“Earning it” by qualifying in the DEI spot.

That’s different from proving themselves to be good enough, which Tulane did not do as evidenced by their 2 blowout losses.

Wrong about what?

Tulane got smashed twice. You are wrong to not admit that.

Tulane is ranked 56th best team in the nation in FEI. Thats not good. You are wrong to claim that is good.

This isn’t an UGA vs Texas debate, I’m saying if it’s only 2 teams you could make the argument tech is more worthy, they lost on the road UGA lost at home.

While I don’t agree, I’m just pointing out how stupid a 2 team or what you are claiming a 4 team playoff is

Than UGA. Also as it’s written OSU is the #2 teams, if it was a 2 team playoff how dumb would it be to have osu play Indiana again?

All I’m saying is to the OP on my comment who thinks a 4 team is enough I think that’s ridiculous, 12-16 are perfect.

People bitched when they got left out of 4 teams, bitching with 12, more bitching the next time they expand.

Georgia didn’t get left out though… and here’s an LSU fan who doesn’t have a dog in the fight — getting left out has nothing to do with G5 auto-bids being dumb. No one wants to watch that shite.

Yep and that’s where those teams’ complaining needs to be focussed, not on the other P4 teams that made it in in front of them. It’s a joke; it’s really a 10 team playoff.

Don’t disagree w this. The later games are going to be a joke. That said I thought it was ludicrous that OU was ranked 8 given their offense and their losses. I’m not one who thinks it’s some tragedy or injustice that Horns didn’t make it in, but they sure as hell would’ve played as good or better than OU and A&M. It’s a flawed system and strength of schedule should mean something.

All that said I think 4 or 8 teams is plenty and arguments about who’s the 8th best team would be much more valid than who the 12th or 16th team should be.

FSU got screwed a couple years ago so 8 is a good number as it allows those 1 or 2 loss teams within an early loss to still have something to play for. But honestly the 8th-12th ranked CFP teams this year never had a chance.
