So the best defense OU has played is TCU?

Army's defensive numbers can't be taken seriously.

Alabama will score at will. But then again, so can OU. They just haven't played a defense like Alabama's yet. If they can cause four to five 3-and-outs, OU going to be in trouble.

They act as if the likelihood of injuries in bowl games vs the regular season is uniquely higher. If they are truly so concerned with protecting their guaranteed money, they should hang it up as soon as they have cemented themselves as probable high draftees -- if they have a monster week 5 or 6 which puts them on everyone's mock radar, then they should bow out immediately thereafter.

Let's be real . . . sitting the bowl game out (or leaving earlier) is nothing more than them saying "I'm tired of this bullshite, I'm beyond this amateur scene, I'm moving on."

I don't know about all that.

All I know is that there are three universal, inalterable truths about the SEC:

1. Miss. St. and Ole Miss are the most irrelevant schools in the conference
2. No one wants Mizzou in the conference
3. A&M gives off gaylord vibes

AU and LSU at least have a chance to correct their behavior somewhere down the line

Change the rules however you please. Alabama is still going to dickslap all of us for the foreseeable future.

Well this right here, this right here confuses me folks. I just dont get this one.

What's confusing? No one in the SEC likes or respects Mizzou, we wish you weren't in the conference.

Still confused?

That doesn't make what I said untrue.

The CFP committee doesn't even use the AP or coaches poll in the deliberations.

You assert with sincerity that the AP poll doesn't matter? You honestly think it doesn't factor into the initial CFP rankings? You think the AP doesn't serve as a measuring stick to the CFPC for victories and losses? The AP poll not being a defined probative criteria for the CFPC is irrelevant -- the perception created is in play. LSU is ranked #3 because they beat a (then) #2 UGA.

#2 according to . . . yes dumbass, the AP. So when the committee considers that win, they consider it with the AP #2 ranking in mind -- the perception of UGA's strength and the quality of the win, as dictated by the AP's high evaluation.

Asked and answered. No one can force the AP to do or not do anything. But they can be coaxed into playing ball. If they refuse, then the CFPC can elect to expand its voter membership, and elect to begin voting starting in week 4 of the regular season. The AP then becomes relevant for all of 3 weeks (instead of the current 9), eventually no one will pay attention to them. That's very nearly the case now. The biggest blow dealt would be totally nullifying their influence on a late-season initial CFP ranking.

Explain to us why the 80-100 teams who realistically have no chance of ever making the playoffs...certainly not more than once in 20 years...should cut their season back one game and deprive themselves and their communities of that revenue...just to include 4 more upper echelon teams into the playoffs and satisfy a bunch of fans who couldn't care less about them.

Illinois. Indiana. Arizona. Arizona State. Colorado. Minnesota. Wake Forest. Maryland. Rutgers. Vandy. Duke. Iowa State. Kansas. Oregon State. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Why in the hell would they ever agree to this? They wouldn't.

You're assuming that expansion to 8 teams and implementing scheduling requirements would have to be unanimously agreed to by all 130 schools.

Do you honestly think all 130 consented to the current playoff system? is that how small your brain is? Why don't you go do some homework before spouting off about things you know nothing about.

The CFP was ratified by a majority vote of the BCS Board of Managers. The governance structure within the CFP is largely the same -- Conference Commissioners representing the 10 FBS conferences, plus the Notre Dame AD, whose decisions are subject to final approval by the CFP BoM. Care to venture who would have the tie-breaking vote there in your nonsense scenario of revolt? Again, ND. It would be passed with ease, as the original CFP did.

80-100 teams already have a de minimis chance at the playoffs. That was even more true under the BCS. At least my guaranteed bid gives a path to the title, albeit exceedingly exclusive.

The programs you quoted generate significant revenue, each within the top 45 of all fbs programs. If there was a point to be made with those particular schools, it was an extremely poor / inane one. Perhaps you were appealing to cash strapped G5 schools, in which case . . .

. . . the one valid issue you raise is the potential loss of income for G5 schools relying on P5 cupcake game checks. Two things to consider:
(1) It's relatively moot, if the CFP BoM wanted to expand to an 8 team playoff with scheduling requirements, they have the votes to do it.
(2) The cost of scheduling these G5 teams has increased astronomically (most exceed the $1 million mark now), to the point that often one game against a deep-pocketed P5 opponent is enough to meet the operational bottom line for a given season. Subsequent games are merely icing on the cake. By leaving room for to guaranteed games to be scheduled under my system, it leaves more than enough opportunity for cash flow.
