I don't mind them being in, but it needs to be because they're actually able to compete, not because they won the SunBeast Conf and finished at #16.

I get what you are saying, and it makes sense on one level, but on the other hand, they would in the long run make more money. I mean, this year was an outlier that two got in. Most years, I would think you would get 1 in. If they had their own playoff, they could actually win a National Championship and they could do a playoff of 12, 16, 32 or however many teams they would want, and more teams would spit at least some money rather than one team making all the money.

Well, JMU was the only lower seeded team to actually score some points. The game was never in doubt but they did put up some points. I wonder how they would have fared against OU, A&M, Bama or Miami.

Oregon just boat raced them.

Does ND get in twice? Varsity and JV?

By the time they started scoring points the game was 48-13 in the middle of the third qtr. Pure trash points that shouldn't be looked at as "bring competitive ". The game was over the moment Oregon started averaging 7.7 yards per rush attempt in the first half.

It's not the committee, it's the stupid format.

Thanks Sankey.


The same Sankey that multiple times expressed frustration with the committee decisions on CFP inclusions? Not everything is Sankey's fault.

Except football not a tournament sport like basketball and baseball. Depth and talent really carry a season and it’s easier to achieve with a starting 5 and a coupe of defense that pieces rather than a starting 22 who have to rotate consistently to finish a game. It was never going to happen in a 4/12 team playoff. Maybe in the old BCs where you pubs to beat me team one time but not in a week after week scenario.

If you are a serious bettor have I got a deal for you.

Every week ask me who my picks are and don't ever put money on any of them.

I seem to have a real knack at picking losers.
