2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

If Indiana lost by 3 then they might not have dropped.
If Bama beat Georgia then Georgia would have dropped.
It’s just putting the winner over the loser.

With a LOT of SEC SEC SEC Bias thrown in.

Please explain this to me:

#1 Ohio State loses its CCG by 3 points and drops in the CFP standings....

But #9 Alabama loses its CCG by 21 points and doesn't drop in the CFP standings.

How is this fair?

Buckeyes lost to an undefeated team just below them, they have to drop at least to #2.

Bama was at #9 and lost to #3, so it‘s a different scenario.

1. I wasn't being entirely serious.

2. Your explanation may explain why Ohio State dropped, but it doesn't explain why Alabama didn't.

The incocsistency of the committee is better questioned by pointing out that:

Bama lost to #3 by 21 in a CCG and didn’t drop below ND

BYU lost to #4 by 22 in a CCG and dropped below Miami

That combination allowed ND and Miami to get next to each other and have the head-to-head result come into play.

No one knows what went on in the heads of the 'Committee', but would have liked to be a fly on the wall. Elevating a 3 loss team, over a surging #2 loss team seems to be confounding (to me at least). Getting smushed by GA should have been a warning to the overall health of Bama, yet they persevered. SEC bias? Almost certainly. Warning to ND that a) join a league; b) don't believe that you're that solid. Anyway, that part of the season has been written in stone, so guess we'll pop some corn and watch things unfold. PS, listening to the talking heads say things like 'we're not going to penalize teams for early season losses', well, losing to Miami in what, first game of season for ND, seems to have been the deciding point between Miami and ND. And gotta laugh, when Duke won the ACC, Miami appears to be the rep.....

Didn’t see a bowl game thread so I’m going to put this in here.

This is crazy. Are we about to see a nuke of the bowl system or just a year with a lot of coaching and personnel changes?
