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.

This is a great solution

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.

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.

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.

This will only hurry the leaving of the NCAA by 65 or 70 teams. Everyone tired of the participation trophy teams. Should be no Automatic qualifiers. There should be no human poll that decides the teams! Humans are biased.....computers are not.

No. I don't bet, but thanks for the offer! It is only one reason I don't bet. I could name all the teams who would sin and hit on almost all of theem, but if I ever put money on them they would instantly lose. Seems we have something in common!

Agreed. The committee did not say they had to have a G5 team in there. The seedings were not the committees fault last year either. The parameters ensure the conference champions got the bye. Too many people want to heap blame on the committee when they are simply doing what the parameters tell them to do. Now...in fairness it was the committee that decided to put TWO G5 teams in instead of including Texas or ND....or Vandy for that matter.
Had they chosen Texas, ND would have gone crazy and screams of SEC bias would have reigned down and if they had picked ND the SEC as a whole and Texas would have gone crazy.

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.

I do get the argument that the top two teams are subjective and I could see 4-5 teams that could argue they could win a title. That's why I would argue for 6 and we could POSSIBLY get by with 4. For me, 6 is the sweet spot.

No, they wouldn’t. Think about it. While ticket sales bring in some revenue, most of it comes from television rights. That’s the heart of conference realignment. They split off, they lose viewership. Look up FCS bowl viewership numbers compared to CFP viewership numbers. CFP gets double the eyeballs.

The committee doesn't have to defend JMU and Tulane. They didn't select those teams. Those teams played their way in based on the rules the 4 power conferences approved when the playoff was created (before the committee existed).
The committee only handles at large teams. They have no choice for automatic qualifiers. Blame the ACC, SEC, Big 10 and Big 12 for that.

SC played well against Ole Miss, Bama, and TAMU, but looked pitiful against LSU and Clemson. Go figure.
