How can CFP commitee defend Tulane and JMU? (And what does this mean for future?)

These 2 games should end automatic bids for FBS or “champions” from smaller conferences. There are at least 10 other teams who could have made a case and played more competitive games. Horrible games to watch.

They won’t have to.

Can’t be defended. This is a joke.

I don’t know the solution, but this most certainly isn’t it.

My understanding is they have to allow one entry to avoid a potential anti-trust lawsuit.

Actually, it's whoever drew up the contract.....

Would be better to pay them off and have good games.

They've both been as competitive as A&M.

There’s no way these players and coaches can be 100% focused or even give a shite about the playoffs. The good players are transferring and the coaches are already gone. They would probably get their arse kicked even if they were focused. It’s pretty fricking stupid if you actually think about it.

I think the powers that be were hoping for some Cinderella stories like they get in the Basketball Tournament.

The solution is two-fold: 1) increase the bids to 16 Power 4 teams. 2) Set up a separate playoff for the Group of Five. There are lots of minor bowls that no one attends that could be incorporated into such a playoff, and that would give them some meaning.
Saving even one spot for a Group of Five team is a sham.

One G5 team has to be in due to anti-trust countermeasures. Two is indefensible. Thanks Sankey.

Are you okay? A&M was on the six yard line trying to score the touchdown that would have tied the game with thirty seconds left.

Next year will go to 16 teams and the NCAA needs to set up a TV deal and promote subdivision national championship for smaller schools. In this betting environment would draw a lot of attention and make a lot of money. Never understood why D1 needs 132 teams.

Increasing to 16 teams will create more of these terrible games.
DECREASE to 8 teams.

It won't mean a thing. I have been arguing with an Alabama fan who insists that it isn't a "real" playoff unless you include bad teams in weak conferences.
As long as we have that DEI mindset, nothing will change and it will only get worse.
You think those games were bad? Wait until they expand to 16 teams. Those high quality football games will become more numerous.
I didn't even bother watching the games. I have to admit I did check on the scores from time to time, but that was simply to see how bad they would actually get.

Absolutely.

I would go down to 6 even. I could name 6 teams every year and one f them would win the title 99.9% of the time. (Probably 100%)

10 teans? 4-8 SC gave Ole Miss a better game than Tulane.

Not if they drew up plans for them to have their own playoff, I wouldn't think. Same is Div. 2 and Div. 3.
NIL and the Transfer Portal won't kill College Football nearly as fast as showing bad football and calling it good.

If they got rid of auto qualifiers it wouldn’t be anti trust risk to exclude them
