2024 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Penn St got the sweet draw.

With the current system, the committee got it right.
Now, the system should be changed to make it more fair.

It might seem like a sweet draw but I don't think so. These supposed underdog types always play harder and if taken lightly can bite you in the ass. My worry is what the scUM loss could have done to the psyche of the team and if they're motivated or feeling beaten down inside. That was a HUGE deflation.

I think Boise will be a tough out in round 2

From a betting perspective, UGA was the big winner. Before the final selection there were 4 teams with about the same odds to win the NC: Texas, Oregon, UGA and OSU. Then there was a pretty good sized gap to the next teams.

3 of the 4 ended up on the same side of the bracket

If you like futures bets, UGA is a good one imo.

Bama AD threatening to only play soft OOC schedules from now on is hilarious considering their OOC had NOTHING to do with them missing the playoff. It was losing to mediocre at best conference teams. One of those being a 3 TD blowout

Right. All there losses were in conference. Maybe they look into joining the Big 12 or ACC.

But they lost to mid teams not good teams I don't think adding more mid teams is going to fix that issue

This regional belief will never end unless they move to a super league and everybody plays everybody.

Take 2 teams from the B1G and 2 teams from the SEC in each division as often as possible and just let it all find an equilibrium.

It’s tired already.

Funny how the “you shouldn’t punish a team for losing a extra game they were forced to play in a conference title game” logic only applies to the SEC

I took it to mean they need to increase their non-conference scheduling?

 

[buckeyemania11]

Love the comments claiming OU isn’t really mediocre. They lost to 6 teams who were ranked at the time!! Nevermind that all were by multiple scores and non competitive except Missouri who is one of the most meh 9-3 teams you’ll ever see.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Also hilarious talk of “lesser teams” wanting participation trophies. Because fans of 3+ loss teams crying about not being included aren’t crying for a participation trophy. Zero self awareness from the SEC honk crowd.

Couple of years like this and there are going to be teams from the SEC applying for me,bership to the ACC and Big Twelve.

Beat me to it.

I would avoid it till the status of Beck is known. It’s one thing to have a backup come in and ignite the team, quite another to hand him the reigns and say “Ok kid, go win the Sugar Bowl.”
