A 7-5 team (even if they are conference champions) doesn’t deserve to be in no matter what.

I don't see a single thing that I said that was incorrect.

Thanks for the assist, sport.

There are no "criteria". The entire system is completely subjective and the "criteria" evolve to justify whatever decision the committee wants to make at any certain time.
The rationale for the playoff (and the BCS before it) has nothing to do with picking the best team, or the two best teams, or the four best teams; it's about boosting marketing hype and TV ratings.

Nope. I discuss them as they become relevant.

No shite. You do.
That's part of the point...

Obviously you are a troll. At least you know how to get a rise out of people. It's a shame this is all you do with your free time though.

Correct, but that isn't the claim that they and their proponents continue to make.

You really thought you had me, didn't you?
I'll give you some free advice. I know what I said, and I don't come here and throw shite around for the hell of it. You're not going to stick me with some lame arse gotcha like you might do with the rest of these people.
Better luck next time.

I'm not trying to gotcha. I've got more important things to do than argue with a troll. You just thought you got me though. Nice try.
Posted on 1/2/18 at 1:22 pm to InsideTheTide
Of course not.
That was your main account.
That was your main account.

But Bama humping the Clemson lovefest and embarrassing them pretty much ends that argument.
Oh, I agree. The problem that I see is that we still have a committee holding a beauty contest for selection of the four teams. It's easy to see after the fact that Alabama is far better than Ohio State or Southern Cal and that their loss to Auburn was an aberration.
However, there's just no way to absolutely know that beforehand. To insure that the best teams have a chance to prove their strengths, they must meet on the field.
When there were two teams selected for the BCS title it was a complete beauty contest and Bama's loss to Auburn would have definitely kept them out. The selection of four teams is a bit better and, fortunately, Bama's strength was recognized.
What would have happened if Wisky had beaten OSU, though? Would Bama have been left out? I think so and that would have been a travesty.
To change the selection committee's beauty contest picks to a fair selection process, more teams must be included in the playoff. Otherwise, we may not know that the other P5 conferences have become stronger.

You are thinking way too hard about this... Regardless of what I say or do you are going to act like you won when there is nothing to win. IMO you are a troll. Simple as that.

Finally. Now we're getting somewhere.
I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I don't care about anyone's opinion but my own.
Nothing to win, indeed.

Originally I thought the Big12 will collapse when their grant of rights expire. Then we will just have 4 power conferences. That will make an easy playoff system. Now I am wondering if having Alabama and Georgia in the the final will speed up the process.
I agree. The B12 should just finish their self-destruction and let the process you described unfold. 4 P5 conferences of 16-20 schools each would make for a unique method of determining an overall champion. Let's hope it happens soon.

They would have been relevant from the start. I can't help it if you needed to suddenly 'remember' them to keep your argument going. You just kept adding to fix the problems being pointed in your previous posts. You want to defend OSU. That's fine. But in doing so, you look like nothing more than an opportunist. Which you are.

Part of the point? I think Alabama, despite being 4th (ye gods, no 4th place team should ever be allowed to be considered, y'know, 4th) validated the committee selection. But the committee isn't perfect. Obviously they made a massive mistake picking OSU last year. OSU proved they shouldn't have been in the top 4 period.

Not for everyone. Not all of our audience went to Harvard or Vanderbilt.

Nope, but that would be no different than the defense you've mounted for Bama.

Correct.

proved
You only know what one of these words means.
I'll let you figure that out.

Nah, he's alright, even for a Vanderbilt graduate.

That was 1 game in the 1st playoff. What has the B1G representative done since? Played in 2 games, did not score a point.

it really only makes sense to expand to at least include all conference champions
then there is no bitching
win your conference and you are in
if they want to add an at large pick then so be it
I agree. The Power 5 champs, 3 at-large bids with at least 1 reserved for the highest rated Group of 5 team, provided they have no more than 1 loss.
