2021 CFB Playoff Discussion

[BB73]

But why should ND be rewarded for sitting out today? They lost the only game they played against a still ranked team - at home versus Cincinnati. The rest of their schedule was trash, except for a decent Wiscy team. FSU, USC, Stanford, Navy, Georgia Tech, UNC - they're lucky they didn't play a down Clemson, who probably would've beaten them.

Two reasons. One, it shows Brian Kelly bailing on a team that made the CFB Playoff, highlighting his douchebaggery.

And secondly, if they get in now, it’s only because TTUN loses tonight. I’d go for that.

You can make the same argument against UGA

Using the CFP's own rankings, you can't. Gawja went 2-1 versus those teams. ND went 0-1.

I'm not defending having half of the SEC in the top 25. I'm just going by the criteria used.

I can live with those reasons.

Fair enough, I am just pointing out the obvious absurdity of the SEC bias here.

I’m here to help.

Screw it, let Iowa win. I'll root for Fickell and Freeman. I'd take Freeman in a fight but Fickell in a wrestling match!

Yeah, to hell with their respective teams though.

SEC bias and ND favoritism are the reasons I support an 8 team playoff (but no more than 8 teams).

Be great if they make everyone play a D1 schedule and the same number of conference games too. Even further, play playoff games all over the country and not just the south and far west.

I'm trying to watch the B1G CG but I think I'm going to get sick to my stomach.

 

[CincyInterloper]

Yep. But SEC teams lose without ramifications

Yep. You nailed it. What other conference championship loser would get into the CFP?

I support the 8-team model if 4 CCGs are Round 1.

When all their teams are overrated from the very first game this is what happens

Well the best case scenario just happened for TSUN haters. They will have to beat GA and Bammy to win it all.

I’ll have to listen to their DFBA for a month on talk radio but it would be worth it to see them totally depantsed on National TV.

Can’t see them beating GA. Not sure where I heard this, but I believe GA has a bunch of 5 star guys. Then again, I might be mistaken.
