I agree with the ND comments about joining a conference. Get on board or suffer the consequences. Furthermore I would drop the JMU & Tulane type auto allocations and truly go with the top 12 teams based on the criteria that was better applied this season. IF JMU and/or Tulane are in the top 12, so be it. If you had the best 12 this season, you would likely have ND & Vandy. We would have some really good matchups next weekend across the board.

The problem with dropping the auto bids is that it becomes a purely subjective list of who the top 12 truly are. Leaving some objective measure for making the playoffs is necessary.

We’ll it’s basically a budget NFL now, might as well organize it like the NFL.

In fairness, how long have we’ve heard about conferences/teams “getting preferential advantages/schedules”?
Yet not many want everyone to be identical to eliminate that opinion?

Stop giving auto bids to small conferences: JMU, Tulane. If you run the tables, sure that’s fine. But, multiple losses - disqualifies you.

Lol college football and bowl games go together. Let's just go back to the pre BCS era and the top 2 teams playing

Wasn’t Auburn snubbed back in ‘90’s/‘00’s from the title game (just like FSU a few years ago)?

Conference only teams!

If you can’t win your group, why should you win a natty?

ND, would this format change y’all’s minds?

Not a snub.

Go back down to a 6 team playoff. All these teams are watering down the playoffs....

Obviously he is a punk trying to win a popularity contest with the US catholics. Neuter Dame had the softest schedule in the Top 25. WORD!!

I've had a fix since BCS days.

Each conference has a Conference Championship. Win CC and go to playoff. Only conference champions play in playoff. Conference doesn't have CC......join one that does. Ranking only matters in seeding playoff.

Fck rankings. Fck at large bids. Fck what universities are big money draws because fans travel well.

only conference champs make the playoffs? So the SEC only gets 1 team in the playoff? You do realize an 11-1 SEC team, that doesn't make the Conf championship game, may be the best team in the country. You'd exclude them?

Damien8003•3 months

Yep.

Fully realize that. But, if you don't win CC, you don't go to playoff. Gives it more meaning. Sucks to suck.

This only works if you go to an all conference schedule.
