I have no issue with a non division winner making the playoffs over a division winner in college football
First it was that non division winners shouldnt be winning championships. Now it is this. Keep moving that goal post champ

Can you give us one example in any of the above leagues you mentioned of when the 2nd place team in a division makes the playoffs and the champion of that same division does not make the playoffs? Well, that's what you have going on in college football.

That wasn't any personal insult Auburn had their opportunity to make their case, and they got BTFO by UGA, who was one pass play away from winning the title against the team that you apparently think was undeserving.
The team that beat #1 and #2 in consecutive weeks, and lost 1 game on the road
You also owe an apology to an innocent man

I can't take CFB serious until they implement a conference champion metric. Teams winning a championship without even winning their division is hilarious.
If the conference champ is not automatically in, there is no point in playing conference championships. It’s making some teams play an extra game that could potentially negatively impact them and is unfair.

I haven’t moved my goal post at all champ
It’s simple. And it is the same. A division champ shouldn’t move below a team in their division due to the result of an extra game

Congrats
In 2011, 2012, and 2017 yall lost in the month of November and still made the playoffs/title game
Look I agree with Saban in theory, but the truth is that theory applies to most schools but not Bama apparantly
That is why it is ironic coming from him
Ironic since 7SU lost late in 2011 season too. rmft.

They finished the job before they had to play an EXTRA game
The current system we have in place to determine the CFP teams was agreed to by all schools. People whined and bitched the ranking system and we got the BCS, people bitched about the BCS and now we have a playoff and some are still whining and bitching.

Drop Champ game and divisions, go to a 10 game SEC schedule?
Posted on 5/30/18 at 11:41 am to lsupride87
Also, a simple fix is to make a disclaimer a team in a conference champ game can’t slide below someone that stayed home that week
That makes sense and does not favor anyone. All will potentially benefit at some point

People go full retard when they get desperate.
The SECCG is the most important conference game of the entire season.
All of the talk about 9 or 10 game conference schedules ignores the most obvious fact that only 1 conference game is critical to the success of the SEC. And that is the conference championship game.

Damn, until the fans petition their Administration, the Athletic Director and President/Chancellor there will be no change. If Joe Aleva and King Alexander don't feel that there should be a conference championship game, then this week is the time to voice their opinion. They are ALL sitting around a damn table in Destin right now - SPEAK UP while you have the floor.

I can see your reasoning...but it's not practical. The committee has never put a 2-loss team in the play-off; there's no way they were gonna put in a 3-loss team, especially one that was not a conference champ. And since the committee had set a precedent last year, choosing a 1-loss Ohio State while leaving out a 2-loss Penn State, who not only beat OSU head-to-head, but won their division AND their conference, there's no way AU was getting in without winning the SEC.
Letting in OSU in 2016 while leaving Penn State out was much more questionable than letting Bama in this past season...at least when Bama was voted in, the champs from their conference made it in as well...

Nah, the only reason they were mentioned as a playoff possibility was because they would have an extra game and needed to win said extra game to even be considered. Without an SECCG win the entire world knew they were not going to the playoff

Everyone is deflecting using AU. UGA was screwed by the flawed CFB system last year. They completed every task. Won their division. Won their conference. Bama recieved additional rest to heal their LBers, while UGA grinded against AU twice, then the playoffs. UGA was the best team last year amd was hosed by a team that couldn't win their division.

I have made my case for UCf before
And why do you keep acting like this actually has anything to do with auburn or Bama?
I don’t care if auburn had 11 losses
Once the committee but them ahead of Bama, they shouldn’t have slid below them for playing the extra game
It’s simple, add the disclaimer a conference champ participant can’t slide below someone who stayed at home
That follows logic and will honestly benefit Bama more than anyone going forward

They didn’t. They moved down because they lost
