I hope I’m still alive when this happens bc the first thing I’ll want to see will be the tweets put out by Joel Klatt and Danny Kanell.

Why would the winner of 8 vs 9 play the #1 seed?
I don't know that they've specifically stated the reasoning behind this.

Granted Oklahoma/Texas added to the conference would have changed the regular season rankings.
Indeed. They likely bump someone else out, or at a minimum shift the seeding.

Don`t ever underestimate the politics of the playoff
woke commitee.They will not rank all the SEC teams the way
they should.Alot of those guys have SEC ptsd.The conference
teams better have at least 10 wins to get in or they will get skipped over.Bank on it.

2016: (12) Western Michigan at (5) Ohio State Winner vs. (4) Penn State
Is it all that advantageous to get a bye in this example?
OSU gets a tune up game after two weeks of a break can catch Penn state lulling after three weeks off. Granted the big10 champ played a conference title extra game.
The need to re think a lot of this.
Conference championship games. (Winners/losers/non-participators)
Byes.
Etc.

Those rankings were put together absent the need for any politicking.

I think so. That Western Michigan team gave Wisconsin all they could handle in the Cotton Bowl. Now imagine it's with the chance for a national championship. I'd rather watch someone else knock them out while I get that extra week to get ready for the favorite.

They'll be calling for them to expand to a 32 team playoff. All of this expanding is a mistake.

The SEC (mini NFL) will win 95% of the time

quote:If that happens, they will make a rule limiting how many teams can be in the playoff from one conference.
Prediction: At some point in the first five years of the 12 team college football playoff, the final four teams left in the playoff will all be from the SEC.
The whole reason we got a playoff was because the BCS title game was LSU/Bama

Clay Travis' Prediction
Is about as trustworthy as Jim Kramer’s financial advice
Posted on 1/11/23 at 2:51 pm to DawgsLife
Why? If we had 12 teams instead of four, this wouldn't have happened a single time. Clay Travis is a dumbass.
Also of note, Ohio State would have more appearances than any other team and the Big Ten would have more than any other conference.
The other P5 conference would still be looking at more than a dozen teams each.
I don't know if 12 teams is the right number, but I do know 2 or 4 isn't.

I appreciate the enthusiasm but just looking back over the past 9 years, even with everybody being placed in separate brackets, it looks really tough for that 4th (and a lot of the time 3rd) team to get through to the semis. 2019 look promising but outside of that one, I really don't see a lot of chances of going 4 for 4 for the semifinal. It's fun to shite on other conferences but they do put out at least one or two respectable teams a year.

I have no doubt that this will happen sooner than later.
I have a doubt that they will let 4 teams from the same conference in if they can avoid it. not saying they should but you will have 5 conference champs, a G5 school taking up half the slots. Then you likely have minimum 1-2 other schools from the B1G and SEC in it. ND if they have 10 wins. Then any other school who has 10 wins will get in over a 4th school coming from any one conference
UGA, Tenn, Bama would have made it this year, the next team was 16. Last year would have been UGA Bama Ole Miss. I don't see many years where any conference is going to have 4 teams getting in

2019 look promising
It'd be pretty incredible getting four teams to the final four with only three teams in the playoff.

So sorry. I did not write "looked promising". I mean "look" is the completely wrong tense for the sentence regardless but my typing turns to shite when I have my toddler climbing all over me.
2019 no doubt "looked promising" for the SEC. Tua doesn't go down, you'd have to be a complete idiot not to think they could have made 4 teams into the final 4.
You would have a the NC LSU team, the Alabama team that lost by 5 to them and likely does not lose to Auburn with Tua, You have Georgia who lost an OT game to South Carolina and LSU in the SECCG and Florida team that ended the year #6 (their only loss being to Georgia and LSU. So yeah, looked promising.

If you have issues grasping the concept of correct verb tense, I suggest reviewing a grade school English textbook.

Are you also unable to grasp this entire thread is complete make-believe?
You literally made a list of playoff scenarios that never existed. But they could have existed if there was a "make-believe" 12 team playoff in those year you say? That is an acceptable make believe scenario to bring up but discussing a make believe scenario where Tua is not hurt in 2019 is not acceptable? Thanks for clarifying the rules of this discussion. Later.

Nobody is talking about your frickup but you.

I applied the future criteria to past results. I took two things that are reality, and objectively combined them.
You're wishcasting about an injury.
