the opening 2 weekends of college football each year? Hahahaha…you guys really should learn to read. I wasn’t referring to the playoffs being unwatchable

Yeah the days of big opening weekend and week 2 matchups will come to an end once it becomes clear that the committee only has the most shallow way of evaluating teams: how many losses do you have? There will be no incentive to schedule those games. It’s sad. They have ruined CFB with this stupid 12 team crap.
Also get ready for good SEC teams with 10-2 records and high SOS to be left out so they can put in mediocre teams from other conferences who literally played no one. This SMU deal will just be a preview. Bama has 3 losses so this year is slightly different, but there will be seasons where a 2 loss SEC team gets hosed b/c they have will put in an 11-2 or 11-1 ACC team who has 0 ranked wins. This already is about to happen this year essentially with Indiana. Played a horrible schedule and got drubbed by the ONLY decent team they played. But b/c the committee only cares about # of losses, they are in.

This, 100%. Otherwise they will have ruined 25% of the season.

They don’t actually read or attempt to understand posts by Bama fans on the SECr. They see the script A and just try to come up with a snarky, troll comment in the opposite direction.

The hate causes them to not recognize that putting a bad ACC team in sets precedent for every one of their teams to be left out in the future. SEC should never have fewer than 4 teams in…ever.

Absolutely correct. It would be so much better if they put a 3 loss team that lost to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, though, right? That would fix everything!

Yeah they are missing the big picture. This is bad for the conference. It will set the precedent that only the number of losses matter, without regard to SOS or quality wins. It’s insane for the best football conference in the country by a wide margin to only have 3 teams in. The situation this year happens to involve Bama, but there will be years when you have different 2 or 3 loss SEC teams that get left out.
If you don’t think a 3 loss team should ever be in, then we need to reconsider whether a 12 team playoff was a good idea at all. There have been plenty of instances where a 3 loss team was in the top 12

Or in SMU’s case you schedule a fellow mid major with an old name brand conference logo on their jersey (BYU), lose, and still argue to get in.

The conference is mid though. Doesn’t deserve more than 3. This Georgia team is one of the worst champions I can remember.

The basketball committee does this and it’s usually pretty solid.

Expanding the playoff was always going to be a tradeoff for the sport as a whole.
It was inevitable that a 12 team playoff was going to diminish the excitement of the regular season, But it will make the post season much more exciting with many more meaningful games. Just the way it is.
I personally prefer college football having the most unique regular season in all of sports, with every game being very important. But so much for that now.
