If you can’t make the playoff, you aren’t a good team
At what point does a team cross the line from good to not good?
Are 2-loss teams good and 3-loss teams not good or just not as good?
What about the 2-loss teams that don't make the CFP?
Less than 10% of all FBS teams will make the CFP.
Among those 91% of the teams that don't are some that beat one of the 12 CFP teams so on at least one Saturday they were a good team.

They achieved exactly the same thing that a 10 loss team did.

Nice alter.
Funny you say that because I asked ChatGPT how OSU would fare if they had OU’s schedule. It said the frickeyes would probably have 2 losses. Must be nice skating by on a cupcake schedule.

I’d probably agree they’d have the same record as OU. But I wouldn’t need to ask ChapGPT about it

The path to the playoffs are completely fricked up right now to the point where playing weaker schedules and avoiding big games is the best way to make them.
Everything the sport has been built on over the past 100 years is now backwards.
We have revenue sharing in the SEC because we believed that while teams like Alabama and the others doing NC runs obviously generate the most revenue, it's beneficial to Alabama and other teams to have tough conferences opponents. A good Miss St is good for the conference..or was. Because it improved our SoS. Now, SoS doesn't mean shite.
Other conferences didn't really do much of that and it showed.
We scheduled quality OOC games to increase SoS, and also have some big games for ticket sales etc. Now, these games are no longer beneficial. Alabama loses to FSU and it's "win your games", but we could have just scheduled some shitty G5 team and won easily. Because record is all that matters apparently.
The truth is, if you didn't make the playoffs and you are an SEC team on the bubble, you probably got fricked over by some shitty team ranked well below you who never played anyone or really did anything, but got included to make people happy.
Also, the entire system is shitty and we should go back to 4 teams, or 2.

An elite team on Oklahoma's schedule is expect to have 1.76 losses.
An elite team on Ohio St's schedule is expected to have 0.82 losses.
Oklahoma schedule is basically twice as hard as the Ohio St schedule. The weakest schedule in the SEC is Vanderbilt. They have 1.35 expected losses, much more difficult than Ohio St.

The G5 auto bid bullshite needs to end with the quickness. Hell, get rid of all of the auto bids and you put the Top 12 teams in there.
Four was always enough.

No it wasn’t. They need to go to 64 so Auburn can claim another one

Expanding to 12, skipping a model with 8 teams, was nothing but a cash grab. The on the field product has suffered.
Hell, look at the simulated BCS rankings very week, and especially the week before the current CFP begins. You don’t need 12 teams and the assholes want to get to 16 yesterday. Total garbage.
