2024 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

[Thump]

Anyone else think that, conference championship games included, it's absolutely insane to expect fanbases to potentially fill stadiums all around America for FOUR neutral site games in a row?

Why spend money going to a quarter final game when your team's opponent is weaker and you might make the national championship?

How many fanbases in college football can even realistically fill four neutal site stadiums in six weeks?

Absolutely.

That cluster of SEC teams looks like the Committee can’t wait to drop Indiana below Tennessee to get 5 SEC teams and only 3 B1G teams.

Yep.
I think it goes back to teams that deserve to be in versus teams that get ratings. Indiana is just Indiana, so it's easy to overlook them and drop them down, if ratings are important. But, to date, other than only beating *ichigan by 5, their games have looked pretty good for them. Unless they lose to Ohio State by a bazillion, I think they should be in the playoffs.
But let's just win the game on Saturday, and then win The Game the following Saturday, and let the committee do what the committee is gonna do.

Indiana is absolutely going to get screwed if we beat them you can see it coming a mile away.

They even kept Missouri in the top 25, and they will likely finish in the top 20 (theyll beat Arkansas and Miss State and finish 9-3) for more "SEE LOOK HOW TOUGH THE SEC IS!" firepower.

Agree 100%
Unless Ohio State wins by 28+ they are likely in (as they should be).

Rooting like hell for Army to knock out the Irish this weekend.

Heh... I have to root for Notre Dame. Dammit. I made a 6-pick parley bet that Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Georgia, and Texas would all make the playoffs. If one doesn't make it, I lose. It's a small bet, so boo-hoo if I lose. But I like winning bets.

And Boise. It's a two fer.
